So delicious! We got a quiche and the goat cheese omelette. The quiche is seriously to DIE for they were so flavorful and creamy. I am an avid baker and the baked goods were made to perfection. As for drinks we got a vanilla latte and a chai latte- they were so good. We are always looking for the best cafe in San Diego and this is our new favorite!

Banyan Kitchen catered a recent shoot that I was on as a Teleprompter Operator. I couldn't say for whom I teleprompted because it is a major secret. But I can say that Banyan Kitchen provided wonderful breakfasts, snacks and lunches for two days, including a pistachio-crusted salmon filet with mashed cauliflower and a salad. For dessert, a devastatingly delicious brownie from Bread & Cie. Sometimes it's great to be part of a crew that is treated so well. Thanks to the Banyan Kitchen team, especially Armando, who practiced Covid safety protocols while providing comfort meals to the video team.

The cafe has a beautiful open design that allows for lots of natural light and high ceilings, located in the lobby of a business plaza. Just remember to get your parking validated! I attended a meeting here and enjoyed the food—I had the breakfast croissant and avocado toast, both made with fresh, quality ingredients. The breakfast croissant lacked bacon for the price, I would anticipate more than 2 slices. The almond and chocolate croissants were exceptional; I couldn’t resist buying an almond croissant to take home! It was perfectly flaky, buttery, and soft. The seating areas are very comfortable, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor dining options.

Delicious breakfast. Not a ton of gluten free options but what they did offer was wonderful. I never order yogurt with granola but I took a chance on it. Wow, delicious. I also loved the fresh fruit. It's rare that you see pluots, golden kiwis, and nectarines at restaurants. All of their stuff was really fresh. They put out water bowls for the dogs. The staff were very attentive. We will definitely be returning!

I hosted a wellness event catered with brunch from Banyan Kitchen, and they did not disappoint! My guests absolutely loved every item on the buffet, so much so that there was not a single bite left over! Absolutely remarkable, from the fresh quality to delicious preparation of each item cooked to perfection. Grateful for the kind service! We will definitely book again for future events!
