Coronado Casual Dining Guide
One of the best parts of staying in Coronado is the variety of dining options you have – so many restaurants you’ll visit are sure to offer something unique, homemade, and delicious.
Here are some of our favorite places for casual dining on island; all of these places are family friendly and will have something for everyone to enjoy!
#1 – GARAGE BUONA FORCHETTA
The pastries cannot be missed either- you’ll have your choice between cinnamon rolls, stuffed croissants, and bombolonis, just to name a few!
#2 – PARAKEET CAFE & JUICERY
Walking down Orange Avenue, you’ll probably recognize Parakeet Cafe in a few spots. Close to Walgreens is one of two on-island Parakeet Juicery locations. The second Parakeet Juicery location is connected to Parakeet Cafe at 1134 Orange Avenue. This is the ideal option for health forward food in Coronado! Browsing their menu, you’ll find items ranging from açaí bowls to a grilled chicken burger, as well as their popular Golden Goddess Salad. You can also grab one of their shared plates such as bread and hummus, or chips and guac.
While you’re waiting for your food to come out, try one of the juicery’s delicious smoothies! Try out a “Classic” that blends strawberries, apples, and bananas, or opt for something like a “Dragon Fruit Blast” which includes pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and banana. Their “Fit 4 Life” smoothie is packed with blueberries, almond milk, banana, almond butter, and vanilla protein, perfect for a refreshing post-workout drink. You also have a large variety of juice options to order from! The G3 is made up of kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon, and ginger, while a simpler option such as O2 has grapefruit and mint. However, you’re not restricted to the menu as Parakeet Juicery lets you make your own juice combinations!#3 – NIGHT & DAY CAFE
Early birds can catch Night & Day’s breakfast menu- The Coronado Breakfast Burrito is stuffed with bacon, hash browns, egg, avocado and cheese egg, cheese, carne asada, avocado and salsa fresca. You could also go for one of their omelets; the Denver is made with ham, bell peppers, and onions. And you of course can’t go wrong with pancakes and French toast!
Night & Day also serves up classic BLT, Club, and Turkey and Avocado sandwiches, but you could also opt for their Night & Day Monte Cristo! And if you’re in the mood for a burrito, you’re in the right spot. Choose from Carne Asada, Shredded Beef or Chicken, Bean & Cheese, or one of their specialty burritos. Burgers and Tacos are also served here- so no matter what you’re craving, Night & Day is the perfect spot to pop by!
#4 – VILLAGE PIZZERIA BAYSIDE
You’re definitely not limited to just pizza here. Start off by ordering some appetizers! You can never go wrong with some garlic knots or mozzarella sticks, but don’t shy away from your choice of buffalo, bbq, garlic parmesan, or hot honey wings either! And once you’re ready to order, you can choose between hoagies, heroes, salads, pasta, calzones, and pizza of course. If you have room for more when you’re done, grab some dessert! Mootime Creamery ice cream is sold here, alongside zeppolis, and their special dessert pie “Sweetie Pie”. Village Pizzeria is a local favorite, so don’t skip out on a visit!
