It's just a cute, casual cafe with quality ingredients. And they let me camp out all day with my laptop without blinking twice about it. Of course, I continued to place orders throughout my stay, but I really appreciated the relaxed and welcoming hospitality. Got a lot of work done! I'm a patio girl, but I chose to sit inside because it looked so comfortable and cute. Tropical meets Legally Blonde. Once I settled in, I didn't want to leave. read more

This review isn't for the food. We frequent here pretty often, food is good, service is good. Chill place to get brunch on weekend.. The issue I have is as a pet owner, there are signs all over saying if you have a furry friend feel free to dine on the patio. Respectfully. However we came here and I sat inside today. I know the staff sees it but chooses not to say anything. People letting their pets inside, on the furniture, is disgusting.. this is a health department violation esp when the pets are licking the tables. I do hope management addresses this issue. Just one pic of a few dogs that's were inside. read more

Overall nice experience at this cafe! There is lots of parking and indoor/outdoor seating, we were able to find a spot to sit on a busy Saturday. I thought the mint latte was refreshing and not too sweet, and the food came out shortly after! The green egg scramble was tasty and I enjoyed the bread and avocado that it came with (though I was missing a salsa or something spicy!). I paid ~$30 including tip. My friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap and was disappointed in the size! She was expecting a filling "burrito size", but it was definitely more "snack size". It doesn't help that it's plated alone on a large plate, exaggerating its disappointing size. Id come back again! Avoiding the wraps if hungry. read more

So I've been to this location a couple of times. There is always a line for sure. I thought the prices are a little on the higher side but it is also location impacted. However, everything I've tried, I've enjoyed. The first time I came I got a latte and a pastry I believe. This time, Sunday I got a lemon blueberry scone which I was pleasantly surprised by. My niece didn't care for it but I really enjoyed the taste. Lots of blueberries and not too sweet at all. I wished I had asked them to heat it up. On Monday, I got the mint latte and I enjoyed it as well. Cute cup if nothing else. I do need to come back and grab actual food item. Next time. SYOY! read more

Very cute cafe in Newport Coast with a charming ambiance and fresh, healthy food options. They also make a great cappuccino. There was an issue with the restroom toilet not flushing properly and when I advised a staff member that I managed to flush it after a couple of attempts, but that they would probably want to get it checked out (as I heard another patron mention the issue as well), I received a insincere "thank you" that I felt would be discarded. If the toilet and staff attitude are resolved, I would certainly return. read more

I love coming here! Even the drive there on PCH is part of the experience and always puts me in a good mood. My go-tos are the jicama chips & the waffers. Especially the chai and mocha flavored ones. Supee satisfying and surprisingly low calories. Theyre around 30-45 calories per pack and they keep me full longer than I expect. I literally drive 20 minutes to stock up on snacks for the week. Besides the snacks Ive tried their lattes which are also delicious. They also serve other food items & pastries, I have never tried them but I want to go back one of these days for brunch because they look amazing. The cafe itself is gorgeous too.. it feels warm and beautifully decorated. read more

Pricy & popular but very good healthy options which is great when you're on vacation(need to balance with all the drinking & eating bad stuff lol) After reading reviews raving about SoCal burrito I was excited to try it.I was a little underwhelmed it was mostly rice with a little beans and mushrooms.I ordered extra salsa but they only gave me a tiny amount.I regretted not adding some protein to it. I also had the green goddess salad,not bad. Husband had tuna sandwich liked it except for the gluten free bread. My daughter liked her chicken Cesar wrap.We probably wouldn't go out of our way to eat here but our daughter lives in area and is a big fan! read more

Parakeet Cafe - Newport Beach - Talk about thoughtfulness! We received a holiday greeting card from the restaurant with our name. Too kind and considerate. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

A Beautiful location and a great stop after a Crystal Cove hike. Its a casual Cafe that has you ordering at the counter with the food being brought to you. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The menu emphasizes healthy and organic selections with modifications to some items, allowing you to make it paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. No seed oils used here. The only oil used includes olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil. Although the cashier was super friendly, her knowledge on the menu was limited. We had a few questions on ingredients and modifications and she couldn't offer substitutions available or ingredients in a dish. She did ask the chef, which I appreciate, but it slows down the line and doesn't answer all our questions. We ordered the breakfast burrito, which included scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. I removed the labneh to make it dairy free and substituted it for guacamole. I also had them remove the pico de gallo and ordered the burrito with a gluten free tortilla. The burrito was hearty and flavorful and the guacamole was definitely a good swap. We also ordered the French Omlette sandwich. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked. The homemade brioche bun was delicious and fresh. I Hate to say this, but this sandwich had way to many greens with some tasting inedible. Although a bit pricey, we enjoyed our meal, and customer service was great. I do feel they could use more staff. I felt bad for the only girl working the floor who had to deliver food, and clear and clean the tables. She wiped the food off the outdoor tables onto the floor and it was never swept up. We looked down and realized the floor had a lot of food scraps. read more

This was my boyfriend's and my first time visiting Parakeet Cafe, and we ordered the Smoked Salmon Toast with eggs. The food was absolutely delicious! The only issue was that the toast was a little hard, but I didn't say anything because I was feeling shy. What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. Kami, the manager, noticed I was having a difficult time with the toast and kindly stepped in without me even having to ask. She refunded our order and brought us a new one. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Great food and even better service-I would definitely recommend Parakeet Cafe to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience! read more

The service was great and everything we ordered was excellent. We will make sure to come back soon!

