    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 :)

    Lavender matcha latte

    Couldn't make it through my day without stopping in for a coffee or matcha here! Roderick and Zinna always are a delight and make some of the best coffee I've had, even while the café is crowded and bustling. Definitely recommend for good service, good coffee, and for the cute garden area outside!

    Absolutely love this Parakeet cafe location! Their food and drinks are so delicious. Roderick and Zinna are the best baristas! Their personalities and amazing customer service has me coming back day after day. They've become an essential part of my week. They make an effort to remember your "usual" order and the quality of product they put forth is always 10/10. I bring colleagues and clients to this location because the ambiance is cute, intimate, and a true coffee house feel. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Chinese chicken salad, burger, iced vanilla matcha, matcha wafers

    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!

    I found this wonderful Café ftom Google Maps, I wanted to find somewhere to wait for my friend's Appointment... Menú has a large selection of Breakfast, Lunch items as well as healthy items. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with an Americano

    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.

    Salted Maple Latte

    I love coming to this parakeet cafe! Roderick and the team are always super friendly and welcoming and the drinks and food are always delish! Love to come here for my caffeine fix!

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

    Had a really good experience today! Shout out to Andrew who helped us after running into some…read moreissues with the app and gift card we had. He couldn't have handled it any better. Additionally, I redeemed my bday treat today for the strawberry muffin, and he surprised us by putting an extra one in our bag. Great customer service and looking forward to returning! What we tried - the new green coconut curry. Delicious! If you like a creamy curry, you'll enjoy their version. Only things I wish was for more veggies and maybe the option to have brown rice instead of white. I think you can add a protein, so if you get this, I'd recommend adding tofu! Would be delicious with this plant based protein.

I was hoping to see abundant lettuces, some avocado, healthy pieces of roasted turkey, punchy gorgonzola vinaigrette. I got what seemed like not a lot of lettuces, watery diced up sliced turkey spread throughout, some fresh avocado, and a mild but tasty vinaigrette, and some good pickled onions. So it wasn't what I was expecting for a Cobb Salad, but rather felt like a watered down and small version. Chicken Kabob had only small diced up chicken, no chunks of chicken like you might expect and no smoky flavors. Tuna poke had some good raw tuna, rice, greens etc. But what I really felt like was going on here is that instead of price inflation we have portion reduction. All our bowls were on the smaller side, though the prices are still decent for what you can get nowadays. Lunch for four almost $100. Just not deeply satisfying. Service was quick and prompt and there is plenty of great outdoor seating. Looking for an ok healthy bite you can go here, but reality did not meet my expectations here.

I immediately noticed a different texture than the usual, somewhat liquid-y Viet curries I've had. The texture is more viscous--almost emulating a Japanese curry. I actually enjoyed the texture a lot. As for the flavor, the curry was evidently well-seasoned and definitely did Vietnamese curry justice. Also, get the curry with the baguette! It's warm and fluffy! We also ordered tofu summer rolls and I wasn't too impressed with it. It didn't have much going on with the flavor. Fortunately, the accompanying peanut sauce tasted great! It was nicely sweet without being overkill. I added a little bit of chili paste to give it a little bit of heat. It really worked well with the sweetness of the peanut sauce. I think the summer rolls could have used pickled radish and carrots instead of plain to really elevate the flavor and give it a nice kick. Service was excellent and the waiter was amicable. Also, the establishment was well decorated with Buddhist motif.

The eggplant and tofu entree was insane in a good way. Bold robust flavor and healthy portion with jasmine rice. Our server Sun, was kind with good suggestions.

    Here for work from NJ and bookmarked this place for the plethora of vegetarian options…read more A friend and I were the first ones in and after deciding on a few dishes to try, the friendly staff were more happy to answer questions. Firstly- the portions are huge! Salt and Pepper Tofu - Crispy chunks of tofu and broccoli with lots of flavor. This is a dry dish so the tofu stays crispy all through. Mongolian Crispy "Beef" - Amazing umami flavor. I got halfway through eating top to bottom before I realized the crispy short rice noodles were at the bottom! Advice: Mix it as you get it before eating. As we were finishing what we could of the meal we could smell fresh baked goods. I went to get a box for leftovers from the back counter and saw trays of fresh baked cookies on the counter. Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and the one that had my attention- Funfetti with an Oreo in the middle! When I asked if they had any ready up front they insisted I have one of the hot fresh ones out the oven! No pic of the cookie, it didn't make it far! Wish we had places like this near me in NJ.

Also had Pad Thai, large bowl, very eye appealing, good with slightly chewy vegan Chick'n strips. Too many large chunks of onion for my taste as I'm not an onion fan, I prefer mild scallions on mine.
