I must confess. This was a Plan B visit. We were originally going to another place to get a free froyo for the unofficial National Frozen Yogurt Day. After picking up Daughter from school and driving past the ridiculously long line of customers out the frozen yogurt store's door, I muttered something inappropriate then pulled over to check the handy dandy search app for the next nearest frozen yogurt location. Parking was a breeze at the strip mall and it wasn't busy at all. Just us and the cheerful gal behind the counter. Mini-me picked strawberry plus some toppings. I was feelin' kinda sorbet, so strawberry-kiwi flavor for me. The gal did her froyo artistry and also asked if Mini-me preferred the pink colored gummy frog from the array of available toppings. Approved. I think my kid liked the sorbet better since she spun the cup around leaving the mostly strawberry froyo side to me. Other notables: free yogurt stamp card and a yelp check-in 10% discount with minimum $5 purchase. Note to self: I need to remember to bring hair ties next time to keep Mini-me's locks from the froyo treatment. read more

Toppings are expensive and they do NOT display prices on their menu! Alright, now we can continue with the rest of the review. I came here before a doctors appointment one day. Parking lot is pretty much always bare since there isn't a lot of big name stores around here other than the Vons right around the corner. I read the description of this place before coming in. Saying they served ice cream and yogurt. When I came inside though there was no indication of what they really served. I asked the girl behind the counter if they sold ice cream of frozen yogurt. "Well.." she started. "It's ice cream that's been lowered in sugar and fat. It's kinda like gelato? If that makes sense?" It didn't, but that didn't worry me. I ordered the regular size cup with peanut butter ice cream with strawberry toppings. When I checked in yelp, it gave me a free one topping coupon which I used. The girl said, "Okay so the one topping is $1.50... oh wait, duh, you got the free topping on yelp!" 1.50 for a topping?! No wonder they don't post the prices. That's so high! Normally to fill up a frozen yogurt at a normal establishment with a lot of frozen yogurt and millions of toppings it generally comes out to $5 and some change. Here for a small "normal" cup and one topping (even with my free topping coupon) it came out to $4.75! Which meant if I didn't have the free topping from yelp this would have come up to $6.25! That's high! The peanut butter ice cream was good but a little off. It tasted like a creamer version of frozen yogurt with a milk after taste. Odd I agree. Parking is great, service was phenomenal, I don't know the name of the associate that helped me but she was a younger girl which a short bob haircut and a Monroe piercing. Ice cream is good but weird at the same time and the prices are ridiculous. I looked up on older photos of the menu from yelp and they USE TO display the prices of toppings. Guess they realized that the only way to get people to pay those prices are to trick them into finding out once they've already made their order. No thank you. I can't support a company that would hide things from customers. Thank you, next next! read more

Golden Spoon La Mesa - Peanut butter with strawberry topping - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

Have not been to Golden Spoon in a while. Fortunately, a Groupon deal brought me here and it appears nothing has changed... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The deal I purchased included a $20 gift card and two quarts of frozen yogurt. The shop is cute and the young lady helping us was nice. I was however, a little disappointed when she explained that the quarts of frozen yogurt included would strictly come from their premade batches in the freezer. So if you were coming in looking for a specific flavor, then you better hope they have it premade because they won't make one fresh for you. Kind of a bummer especially when the fine print on the groupon did not specify that. I do have to say that I was impressed with the flavors of the Cafe Latte and Just Chocolate. It was very rich and creamy. Despite being dated a couple of days old, it still tasted fresh. read more

I needed a hero, and Eddie was it! I'm a third grade teacher here in La Mesa, and I came in asking for a couple of awards to recognize my students' achievements this year. Eddie came out with a pile of award certificates! I had already been to a competitor's yogurt shop, and they told me they couldn't even give me one. Thank you Eddie for making my students so happy! Hopefully you'll get lots of new customers! Your generosity is very much appreciated. read more

Best Fro Yo I've ever tried !! They have sweetest and best customer service. You will see welcoming and smiley faces all the time. They have fresh and good amount topics I can't help saying , their Cookie Fix with homemade cookies is my go to read more

I love this place! I've been a Golden Spoon customer for years and I don't hesitate to stop by every time I see one! I was welcomed with a big & sincere smile and friendly customer service as soon as I walked in! I was thrilled to see their banana flavor (huge fan) and what's even better is their "banana & strawberry swirl". The flavors took me back to my childhood immediately and I left the store with a big smile on my face! That's why I decided to drop a quick review. Thank you guys for a good business! I'll be back read more

I love their frozen yogurt. It has a natural taste with great flavors and toppings. Their staff is friendly and helpful. I love the place and will go there again. read more

Always so yummy! They are the sweetest, we love coming here for our froyo! It's super convenient, and we love to get their acai bowls for breakfast too! read more

The yogurt was delicious! I loved the fact that the yogurt didn't melt quickly. I will definitely will get yogurt here again.

