    They have water and other drinks 1-2026

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Peanut butter & blackberry

    Best yogurt in town. We drive 15 minutes to go because it's the best. People are always nice and most importantly the frozen yogurt is delicious.

    Melted ice cream. Hadn't even taken a bite yet, just walked to my car and took a pic.
    Jaye L.

    Not all Golden Spoon's are created equal and this particular location is not up to par. I ordered a mini with two flavors and instead of the employee putting them in the cup next to each other she put one on the bottom and the other on the top. I realized after she gave it to me that she did this because the ice cream was not firm enough to stand up on its own in the cup. It would have been nice if her to communicate to me that my choice was not quite ready to be served and given me the option to change flavors instead of just putting melted ice cream in the bottom of my cup and semi melted ice cream on top of it. The picture I've included shows my ice cream before I even had a chance to take a bite. I walked to my car and took the photo--melted. I've had great experiences at other Golden Spoons, but unfortunately this one wasn't good.

    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 had also gotten a bagel with cream cheese which I don't believe was toasted and would say that was the only downside but the delicious amount of cream cheese definitely helped.

So much space, friendly staff, reasonable prices, with a bunch of gluten-free and vegan options when it comes to food. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating as well, and even when they were busy, I think I did not wait more than five minutes for my drink. I chose to use their honey syrup instead of regular honey, and was not disappointed with my iced oatmilk latte also, I have to point out something you don't typically see at a lot of coffee shops.
