Spacebar Cafe & Wine Bistro 7454 University Avenue, La Mesa, CA 91942

"I'll note the one negative up front - their service gets slow if it's packed because late nights appear to only have two people on staff. I don't mind that, though, because the food is an excellent accompaniment to some of the best live blues music I've ever heard, Dave Good (and many friends)'s tribute concert-shaped outpouring of love for Robert Cowan. It's a cozy place you genuinely want to be in and are reluctant to leave."

"So I’ll start this off by saying I have been here a couple times mostly for take out, smoothies, bagels etc. It’s ok but kinda high prices for the quality. Staff haven’t been the nicest but I can get over that. I came here to complain because I use the laundry mat in the same parking lot and every Tuesday they have some sort of event where drunk people come here in droves…IN THEIR CARS. The amount of times I’ve watched my own car or other cars get dinged, scratched or literally hit by drunk people coming here is astounding. It’s a small parking lot as it is and they take up every spot in the evenings despite there being street parking on the road right next to the place. Seems like they’re encouraging people to drive drunk to or from their restaurant."

"Try the yucca fries!! I love this spot. Frank, the owner, and his staff are wonderful. The food is excellent and the music, both live and ambience, is great."

"This place was a nice little surprise find on a Sunday morning! The young lady helping us was very patient and helpful, as this was our first visit here. She even helped me save $1 on my sandwich by ordering from the Sunday brunch menu. My lox, tomato, onions, and capers with cream cheese on an everything bagel was delicious! The bagel was fresh and soft. In all the right ways. All the parts were in tasty harmony. My husband said his egg, bacon, and everything bagel was good too - and the bonus of fresh fruit on the side. The atmosphere is very chill and comfortable, with the accent of fresh yellow roses on each table. I can imagine later in the day/night, especially with live music, this place gets busier but hangs on to that vibe. We'll have to check it out!"

"Cool vibe and great food. Met a friend here for a weekly meeting, the work space was just what we needed. There is also a stage for live music. Definitely worth a visit."
