"This is a wonderful small cafe. Everything surprised us. We came here in the morning of Christmas Day. The place was packed with people. We waited in the queue for about 15 minutes before placing our orders. My wife ordered morning burrito and I ordered eggs and smoked salmon. The food was so delicious. My wife loves her hearty burrito, made from soft spinach wrap with scrambled eggs, bacon and potato cubes inside, with a cup of hot Latte. Mine came in 3 sunny-side-up eggs, fresh smoke salmon, grilled asparagus and slices of avocado with a large piece of sourdough bread toast and a cup of English Breakfast Tea. Honestly we had a most delicious breakfast here in the year. The servers were nice but not over friendly. They did everything right. The place was crowded but they cleaned your table quickly before the mess over your table for too long. The other thing we loved was the price. It turned out it was cheaper than that of New York’s where we came from. I strongly recommend this cafe to everyone who happens to be in La Jolla Cove. Thumbs up!"

"I enjoyed every bit of my meal…The salads are super fresh and crisp, and the tofu is always made to perfection. The Parakeet salad is amazing and Greens and Grains is nutritious and healthy. Each time I go there, it’s consistent eating, which I appreciate. Parking is brutal so make sure you’re not so hungry when you want to go here….You’ll be circling around a bit until finding a good spot, but this place is worth the hunt! Enjoy!!!"

"Such a cute place I’m always fond of French style and food type. Always order the Matcha latte no syrup love it. The food so far is great. Chicken wrap was recommended by the sweet girl at the cashier. Hope you stay open later. Love the coffee too"

"I came to Parakeet for the first time today to enjoy a beverage and some time in La Jolla, and I can say, this place is something special. The customer service was excellent—everyone was so welcoming and attentive, and it really made the experience stand out. I tried both the turmeric latte and the matcha latte, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. My barista, Addison, went above and beyond with incredible latte art and such a kind, genuine attitude. You can tell there’s real care put into every drink here. I’ll definitely be back!"

"It was a bit cramped inside but they did have a relatively large restroom with a diaper change board. The almond croissant was completely soft and not crispy after warmed up… the first time in my life I got a soft croissant in a cafe after heated up. Very disappointed."
