Crema's Take
“Parakeet Cafe is obsessed with clean ingredients in ways most LA brunch spots aren't—their pastries use monk fruit instead of sugar, their hot menu ditches seed oils entirely, and it actually tastes good, not like a health compromise. The outdoor seating is genuinely gorgeous, service is attentive, and prices feel fair, though you'll want to skip the adventurous add-ons like their $8 tofu upgrade. It's the rare spot where health-conscious eating and real flavor don't feel like they're at war.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I personally don’t normally love kale so perhaps this was my own fault, but I was very underwhelmed and the kale was quite overpowering. If you’re looking for ggiata this isn’t it. The avocado toast and the soup were great though according to my friends! We visited right after…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/5 OUTDOOR SEATING: Very good. Tables in front and back but only heaters in front. VEGAN OPTIONS: A lot. (Crazy) PRICE TO “ADD TOFU” TO A DISH: $8.00 (may be the highest I’ve seen anywhere!) PARKING: Competitive meter parking in front or free 2 hour street parking a…
