    Protein Waffle
    Lianna T.

    If we had more mornings in San Diego, there is no doubt we would have returned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]An abundance of healthy and gluten free options, in a fun and colorful space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. We ordered the protein waffle (GF) and a banana bread loaf. The protein waffle was shockingly delicious with no protein powder or gluten - how do they do it? The loaf was also very tasty. Please come to Austin so we can try more menu options!

    Wow! Wow! Wow! [[HIGHLIGHT]]An awesome lovely place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband wanted coffee but with something different and this place is all pink and soon as I saw I was like I need to date my daughters here so awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was young lady so pretty and so helpful she got me her favorite drink and my husband hot chocolate and we tried the danish and vegan chocolate chip.... Must Try!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cafe right in the corner of the mall with plenty of both indoor and patio seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Large drink menu with coffees and other lighter options like spirulina Hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. Their muffins were large and hardy. Plenty of bakery offerings like cookies, croissants, scones, muffins and wafers

    Matcha latte with pumpkin spice fall special
    Diane Y.

    Parakeet Cafe has always been a healthy and tasty higher end quality restaurant with lots of delicious options for various appetites. This is vegan squash soup with sourdough bread. Plus a wonderful pumpkin matcha latte. If you want a nice place for a special lunch or brunch or a coffee date, this will be for you! And the staff are always nice and friendly.

    One of the most simple, yet amazing Acai bowls I've ever had!

    05-Aug-2025 I love a fresh, cold açaí bowl. While consulting in One Paseo I stumbled on Parakeet Cafe' and learned they have açaí bowls. I tried it and was not disappointed. As far as vibe and the inside, I actually visited a few days prior for a meeting and the ambiance and vibe is what made me come back. Also, the fact that a friend had an açaí bowl and I had to try it for myself. If you are in or near One Paseo and want a delicious açaí bowl then stop by Parakeet Cafe'. Thanks, Ashley

    Shakshuka (veg)
    Jake T.

    It was my first time having the food here after a recommendation from others! The service was also pretty nice. The food came out quickly and they took our orders quickly. There was a little bit of a line but it went by fast. They had fill your own water, which is definitely a plus for me as I drink a lot of water I enjoyed their chicken pesto sandwich but I thought there was a wee too much bread for the amount of chicken that was on the sandwich. I was a big fan of their potatoes though. The Shakshuka was alright. I wish there was more bread here(we used the extra bread from the sandwich. It was a bit yogurt heavy as well. Parking was also pretty simple as it is in a larger plaza. Overall, this place was alright! If you want some light breakfast/lunch food, I would recommend it!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is so cute and very allergy friendly, I can't eat gluten or dairy and there were so many options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I couldn't decide so the cashier told me his favorite and he was right. I loved the salted maple latte it was amazing. I really wish I lived closer I'd be there everyday!

    I had been here about two years ago, having lunch with a friend... I ordered a beautiful salad yet it was so bland that I didn't want to come back. This time I ordered something different. I had a meeting here on a Thursday morning. Customers came in waves. I ordered a Turmeric Latte (1/2 sweetness) and the savory All I Avo Wanted Waffle. The latte was perfect in sweetness for me. The savory take on the waffle was surprisingly tasty that I look forward to having it again. (The side sauce was a bit too spicy.) The creamy avocado and fluffy egg had the perfect texture. There was a little bit of spice to it but it was tolerable. Overall, I was impressed with the food this time around that I would return.

    This looked amazing
    Jasmine P.

    Delicious but pricey. Prices are in line with other establishments in the area though. We've tried a lot of their selection over time but today I tried the side Wild Caught Tuna with Chips. It was a good snack and not too overly filling. The tuna had a tasty sauce on it and there were chunks of fresh avocado and jalapeño slices mixed in. Delicious! Service was friendly especially as I had questions on the menu. Parking is a bit difficult during lunch.

    Poke Bowl (gf)
    Amanda Y.

    The protein waffle was just perfect. I also got the poke bowl, can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. It was very hard to decide what to get! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty busy on a Thursday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Overnight Oats (gf, v)
    Tyler L.

    Great food. The overnight oats hit the spot as well as the yogurt bowl. Very high quality food. Feel so refreshed after eating it! Thanks for the great service. Especially with me being a new visitor. Very welcoming environment. Seems to be a real hot spot for breakfast in Del Mar. if you haven't had it I highly recommend!

    Beet smoked salmon with sourdough, labneh, avocado eggs and grilled asparagus.  Very good!
    Meredith D.

