Happy Mediums is such a gem tucked away in Calimesa. Huge shoutout to Chef Shae, Bonnie, and the…read morewhole 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!

Happy Mediums was phenomenal. Unique, quirky, and welcoming. The service was extremely friendly…read more 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.

Great Food, Great Service, and a Relaxed Atmosphere…read more I had a really enjoyable experience here. The pretzel with cheese was delicious, and Sammy recommended the salmon, which was excellent. Sammy was especially great--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her customer service really stood out. It's refreshing to have someone who takes pride in making sure customers have a good experience. More restaurants could take a page from Sammy's book because good customer service can make just as much of a difference as good food. Sammy made the visit feel personal and comfortable without being overbearing. The restaurant wasn't too busy when I visited, which made for a nice, chill atmosphere. The 80s music was also a great touch and added to the relaxed vibe. Between the food, atmosphere, and especially the service, this was a great experience. I'd definitely come back!

The only reason it caught my eye was because our tax preparer was just down the street. It was obviously well loved by the locals after reading their great reviews and seeing a full parking lot. And this was on a Wednesday. We only had time for a quick bite, ordering nothing out of the ordinary. A quickie breakfast of sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancake, were all we had, but everything was nicely done. The pancake was big, light and airy, served with a carafe of warm syrup and a huge scoop of butter. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy, the sausage was basically a Farmer John sausage patty that was properly warmed but not overcooked, and very good tasting. My only criticism was the coffee being too thin for my liking, but keeping our coffee mugs filled was something they definitely did well! The service was wonderful. They knew we were in a rush, and handled us with TLC the entire 35 minutes we had. What I do know is, I will be looking forward to our next tax appointment, hah, knowing our morning will start off right here. Next time...chicken fried steak, or maybe a bowl of hearty homemade soup, y'all!

I had the country fried steak and I have to give it a strong 9/10. Perfectly cooked and gravy was also just as tasty. Potatoes were a little bland and needed some seasoning.

Make sure you get more than one cinnamon roll because oh my gosh, they are so good !!

I got the buffet and to my shock I found 3 flies in the beans after I'd sat down. Not small gnats but standard house flies. I brought it to Attention of the server and he of course apologized. Wife got a breakfast off the menu but by this time she'd eaten half of it and I sent mine back without a re-order as I was pretty much grossed out. Wife didn't want to finish her meal and was pretty much grossed out as well. While we sat there, I watched to see if the servers would pull the refried beans off the food line and replace it but sadly, nope. I figured since we are loyal/regular customers they would have at least offered to comp my wife's meal since she didn't eat it all but nope. You should treasure your customers. Even if they'd offer a comp meal I wouldn't have accepted it. The fact that they didn't tells me they need a lot of work on their customer satisfaction. Was fun while it lasted.

This is my second visit here and our server was super friendly and Breakfast was delicious!…read more The three of us ordered the: *Breakfast Sandwich- it's a handful of a sandwich with loads of delicious ham, crispy grilled bread, eggs & cheese. The Country fried potatoes are so flavorful! Get those! *Country Breakfast - everything is smothered in a tasty gravy. It was good but the biscuits could be fluffier. *Bacon&Egg breakfast- my hubby loved this breakfast. He said it was great to finally have a breakfast that was seasoned so well. I haven't been there for lunch, but this is a great breakfast spot for sure! If you haven't tried it you should!

I love their breakfast burrito accompanied with fresh salsa. (No pic) Eggs Benedict has perfectly poached eggs topping the country ham. So much great food on the menu, my family has tried almost everything! The homemade jams are a must as well. I love the vintage feel and all of the nostalgia that goes along with it. It's like coming home. It's a must stop if you're in the area. Take a pie home!

I've been coming to Kopper Kettle for years, and it used to be one of my go-to spots for brunch…read morewith my family. Lately though, it just hasn't been the same. The last few times we've gone, the service has been extremely slow, even when it didn't seem overly packed, which made the whole experience feel dragged out. The food is still decent, but it's nothing out of this world anymore, just pretty basic compared to how I remember it. That said, my favorite dish is still the skillet with turkey, avocado, and bacon. It's a solid option and probably the one thing that keeps me coming back to give it another shot. They've changed the decor slightly over the years, and there's a nice little gift shop section right as you walk in, which adds some charm and gives it a cozy feel. The staff has always been nice and friendly, so no complaints there. I just wish the overall experience matched how good this place used to be, because it definitely had something special before.

Cutest coffee shop ever, with dogs welcome!…read more OK, this is honestly the cutest little coffee shop I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the sweetest staff, especially Hannah, who shared the adorable backstory of the place. The owners have a dog named Chai and struggled to find coffee shops that allowed dogs, so they decided to open their own... and that's how Chai Coffee Shop was born! You can definitely feel the dog-loving vibe everywhere, from the décor to the fact that pups are actually hanging out inside. Within minutes, one of the dogs came over and licked my toes (unexpected but hilarious ). It's such a warm, welcoming environment where people and pets can just relax. The ambiance is perfectly balanced bright and social up front, with a quieter, cozier section in the back if you want to read, study, or work. I had the cold brew, which was fully customizable. I told the server I wanted it sweet, and she nailed it! so delicious! I also tried their pumpkin cornbread (not quite pumpkin bread, not quite a muffin, but so good). They even have a secret menu I haven't tried yet, but I definitely will next time. Their espresso machine was temporarily down when I visited, but it didn't bother me at all, plenty of great options regardless and should be back up by Wednesday. Prices are super reasonable and right in line with other coffee shops, but the vibe here is what really sets it apart. It's cozy, dog-friendly, and just genuinely joyful. Can't wait to come back soon!
