Comment: I adore Parabola’s coffee and morning baked goods! The owners are very kind and friendly and the espresso is top in the area. I’m sad they moved locations but they are worth chasing, without a doubt.

Comment: Oh my gosh. This coffee shop is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. First off the vibes are immaculate. Good coffee, dogs, beer, and everything you can imagine. They even play planet earth on the TV which brings me serious nostalgia. The service was superb. The one barista, Maiya, treated me like a literal queen and made my coffee taste scrumptious. Would go back immediately.

Comment: This coffee shop is so good! Locally owned and the service and espresso is always consistent and awesome! Lots of seating and a great place to study or hang out with friends. My most recent coffee was made by Maiya and Sophia! They were super nice and made a great latte! Will definitely keep coming back.

Comment: My go-to coffee shop for not overly sweetened drinks. Love their pumpkin spice is more spice than most places and the mocha is more dark chocolate than milk. Sometimes I get the beans for home.Great place to get some work done! It’s open air and is a welcome change when I feel cooped up at home.

Comment: The Chagalatte is very good! I wasnt sure what it was, but the barrista did a great job explaining it (its like a mushroom-based flavored latte that tastes like dark chocolate).They also have vegan (and regular) baked goods. I got the vegan walnut zucchini muffin, which was delicious.

Comment: Parabola Coffee is a real great find. For a while it was rather undiscovered, so I am glad to see that it is starting to gain traction and getting more popular -- I want them to survive! A lot of people now remote work there (including yours truly), but in general everyone is cool, not loud and irritating. Hopefully, they can keep the vibe where it is.

Comment: Great coffee shop/brewery! Came here with my dog to do some remote work, and we were pleasantly surprised that dogs are allowed inside 💕 The coffee is great (had their chagalatte and a cup of decaf) and the chocolate croissant I had with it was delicious. Also! They don’t blast the music, so you don’t have to work with headphones all the time, and it wasn’t too loud for me to take a couple video meetings. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for good vibes, good coffee, fast WiFi, and a dog-friendly environment.

Comment: Parabola is a really wonderful addition to the North Park coffee establishments. The owners (who you often find working behind the counter themselves, though they recently added two new employees) are incredibly knowledgeable about their products and have made great recommendations for which style of their roasted beans would be a good fit for me and my partner. And the coffees and espresso drinks are delicious and have some of the best prices in the neighborhood. They’re located inside Second Chance Brewing, so they typically open those garage-style doors, which makes for plenty of socially distanced indoor/outdoor space to study or work (great WiFi, in my experience!). They even offer bean delivery via scooter if you aren’t comfortable coming into the shop itself yet because of COVID concerns! Highly recommend giving this place a try.

Comment: It’s got everything except good coffee. Location is nice, service friendly, good price, and great vibe. However, the cappuccino was pretty acrid. I think the beans must have been burnt trying to get a darker roast. Also, the milk foam wasn’t mixed with the drink at all and has that big-bubble stiffness you get with cheap steamers. It was very much like a Starbucks cap. There are just too many better options in that area to spend money here

Not just because the most popular coffee in the world is from there but the countless other shops you never hear of or the small family owned shops only locals know. Not only is Parabola Coffee amazing but the story behind it is dope. If you like quality coffee Parabola is it. Order now! You wont be disappointed.