    Love Parakeet and I do come frequently. The salmon avocado toast is very good. The eggs were salty and I've noticed that with prior egg dishes. The pastries an amazing as are their drinks and packaged vegan products-- the peanut butter chocolate shortbread is so good! Keto and vegan. Service is always very friendly. Cute place and in a great location in One Paseo. Afternoons are a perfect time to come.

    Flat Black Latte
    Joyce L.

    Activated charcoal? Why, yes, I'd love to buy into the hype! No idea if it actually does anything amazing for my health, but frankly it tastes delicious the way Parakeet prepares it so whatevs! :D My idea of good eats that are also (supposedly) good *for* you: a Flat Black Latte (activated charcoal, homemade lavender honey, milk), a Grains & Greens Bowl (Gf, V) (red quinoa & brown rice, spiced roasted yam, kale & cucumber salad, grilled asparagus, crunchy garbanzo, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, togarashi & morita nut cream) with added Grilled Salmon (Gf), and a Charcoal Waffle (Gf, V) (activated charcoal Belgian waffle, date coconut cream, strawberries, banana, house-made granola, house-made nutella *contains sesame seeds). Split with a friend so you get both savory and sweet in your brunch! Counter service is convenient, but a bit lackluster. I appreciate that there's plenty of indoor as well as outdoor seating at this particular location, but the music could be turned down a notch throughout as the noise level impedes conversation.

I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll made with croissant dough and to be honest, the pain eu chocolate wasn't the freshest I've had, but I still enjoyed it OK. I wouldn't order that again, but I would definitely get the cinnamon roll again. That was one of the best ones I've had. I loved that it was made from croissant dough, which made it lighter and more flaky than most cinnamon rolls. I have high standards for croissants as I've been to France many times. :) The view that I got to enjoy these watching while sitting outside, made it such a great experience. I balanced my sweets with a cold refreshing iced Americano, and I would like to come back to try the Nutella danish. The service was great. There was a sweet girl working that helped me and allowed me to take my time looking.

FYI: TOAST shares a parking lot with Ken Sushi Workshop (Ken's…read morewas packed on a Friday at 12PM and they couldn't seat me for 20+ mins; being a solo diner didn't matter, so be sure to make a ressie at Ken's if you want to eat there!). But I digress, back to the parking. Be prepared to look for a spot to park, but atleast parking is ample and shaded. I left TOAST before 2PM and people were still driving into the parking lot! I walked to TOAST a little reluctant, seeing how it's inside a corporate building. Once inside, I followed the signs. The interior is a little sterile but it is a much larger and pleasant space than I expected. No music. It is very quiet inside. There is a pretty outside patio in the back that caught my eye but I chose to sit inside. The booth seating is very comfortable. This place is a solid choice if you're single btw. You can sit pretty much anywhere with your laptop or if you just want to read a book and enjoy some fine ass coffee in peace, you can! I love coffee and espresso, and it turns out their Mexican Mocha is quite the fabulous diva. The mocha cup is a glorious, oversized mug with the most delicious sprinkled cinnamon on top. It was hot, rich and delicious. I missed breakfast (it's over by 11:30AM, so I'll return to try their French Toast and their Filipino Breakfast burrito). I decided to get the "Ain't Your Classic Burger" cheeseburger, which is on the Sandwich side of their menu. That Chuck brisket patty, you guys... ooh, it's to DIE for. Tender. Moist. Gigantic. A whopper size of a burger with the perfect amount of melted cheese, pickles, spring lettuce (yay! No sad iceberg crap), chopped fresh red onions (my favorite), brown butter dijonaise (ugh so good), and a secret sauce that was actually worth being called a secret. I didn't add extras, but you can actually add an egg or bacon to your burger. High Cholesterol lovers can unite and rejoice here lol. it's worth noting how fresh all of the ingredients tasted. The brioche bun was a nice choice. So was the crisp spring mix lettuce, the juicy tomato and crunchy red onion bits. I ordered a side of fries and tbh, they were average. They reminded me of an attempt on McD's french fries. They did come in a cute stainless steel fry basket and it does elevate the plate presentation, but I might skip those next time. It was the cheeseburger that had my full attention here... well, and the delightful mocha. No pictures this time. I devoured everything. I think this is a solid cafe on this side of town. It's hard to find zero wait times, available and comfortable seating, fresh food, solid portions, and continual peacefulness in a morning/early lunch establishment. I'll be back soon.

Came back here for brunch with a few friends, and the experience was just as good as I remembered.

I highly recommend this place.
