Parakeet Cafe - La Jolla
927 Silverado St, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into La Jolla's walkable neighborhood, this charming independent cafe punches well above its weight with thoughtfully executed food that spans excellent burgers, vibrant salads, and a killer matcha latte that keeps regulars coming back. The tiny space fills up fast—especially mornings—but locals embrace the cozy, communal vibe and don't seem to mind the wait for quality ingredients and genuine care in every order. It's the kind of spot that surprises you with how good everything is, from the durability of their cups to the freshness of the greens, making it feel less like a grab-and-go and more like a neighborhood gathering place.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Such a cute place I’m always fond of French style and food type. Always order the Matcha latte no syrup love it. The food so far is great. Chicken wrap was recommended by the sweet girl at the cashier. Hope you stay open later. Love the coffee too
I enjoyed every bit of my meal…The salads are super fresh and crisp, and the tofu is always made to perfection. The Parakeet salad is amazing and Greens and Grains is nutritious and healthy. Each time I go there, it’s consistent eating, which I appreciate. Parking is brutal so…
