Mike Moessner is such a great chef. He makes his food with ingredients from him farm. Farm to table literally! I am so glad to have eaten at his cafe read more

Highly recommend!! I cannot say enough about this gem. From the friendly service, the charming and inviting country atmosphere, to the incredibly tasty food, I fell in love with this place. Mom and I ordered the vegetable sandwich, turkey sandwich, cranberry wasabi (ridiculous combo!), and tomato soup (rich as a bisque but with no added cream). I was completely impressed with the quality of the ingredients and robust flavors. Delicious and comforting. Come support these folks and you will see what I mean. Big thank you to the Moessner Family for their warm welcome and fantastic lunch! **They sell a plethora of butters (Apple, pumpkin, peach, etc.), jams (watermelon, white nectar, peach habanero, pluot, raspberry, orange marmalade, etc.), ratatouille, tomato soup, pickled cucumbers, habanero ketchup, etc. My mom would've bought the entire store if we stayed any longer. **Baked goodies were simple yet memorable and delicious! We had the apple pastry and shortbread cookies with pluot centers (seriously those cookies though..!). read more

See all

Adorable place to eat. Personally loved everything on their menu a lot more than the popular Kohnen's Deli in town. Good menu selection of sandwiches with farm to table ingredients. Daily yummy homemade soup on menu. Cheeseburger had a great hamburger paddy, tasted really good! Salads had actual mixed greens and not just iceberg lettuce. Great service and friendly owner. We asked to sample some of their jams and they were all delicious. Make sure to ask the owner to view his pickled goods he has on hand that aren't on display! And stop by the baked goods and pick out your favorite fruit puff or strudel and some cookies as you are paying your bill. Will be coming back here often. read more

Moessner Farms - Specialty Food Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Stopped in after seeing the wonderful Yelp reviews....so glad we did. Anything the place lacks in decor, it makes up in attention to homemade goodness and fresh ingredients. we had tomato soup that tasted like tomatoes picked fresh off the vine. The pastrami sandwich served with sauerkraut was warm, gooey and flavorful. The portobello mushroom sandwich served with roasted bell peppers was super delicious. The Wasabi mayonnaise served on the side was a treat. All of the bread melted in your mouth. We also indulged in some apple cake which was yummy too. We bought several jars of jam and pickled things to enjoy at home later that we can't wait to try. The restaurant is off the beaten path from downtown Tahachapi but definitely worth the drive! read more

Had a wonderful fresh and tasty lunch. I picked up a jar of their pickles, OMG, so good. Very cool place. If you are in the area give it a try you won't be disappointed . read more

A cute little farm to table cafe with delicious food. All 3 of the entres that we ordered were fabulous. The goulash soup was amazing. There is also a little store with site made pickles, jams, preserves, lavender candles and more. The owners are very friendly. They are only open on the weekend. A gem not to be missed if you are passing through Tehachapi, Bear Valley, or Stallion Springs. read more

Denizen of Bear Valley Springs are blessed with a delicious, mouthwatering Deli just outside the BVS entrance. A scrumptious soup and salad is reasonably priced. Wrap it up with a few tempting pastries for a before bed snack or morning treat. Don't forget to browse the extensive selection of jams and pickled vegetables. They make perfect gifts. My favorite treat is the unusual; but, delightful persimmon jam. Soooo sooo goood! read more

This little find was great! I drove to Tehachapi with my Uncle to go apple picking and I decided to take our lunch fate into my own hands. I was scanning places, all of which seemed a bit sketchy for such a small town. (No offense tiny town America, but I don't do sushi when I only see 10 people wandering the streets.) Needless to say we found this place on our apple picking map and it ended up being great! Tasty sandwiches and side salads. So fresh, so original. I had the pastrami (they were out of my first choice: roast beef) and it was great! I mean I have had better but it had some kind of spicy mayo on it I think? And I never say no to spicy. My Uncle had the Bratwurst. He seemed to like it. But I never know with that guy. I ordered the pasta salad with my meal because other reviewers seemed to like it. It was alright, but I detected some celery flavor and I hate celery! But I won't mark them down because I happen to be so weird. All in all a great restaurant after a great day! read more

Absolutely loved this charming place. Well worth the 10 mile drive. Food was delicious. Staff was super friendly. I had the turkey melt and my friend had the Reuben. Both were great. read more

Great stuff, the Hot Garlic Dill Pickles are hard to stop eating.... Then I started to eat the Stuffed Olives they had but did not make... wow really good. Jalapeno stuffed olives in a salt not vinegar solution.. Made by Adams Ranch, but sold at this place. The pastry I had there was good too. I will need to stop by more often... Thanks for existing... read more

Fresh quality food. I have been craving the salad for days since I ordered it here. Small and homey feeling. But the food is to die for. Cute canning and pickled items available for purchase also. Will be back read more

Good sandwich - nothing out of the ordinary. Quaint atmosphere. Will go back when I'm feeling like peace and quiet .

