First time customer. Food was amazing, staff was helpful and friendly (that means you Cheryl!) parking sucked a little but the service was fast and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I was told everything was made from scratch and I believe it! Had their breakfast burrito and a slice of zucchini bread and took one of their bomb brown butter cookies to go. Prices were a little higher but you get what you pay for! I will definitely go back and was happy to see there are couple locations closer to my house! read more

My friend and I came here on a Sunday around 1 for brunch. There was a little line but it moved quickly and the servers were friendly. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I got the rancheros and my friend got the burrito. The portions aren't huge but it was definitely satisfying and not overly heavy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the way the place was decorated and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (shaded too!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have been coming here for years and have always enjoyed each experience here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I normally come here to study and although it's normally busy, I never have a hard time finding a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually get the Honey Cinnamon latte which is always so good and the Cold Foam Matcha latte which is good but isn't the best I've had. They have many food options which is a plus. They also serve breakfast all day and have many different food options for different restrictions. read more

Great service and food. Very friendly vibe. We come here to work, hang out and spend time with family and friends. Thank you Chloe. read more

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! read more

Arrived about 9:30 on Friday morning. Short line to order, but while we were eating the line lengthened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It appeared to be graduation day for some schools. Several families with school age kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband ordered the breakfast croissant & I ordered eggs w/ mushrooms on GF sourdough toast. My husband said his sandwich was good. My eggs were fine, but the bread wasn't toasted. I was expecting toast. Our drink order: a latte with oat milk & a decaf vanilla latte were good. Nothing special. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio seating is nice with umbrellas for shade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I don't think Parakeet was anything special. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Jaymie was very helpful and greeted us with lots of energy. She had lots of knowledge about the items that were offered.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love the cute vibe and food at Parakeet Cafe! The cappuccino is one of my favorite cappuccinos in all of San Diego. There are so many vegetarian and gluten free dishes on the menu.

Okay, so this place has the BEST drinks and wellness latees. My favorite is the Blue Magic latte, but seriously try any and all of them! The Honey Cinnamon & Tumeric Latte are other favorites. The staff is super friendly and kind. Store & patio seem very clean and well attended to, looks as though all health protocols are followed, which is a big deal for me! I usually stick with the Mushroom Toast which is my favorite, that feta spread is insane! (Even if you're not a fan of truffle like I was, you might change your mind after trying this!) The acai bowl is really yummy too. Highly reccomend for breakfast or lunch. read more

Love that it's dog-friendly (huge plus!) and has such a cute, trendy vibe. The menu has so many tempting options, I'm already planning to come back to try their food.

so many amazing gluten free options here! i went in the morning after a rainy day & [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside was packed/loud but when the patio isn't wet, it's beautiful & a great place to work/catch up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] most of their pastries are gluten free (i love the banana oat muffin!) i got a latte and the greek yogurt bowl (the jam in the middle was delicious!). [[HIGHLIGHT]]there were quite a few outlets & some booths for cozy seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service takes a bit of time since it's so popular so i wouldn't go in a rush but would highly recommend! read more

I've lived across the street from this place for over a year and I've tried quite a few dishes here. The croissant breakfast sandwich is actually really satisfying. I'm pretty picky about how my eggs are cooked and they weren't hammered. Once I was craving the açai bowl here and it really hit the spot too. I'm not normally a sweets person for breakfast. Service is fast, which is great. Sometimes it can get pretty hectic to find a table for your group. This morning, I had to fend off someone else just to have an indoor seat for myself. Very cute decor in here as with all the other cafés. read more

The chicken caesar wrap changed my life. I'm normally not one to order wraps, but I have not stopped thinking about this one since I had it yesterday. The chicken is so well-seasoned, but really everything about the wrap was just perfect. Everything else was just okay for me, but I appreciate that Parakeet Cafe is seed-oil- and refined-sugar-free so I didn't feel gross after having a meal here. They have the option for unsweetened coconut milk for their beverages, which is something not many places offer. There's also plenty of seating with the outdoor tables shaded by umbrellas, so it'd be a great place to work/study. read more

I still love this please because of the organic, no seed oil, carefully curated menu;however, it seems that they changed some items including their amazing hot chocolate which used to resemble real chocolate. I hope they reconsider returning to the original recipe. Their timer OC is a bit sweeter. Slight changes. I hope their growth does not affect their quality too drastically. Thank you read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Went early morning, appears to be lots of seating and dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was nice. Avo toast was ok. I enjoyed the variety of what was served on it (radish, avocado, egg, pepper flakes and chili oil). Chili oil was not too spicy. Egg had nice runny yolk. Good amount of avocado. However, the blue corn waffle was slightly undercooked. A bit sad for the $20 I spent on it :/. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was okay, definitely pricey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would like to try the pastries and drinks next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but they should have a designated pickup parking spot for takeout orders. We live close by and often place orders for pickup, but end up having to park in the parking lot, walk over to grab the order, and then walk all the way back to the car. The temporary parking spots in front are often taken by people dining in. Would love to see a better system for local regulars picking up orders! read more

The coffees were good, and the pastries were delicious. It's a fun place with a good outside. Being that it's such a drive, it's not somewhere I'll make a drive to, but if I'm in One Paseo I'll consider stopping by. It's nice they have their things to know board, which is a big plus. read more
