    We were visiting Media from upstate NY and Bittersweet Kitchen was recommended by our Airbnb host. Such a cute place! And I loved loved loved the Jersey tomato sandwich!

    Remnants of French Toast BLT and Grilled Cheese Combo, which we demolished!

    Came here with my boyfriend for brunch on a Saturday, he lives nearby. The wait was a totally reasonable 15 minutes! The overall experience was great, with cute indoor and outdoor seating and kind workers. We got the French Toast BLT and the Grilled Cheese Combo. Both were fantastic and miles above average, and I've been to a lot of brunch places. We WILL be returning and this will be our go-to spot going forward. This is not your average brunch food. French Toast BLT was the ultimate meal for sweet and savory lovers, with maple syrup on the side for dipping. I got it with an over easy fried egg per the recommendation of another Yelper; amazing addition! It's also a huge portion, you will have enough to save for later. Highly recommend! The Grilled Cheese Combo is an amazing comfort food meal that will make you want a nap after. Pesto grilled cheese with nicely spiced tomato soup for dipping! My boyfriend couldn't finish it. We shared and I loved it as well! Could see myself ordering both our meals again in the future. Definitely check this place out for brunch if you're in the area!

    Mushroom & Spinach Omelette

    One of my most favorite places to stop by. This place makes the VERY BEST egg omelette, potatoes and biscuit! I insist to be back in no time!

    Breakfast "enchiladas" were more like chicken flautas with an egg on top. Very tasty. And filling.

    It was a busy morning due to a power outage in town. I was offered a seat at the window ledge but declined (bad knees). I was then offered a table if I was willing to wait. Seated 15 minutes later. Barely acknowledged. But order taken promptly. Food delivered swiftly. No coffee refill, no water refill, no asking if my meal was tasty? It was. Though more like chicken flautas, then enchiladas. And was given change for a $20 in fives. I could tip $2 or leave $5 for an $18 bill. Normally, I'm a good tipper but there was barely any service. That said, it's clearly normally a friendly place. There were plenty of regulars. I clearly was here on an off day. I love the kid's toys. And I have dined outside where it's not so loud. And had better service.

    Came here on a Saturday around 9am and were lucky to be seated right away. The place is cozy and the staff were friendly. Service was quick too and the food was delicious (our group got the spinach, mushroom and feta omelette and stuffed French toast). Everything was freshly made, would definitely recommend this spot.

    Bittersweet Kitchen might have a wait, but it's worth the wait. And that comes from 4 hungry runners after the Philly Half Marathon. We found that the servers and restaurant owner/manager were both extremely kind and attentive, and while waiting, we enjoyed the interior decor. The restaurant itself is slightly small, but it makes up for that space with its bubbly atmosphere and homey interior decor. I liked that peaceful dining experience I ordered an omelet with a side salad and biscuit and found the food to be hot, filling, and not-too-greasy. As a girl who lives in the South, I'm used to my brunch being way too heavy, but Bittersweet Kitchen hit the balance just right. My friends who ordered the huevos ranchos, the tomato soup, and the spinach omelet also agreed with me. We also split an order of the pumpkin donut holes for the table, which were delicious and not too sweet! Next time I am in Media, I will definitely pop back into Bittersweet Kitchen for the great service, ambiance, and delicious food.

    Blueberry scone

    This was my first time at Bittersweet Kitchen, and I had high hopes. Maybe I went on an off day, but my buttermilk pancakes tasted like that stuff you used in preschool. I think it was called Mod Podge. I prefer light, fluffy, flavorful, and fresh pancakes. The bacon was tasty, although not even close to hot. I did tell the waitress that the pancakes were underwhelming so she took them off my bill. I purchased a blueberry scone and that also had no flavor and was the softest scone I've ever had. I'm passing, but everyone else in the restaurant seemed happy with their food.

    Great lil spot! Shotgun review: - Good coffee - Friendly service - Quick experience* - Tasty, imaginative food** - Plenty of gluten-free options - Nice bar/window seats with street views *We went on a Wednesday morning at around 10 AM. I bet it's much, much busier on the weekends. **I couldn't decide between a sweet or savory experience, & when the server suggested that I could do both, I was delighted. I tried their French toast BLT on gluten-free bread & I'm very glad I did. As promised, it was both sweet & savory. Totally delicious & very filling!

    French Toast BLT with maple mayo and house potatoes. Interesting and tasty variation on a lunch classic sandwich

    Amazing food and great service in a small well decorated breakfast & lunch cafe in Media right by the Courthouse. Definitely gets crowded and you will probably wait for a table but well worth it. Homemade food made with great care and some unique choices. Good menu and has specials as well. Staff is very attentive. Prices are a bit high but not bad when you account for the food quality and portions.

    Do they take reservations?

    Do they allow dogs?

    I've never seen a dog in there, so I'm guessing they don't. But there is outdoor seating and I'm betting it's not a problem to have a well behaved dog out there.

