Lunch Box Cafe & Deli on La Mesa Boulevard serves scratch-made breakfast and lunch in the heart of La Mesa Village, operating from the same storefront since its 2013 opening. The deli side builds sandwiches on French rolls with house-sliced turkey, ham, and roast beef, a counter-service charcuterie format that runs alongside the Italian sub program at BMH Italian on the La Mesa sandwich corridor. The breakfast menu spans stuffed French toast with cream cheese and raspberry sauce, corned beef hash, huevos rancheros, and build-your-own omelets with over a dozen filling options. Catering platters scale from 10-person slider trays on Hawaiian rolls to 35-person sandwich spreads with 24-hour advance ordering, serving the same La Mesa Village breakfast corridor where Swami's Cafe La Mesa anchors the southern end. The most labor-intensive catering packages pair individually boxed lunches — each containing a sandwich, chips, pasta salad, apple, and cookie — with full salad platters built from house-dressed greens.
