Parakeet Cafe is a cozy and popular spot with a great selection of tasty dishes and drinks. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is perfect for enjoying fresh air while you eat.
The menu is very diverse, offering delicious breakfast and lunch options. You can find items like avocado toast, mushroom toast, scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, and various bowls like the superfood bowl and Parakeet bowl. They also have fresh pastries, like croissants and waffles, and options for those with dietary preferences – there are gluten-free, vegan, and keto-friendly choices.
The drinks menu is just as impressive, with coffee choices from classic drip to unique signature lattes, along with matcha and tea options. They also have wellness lattes with superfoods, like the Magic Mushroom Matcha, and fresh smoothies with ingredients like berries, fruits, and greens. You can customize drinks with organic syrups and a variety of milk options.
The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. It’s a popular spot, especially around noon on weekends, so there can be a bit of a line, but that just shows how in-demand this cafe is. The staff is very friendly and attentive, making sure everyone feels welcomed and taken care of.
Some tips: to avoid the busiest times, come either before noon or a bit later. Definitely try one of the wellness lattes or smoothies, as they offer flavors you won’t find elsewhere. The outdoor seating is a great option if you enjoy dining in fresh air.
Overall, Parakeet Cafe is a fantastic place for anyone who loves tasty, healthy food. It’s perfect for a full breakfast or lunch, or even just a coffee break.

As a bird owner, I was so excited to try the cafe because of the name & atmosphere. I instantly loved the cozy, nature-inspired vibe at Parakeet Café! The truffle toast with scrambled eggs was delicious, and adding avocado made it perfect. Highly recommend for a breakfast or brunch lovers and café. Definitely going back to try more next time. I’m in town.

We had the charcoal waffle and avocado toast. The waffle was so good - great balance of sweetness from the toppings and syrup and a little bitterness from the charcoal in the waffle. Overall a really delicious dish! I appreciate that they have lots of vegan options!!

Exciting new place in town! The coffee is fabulous, the food is healthy and unique with a special twist. We tried the smoke salmon and egg and the labne yogurt dill spread was out of this world delicious. Their croissant was super tender and fresh. The kids absolutely loved their Belgian waffles, specially with their awesome whip cream on top. We went when it was super busy for brunch on a Sunday, so the service could have been better. For example we had to ask for utensils multiple times and they were in a rush to take the table back so kept coming every 2 mins to clean out our table. The atmosphere is a little chaotic and fast paced. But overall a fabulous brunch cafe.

The 3 of us ordered the Chicken Sandwich with Tomato Relish which we all agreed was horrific and will never go back.

First time here - will not be our last. Not sure how we missed it before. Ate the acai bowl and husband had the grilled chicken sandwich. I don't want to admit how many GF and regular baked goods we brought home!
