Spacebar Cafe & Wine Bistro

I with 2 other friends stopped in at the spacebar cafe and this was one of the best choices we made. We had the burger and fries combo. This was one of the best burgers we have ever had at least 1/2 lb patty cooked just the way we ordered and sauteed onions came with it (yessss!) and the fries were golden and really large ( scored again). Frank and his wife hoang were the best hosts. I will be coming back here really soon.

I don't offer write reviews, but this place deserves it. The friendly and helpful employee made our food and drinks with love.

Loved it!!! The owners take such great care with everything. The food and coffee are delicious. The presentation is outstanding. We need one of these in every area of San Diego!!

I love this place—my go-to breakfast spot!
Space Bar Café has totally won me over. I love this place! It’s my go-to for breakfast, and no matter how many times I visit, the quality and care never change. There’s something special about supporting a local, mom-and-pop-owned spot that clearly puts heart into everything they do.

I usually get the avocado toast and a Green Monster smoothie—and let me tell you, they nail it every time. The avocado toast is fresh, flavorful, and always perfectly seasoned (plus their bread is next level). And the Green Monster smoothie is the perfect start to my day—nutritious, energizing, and delicious without being too sweet.

What makes it even better is the vibe. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and it’s just one of those spots that feels like a little neighborhood gem. Whether I’m grabbing breakfast on the go or sitting down for a calm start to the morning, Space Bar never disappoints and make sure to check out there events!

Can’t recommend it enough. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!

Went there for the live music & a drink, so I can't speak to their food or service. It's an order & pay at the counter situation. The food coming out looked tasty. It's a great small community place to hang out. Saw some of our neighbors & heard great jazz music that they apparently have every Wed. night. Highly recommend!

Nice little place. I went to watch a friend play at open mic night. The beer and especially the wine prices are very good and so are the choices.

Important part of the La Mesa community

Shout out to Frank at Spacebar for my birthday brunch, we had the best of wine, food and music, awesome vibe too!

Came by here around 8 months ago while heavily pregnant and doing laundry next door with my toddler. Nothing else is close enough to waddle to with a toddler so I chose to stop here and see if there were any snacks or bakery items I could purchase for my son while we awaited our laundry. The man in front was absolutely rude. He didn’t treat me as a customer or with kindness in any way shape or form. I’ve heard nothing but great things but it’s been months and I still refuse to step foot back in this establishment regardless of how close and convenient they are because of how they made me feel during such a vulnerable time. Not sure what the cause was as I didn’t bring my child inside it was just me I was very kind and asked about their lemon cake and chocolate muffin the AA man in front instructed the worker not to take my order because he would as if he didn’t want me to disturb her.

I love the people at Spacebar. Come every Saturday night for the Fire Brothers. Also, the food service is improving from 3 🌟-4 🌟 .

Second Sunday Open Mic poetry is welcoming and inspirational.

Great food (smoked salmon pizza), great jazz, super friendly

Always an awesome experience @SpaceBar in La Mesa. Been going for years and will continue. Friendly services, tasty foods, and lively culture.
