Subway on Avocado Boulevard in La Mesa's Casa de Oro district operates from Suite 11B at 3739 Avocado Boulevard, serving the neighborhood's south-side residential base near Mt Helix. The fresh-baked bread program runs five varieties daily including Italian, wheat, and herb-and-cheese, a rotation that complements the glazed and cake donut production at Best Donuts elsewhere along the Casa de Oro corridor. Founded in 1965 by Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the chain now operates more than 36,000 locations worldwide. This Avocado Boulevard location provides curbside pickup and catering trays in addition to dine-in service, pulling lunch orders from the residential streets between Campo Road and Avocado Boulevard that also feed the tandoori and curry platters at Aromas of India on University Avenue. Six-inch and footlong Subway Melts toast meats and cheese through a rapid convection oven that reaches target melt temperature in under thirty seconds per sandwich.
