Parakeet Cafe

‍‍‍ In the completely fabulous yet superficial world of Beverly Hills , "Parakeet Cafe" is a beacon of kindness, excellence in product, all within a beautiful setting! The staff is down-to-earth and super kind! I enjoyed the mod/hip California interior design, bright, bold and beautiful with wallpaper of huge parakeets, striped flooring and big windows bringing in the California sunshine! The baked goods display looks fantastic offering many gluten-free options, the staff helpful, especially when it comes to those annoying QR code menus, which sare the epitome of "phoning it in". Can ya tell that I dont like them too much? I ordered an Iced Latte, sooo delicious and then ordered a second one to enjoy on the patio... a delightful spot to hear everyone's ridiculously juicy gossip! With friends like these...as the saying goes. I was visiting and probably wouldn't last a week in LA, but THIS place, this place brings ALL of the things one might enjoy as a visitor because it's hip, gorgeous and down to earth. And all of THAT has got to be due to the management/owner of this wonderful chain of cafes, its' TERRIFIC! I especially liked meeting the staffer whose family is from Puerto Rico , a place near and dear to my heart! To the owners : I don't know what your "secret sauce" is but whatever you're doing, keep doing it because you're the coolest and most down to earth spot in all of Beverly Hills. Kol HaKavod!!!

I was about to get there ACAI and I asked them what's in it ( the front guy didn't know and I had to ask for chef) I was very disappointed to find out they use a sorbet base with literally cane sugar .. go to backyard bowls if u want a clean real acai/ this is def not good for you. So disappointing considering their about clean eating.Now for banana bread - very bad. Super dry. No banana taste. I'm shocked they even put this on shelves

I think I enjoy the ambience and service more than the food offerings here.I didn't get there names but I was helped first by a younger maybe middle eastern guy who was super nice and helpful when I had questions. Later, a young asian girl stopped by my table a couple times to ask if I needed anything and to take my plates. She was so sweet!I ordered the chai and a snickerdoodle cookie.The chai had decent flavor but I'm not sure if they made it wrong as I asked for it to be made with milk and it tasted nothing but water. It was so light and almost bland, the chai spices would barely come in after drinking it and it lingered in my throat. The cookie was a bit dense and dry, other than the cinnamon topping I didn't get much flavor in the cookie itself, it just tasted like a "plain dough" cookie.

Cute boutique cafe serving a variety of beverages (coffee, tea, and smoothies) and my fav brunch favorites. Saw this place pop up on social media a number of times and the vibrant green hollandaise completely captivated my interest and I just had to experience it myself...so naturally I trekked my way over with my favorite taste tester. Thanks to my favorite critic I was able to try a new breakfast dish which I have to say was interesting to the palate in the best way possible. We tried the following two dishes.1. Eggs Benedict on toast: of course can't rate a brunch place without trying their eggs Benedict. This beautiful dish was well presented with a buttery toast at the bottom topped with a fairly thick spread of what I would describe as a moss green colored spinach pesto (doesn't look real). On top of the pesto spread was a layer of diced tomatoes and avocado slices, two poached eggs, and finally drizzled with a rich layer of a bright, Kelly green colored poblano hollandaise. It was picture perfect. However have to honest I felt the flavor didn't quite reach my expectations. Nevertheless still worth giving it a try. 2. Shakshuka: this was a new dish I tried. Learned it's a popular middle eastern dish that's served in a hot plate made of a chunky tomato sauce/onions/garlic (with slight spice) mixed with feta cheese, two poached eggs, and sprinkled with chili pepper and chive. This dish is served with two slices of bread that you essentially dip into this rich warm masterpiece. Wouldn't mind eating again. Overall a good brunch place. The food presentation was beautiful but the flavor didn't quite meet my expectations. Would still recommend trying if you're in the LA area.

After a night out of drinking your first thought might be to have a greasy breakfast but I can assure you this is a much wiser choice. Everything here is so fresh, made with high quality ingredients, and no nasty oils or preservatives. We tried an almond croissant to start and after that I knew everything else was going to be delicious. I personally tried the chicken noodle soup and chicken Caesar wrap and oh boy was I satisfied. The soup was exactly what I needed to revive me and the wrap was a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Everyone else at the table was left satisfied as well. We shared a waffle to end the meal and it was delightful. I was full but didn't feel bloated or regretful after this meal. Not to mention, Juan the manger, was polite and very helpful. The restaurant itself was very clean and so cutely decorated. Don't skip the pastry case because my goodness is it filled with so much goodness. I will be returning when I'm in the area.

I tried the Eggs Benedict on Toast at Parakeet Cafe recently. While visually appealing and decent, it didn't wow me enough to crave another visit.Parking is convenient with a nearby garage offering free 2-hour parking if street spots are full, which is handy.The cafe has a pleasant ambience with outdoor seating available, making it a nice spot to relax.Overall, Parakeet Cafe provides a decent experience with a good atmosphere, but the food didn't leave a lasting impression.

2nd Parakeet location I've been to! I was so happy to see there is one walking distance from a work client. Stopped in at 7am for a Flat White (coffee) and worked for about an hour. Great ambiance for working. Music wasn't too loud and because it was so early, it wasn't crowded at all. I didn't try any food this time but many people came in to check if the muffins had arrived so will come back to try!This was my first Flat White and I enjoyed it. I typically get black coffee but this was a nice treat, especially with the artwork. Will be coming back when I visit my client and will try to get my team to have lunch here!

This is a story of how you really should listen to the suggestion of the restaurant when ordering. I am a first timer after hearing rave reviews of parakeet cafe. I mistakenly ordered the salmon toast not realizing that it's covered with an olive tapinade... not great since I do not love olives. I'm really hating my meal while my friend ordered the parakeet bowl with tofu. I'm so jealous because it smells delicious and looks fantastic. I ordered a vegetarian parakeet bowl and now I'm on board with all the good reviews. Portion is huge and worth the drive. I wouldn't recommend the salmon toast.

Great place very good coffee and very unique salmon charcoal waffle definitely will go back

Parakeet is the best!! Most all of the pastries are gluten free and don't hold back with flavor! They have perfected the craft of gluten free!!! They have the most amazing drinks and food. I always leave feeling so healthy and not overly full. The food is organic and fresh. The ambience is light airy fun snd pretty! Make you want to talk longer and stay a while. Try them in San Diego area too when you are down there!!! Total different vibe
