Happy Mediums was phenomenal. Unique, quirky, and welcoming. The service was extremely friendly. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you're visiting an old friend instead of just ordering breakfast. The chef even sent over bread pudding complementary. When we told the server it wasn't for us, he just smiled and said, "It's definitely for this table." Super gracious, no awkwardness. The eggs were perfectly medium, the breakfast sandwich was one of the most uniquely tasty sandwiches I've ever had, and even the tea stood out. It was tasted freshly brewed with a hint of currant. Everything felt thoughtfully unique without being pretentious. Easily a top 3 breakfast spot for me. Now I understand why this place has a perfect 5 stars on Yelp. It's an absolute gem. read more

Went to Happy Mediums recently and I'm still thinking about that Muffuletta sandwich. I was in New Orleans last fall and made it a point to try a few Muffulettas over there, so I came in with pretty high expectations. Somehow, Happy Mediums beat them all. The bread, the sesame seeds, the sauces they use, the meat -- everything just worked together perfectly. It had everything I didn't even know I wanted in a Muffuletta. Every bite was either taking my breath away or draining all my energy because I had to stop and process how good it was. Either way, I kept staring at my sandwich in disbelief that I traveled all the way to NOLA for Muffulettas only to realize the best one was closer to home this whole time. Boy, am I lucky. Since it was my first visit, they also gave me a slice of their passion fruit pie to try. The flavor was great -- nice and tart, slightly sour, and the crust was baked perfectly. It just wasn't really for me since I'm not much of a pie person to begin with. But I ended up ordering a whole pie to take home because I knew my mom would love it, and I was absolutely right. It was love at first bite for her. Safe to say, we're definitely coming back. read more

Happy Mediums - Muffuletta Sandwich and Passion Fruit Pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calimesa, California

I was looking to try a new breakfast spot and found this little gem in Calimesa as I wanted to take my Grandma something a little different. I ordered to-go: Crispy Potato w/Horseradish Cream Ricotta Toast -- Fantastic! The Breakfast Sandwich w/Avocado Everything was excellent! I love the thoughtfully curated menu. Each item was prepared with love by someone with an eye for detail which is something I truly appreciate. I'm surely looking forward to my next visit! Thanks so much! read more

Very solid sandwich spot in the Inland empire. I love everything about the branding, the vibe of the shop, and even how friendly the staff were. I kept seeing this place pop up on my Instagram and decided we it my time to try it. It was a little cold that day but we ended up eating outside. I got a Reuben sandwich and since it was my first time they gave me a free slice of pie. The sandwich was very filling, I like how everything seemed very fresh/local, the sauce paired well with the sandwich and didn't over power. The second time I came in I got the hoagie with turkey. Honestly I think everything is good the attention to detail and care for each sandwich matched what they were as a brand. Simple but delicious. The menu is very extensive and they partner with the local bakery next door so everything comes out fresh. Would recommend come at anytime of the day. They got breakfast all day every day. read more

Everything tasted fresh and made from scratch which is amazing! There were also tons of options on the menu for both meat eaters/vegetarians or sweet/savory. The servers were friendly, and the service quick. The seating is a little limited and some of the dishes I feel are just an acquired taste that I was not used to. My favorite dishes were definitely the breakfast sandwich (the bread was so fresh tasting!) and the passion fruit pie. I would come back again! read more

this place is a nice small local restaurant and felt very farm-to-table. the staff were nice and answered all my questions. the restaurant itself is farmstyle and might host 8 inside and another 6-8 outside. doesn't seem like there's a bathroom available. however i am knocking off a star because i thought it was misleading to say smoked fish in the menu item but it was more like a canned tuna/salmon consistency (although I know some canned salmons are smoked?). the menu prices I think are a bit high although I think you are paying for the quality. if I could do a half star I would and go 3.5 but since I loved the food still, keeping it at a 4. other than that, the rest of the food was great! the passion fruit pie was especially tasty and had a strong tart flavor balanced by the toasted whipped cream on top. would definitely come again to try their other items as i thought it was amazing quality. read more

We phoned our order in because we were on our way back from Blythe. We were worried we wouldn't make it before closing. My sister had been there before and she suggested it. When we got there, the guy (didn't catch his name) was so welcoming. He made sure to let us know there was no rush and we should take some bites while we were there. Omg I can't even explain how delicious it was. We both ordered the muffaletta...SO good!! We will definitely be back and we've already told our family they need to go! read more

