Happy Mediums is such a gem tucked away in Calimesa. Huge shoutout to Chef Shae, Bonnie, and the whole team! The roasted cauliflower sandwich with whipped tahini, cotija, mint, and walnut-sultana relish is one of my favorites. Their crispy potato with horseradish cream almost reminded me of a latke, and the muffuletta is the move if you're looking for something hearty. Their monthly Pizza Party is also something I look forward to, especially the mushroom ricotta, the lemon ricotta paired with the earthy mushrooms is such a great combo. The shrimp aguachile is refreshing and balances everything out perfectly. Great food, great service, and a really cool little spot. If you're in the area, definitely stop by! And don't sleep on the Pizza Party! read more

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

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

I hadn't been back here since Happy Mediums first opened, and was craving a great sandwich so I treated myself to the muffuletta! Let me tell ya, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Fresh ingredients, tasty, and all the right flavors a sandwich should have. The reviews speak for themselves. The service was extremely friendly and everyone had a smile on their face. I'm so happy I came here today - Happy Mediums = happy customer 10/10 Was treated with a piece of pie to top it off. Thank you for bringing this place to Calimesa! 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

10/10 The best avocado toast I've ever had!!! The combination of flavors was amazing. It was savory. The eggs were creamy. The sauce was slightly tangy and the dill on top gave it a nice freshness. I'd come back just for this. The inside is very clean and the staff is friendly. They gave us a free dessert to try. read more

What an absolute gem this breakfast/lunch/brunch spot is, tucked away in the little shopping center next to George's. An exciting menu full of healthy, clean variety that has something to appeal to anyone. We had the carrot dip appetizer, the crispy potato appetizer, the ricotta toast and the muffaletta-everything was delicious, filled with high quality ingredients in generous portions. We were comped a piece of passion fruit pie which was absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is excellent. The prices are some of the most reasonable I've seen lately. It's definitely worth the trip from any surrounding towns, as there is really nothing that matches what they are doing. I'm already planning what I will try the next time I go. Keep in mind seating is limited, so let's support them to grow into a bigger place! read more

Finally remembered to check this place out. I live in Beaumont so it's a quick drive for us. Customer service was top tier. He took time to explain everything to us as we were debating between the classic hoagie and the muffaletta. The sandwiches are huge. Easily a shareable meal. He told us that since it was our first time they included a free slice of pie. I'll try it later because I'm stuffed. Will definitely be back! read more

Phone order was ready on time. Muffuletta was fantastic. My son had the Italian and he loved it equally.

Well done! This mix of delicious food was bursting with freshness and different flavors to def wake your taste buds! My kids surprised me with a birthday picnic, they are vegan and tbh there's not a lot of choices to suffice. They love Happy Mediums because it dies just that for them. Everything shown except for the lemon curd toast was something they could enjoy So good! 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

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

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

I went in here after many suggestions to try by friends in Redlands. I asked for the most ordered items and was told it was the deli Muffuletta sandwich and avocado toast. I had to go with the avocado toast and with the hot day chose an iced tea to wash it down. The staff was friendly and service was quick considering the food was made to order. I enjoyed the tropical flavor of the tea and perusing the rest of the menu for what I may get the next time I am there. The sandwiches and salads looked amazing and when other guests orders arrived I saw them in person. Wowza! I need to bring friends so I can try more things next time. My toast came out next AND they brought me a complimentary piece of passion fruit pie because it was my first time there! Bonus! The avocado toast was something out of Food and Wine magazine with fresh dill, an perfectly cooked 8 minute egg, feta, toasted pepitas...so much goodness in each bite. Then the pie! I took one bite and was punched in the mouth with a flavor bomb. I had to get a to-go box to share the beauty of this dessert with my family - it was too good not to share. It almost didn't make it home, but the good angel won. I will be back for more Happy Mediums. Although IMO you are a "Happy Highs"! 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
