It was so nice to find a place that will do it with tofu instead of egg. I also ordered the Green smoothie. It was very refreshing- you can tell the ingredients (especially the ginger) were blended fresh--not some generic mix. They have a complimentary water station with a seasonal "spa" water. Today's was blueberry lemon and it was a nice touch. They also offer complimentary refills on drip coffee and at the self serve station offer half and half, oat, and almond milk options. The service was very fast and attentive. You order at the counter and they give you a number and serve you at the table. They offered a share plate and extra setting when they noticed it was two of us sharing the really large burrito (that was served in two halves). Only notes: I wish they had larger diameter straws for the smoothies. It was thick (which was awesome), but a little tough to get through the small straw at first. Also, I literally did a loop around the building to find the place. I felt so silly after because I didn't look up. lol. When you get to the end of the circle, look up and it is on the corner of the building on the right (nearest the street).

They were nice and fluffy. The sourdough toast was also so good!! I rarely eat my bread side but this one was a must eat! The breakfast burrito with bacon was also great with fluffy eggs inside. The crispy home potatoes inside also added to the taste. The outside of the tortilla was also nice and grilled for a crunchy exterior. The salsa was homemade and had a nice spice. The outdoor area was very clean and spacious. With various types of table tops and chairs, including low seating options. The barista/ employee was also friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return to try more items or just to hang out. Very relaxing environment!

The cafe is located inside, place your order and they call you when ready. Or you can order online at: https://biomedrealty.aramarkcafe.com If you prefer to sit inside there is a smartly coordinated seating area. Straws, napkins, plastic utensils, salad dressing and sugar packets are located far left of the front counter. First visit was for lunch I ordered a cold brewed coffee and a personal size sausage pizza. My coffee came with caramel flavoring and almond milk, but no sweetener. I asked after I tasted it but alas I had to sweeten it myself. If it was a hot coffee no problem. But since mine was cold sweetener does not mix so well. Next visit I'll order a different coffee drink with sweetener (if possible) as I don't like black coffee. My pizza tasted good, sausage was flavorful, crust was warm and fluffy except for one small portion got cooked a bit too long causing it to harden. Overall a very good pizza. Next visit I'm gonna try a breakfast item. Second visit I arrived early for breakfast. I inquired about the addition of sugar to any coffee they serve. The nice lady at the counter said they do not add sugar, only the listed flavorings for sweetness. My breakfast order was the ham & Swiss croissant with a diet Dr Pepper. The croissant was light, fluffy and tasted good with the ham & Swiss. Overall a pleasant experience.

Playa Kitchen is a new restaurant amongst the life science companies in Torrey Pines Science Park…read more I have seen several of these establishments pop up in various industrial complexes across the county. This one happens to not be far from the entry to Torrey Pines Golf Club on the other side of the road. Several dedicated parking spaces were across the driveway in front of an office building. Plenty of outside tables were available including a set along the sidewalk with terrific views. The inside dining room had an open-air atmosphere allowing sunlight and the breezes to flow in. Four menu boards were posted behind the service counter. Beverages were listed on the far left panel, breakfast and light plates were on the middle left, wraps and sandwiches were on the middle right, and bowls were displayed on the far right panel. From the last category, I picked the Soba Noodle Salad which was the bottom choice of the six varieties. Chilled soba noodles were mixed with cabbage, carrots, beets, cucumber, edamame, green onion, and crispy tofu. A peanut sauce was applied as a dressing. What I liked the best was the four pieces of tofu because the crispiness added texture to the salad. The noodles were buried underneath the other ingredients while the sauce was savory but almost too salty. Workers at the nearby buildings have this great spot to now hang out and collaborate over food and drink. The prices aren't cheap, but the convenience and good quality cannot be overstated. I gave a four star rating for my lunch at Playa Kitchen.

It is tucked inside a business complex and not super obvious at first. You kind of have to go toward the roundabout and it is on the right side. I definitely circled for a second like wait where is this place. Parking is a little iffy too but they do have two designated spots if you can grab one. But once you find it, it is actually such a cute spot. The vibe is really chill, not over the top, just a nice little place to sit and decompress. It feels like a hidden gem which I kind of love. I went on a Wednesday and they had a buy a drink get a pastry free deal which already sold me. And the pastries are actually so good. Like not just cute good, actually good. The empanadas did not disappoint at all. Coffee was solid, everything felt fresh, and the whole place just has a nice calm energy. It is the kind of spot you go to after an appointment or when you just need a minute to yourself. I would definitely come back, now that I actually know where it is. Just be prepared to hunt for it a little the first time and maybe get lucky with parking.