What a cute little spot! I came on a Sunday morning after hiking Crystal Cove. It's was busy very busy. The line wasn't long when I arrived, but the wait took a some time considering I only ordered a latte. I love the decor! It's very vibrant. They have seating Inside and outside. It's located inside a shopping center with plenty of parking. The workers were friendly. And the coffee was tasty. I just had a plain latte with their house made pistachio milk. I would love to come back to try their food! read more

Tasteful and enjoyable! What a treat for breakfast or brunch this restaurant can be. The cappuccinos were delicious, meticulously prepared and full of flavor.

I generally manage my expectations do my research, etc. however today just wasn't the day for me at parakeet Café. Being that it was a holiday of course the shopping center and parakeet were busy as usual with a small line out the door. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but no fault to the café. I queued up and was immediately greeted by the female order to take her/cashier with black hair. She was phenomenal. Very friendly I explained where we would be sitting since the front café seating area was full and she took note of it. We opted for the tuna sandwich, the tuna tartare with chips, and Arnold Palmer, and an iced tea. The total for the bill was over $40 plus tip. We were able to move our seats into the designated parakeet café dining area. A male food runner/server about 6 foot tall with short brown hair brought out our second beverage and then return several minutes later with the order. The tuna sandwich was just OK. There was some flavor that was putting me off from enjoying it. I would have to go back to the ingredients to specifically find out what that was. But it was a very small portion of fresh tuna. (Not tuna salad) on a very dry, crusty, hard to choose sourdough bread. It made the sandwich unenjoyable. We opted to have the potatoes which were the star of the meal. Those were delicious. You have an option for salad or potatoes and we chose potatoes. The tuna tartare with chips was similar to the tuna salad. If not the same I didn't really pay attention. The chips were good. Overall everyone knows you can get a similar item next-door at Bear flag. I'm not a fan of Bare flag. The sounded like an interesting starter to have with our meal. The beverages were fine. Overall, the experience was good, but nothing stands out as extraordinary. I know people love it for many of the benefits, including no seed oil, fresh baked items, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. that is fantastic. I would probably come back and try other items maybe one of the toast or wraps. read more

What about food was OK. Burrito was wet. A lot of sauce and overall just OK. The server was OK until we finish eating and they gave up our table really fast. The patrons there kept looking at us and pointing and the head lady came over and asked to wipe down our table instead of asking us nicely to leave. The ambiance was OK. I just really don't appreciate them trying to kick us out and they could've asked somebody else. read more

Parakeet Café - Newport Coast - 5/5 stars Parakeet Café has always been a favorite of mine from their Coronado location, so I was thrilled to see they opened a spot in Newport Coast! The vibe here is just as stylish and welcoming....bright, airy, and perfect for catching up with a friend or getting a little work done. Their hot mocha is still my go-to drink: rich, not overly sweet, and made with quality ingredients that you can really taste. That said, their menu is packed with other tempting options from beautifully crafted lattes to refreshing wellness drinks and smoothies. They also have a great selection of fresh pastries, breakfast items, and healthy bites, all with that signature Parakeet touch. It's quickly become one of my favorite places in the area, and I'm so glad they've expanded to Newport. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Food and service here is amazing!! We love all the food we've tried and the drinks are so yummy as well! Mari and Tay are our favorites!!

What an amazing Gem at Crystal Cove. I eat here three times a week after my gym sessions. Their food is organic, locally sourced ingredients, seed oil free. I eat at restaurants that care about what they feed their guest and do hinge right. There staff is always so polite and welcoming which shows from the GM at the restaurant because she is always so accommodating and friendly. The Parakeet theme is so cool at the restaurant with the mosaic of the parakeet at the back of the restaurant, the pink neon light on the wall that says "love at first flight". What's amazing is the times they are open too from 7am-7pm. You won't make a mistake picking Parakeet cafe. I take my friends here from all around the world when they visit and they always take about it in later conversations. read more

I recommend going before lunch because the line was the out the door. Parking got crazy at lunch time too. But they have a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very nice and the service was excellent. However, the power bowl was not very powerful. It was essentially an arugula salad with some potatoes and mushrooms. It's not very filling and definitely more of an appetizer. Mushroom cacao chai: a very healthy chocolate flavored chai. I recommend it as it wasn't too sweet and pretty light. Pear pie: a disappointing pastry. It was mostly applesauce but pears on a pre-baked tart. A little bland and something that would be served at a retirement home because it was so mushy and inoffensive. I wouldn't recommend this. Overall, I would come here for drinks but not food. Especially when the same plaza has so many nice restaurants like Marche Moderne. read more

First thing you notice is the happiness of the staff. It made me just happy to be there. There was a line when we first got there, but it went by fast! Seats were a bit hard to find bc it was non on Sunday, but we got a seat outside! Cold brew was a little on the burnt bean aroma side, but went well with the cookie! I had a toast harvest?, which was my first avocado toast ever bc I could never justify the price. But why not experience rich Newport life with a 16$ toast. The heirloom tomatoes were good and hot sauce elevates true experience. I was inspired to make my own at home so I got the ingredients at the tj in the same plaza. Next time I visit, I'll have a bowl like my friend bc it looked so good! it was a beautiful day, beautifully smiley staff AND DOG SO FRIENDLY read more

I absolutely love parakeet! It's all seed oil free, filled with helpful and friendly employees and established in a beautiful shopping center with an ocean view. Every ingredient is fresh and perfectly cooked. I recently tried their healthy bowl with organic tofu and that filled me up! It was veggie forward, healthy and delicious- just what I was craving. Their strawberry matcha is perfect for a hot summer day. It's made with real strawberries! My only complaint is that whenever I come to pick up an order, no employee ever interacts with me when I obviously need help just standing by one of the cash registers. It happens every time and we only get helped when we recognize one of our favorite employees (Damian, Mari or Vlad). A simple "have you been helped?" Or "need anything?" would be great to help me get out of there faster. read more
