Parakeet Café

Service - 5/5 : quick and efficient. order came out quick and anything we needed was taken care of quickly. we sat outside so to not be "forgotten" was really nice. Food - 5/5 : definitely coming back! No seed oils? YES PLS! So many places have gross seed oils so to find a diamond in the rough is amazing!

One of the best oat latte I have had so far. If you like nutty flavor coffee, this is one place you should try. Lovely pink cup, verying inviting.

A perfect spot for brunch place! Outside patio in the sun and that weekend vibe! Two friends and I came to this place on Sunday. Ordered Shakshouka, squah soup, breakfast burrito, and parajeet bowl. Each food tasted healthy, delicious, and fresh. Also got iced Americano, iced mint macha, and latte. They have free homemade almond milk, which I didn't personally like that much! But they don't charge extra for almond milk, so it's worth trying. We were all extremely happy with our foods and drinks. All staff was so nice.

Food here is healthy and hearty. Patio is very nice with shady areas much needed during summer. I'd say it's a bit pricey even for Del Mar but if you are looking for healthy options it's worth it! It's order at the counter, take a number, and server will bring your food. Good for kids and pups, too.

Super cute spot with really good vegan or vegetarian options for a group of people! Staff was nice and attentive, a lot of space for sitting outside, not as much seating inside.

The food I ordered this time is better than last time~ it is power bowl, with scrambled egg. I love the yogurt and cauliflower, as well as the mushrooms in it. It's tasty!

Trying to keep it real. I loved the breakfast burrito a few days ago so got it tonight (breakfast for dinner!)... but the egg inside was overcooked and dry. So it was not nearly as good as the other day. So sometimes this place is great and sometimes less great. But overall I still like it and will keep trying different things.

I DO wonder how they make their matcha lattes ... everything is pre-mixed and poured out of a bottle... I'm not used to that. Even though the matcha latte was ok enough .. I would drink .. I prefer to see the mixing of the powder in hot water and then the rest of the drink commences after that to get it to be chilled , iced and in milk.

My first and likely only visit to Parakeet Cafe in One Paseo was disappointing. My husband and I were looking forward to a casual dining experience on Sunday morning and left feeling ripped off and frustrated. Our total bill was $39 without anything to drink for an acai bowl and a breakfast burrito. Yes, they're using quality ingredients but are charging at least $5-6 more for each item and serving it at a smaller volume and without any value added. I was going to order a seasonal latte but refuse to pay $10 for one coffee. The burrito was good, but very small. The acai bowl was underwhelming and seemed to have more granola than acai. The almond butter and fresh raspberries were a nice touch. We started off on the quiet patio only to be overtaken by two separate groups of 10+ kids and their parents, including one woman who kept hovering and waiting for us to leave so she could snatch up another table. I don't think I'll be returning but never want to say never.

Birthday Shaynanigans!!!Wanted to celebrate somewhere local, aesthetically cute, and of course delicious food! Parakeet Cafe came to mind and it was the perfect spot for a birthday lunch meetup. Location/ambiance:Such a cute and trendy little gem in beautiful Del Mar!! Plenty of parking (street or parking structure). Loved the interior and must I say instagram-able! I even took a photo with their infamous wall!There are indoor and outdoor seating but we settled inside instead and it wasn't busy on a Saturday afternoon.Menu:It's an extensive menu and I'm so glad they offer vegan options. The turmeric latte is a winner! I love turmeric so this was a must! I'll have to get their waffles next time because I heard it's delectable and from the photos, beautifully decorated. I do eat with my eyes too and I appreciate the presentation. A bit pricey, but the quality of ingredients and location makes up for it. I hear their desserts on display are scrumptious with gluten-free and vegan options. My friend bought a vegan cookie and gobbled it down! It was that good!All in all, this has been one of my favorite local spots. The convenient location, plenty of parking, friendly staff, healthy and filling menu items, and decor keeps me coming back!