Super friendly and explained all the flavors and options. Busy on a Saturday night but did not take long to get my ice cream.

Save your money and go to a fill your own cup yogurt place or even yogurt mill if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg for a small amount of yogurt and measly amount of toppings. read more

We love Golden Spoon-La Mesa. When I lived in La Mesa I went at least once a week because the flavors changed constantly and the service was fast and friendly. When I moved to a different state, I was sad to find out there was no Golden Spoon in my town. I make a point that every time I go home to La Mesa that I stop by this location to get some delicious frozen yogurt. While the store is small, there is outdoor and indoor seating perfect for those summer nights. Golden Spoon serves items other than frozen yogurt but the menu changes so you'll have to stop in to see what's new. read more

Best Fro Yo around, and way better customer service than any other place in the area. They always treat my kids to way more than what we paid for and are so kind! read more

This place is amazing. I love to go there after my lake murray runs as a treat. Its super close. Last time i got large Original Acai Bowl (16oz) and it was incredible. Topping was layered perfect so it didnt turned into just acai in the end. Staff was so nice and helpful. Going there makes me happy read more

The service is really fast and the staff is very friendly. They change their sorbet flavor every once in a while and it's usually the dairy free option which is good to have. you can customize their sundae options, my personal favorite so far is joy of almond but with salted caramel flavor. strongly recommended read more

Golden Spoon La Mesa - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

They are the best by far.. owners are super friendly, and their belgium chocolate is a MUST.

Was pretty disappointed with this place. We went to get yogurt tonight and got charged $14 for 2 regulars (the second smallest size) with toppings. Other golden spoons would have priced this at $4.45 per yogurt. They did not have a normal golden spoon price menu up but drew theirs on a chalk board. The vanilla yogurt tasted like frozen cool whip. The server wasnt very welcoming when we walked in she was sitting at a table, eating yogurt across from what appeared to be her boyfriend. We didn't even get offered their signature golden spoon. Bottom line we were overcharged for mediocre yogurt and left upset. The kitchen tiles are 4 inches for reference. read more

Golden Spoon La Mesa - two cups of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

I absolutely loved their peanut butter flavored flavor , super friendly staff . This was my first time coming here , will definitely be back . read more

I'm glad we came in. The service was fabulous and the frozen yogurt was delicious. We will be back again.

They get 5 stars for service thought! The girl that helped me was super sweet and offered samples upon arrival and was very helpful. I got the mini size which is pretty mini but I didn't want that much anyways. The toppings are additional and for the mini it was .50 for two toppings. Now since the mini is so small it's kind of hard to even get very much toppings on it to begin with. I got the vanilla froyo which was good but I'm glad I got the mini because it was pretty sweet. I'm a big fan of Pinkberry so maybe I'm just used to theirs. Overall I felt like this place was okay. I wasn't really impressed especially with all the other froyo options out there. read more

Golden Spoon La Mesa - Vanilla froyo with coconut and yogurt chips - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

I love this golden spoon and all of the workers are super friendly. My reason for taking away a star is because there is never plain tart available and to me that is a golden spoon speciality. I also think it would nice if they spruce up the chalk board a little with new lettering. Overall I'm still going to come back, I just would love to see it get some TLC and have plain tart consistently. read more

After a long walk at Lake Murray we were craving an icecream/yogurt and got to try Golden Spoon today. It was literally the best frozen yogurt we have had in SD! (Nothing like Munchies or Yogurtland!) I should also note that service was excellent ; they were very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended read more

This place is my favorite frozen yogurt place in the area. Their frozen yogurt is delicious and toppings are always so fresh. Belgium chocolate is the best taste ever for chocolate lovers. Clean interior, Friendly staff, Higly recommended!! read more

Customer service was friendly but the frozen yogurt just didn't taste that good. It tasted like water and sugar, and I like it to taste more creamy like soft serve. This is the '90s low fat kind of frozen yogurt, not the newer creamy tasting kind of soft serve. Price is too high for what you get, which is mostly water and sugar. read more

