First time for us visiting this new cafe in the crystal cove shopping center. This cafe is right next to bear flag that is very popular. We went there around 1 on 4th of July and the place was bustling. Ordered the breakfast burritos ($16) and their grain bowl that comes with farro quinoa sweet potatoes kale and cucumber. Both were very tasty. The breakfast burritos has labneh in it which makes it very moist and soft. Very tasty. The grain bowl was also put together nicely and tasted good. We had a great service up front with Pasha and also the other server was super nice and happy. We sat outside that on a sunny day with a nice ocean breeze makes it feel like life can't get any better.

I love Parakeet cafe! Mari and her staff are always so friendly and welcoming and really make you feel at home. Special shout out to Megan, Isabella, Damian, Mariano, Vlad, Sebastian, Pasha, and anyone else I missed!

Excellent food and service...will definitely recommend to friends...in LA and Orange County Ca.

It's been weeks and I'm still obsessed with the All I AVO Wanted breakfast! It had a delicious, fresh blue corn waffle with avocado and I added an extra egg on top for extra protein! This is the breakfast of my dreams! Great selection of fresh pastries and fresh juices in the morning - They sell out of the good stuff around lunchtime. Excellent coffee, tea and other items from the barista! Go check out the Blue Waffle! You won't be disappointed.

Such a cute cafe! Would have loved to spent more time here but had to take my food on the road. If I lived closer, I would definitely work from here. There is plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). While there, the staff were very kind and friendly. Now let me tell you about this Surfer Burrito...WOW! I wish more places put broccoli in their burritos because this was fantastic. I got my burrito fill while also getting veggies in - best of both worlds. The flavor was awesome and the portion was huge. I saved half the burrito for lunch and was full until dinner. I stopped by after a 5K race at Crystal Cove and I'm so happy I did!

We visited Parakeet Cafe on Saturday afternoon. The reason we stayed there is because the desserts looked so attractive to me. So, I just walked inside and ordered their Zucchini Bread (gluten-free) and Blueberry Croissant (gluten-free) with a Cappuccino ($5.5). They were so yummy and also felt healthy. Parakeet Cafe has a very open spacing with a high ceiling, which makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed to sit there. After my afternoon tea time, I decided to stay a little longer for dinner since they offer dinner as well. We ordered the Best Burger Ever ($23), which was so delicious. The owner was so nice; she provided us with a complementary cup of wine to pair. She is right, it made it even better with wine! You must order this. The Chicken Caesar Wrap ($20) was also very good and healthy. The Chicken Noodle Soup ($12) was good; the noodles inside were long, like some of the noodles you find in Chinese restaurants, which was very special. We really enjoyed our time at Parakeet Cafe. They close at 7 pm, and we actually stayed there the whole afternoon and didn't even realize it was their closing time. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends

Food is good and some spin to it. Must be healthy. But in this case, good. They serve up coffee with medium to dark roast from Guatemala and a couple more places. They do have their own roastery so this can only spell coffee quality? I had the salted caramel latte and it was good and smooth. Service - they are on top of things here. Fast and friendly. Ambiance - loaded with folks especially around the breakfast and lunch brunch time. Decent amount of seating indoors and some more outdoors.