Wonderfully delicious sandwiches and pastries. The turkey melt sandwich is our favorite, but we do try others as well. Very friendly atmosphere; great service. So nice to be able to have lunch and pick up a few vegetables, jams, and strudel on the way out. Thank you read more

Love going here. Takes your you back to a simpler time. Great place to stock up on homemade jellies, pickles, sauerkraut and more! Love their Apricot Danish. Food is fresh and you can taste it. They grow their own veggies, so need I say more. Great place to relax. read more

We bought some of their home made peach and cherry strudel at the Tehachapi farmer's market today; so good! Light and crispy with delicious fruit inside :) read more

Delicious! Cute country atmosphere, friendly staff & great food! Treat yourself to an apple turnover (puff)! My only regret is that I split the turnover with my husband, I wish I would have had a whole one to myself! read more

By far the best sandwiches in Tehachapi, even if it is a bit out of town. A perfect stop for lunch while wine tasting at the two local vineyards or checking out the ostrich ranch or Horse Thief Golf Course or even Woodward West - which are all on Moessner's side of town. And don't forget to buy some of Moessner's fabulous tomato soup or other canned goods produced on site that line the walls of the shop. Great pastries, jams, chutneys. And in the summer fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic can be found for purchase. Definitely worth a stop and if you go on a Saturday in summer you can hit Grimmway's organic produce shed on your way in or out for watermelons, carrots, lettuce, spinach, etc. It's on the corner of Cummings Valley and Bear Valley. Moessner will be the highlight of this day trip, though! read more

We have been meaning to go here for ages! Wow!! I had the Harvest Turkey Melt and I am ready for another tomorrow. Wonderful texture, layers of flavors, quality ingredients and served with a cranberry, wasabi mayonaise. It came with a unique macaroni salad. This is no ordinary lunch place. My husband had the Portabello Mushroom, he's ready for another one also. The price is very resonable. A must go to. Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 - 5. read more

I loved this new place. It has a cozy german feel to it. I ate a harvest turkey melt sandwich that had green apples in it and wasabi cranberry mayo with Parmesan bread The sandwich was different and creative. I talked to the waitress for a little while and she told me that the owner of the place makes all of their bread, their jams and is the only one cooking in the kitchen. His hard work and love for what he does shines through. read more

Great country feel to the store and restaurant! Definitely a family owned feel and they're super friendly. I had their Cheeseburger which was absolutely delicious. My wife and friend also had sandwiches, the turkey and Reuben, to which they also agreed we're delicious. We had a pastry for desert was light and delicious as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that enjoys a good sandwich no matter the type. They also have homemade jams and jellies. We didn't get any this time around but if they're anything like their food I'm positive they're good as well. read more

A friend & I had a craving for sandwiches & wanted to go where there was a relaxing, not frenetic atmosphere, so off we went to Moessner's. We were not disappointed! Delicious Farmhouse Club & Chicken Brouchette sandwiches - yummy. Also purchased homemade tomato soup to bring home to the hubbies for dinner & it was delicious. They now make cheeseburgers & fries too. The burger looked equally tasty with a huge, juicy patty. That will be ordered on our next visit. Highly recommend our cute, country hometown sandwich shop - and love their homemade goodies & produce too! read more

I've eaten from here about three times and I've only had the pastrami sandwich, pasta salad,spicey garlic pickles, and their chocolate chip cookies. All are excellent! I would recommend eating there with family that are from out of town to experience one of the hidden food treasures in Tehachapi. Nothing fancy about this place...just good food. read more

This Moessner Farms bakery has been around since 1892 same location and claims to the first espresso bar, in the CA . read more

Wonderful lunch for a very reasonable price. Now serving a hamburger which we did not try. We did try the French fries(another new item) and they were excellent. Great sandwiches and soups. Also fresh eggs for sale as well as pickles, jams, and pastries. read more

Delicious every time!!! Have been here a few times to eat and buy vegetables and have never been disappointed with the taste or quality of food. Highly recommend!! read more

Wow. W.O.W. Let me preface this by saying that I have spent the past few months in Tehachapi and am pretty discerning about where I give five stars. I have spent way too much time in really mediocre places in Tehachapi (to mention a few, Konens German Bakery, King Siam Thai, The Apple Shed). These places really suck. Konens has no idea how to make a sandwich. I nearly gave up, until I discovered Moessner's. It is really a shame they're only open Friday-Sunday. Their sandwiches are incredible. I had Roast beef, a real reinterpretation on the traditional roast beef, with habanero chili, pepper jack cheese, very thinly sliced roast beef. I also had the Tomato Mozarella, with the most delicate flavor of melted mozzarella (although fresh mozzarella would have been better) and fresh vine ripened tomato with basil and olive oil. The sandwiches come with the most delicately seasoned pasta salad (honestly, I have never had such tasty and light pasta salad!) Their fruit puffs are divine as well. I particularly like the blueberry, but any flavor is good. Likewise for their turnovers, apple and peach. I am waiting to taste the homemade apple and strawberry apple pies (8.50 a pie! what a deal!!). I hear they are a hit at the Farmers Market in Santa Monica as well. What a gem. Don't miss this place if you go to Tehachapi. (You can compliment it with a trip to the Souza Family Winery, or the Triassic Winery which is across the street - haven't been there yet though, so I can't vouch for the place). read more

Everything they do is amazing! Sandwiches are creative and tasty, best pickled beets ever, great sauerkraut, and their jams are excellent! Service is a little slow, but we like the atmosphere and don't mind hanging out and perusing their shelves for what we can take home to enjoy later. :) read more

Everything is handcrafted make with great care. The cafe serves delicious sandwiches & fresh home made soups. Also the baked goods, jams, jellies, sauerkraut are excellent. You won't leave hungry! read more

Can't say enough about how amazing this place is!! Great flavors, sauces, sides, soups, pastries and service!! Worth the drive and every penny!! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here for lunch. I had the Malibu ham with a side salad. The sandwich was delicious and filling, the staff were very friendly and nice, and my salad was topped with bright red, perfect red tomato. Like, clearly vine-ripened, real fresh tomato. Thanks for pointing this place out, yelpers!! read more

Great food, sandwiches, pastries, jams, etc. We are sorry to hear they have closed for good. We read in the local paper the owner will be doing catering only. read more
