I've been coming to this particular parakeet for a good 3 years now and Zinna and Rodrick make the best drinks. I always make sure one of them is making my lavender matcha latte! read more

Great salads and smoothies here! I got the Crunchy Chinese Salad (kale, roasted bell peppers, carrots, edamame, pickled cabbage, pickled cucumber, crispy brown rice, toasted cashews, sesame seeds, chives, and turmeric Asian dressing). It was beautiful to look at and tasty too. I also got the Green Fix smoothie (kale, spinach, celery, coconut water, coconut meat, chia, apple, flax seed, dates, agave, and spirulina). It was refreshing and delicious. Parakeet Cafe has many locations. This one is located inside an office complex. Man I wish I work in this building so I can get healthy breakfasts and lunches at work. read more

Rod, Zinna and Gierico give the best service here. Been coming to the Parakeet location close to 2 years. Rod and Zinna been serving up good coffee and food and Gierico been doing the same the past few months. Menu has had some changes but the food selection remains solid. I've always enjoyed the Shakshuka or the Best Burger Ever always hits! Cold Brew, Honey Cinnamon or any of their seasonal specials are good too as well as their pastries. Definitely come by and sometime a certain celebrity ends up here. read more

I've been to the the other Parakeet location in Del Mar and I had to say this is better in my opinion, mostly because it's more of a co-working space so you it's not extremely busy and noisy, making it a perfect place. It's also bigger than the Del Mar location and it has a loooot of couches, tables and high tables inside as well as some outdoor tables. I believe it's in a shared office space and there are a lot of offices in the area. I ordered a latte and it was great! The staff was also very friendly. Il definitely come back next time when I'm around this area :) read more

Food: The smoked salmon egg and toast was the best smoked salmon toast I have ever eaten. It was beautifully plated and looked very aesthetic. The flavor combination was so good and balanced, with nothing overpowering the other. The toast itself was perfectly toasted. The salads are okay but pretty and the teriyaki chicken bowl was pretty good in flavor. Everything is on the healthier end yet enjoyable. Service: The service was super kind, patient, and helpful which made the experience even better. Ambiance: The cafe is very open, bright, and spacious with a really aesthetic feel. It has such cute decor. It is located within a business area inside one of the buildings. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes are really chill and it is not a super loud or busy type of place. read more

Wow. Drinks: Amazing tonic selection. Or champs in a bottle, or cold pressed coconut water... or a super fresh and yummy Latte! What's not to love? Food: Delicious, fresh (and nutrient dense!!). So many options whether you want sweet or savory. I've tried so many dishes at a few different locations and I'm never disappointed. Service: always cheery and helpful. Decor: bright and uplifting. Love this place. This particular location is in an office park and can be a little tricky to spot. Just head inside of the "office building" for a nice surprise. read more

Love a seed-oil free, organic spot. My not so crunchy fiancé was skeptical about my decision to go here at first, but absolutely loved the burger. He ate the entire thing and said he would come back in a heartbeat. The Chinese chicken salad was insane and loved the dressing. The matcha was also great as well as ceremonial grade and organic! Loved this spot and will definitely make it a go to spot when down in La Jolla! read more

Parakeet Cafe - Salted Maple Latte - Vegetarian Near Me - San Diego, California

The area was quiet with a lot of open seating. Great place to do work inside or outside. I even miss ordered my meal and the staff were very accommodating and let me exchange for something else :) read more

One of my favorite places to have lunch as well as grab a chai or cappuccino on the way to work. The breakfast and lunch options are healthy and delicious, from the toasts and special bowls (the Parakeet Bowl with salmon is one of my favorites) and tempting desserts. The staff is exceptional and Roderick always goes above and beyond and makes everyone feel welcome. I especially like the atmosphere and the beautiful garden. I can't recommend it enough and it is my favorite place to take people for a birthday lunch or for a meeting. In regard to parking there is both a free lot (it can be a little tough to find the first time). There are 15 minute spots in front of Parakeet which makes it super easy to grab tea or coffee in the morning. read more

Amazing food and service! Rod and the team are always so welcoming, such a great experience every time.

I've had at least 30 iced Salt Maple Lattes made by Roderick, and every single one has been amazing. It's always so, so, so good! Thank you!

Rod and his team are awesome! They are always friendly and make an effort to remember you if you are a returning customer. They use high quality ingredients in the food. My favorite item is the chicken Caesar wrap! read more

Parakeet Cafe offers delicious healthy food with a cute outdoor patio to enjoy the meal. Charcoal Waffle (5/5) - the coconut cream and date syrup were fantastic with the Belgian waffle. This dish was perfect to share with friends. Power Bowl (4/5) - filling bowl with well-cooked vegetables which paired great with the spicy labneh Chicken sausage (2/5) - although homemade, I wish there was more flavor and spices to bring a more breakfast sausage flavor read more

Amazing customer service that makes a welcoming experience! Staff will take the time to remember names and even orders plus great coffee and pastries! read more

The first thing that stood out to me is the service. Roderick the manager was super attentive, kind and gracious when handling our order. He was very detail oriented with our order making sure there was nothing that we were allergic to in our meal. Taking that time and care is something that we have found to be super rare. The food was fresh and prepped made to order. Everything was really yummy. The coffee was also super delicious. I also appreciated how many options there were that were vegan and gluten free both savory and sweet. I almost always get the salmon, and it's fresh and perfectly cooked every time! The space is big and clean and outside there is a beautiful and much loved veggie and flower garden. My girlfriend and I spent a good 20 minutes just in awe of it and all the happy plants, butterflies and bees. A hidden gem for sure! Will be back! read more

Coffee is always on point. A lot of food variations available all equally delicious. Staff goes above and beyond every time we are there. Great service! read more

It was ok, just come for the atmosphere not the coffee! The food was also not worth it in my opinion.

Amazing place!! Love everyone who works here, they are super friendly and kind. Plus amazing matcha too!

This place rocks your socks off. If you are an employee in the alexandria business buildings, you get a discount. This is a really nice and relaxed eatery in the business park. It is almost offensively pink, but I dig the vibe. Everything I have tried here is phenomenal, but with the prices, it is a treat to eat here. There is a lush organic garden right outside, and if you need any tips for your own garden, the gardeners are there every afternoon. Come check this place out and enjoy some good food and good coffee! read more

This is a newer location tucked in a building, but easily recognizable by the ample outdoor area and cute decor. The inside and outside are both spacious, and offer a variety of seating, including a large table perfect for a casual business meeting. The food here was 10/10. I had the avocado toast which was perfectly crunchy and an awesome flavor. The beets really make this plate. The salmon I added and was perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This is a cute breakfast/lunch spot. Service is 10/10 and extremely helpful as well. There is a good variety of food and drinks even for the pickiest of people. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area :) read more

Super cute cafe tucked in the middle of a small campus of office buildings. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and the decor is so cute! I love all the pink! I ordered the Thai bowl with tofu and a London fog. The London fog was delicious! Definitely hit the spot. It was the right temperature and not overly sweet at all. I did like the flavors of the Thai bowl but felt that it was oversaturated in sauce. If I didn't add on the tofu, I don't think that I would have liked it as much. The tofu was very tasty and had a great consistency. I did like the different textures within the bowl and it was fairly filling. For $8 add-on price, I wish there was at least 1 more piece of tofu. read more
