Parakeet Café

Food is 10/10 especially the pastries.The ambience is very relaxed and positive. This cafe reflects the positive and relaxed energy of La Jolla and its residents.The service is 10/10 with kind and pleasant employees.Bathroom is very clean and smells good. People don't trash the bathroom here even though it's a busy and high traffic place. This reflects the beauty of the visitors besides the coffee shop. Definitely will be my top place to visit in La Jolla. Only thing I did not like is they do not have a wifi so I had to go to some neighboring places for a zoom meeting. Overall it's a beautiful place to visit and drink coffee. Positivity is everywhere.

Prices are a little steep. Squash soup okay, a tad bit on the sweeter side compared to other squash soups I've had. But the consistency is great - velvety and true to a bisque. Avocado toast was meh and the gluten free bread nothing special. Really enjoyed the raw beet spirals, radish, seeds, and crunchy mung beans. Down-side - the avocado was overly smashed, making it a runny consistency??? IMO just use sliced avocado or gently smashed the avocado so it's not like a sauce. Given that the menu item is avocado toast, I'd prefer to actually get avocado and not just a mere smear of avocado "sauce" under the toppings. A handful of tables to sit at inside, but the interior is a very small space. Ample seating outdoors. Staff is great.There's several bakery items to choose from and ample gluten free options :)

Excellent location, what an awesome view the people who work here are able to enjoy! I was going to ask if they were hiring, so nice! I really liked the girl who worked there because she had to put up with me asking to change my drink. I ordered the lemonade but it tasted like water. Really pretty drink and no matter how well she indicated how to mix it...still tasted like nothing to me. So I asked for a cappuccino and it was perfect, so I guess I should stick to my usual drinks. In terms of vibe for me is the terrace. Inside is more plain looking that other coffee shops from this chain.

Came here for a quick bite to eat over the weekend. I enjoyed the Shakshuka that came with a very tasty charred bread. The Green Scrambled Eggs were good, not a ton of flavor, but it had a side of some type of house made cream sauce which was good. I ordered a fresh pressed juice which didn't have a ton of flavor, likely would not order again but I did enjoy my iced latte. The workers on the restaurant side were super friendly and attentive. The workers on the smoothie side were increasingly unhelpful and solely relied on customers using their automated ordering kiosk.

AMAZING coffee, and of course the view is absolutely spectacular. Right across from the cliffs and sea lions. There was no wait and the place was pretty empty. I didn't try their food but I wish I did. Would go back just for the coffee though.

Came here after a lovely beach day at La Jolla Shores. The location closer to the beach was closed so we came to this location. I'm glad we did because we would not have met Shelby, one of the staff working there. She was so kind, welcoming, patient and friendly. She made our experience a great one. I was pleasantly surprised to see a good variety of gluten free pastries. They even had a gluten free eclair. I got a slice of gf zucchini nut loaf, which was delicious and had a good texture. I also got a gf oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and another slice of the gf zucchini loaf for one of my daughters, who loved them both. I enjoyed my cafe americano. The aesthetics and decor are cute, too, with a birds of a feather theme. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful experience, great service and delectable pastries and coffee!

Really cute cafe that was perfect for my little brunch date! It's pinky, cute, modern and trendy - perfect for instagram if that's what you're looking for.Warning, there's not a lot of seating so I wouldn't rely on staying here to work - I went during the day on a Friday and almost every table was full. You order up at the counter and get a number where they'll bring you your food/drink.I ordered a greek yogurt bowl and a green juice - this was definitely pricey coming in at $30. The bowl wasn't large, but it was fresh and filling. The perfect start to your day or snack inbetween meals. The green juice was also delicious, and I loved that it came in a glass bottle so I could take any leftovers home.If I lived close by, I would definitely frequent here for fresh and healthy food and juice!

fresh organic and delicious smoothies and their mushroom matcha iced coffee definitely worth it's price and staff is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant vibe is super friendly and welcoming thank you

Wow!!! What a find! You know you're likely in for a treat when even the to go cups have a stylish design. Food order was delish with some inspired and uncommon flavor combos. Lots of great options and we're planning a quick return so we can sample some more of their dishes while on vacation. The French omelette sandwich is definitely recommended as is their basic avocado toast. Excellent cold brew and it's always a plus when there is an unsweetened nondairy option for creamers. Order was 100% for accuracy. Highly recommended.
