The 1948 Long Beach CD only has two gas stations that mention Mobil in their name:
John & Bob's Mobil Service 3393 Long Beach Boulevard
Wings Mobil Service 3395 Atlantic Avenue
By 1951/1952 (the next available CD), there are 21:
Bob's Mobil Service 292 Alamitos Avenue
Brook's Mobil Gas Station 245 W 3rd
Corbett's Mobil Service 4625 E 2nd
Fingado's Mobil Services 551 W Anaheim
Gieck Mobil Service 142 E Anaheim
Hal's Mobil Service 3735 E Broadway

None of the listings mention a cafe.
I've done a bit of checking with Historic Aerials, but so far I haven't found anything likely. Their earliest image for this area is 1953.
