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.

Think of an elevated 7-Eleven and quality of food was just OK. I just under seven dollars I got four potato wedges and it was quite dry and the flavor was not really there.

If you come here just don't have high expectations for food I hear the drinks are also just OK so overall it's worth , the ambience and the service was nice. Overall the food made it lose the stars.

Upon arriving mid morning, there were only 2-3 customers. This was perfect! I ordered a caramel macchiato and picked up an egg salad croissant breakfast sandwich from the refrigerated case. The woman who works here is very customer service oriented. She is patient and kind and always very respectable to her customers. I asked her a question about the events and she told me that they always have a monthly event calendar that list their specials in any of the highlights that they are having for the month. I noticed that they had an ice cream social the second Tuesday of August. She told me that the September calendar would be posted tomorrow on September 1st. I'm so happy that I visited this place today. My egg salad croissant sando was good. It had a lot of flavor in the croissant freshness was decent. My caramel macchiato was delicious. I will surely be back to check out their calendar for the month of September. Thanks!

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.

It's a good place to work or read silently although I didn't see any WiFi offered. Credit card accepted. Plenty of parking.

It's also referred to as The Loft and can be found on the second floor of Price Center. The location itself is great, and it's a nice moderate-volume establishment with decent views and cozy decor. The staff is super chill and helpful, and they're very efficient given how few of them there are. The prices are pretty fair, and their menu's got great variety food and drink-wise. I usually grab an iced chai latte from here, and it's a pretty solid mix. As for food, my staple used to be the lamb burger, and I wholeheartedly recommend it! The patty is cooked perfectly, paired with a nice brioche bun and the yogurt sauce, pickled cucumbers and onions? Super solid. Since switching to my pescatarian lifestyle, I've been ordering the fish tacos, which are a great serving size and pretty solid in terms of taste. The shrimp tacos are also pretty good, but there's something about the chipotle cream in the former that's got me hooked. Their carnitas taco is also good, but I'd recommend the seafood ones over it. Nonetheless, they do do taco Tuesdays and happy hour deals for the tacos! The side of fries is also a must for me, and I actually find them to be really good (I'm a fan of thinner cut fries, and I'll usually ask for them to be cooked well). The lobster roll is also another recommended pick, especially since it's so affordable for a lobster roll and it's packed with lots of meat without any overwhelming flavor. I'm just such a fan of the vibe and atmosphere of this place, and they're always playing really solid music. It's a nice place to be for solid food and background noise while you do work in a lively setting.

I ordered the turkey club and it was decent. A classic sandwich but not too thick or big and the bread was dry and crumbly. The fries were pretty good and flavorful. I also had a strawberry matcha latte but it just tasted like strawberry milk. Very sweet and milky with no matcha taste at all. Just from looking at the color I already knew. Definitely do not get the matcha.