The service is amazing and…read morethe love the workers have for this place is palpable, they always make sure we have everything we need. Feels like a cute hole-in-the-wall place inside. I love the Omelettes, they're definitely above average, they come with fried potatoes and perfectly toasted/buttered bread. I love putting the omelette on top of the bread, so good! The perfect amount of food and I clean my plate everytime. Although, not enough for leftovers. I've gotten the 14 Hour Pork Butt Omelette and the Kennett Square Omelette. Both were delicious! My boyfriend and family have had the Huevos Rancheros--which looked amazing and I was told it was delicious. Looked like a lot of food too, so if you want something more filling and hearty, I'd get that over the omelettes. They've also had the breakfast sandwiches, which looked like a steal for the price and very good as well. The coffee, hot chocolate and tea is great too, and fairly priced! I get a drink every time, and they make sure you have refills, sugar, honey, whatever you want with it. Overall I recommend this place as a pretty good option if you're in Media!

It was a bustling yet comfortable little restaurant, split into two separate rooms. My daughter and I sat on the side with the grill, which had extra windows since it's on "The Corner" and some nice green plants that brightened things up a little more. The Huevos Rancheros didn't disappoint - I ordered mine with the coffee rubbed short rib. It really was good and it was cooked perfectly. The crispy potatoes were so good and actually crispy, unlike most other places that just have a little crisp to them. I adore home fries, and they can be hard to cook just right, so I really enjoyed these. The service was great and the waitress was so friendly. Oh, and there was an earthquake while we were there - and my daughter was the only one who even felt it LOL Overall, it was a yummy and fun visit. I'm glad I finally got to try it out, and I will definitely go again sometime.

I placed my order, got my silverware and table number and sat down to wait for them to bring it out, very efficient way to do things. When my food arrived, an omelet with mushrooms, onions, sweet Italian sausage, and cheddar cheese, my eyes grew wide. Before digging in I popped a stray mushroom that was sitting on top of omelette before taking the photo. Immediately noticed the amount of flavor of the mushroom alone, it prompted me to ask if they were marinated, the chef/owner came out after I was done and said she takes baby bella mushrooms, cuts them up and sautees them in salt pepper garlic, "no cans here' she said and you can tell. Upon digging into the omelette I found it to be loaded with the ingredients I had chosen, even distribution, I mean just look at that cross section!

I appreciate having the right size portions so I can enjoy but not need a carry out container. The service consisted of two ladies in the dining room and they seemed to complement each other by overlapping duties, if one was busy the other would step up and help out. I have noticed that at other restaurants, one server will let another drown with duties and never help out, I enjoyed seeing the team work in action today. The restaurant itself is a well designed environment even the Men's Restroom was interesting and well kept. When I am in the area, I would definitely eat here again for the good food, in proper portions and a clean restaurant.

    Today was a happy accident. Originally the search was for a place that we had assumed was in…read moreNewtown Square, but was actually in Newtown; much too far to go to for an impromptu breakfast unless we were prepared for a small trip. However, this is the circumstances that led me to Rolling Stars. Not knowing what to expect whatsoever, except that I read that they served bagels, I was blown away by the offerings and the quality of everything they have, and will definitely be coming back to try some other menu items in the near future! Not only do they make almost everything from scratch, homemade here, with the bagels obviously being their signature item, everything is fresh, bold and wonderful. They even have a daily soup that is prepared by hand, that is available all day long, even for breakfast. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know that this is a game changer for me. Their coffee drinks are very good, and while not the best I have had, they are fun, tasty and they will make special additions simply if you've ask. In my case I ordered a simple cappuccino but they added little heart sprinkles for Valentine's Day since it is upcoming, even though the drink doesn't have them. The biggest problem I had was trying to decide what to actually choose from the menu because I was faced with way too many options that I wanted. I ultimately went with "the Bella", a portobello sandwich, which comes on your choice of bread, or any of their bagels, of which I chose the egg everything. Within a few bites I knew that this was easily within the top three bagel sandwiches I had ever had, and I am very critical of bagels and have had a TON of bagels and bagel sandwiches, coming from a kosher deli family. I also had the soup of the day which was a brilliant chicken noodle with awesome large macaroni elbows that just totally kicked it up. In our entire visit we only encountered one thing that was bothersome and it wasn't with my food but with our table's, and this was likely due to expectations. The jalapeño cheddar bagel is simply a plain bagel with a slice of cheddar and diced jalapeños on top. Now it was still outstandingly delicious, but I feel like we were under the impression it would be cooked into the dough and the entirety of the bagel. This wasn't the case and I can't knock them for it because it was still fantastic; aesthetics be damned! You should definitely visit here if you have not been here yet, and I can guarantee you will be coming back again and again. I cannot wait to go back, and I didn't even touch on the crazy awesome bagel chips that come with nearly everything!
