Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Happy Mediums has the best sandwich I’ve had so far in the IE! I got the tri-tip sandwich and was absolutely blown away. I told myself I’d save it for when I got home, but I ended up eating half of it in the car, it was that good. The sandwich was beautiful and generously filled, and the combination of flavors from the pasilla, garlic aioli, cilantro, and orange was truly artisanal. My only small qualm was the ciabatta bread. I wish it had a bit more crunch instead of being entirely soft. Overall, I’ll definitely be back! I’m already excited to try the mozzarella and pesto sandwich next time!"
"Great hole in the wall breakfast spot. Very friendly staff and quick service! I tried the Avocado Toast and Smoked Fish Toast. Both delicious and very filling. First timers get a free slice of Passion Fruit Pie, and that was really good too. Highly recommend coming here the next time you’re looking for a good breakfast!"
"The fact that this spot is a true 5-star establishment, with literally no reviews under 5-stars should be reason enough to check it out. HOWEVER, the food, service, and atmosphere, even in this simple cafe are completely worth it. We ordered the dip plate, the tri-tip sandwich, the roasted cauliflower sandwich, and the bread pudding. As other's have noted, if it's your first time, you're offered a free slice of passion fruit pie. DO NOT DECLINE THIS PIE. It is INCREDIBLE. The dip plate was a surprise. It comes with their herbed flatbread, a "smokey carrot dip" (very much a hummus consistency), and crudite. THe one thing I would suggest is that they mention they put almonds on top of the dip, as it could be an allergy for some. Otherwise, the dip was delicious, the flatbread tasty, with great tooth chew and well herbed, and the crudite was exceptionally fresh. I asked the staff what they recommended from the menu, and was told the roasted cauliflower sandwich was a 'sleeper', and goodness were they not lying. RICH with flavor and textures, this decadent and filling item comes on their homemade flatbread almost like an open-faced sandwich. But it was easily 'taco'd' for ease of eating. I don't even know all of the ingredients but what an absolute flavor bomb in your mouth. Just incredible. My lunch date ordered the tri-tip sandwich and said it was very tasty, although he shared wishing the meat wasn't cold. Finally, the desserts were just the cherry on top of the entire experience. While the breadpudding was delicious, the true star of dessert was the free slice of passion fruit pie. The crust was buttery, flaky and perfectly thick, and the passion fruit 'filling' was heavenly. So rich, fluffy and decadent! I will definitely be coming back and encourage anyone passing through to give them a visit! This spot is genuinely worth making a trek for!"
"Absolutely stellar dining experience. Happy Mediums is definitely a gem of the Inland Empire. Food was on another level, flavors balanced and bold, textures perfect. A lot of thought and care put into each dish. Everything we tried was delectable and I did not want to leave any morsels. Friendly staff as well."
"THIS WAS THE MEAL OF MY LIFEEE and if a restaurant EVER deserved 5 stars this is the one. The atmosphere is your first impression and it’s a very pleasant one. The service was kind and welcoming. BUT THE FOOOOOOD man the food was incredible. We got the avocado toast, passion fruit pie, and breakfast sandwich. Will definitely be coming back for 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"
"I world definitely recommend. I soak they open in Florida. Omg so much delicious options for veggie lovers.Flat bread with roasted cauliflower must try and avocado toast.Won't disappoint."
"A gem in Calimesa. I tried the muffuletta and it was... perfection! Hands down the best. We also had their house salad and passion fruit pie which were phenomenal. Fresh ingredients. Chill vibe."
