    Kona mocha frappe
    Stan H.

    Quality food products and casual calm venue. I tried to come in Tuesday 8 AM and the place was closed even though their hours were 7-3 pm that day on the door and online. I figured I'd try Sat morning and they were open but no mile high du jour. I am being a bit picky because not as many specialty items are available now with all the craziness of 2020 and shipping and delivery issues. While this specialty item is on their website, it was not posted in the cafe appropriately so. It was still a slight disappointment nonetheless. Probably 4 star experience for most people. The vibes I got personally were a bit different for me for this experience. This cafe is connected with Di Fabio's and I tried to call them Tuesday morning/afternoon . Left a VM and never heard back through Sat. In-person, they told me they aren't open Tuesdays now or possibly later (at random implied). They indicated that they still need to update their opening sign on the doors. :/ Their seafood soup special isn't overly soupy and filled with good content. It didn't stand out for me being the casual foodie critic I am but it certainly did not disappoint. They also have shirts, assorted bakery, and bottles and a few drink machines w levers (punch or lemonade today). My receipt for take out items was thrown away and I didn't want to ask for receipt since it was already thrown away. I like to keep track of my purchases more astutely and there wasn't emailed receipts either. Parent store DiFabio's has some famed pistachio chicken fingers. They also offer pistachio chicken fingers/tenders here. Maybe next time. . . Friendly staff.

    Watery iced latte

    Both iced lattes were super watery. Not good. Also specifically asked for 16 Oz lattes and got 20oz lattes and was charged for 20oz. They forgot what I ordered so I had to remind them. Inside seating is dark. Outside seating is better if the weather is nice. Basic Breakfast sandwich is more expensive than other places and not worth it.never coming back. Over charged me and bad coffee.

    I have to say right off the bat that when I saw a pork roll, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel was $7, my first thought was that it was a little high. Then I saw it in my hands. It's freakin huge and full of eggs. While the bagel might not be on the level of a place that specializes in bagels, it's pretty good for this. And in the end, everything came together in a really damn good sandwich. Yeah. In the end it's worth the price. I was won over. I saw some bacon, egg, and cheese scones on the counter. Those looked extremely tempting. That's for next time for me. If you're really hungry, this sandwich is right up your alley.

    This little cafe is nothing short of ADORABLE. A once very "friends" type of coffee house under the previous owner, has been transformed into a bright, thoughtfully curated design, featuring old French country motifs in the chandeliers and antique furniture pieces. The breakfast sandwiches are VERY tasty, the coffee is great, and the staff is so incredibly sweet and helpful. Top-notch spot, I'll be coming back frequently!

    Brisket sandwich

    Marple location- Tastefully artistic ambiance and even tastier food and drinks! The brisket sandwich blew me away. Smoked to perfection!!!! I'm not a coffee person but the hot chocolate was amazing. The chef and barista were super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning

    Build Your Egg Sandwich - egg, pork roll, cheese, on a toasted sour dough bread with some corn salsa for good measure!

    The new Media Bean Cafe location: 204 S Newtown Street Rd Newtown Square is awesome. Great selections of unique coffees, teas, and smoothies. Also the best breakfast sandwich in the biz! My daughter loves the pancakes and French Toast. I come here every week. And very nice people on top of all that!

    Quaint tables, good for studying, friendly atmosphere

    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!

Went there Sunday AM at 10:00 and it was busy but we got seated relatively quickly. Server Alison was fantastic and while providing awesome service, the food and the ambiance were nice for a Sunday morning meal- obviously one of their busy shifts. We went back on Tuesday when the traffic was less but the service and food were both still awesome. The hostess recognized us from our previous visit and made us feel at home. First Watch is great if you want to pay $9 for bacon but Turning Point is an all around good choice!

It's nice inside, still new. Bar seating option and plenty of tables as well as a private parking lot. I was warmly greeted and lead to a table immediately. I did glance through the menu but knew what I wanted. Waffle, over easy eggs, and bacon. They have a decently priced combo which was perfect for me. Food came out quick and piping hot. I would ask them to delay the waffle for about 5 minutes next time so I can get a head start on my eggs and save the waffle for dessert. I've heard the coffee is good but I didn't have any on this visit.

Definitely will be going back to try everything else. They have wide variety of bread, cakes, pastries, sandwiches, and coffee/tea. The service was great- the staff were polite and helpful.