Finally visited this spot and loved it so much! It's a small space but has a few tables to dine-in. The vibe is minimalistic, chill and so cute. we were warmly greeted by one of the workers and he was super friendly! everything we got tasted freshly made and flavorful. I would highly recommend the fish toast, i was hesitant but it ended up being my favorite item. He even gave us a complimentary potato dish. would recommend checking out if you're in the area read more

We don't live nearby and just stopped in while running errands after seeing the great reviews. Honestly didn't expect it to be this good. The space is cozy and lively, and the staff were genuinely friendly. They walked us through their popular dishes, gave us time to decide, and never felt pushy. They even surprised us with dessert on the house, which felt really thoughtful and rare these days. We ordered the crispy potatoes, avocado toast, and half a muffaletta. The avocado toast absolutely lives up to the hype. Seriously is THE best I've ever had. The bread was toasted to the perfect crunch, the avocado was at that ideal ripeness, and the jammy eggs were cooked perfectly (which I really like since I'm not a fan of poached eggs). The orange purée and dill added this bright, zesty sweetness that made the whole dish feel surprisingly elevated but also well-balanced. The half muffaletta was a generous portion and was thick, flavorful, and a little messy in the best way. My boyfriend loved it. The crispy potatoes were also done really well. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and not greasy at all. The passion fruit pie was amazing too. Super intense passion fruit flavor, like multiple fruits packed into one slice. It's not overly sweet and leans a little tart (which I loved), and the crust was perfectly crumbly. I can see why almost every table had one. The French toast wasn't my personal favorite since I'm not big on cinnamon, but the lemon and basil combination was really interesting and I can see others loving it. The black currant iced tea was unsweetened, smooth, and really refreshing with no bitterness, probably cold brewed. Very refreshing. Easily a 10/5. This is the kind of place you hesitate to tell people about because you want to keep it to yourself but it's too good not to share. Worth mentioning pricing is really fair. read more

This place meets a lot of what I'm looking for in a 5 star food establishment: delicious healthy food, friendly and fast service, and aesthetic/chill ambiance. I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and it definitely surprised me. It has so much flavor. It was about $20 which is still a lot for a single order in my opinion but I think it's worth it. The bread it's served on tastes like garlic naan bread. Roasted Cauliflower: 5/5 read more

Happy Mediums is one of my favorite places to eat. Every single thing I've had there is so delicious and fresh.

Stopped by this small brunch spot in Calimesa next to Village Bread last weekend and it was pretty good. It's not easy to find places like this in the area with creative menus and quality ingredients. We decided to go with the grain bowl (tasty with good mix of components), ricotta toast (never had asparagus and herbs with ricotta before, it works!), and the smashed potato (horseradish crema goes well with perfectly prepared potato). They even gave us a free slice of passion fruit pie since it was our first time there - very delicious! read more

The food at this place was so delicious! We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, smoked fish toast, a muffaletta sandwich, and a passion fruit pie. The passion fruit pie was free since this was my first time here. My personal favorite was the muffaletta sandwich, which was very flavorful - some people think this sandwich can be a bit heavy but I didn't feel that way. The breakfast sandwich was a close second for me. The service was also really good - the employee helped move some chairs and a table outside for us since I was with my new niece in a stroller, and outdoors seating was easier for us. Would definitely come back here! read more

We were passing through and just happened to find this place and boy am I grateful we stopped in for a bite! We had breakfast here and got the ricotta toast, Caesar salad, pie, and drip coffee. Everything was 10/10!!! It was the best ricotta toast, the bread was perfectly toasted, and just thick enough. The pea shoots on top were lovely, and the shallots balanced everything nicely. The salad was also SO tasty, the dill was a nice touch. Crunchy and filling, an excellent salad. The pie was really stand out, and we don't have sweet teeth. I can't wait to drive through and stop by again! Oh, and the staff were incredibly friendly! read more

We were so happy to find this cute little place. The dishes are flavorful and unique and the presentation beautiful. We were hooked from the first bite. The freshness of the ingredients and the breads really made each dish shine. Add to that friendly service and Happy Mediums is a new favorite. Standouts for us were the roasted cauliflower and the French toast bread pudding. Also really appreciated the cold bottle for our table when we decided to drink water. Instant 5 stars! read more

Our visit was absolutely soul nourishing in every way imaginable! Walking in the eatery, it's humbly artistic. From the moment we walked in, the warmth embraced my partner and I. We were greeted with great enthusiasm and calmness at the ordering counter. Upon looking over the menu, we noticed the simplicity and intentionality. I ordered the grain bowl. Partner ordered the breakfast sandwich. We shared the passion fruit pie.. and literally, with every bite tears began swell.

