"I tried their mint matcha latte and it was honestly disgusting. The drink was very sweet. It tasted like like a mixture of grapes + condensed milk and 0% like mint or matcha. It wasn't sour or acidic or anything, but it was so disgusting I had to water it down to make myself feel better about the $8 I spent on it. This might've been the first matcha drink I had to just throw away. It's a cute store though and the cashiers are friendly."

"Parakeet Restaurant has a nice ambiance, but overall the experience was just average. The food was okay—nothing particularly memorable or worth the high prices. For what you pay, you’d expect better quality or more generous portions. The service was fine, not bad but not especially attentive or warm either. One plus is the availability of free parking, which made getting in and out easy. If you’re nearby and curious, it might be worth trying once, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it."

"Parakeet Café at One Paseo is one of my favorite spots for breakfast and brunch. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, with its charming wallpaper and inviting vibe. My go-to is the salmon and eggs (I always ask for poached eggs in this dish) —healthy, balanced, and filling. When I was gluten-free, I loved substituting the toast in that dish with a charcoal waffle, which was also pretty good. Their gluten-free, no-refined-sugar cookies are a must-try—you’d never guess they’re sugar-free! While some dishes haven’t stood out as much, the lattes and other drinks are consistently amazing. A perfect spot for a delicious and healthy meal. Also, I’ve often bumped into friends here, making it feel even more special."

"Went to eat here yesterday and noticed there were a ton of flies all over the food in the pastry display case. I mentioned it to the server and suggested they remove the food and quit selling it. She said she knew the flies were there because the doors to the case broke but didn't really seem interested in doing anything about it. She took out a handheld vacuum about 5 minutes later and vacuumed up all the flies. They continued selling the pastries to people knowing that there had been flies all over them. Will not be returning to this location ever."

"This is by far their best location! We got the best burger ever with potatoes and the healthiest waffle ever. Both were so good I couldn’t slow down to take a picture of the food. Marco was also the nicest and most helpful person ever!"
