    Looking for a place to have breakfast, I came across Sheldon's Service Station. It is a nice area, lots of space to sit outside and the service was nice and quick. Food was good as well. You need to go to the register to order your meal, pay and then you grab a number for your table. I really like this way of service, which cuts down the time you get served. Would have loved some more ambiance, decorations and music. If you are in the area, please try them out and share your own experiences. Happy meals!

    Bagel and lox

    I got a few items from this place after a hike. The bagel and lox (my favorite of the two), caprese and avocado toast, banana nut muffin and a chai tea latte. The food was really good! Service was quick! I was shocked I'd never seen this place before. No real complaints, the food was really good, maybe a touch expensive for what we got.

    Half turkey sandwich and fruit

    Not a bad option but not somewhere I'd rush back for. Located on the end of the main street in downtown La Mesa, they have a huge outdoor patio so seating wasn't an issue at all when I went on a Tues at 12:30. You order at the counter, get a number and they bring your food out to you. They have a lot of options for drinks that are coffee and tea based. For food they have the standard breakfast options, sandwiches and salads. They have a small assortment of baked goods as well. I got the half turkey sandwich and a side of fruit. The bread on the sandwich was sourdough and had a good flavor. It was toasted but didn't come warm at all. It felt like it was toasted a whole ago. The sandwich components were cheese, lettuce, tomato, turkey and a cranberry aioli. I thought the cranberry flavor would come through more but was very lightly there. The fruit was standard mix of pineapple, watermelon and orange. The prices are pretty high for what you get. My meal after tax and tip was close to $13 and the portion isn't huge.

    I'm sure I've reviewed this breakfast spot before but I'm going to hype up their muffins once again. Their muffins are to die for! So moist and big on size! I crave it every now and then so we go there about every two months to feed my cravings. My favorite flavor is the chocolate muffin. Second place is lemon poppy. The blueberry and cranberry muffins come in third and finally we have the banana nut muffin

    My favorite La Mesa breakfast spot, and I really like they're coffee Second best part is outside seating right on La Mesa blvd. ( and of course pet friendly, so fiona approved)

    Food: Like crashing ur fav neighbor's kitchen for breakfast or lunch, with perfect hash browns, crip baked bacon & humbly toasted sourdough. Blueberry Muffins to live for with or sans butter. They specialize in coffees, Blueberry-Cranberry, Banana & Chocolate Muffins & Avocado Toasts. Service: Best ever---tables immediately bussed, table availability constant, dog water bowls everywhere! Cashier could not be more helpful & pleasant. Staff work harmoniously, ever attending to tides of customers. Ambiance: Plenty al fresco dining in duos, single & more. Located in heart of La Mesa on La Mesa Blvd.. Although Sheldon's does not need any more recommendations, I highly recommend you visit here soon!

    My new favorite coffee spot! I'm currently in my pandan obsession era and this place does it RIGHT…read more I've already been back more times than I can count. So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

It would usually take a half hour to get a simple drink order. Food that was previously wow turned into meh (I'm looking at you, shashuka). I don't blame the baristas. I don't think the business owners ever properly streamlined their ordering process / menu to get items out effectively. I hope we get something nice to replace this space.

Ordered two coffees, the coconut coffee & the Turkish hazelnut coffee. The coconut coffee has real coconut flakes in it,which makes the overall taste come through much better. The Turkish coffee has so much depth in flavor and was nicely balanced. Tried the chocolate chip cookie here and it was big enough to share between two people. Looking forward to coming back to try other drinks.

    Update after the owner's response:…read more I appreciate the response, but I stand by my experience. Whether the wait was 5 minutes or 20, we were standing at the pickup counter after receiving a notification that our order was ready, and no one acknowledged us until we spoke up. During a rush, communication still matters. I also want to clarify that I never claimed to have a dairy intolerance or allergy, because I do not. I simply stated that all of us became sick shortly after consuming the drinks and pastry we purchased there. I never claimed to know the exact cause -- only the timing of what occurred. What disappointed me most was not just the experience itself, but the defensive and dismissive tone of the response instead of a more professional acknowledgment of a customer concern. I genuinely wanted to enjoy this place because it is cute and came recommended to me, but unfortunately this was my experience.

The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes.

The la mesa latte was super yummy and while I'm not the biggest fan of cold foam on lattes this one was pleasantly good! 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.