Highly recommended! Belgian chocolate flavor and almond toppings are the best. My chocolate craving took me here. And the owners are super nice and friendly people. We found our favorite ice cream shop! read more

I went there to taste their delicious frozen yoghurt with tons of toppings last weekend. These guys were amazing. The products they used were so fresh. I could not find the taste of their frozen yoghurt anywhere else. I highly recommend this place! read more

This is my family's FAVORITE and ONLY place we go!!! The new owners are amazing, the quality of the yogurt is exceptional and they always make us feel welcome!! read more

Great frozen yogurt choices. Highly professional and friendly owners. Gotta try all flavors they've got. Peanut butter rocks !

I'm surprised this place still exists lol. I showed up and nobody was there. Two employees proceeded to take my order, although they both seemed like they had something better to do. I was going to ask a quick question 5 seconds after ordering, but by then they were both long gone. read more

This place is delicious my husband and I love their Sundaes and flavors available. It's clean adorable and has a very friendly staff. Each time we've gone we've been able to substitute things and they do this wonderful thing where they put the toppings on the inside of the ice cream... then put more fro yo on top. Great place! read more

First time i tried their froyo and i am sure it wont be last time. Highly recomended Stuff is very friendly and kind , thanks again

Friendly staff when you walk in, nice music playing, it's a great place to swing by and get some froyo. I got an Oreo shake this time and it was so ooo tasty! Lots of Oreos in there you can tell!! read more

We used to come here all the time, but in the 2+ yrs since then I've been indoctrinated into the cult of Yogurtland where you can do your own toppings. Here you have to tell the worker which toppings you want,which might be more sanitary but takes longer. I don't know if it's more expensive or not; I think they're about the same. The way the toppings work is...well, I'm still not sure. The menu says "regular" or "mini" for 99 cents or 55 cents, and the lady said with the regular you get 3 scoops (I think) and the mini is less. So my kids got to select 3 toppings for the "regular'. It confused me and obviously still does. For two regulars and one mini yogurt (mini with mini toppings) it was $11 plus change. No tart here, which is my favorite, but I got the chocolate and peanut butter. The mini was plenty for me. The regulars have a huge "mountain" on top. There's also a sign that says if you're eating in you get charged tax. I guess we were charged that too because we ate in. This is why I saw people eating in their cars just outside. read more

Once again our friend yigit found the best froyo spot in town and told us about it ! Owners are amazing and quite friendly! Their toppics were fresh and good quality! Looks like we will be regular for the place read more

mouth watering goodness !! I'd definitely go back to try another Ice cream combo and their cookies.. the waffle cone was so perfect, not too heavy, light and crisp with a not too sweet flavor. Will be back to try another ice cream combo! read more

Golden Spoon La Mesa - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Mesa, California

Pretty awesome Golden Spoon. Good flavors and good service. Golden spoon has really good creamy yogurt. Many different flavors. Calories are listed for each flavor. Parking lot in strip mall. Wish they were open later for those few times I anted yogurt past 930......but, this IS San Diego! I wish Golden Spoon as a brand had a SF choice. read more

So I finally fell into the cult following of frozen yogurt! I went to Golden Spoon by accident....I was walking out of the store buying some doggie food and they were giving out free samples outside of the store...and well I had to try it and I was in LOVE. My favorite flavors here are cake batter & peanut butter. They also got pumpkin pie in for the holidays and it's extra yummy mixed in with vanilla..... There is a special you can get 3 smalls for $8 and you can actually freeze them in your freezer to eat the next couple of days....:) read more

This is one of my sweet spot all around La Mesa! Flavors and textures of their products are great. I love their gelatos and cookies. Their sundaes look good too, next time I'll try them! Highly recommended. read more

So I was nice enough to remove my review last time from the bugs being in the toppings (because the owner asked me in my inbox) BUT now I go into the store me and my kids aren't greeted. The lady with dark hair and man just staring at us. What kind of customer service is that. I'm done I tried I'm not coming back! I'm not spending my money where I'm not wanted. Why can't I get the same service as other people with different skin that were being serviced?? read more

Delicious ice cream and very different flavors!! Love the Nutella option over anything. Tried the horchata and salted caramel flavors and they were great. Both times I went the service was great as well, and they carry the Cravory cookies which is a plus. Will stop by anytime I'm in the area. read more
