I absolutely love this place! It’s a bit pricey, but worth every penny. My go-to drink is the vanilla cream cold brew, and every meal I’ve tried has been excellent. I also want to give a special shout-out to Fritz. I stop in at least once a week for my cold brew order, and he’s always on top of everything—fast, attentive, and professional. I truly appreciate the consistent great service every time I walk in. It goes a long way and sets such a positive tone for the rest of my day.

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.

We’ve visited many Parakeet locations and were a bit disappointed with our drinks at this one. The espresso drinks were significantly less strong and too milky tasting and the blueberry muffin only had about four blueberries at the bottom of the muffin. I like that they have healthy options for eating out but consistency among locations is so important. The employees were super nice but this location did not meet our expectations in terms of the food and drink.

I eat here almost weekly. Staff is always friendly and willing to help even during their busiest hours! Food is healthy and delicious. The line can be long on weekends to order but the kitchen is very efficient.
Parakeet is one of my go-to restaurants, highly recommend!

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.

$20 for a tiny eclair and strawberry shortcake. Would of been happy if either of them tasted good. Both were terrible. Waste of $$$

“Parakeet is my absolute favorite spot! I love everything—the food is delicious, the cookies are addictive, and the coffee is just perfect. Everything is made with such care and flavor. It’s always a treat to be there. Highly recommended!”

The coffee was really good and I’m OK paying a little more expensive for that caliber of coffee. The burger was God awful yes it’s my fault for getting a burger from a café, but holy. I bet my four-year-old nephew could make a better burger with Microwave from the 1980s. For $19 I would expect a lot better