Everything here was so amazing. The service was absolutely next level, and the food was so incredible. Very chill, adorable little spot. My boyfriend had the Muffaletta (sp ? lol) and it was absolutely beautiful. I have an autoimmune disease and can't have gluten and they made the most delicious breakfast sandwich, the gluten-free bread was scary good, like I second guessed it a little bit even. The young lady with the pastel hair up front was super sweet and accommodating and even had the chef do a little gluten free treat for me at the end. He was also very sweet, and talked to us about getting the bread locally from the bakery next door. We're already planning what to order on our next visit. Thank you!! Also I apologize for no pictures, we were too excited read more

I don't even know how to start! Happy Mediums came highly recommended by Lucid Coffee (in the same shopping center); Lucid Coffee is incidentally also really amazing Coffee, so try that too. Anyway, my wife and I came in for the first time last week and ordered the avocado toast and the smoked fish toast. Since it was our first time, we also got a piece passion fruit pie. The avocado toast was hands down the best avocado toast we have ever had in our entire life, and my wife orders avocado toast at most places she goes to for brunch. This avocado toast is leagues better than anything else we have had. I will usually prepare myself smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel for breakfast, so naturally I ordered the smoked fish toast. I can't begin to tell you all of the amazing flavors and textures both of these dishes had. Absolutely divine! The service is amazing and they even gave us a complimentary piece of pie. This pie...OMG! This pie! My wife hates passion fruit, but this pie is her new guilty pleasure. Made in a way that is very reminiscent of key lime pie, this pie is sure to keep you coming back here! Since we are foodies, we went up to San Francisco for the weekend and partook in a pretty incredible food scene. It was good, but we couldn't wait to come back to Happy Mediums for another brunch! We came in today and ordered the roasted cauliflower and the classic hoagie (avocado). Both were absolutely delectable! The burst of flavors and textures were so complex that these dishes cannot be described as anything short of creative genius. We also had the French toast bread pudding to finish off the meal. You know how when you take a bite of something that is so surprisingly incredible that it knocks you back and makes you lose your train of thought?!?! Every single bite was like that! Each bite was more delectable than the last. There is seating inside and outside, which we have chosen to sit outside both times we have ate here. The restaurant is very clean, their coffee and tea is absolutely delightful and the atmosphere is light, fun, and friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough...really, I was stopping people in the parking lot to rave about how awesome this place is. Everyone that I know that has eaten here say the same thing...this food is life changing! read more

Amazing restaurant, service, and food. It is innovative, and unassuming. The food is what you would expect in San Francisco - delicious, fresh, and never boring. They do basic things very very well.

I hope it stays forever. read more

Happy Mediums Is Anything But "Medium." Happy Mediums is the kind of café that quietly ruins your standards for all other cafés. At first glance, it's effortlessly cool--warm, inviting, and unpretentious in that we-know-what-we're-doing way. But then the food arrives, and suddenly this is no longer a casual stop. This is an experience. The muffaletta deserves its own standing ovation. Perfectly balanced, deeply flavorful, and generously layered, it's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite because your brain needs a second to catch up. Savory, bright, satisfying--this is how a muffaletta is supposed to taste. And just when you think you've peaked... the passionfruit pie shows up and casually steals the show. Tart, silky, and beautifully restrained, it hits that rare sweet spot where dessert feels indulgent without being overwhelming. One bite turns into several, and suddenly you're considering ordering another "for later." (You won't wait.) The café-style vibe is relaxed but intentional, and the service is genuinely warm--friendly without hovering, knowledgeable without being pushy. It feels like a place run by people who care deeply about quality and somehow make it all look easy. Happy Mediums isn't trying too hard. It doesn't need to. It's confidently excellent, and that's what makes it special. If you're local, this should already be on your rotation. If you're visiting, make it a priority. Five stars, no hesitation. I'll be back--probably sooner than I should admit. read more
