    Coconut acai bowl
    Conrad R.

    Erin was super nice. She greeted us with a big smile and she was very accommodating. My kid spilled their yogurt and she was Johnny on the spot with a side cup of froyo without hesitatation!

    This place is great. It was my first time here today. 2026. Serfass was great. The ambience and I will be back soon.

    High quality soft serve and yogurt served up high. There weren't too many options but there usually is a base tart yogurt, salted caramel, chocolate, peanut butter, and seasonal fruit mix. There were also prepackaged containers of sorbet and oreo cookie sandwiches in a freezer near the front. The toppings were neatly organized although the selection was simpler than others. The toppings were on the expensive side, costing $1.25 for mini and $2.25 for regular. The ratio skews heavily on the yogurt so I don't find the toppings to be worth the extra cost. *Salted Caramel: classic and consistently good. Very creamy and rich with subtle saltiness at the end. *Passionfruit Guava: a more tart and refreshing option. The guava was very pronounced. This was the perfect balance of sour and sweet. *Raspberry: rarely do I find berry flavored items to have such an umph. This had such a good body and fruitiness that it ranks highly in my world of sorbets. *Strawberry Lemonade: the sweet strawberry complemented the sour lemon base very well. It quenched our thirst from the rising heat. The employees make the prettiest swirls and even the mini is piled up high. I find the mini portion to be just right although the regular is great for trying multiple flavors.

    Clean spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Our ice cream was really good and all of the fruit toppings were very fresh. The gentleman working was very kind. Three of us got fro-yo and one of us got an açai bowl! It was all really good. The açai bowl was incredible! We want to go back and try the other flavors. They also have cookies and Dubai chocolate bars up by the register.

    Never had Golden Spoon until now, but I like the concept of a shop that offers soft serve, sorbet, and frozen yogurt all in one. I am a froyo lover and came across Golden Spoon while I was in the area. It was different experience than going to a self-serve place for froyo, but the girl swirled our small cups to the top, so generously! I enjoyed my tart flavor and their strawberry as well, and I would have preferred that one actually. They have a handful of toppings that you would desire. The spoons are golden like the name of the shop. It's pretty standard, but the variety of options for frozen treat is a nice option to have for dessert in La Mesa.

    Great quality, great quantity, great value. Came here in for a late night sweet treat with my girlfriend upon her recommendation. This frozen yogurt shop offers a small variety of flavors with great quality. They also offer a lot of toppings. Unlike other frozen yogurt shops, they don't charge by weight and they offer fixed sizes. We ended up getting strawberry shortcake and tart with some peanut and rainbow sprinke toppings. They offer a very generous amount of toppings which I was very pleased with. The gal working over the counter was also very patient with letting us try different flavors. There isn't too much seating available at this shop with maybe 4-5 tables indoors and 2-4 tables outside. Definitely more than enough for a small party to grab a quick sweet treat and go on about their day.

    The frozen yogurt was tasty. It's a clean and quiet shop. The young lady who helped me was very nice and informative when I had a couple questions. The reason I took off a star was because it is a bit pricey for what you get. I got the mini for $4.50. Toppings are not included, but they have plenty of options. Worth a visit.

    Smallest size is enough if you want a portion equal to one scoop.

    Yogurt was delicious, good selection and toppings. Staff was very friendly too. Tasted fresh.

    Strawberry shortcake
    Maya H.

    If you live or drive past La Mesa, don't forget to stop by. The frozen yogurt here is sooo good! It is addicting. I tried the strawberry shortcake with mochi and popping boba, which they put in the middle. It's so good and has the right amount of sweetness. The service is amazing!! They are friendly and let you try some flavors. The place is quiet with seating inside and out. We opted for outdoor seating because of our doggo and also the nice breeze. 10/10 will come back to get more of the strawberry shortcake. The flavors do rotate, so get in before they change.

    Mini raspberry

    The hubby and I had no idea Golden Spoon was in our backyard until we drove by it one night. We were thrilled knowing it's a quick drive away to indulge in a cup of sweet delicious frozen yogurt. There was a line out the door when we arrived, so we knew this location had to be good. The employees could not have been any nicer, we're very cheerful and bubbly. My husband ordered a cup with strawberry shortcake on one side and banana cream pie on the other. Both were mellow flavors that reminded us of our childhood. I ordered a cup of raspberry and made my husband jealous because it was delicious, tangy, and tasted so good. The serving sizes are very generous and they have a wide selection of toppings to choose from. They have rotating flavors along with their standard classics. They also serve shakes, sundaes, and acai bowls.

    Regular Size -$6.50 Flavors: Chocolate, Toasted Marshmallow, and Peanut Butter
    Cadence D.

    Top notch! The girl working was very nice and helpful! They have really good flavors in the ice cream was so good. It was great because they do it by size and you don't have to pay by ounce. We got the regular size and she really filled it up. the toasted marshmallow was soooo delish! The have a little bit of indoor and outdoor seating. Recommend.

    Chocolate and cookies & cream
    Evelyn D.

    After wanting to try this spot forever, I finally came by with my husband! We both got chocolate, he got cookies & cream and I got peanut butter too. Everything was delicious! Portions were very generous too! The girl who helped us was very nice also! Cant wait to come back with my kiddo.

    I searched up best coffee in La Mesa, picked the first recommended place, and am happy I did so…read more I just moved to San Diego from San Francisco and found myself in La Mesa applying for jobs. I needed a quick coffee to end my day and after searching the best coffee in La Mesa, Red White and Badass Brew was the first to pop up. The owner was super nice-I didn't get his name-and he walked with me through the menu as I haven't had specialty coffee drinks like these before. I went with his recommendation of the whiskey latte (iced) and also decided to try the toasted tan lines (iced) When I tell you, my first sip transported me back to the 2013-2016 era of coffee culture when specialty drinks were first starting to get popular, I am being so serious. Both the whiskey latte and toasted tan lines were full of so much flavor. The toasted tan lines took me straight back to my trip to Kauai in 2013 and the whiskey latte was reminiscent of a latte I would get in middle school from a Brazilian small business. There was just something so nostalgic about these lattes that I had to immediately write a review. So many coffee shops lack the flavor of the 2010s before companies cut corners and scraped for our pennies, but not here Thanks for the coffee!

My partner got the horchata matcha with extra matcha. Even my drink at half sweet was too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable. Not a strong banana flavor though. More caramel forward. My partner loved his drink but did say it was more horchata than matcha.

Both were amazing, I've never had a vegan concha and don't think I'll be going back to regular ones!
