Playa Kitchen
San Diego, CA
Fuel for the minds building what’s next
At Playa, we believe great ideas deserve great fuel.
Located on a medical research campus in La Jolla, Playa Kitchen was created for the thinkers, researchers, clinicians, founders and teams building what’s next. Your days move quickly, your work requires focus, and lunch should help keep the momentum going—not slow it down.
This isn’t a loud lunch spot. It’s a thoughtful one.
The menu is fresh, balanced and flavor-forward, with coffee, smoothies, breakfast favorites, salads, bowls, wraps and sandwiches designed to work with your day. Stop in for an espresso between meetings, grab a nourishing bowl before an afternoon presentation or order ahead when your schedule leaves little room to spare.
The space is built for more than a quick bite. Calm interiors, natural light and flexible seating create a comfortable setting for productive lunches, solo resets, working sessions and conversations that deserve more than a conference room. Playa can also accommodate meetings, trainings and team gatherings when it’s time to bring everyone together.
As part of Clique Hospitality’s Southern California portfolio, Playa shows what campus dining can feel like when convenience, quality and thoughtful design all work together. It respects your time, supports your focus and gives you a better place to refuel.
Welcome to your lunch break—upgraded.
