Parakeet Cafe

We came here after Guy Fleming Trail walk in the morning. This place is so unique. Every dish is a piece of art! Very special by design and taste. Really enjoyed it!

During my two-week visit to San Diego, I discovered a cafe called Parakeet while looking for somewhere within walking distance from my Hilton hotel. Normally, I don't eat anything other than coffee in the morning, but after trying their warm, crispy croissant once, I couldn't resist having one every day. I have high expectaions when it comes to latte and croissnats and honestly, I was impressed-which doesn't happen often. The cafe is very spacious, and thanks to the tables with parasols, I always enjoyed my coffee sitting outside. Drinking coffee indoors in San Diego feels like you're wasting perfectly good sunshine. I felt welcomed every morning thanks to the incredibly kind Roderick, and even the restroom in the building was spacious clean-a rare luxury if you're used to the closet-sized ones in New York. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, it was the perfect way to start my day.

Updated review: I really like Parakeet’s menu and the service at this location. Today I’ve ordered a new item for me: Parakeet bowl with an addition of chicken as protein option. It was delicious. My taste buds are still getting used to healthy meals - I just recently stopped eating sugar, and the kale part was an acquired taste, but I loved how balanced my bowl was, how filling and good for me. Previous review: Parakeet cafe is always a great idea for breakfast or lunch! I usually go to the One Paseo location but went to this one the other day, as it’s very close to my work. I loved it- very charming space, they have a beautiful garden there and guests have a choice of sitting indoors and outdoors, including in the garden area - very pleasant. The food was great, the decor and overall vibe very nice, as always, and the employees were super friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my meal there and will be back. My favorite items on the menu are Eggs and Salmon, latte and chocolate chip oat cookies.
