The iced coffee had too much syrup flavor in it, but the skillet hash was very good and the food came out at a good time. It was nice and hot and i enjoyed it very much!! They also have a lot of menu options to choose from and have a good variety of healthy choices as well as big breakfast meals. It was my second time here, as i go to other breakfast places on the main line, but turning point is a good, easy, comfortable breakfast location near Villanova. read more

Turning Point - Omelets - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

Very poor service- delay in seating and food delivery despite ordering as soon as we were seated 1 dish came out cold. Waitress was incredibly rude. Only good thing was food but frankly wasn't worth the experience. read more

I'm shocked by negative reviews, Been there 3 times. Superb, creative fresh food for breakfast and lunch. Novel dish combinations. Very pleasing ambience with lots of light, privacy and fine landscaping seen through tall windows. Choose counter or tables. A young serving staff. Be grateful you have them. read more

We have been there three times. There is always a wait, but I always see that asa good sign! Pros- -the food has been consistently good -interesting menu choices, especially egg entrees -staff is always upbeat and personable Nays- -plates and glasses have been dirty each visit...From cloudy water glasses to crusty egg on my daughter's Mac/cheese plate -hair found on food and in hot chocolate:( -slow service read more

Friendly staff (which is a plus in the main line). The food is consistent and good. One suggestion to the owners/management is to replace all the coffee creamer containers. I have had multiple experiences when these containers are not clean inside (which is likely a health code violation). I can see how the container would be difficult to clean and easy for staff to miss BUT it is unsanitary to have food inside the creamer containers. Please do yourselves and your customers a favor and replace these containers with creamer containers that can easily be cleaned and sanitary. read more

Great breakfast and brunch place located in the mainline! Server was attentitive, besides forgetting one order but friendly. Food is good-portion and quantity. Recommending to friends! read more

Did not expect to LOVE this place so much. Fun and attentive waitstaff. Fresh squeezed OJ. The coffee (they just give you the whole carafe which is the way it should be) was 100% organic and delicious/strong. Plenty of water (again the whole pitcher - the way it should be). AND we tried all of the classics - fresh delicious eggs, PERFECT HOME FRIES, bomb avocado toast, and just look at the picture of the chocolate chip pancakes!! Also it was their 20th anniversary and we got 20% off so it could not have been more perfect. Will be back, will tell lots of people about it. read more

Something has happened to this place??? Great location, bright and airy decor, good menu - been here many times. That said, we will not be returning - suffered 'reverse discrimination' from an entirely African American staff - waited 15 min for a table, African American group (the same size as our) came in, had a 'quiet chat' to the staff and were immediately seated and served ahead of us. We waited a further 10 minutes to be seated and another 15 for our order. Extremely slow service!!!! (Which we have experienced before-they claim it is slow as everything is made fresh/I think it is more an excuse). There are better and friendlier places on the mainline read more

This past weekend we headed to Turning Point for brunch. We were there at 8:06am - bright and early - and were able to be seated immediately. I hate to sound cliche, but first, coffee. My husband ordered their special Ice Coffee (it was on a menu insert) - the ice cubes were made from coffee so it didn't get watered down as you took your time to enjoy it. It definitely needed some simple syrup added to get his preferred amount of sweetness (which isn't a lot). I on the other hand had the NUTTY IRISHMAN. It was delicious - the hazelnut flavor was just right. I'm not a fan of the hazelnut garnish, mostly because wet nuts aren't that good and they just get in the way, but the drink itself was very good. Not sure it's worth the price, but it is my second time ordering it, so what do I know? Our server was a little on the slow side - we have a gut feeling it was his first day, but he was friendly and kind. It did take quite a bit of time to get our food, but once we left I think I realized why - they only open at 8am, so we were among their first customers. I ordered the classic benedict. The hollandaise sauce was pretty good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I wasn't a fan of the virginia ham (it was a texture thing), but all in all it was a solid dish. I do wish the potatoes were cooked a little more - they come off as squishy instead of crispy. My husband had a basic omelet that he customized to his liking - he had no complaints other than he thought he may have accidentally gotten turkey sausage (oh the humanity). The kids meals are a bit overpriced for a breakfast, but they do have a good variety to choose from. Our kids had scrambled eggs and french toast "volcanoes" that we let them share. They both ate as much as a two year old can/should. All in all, we enjoyed our breakfast and will go back. It was a good, A-okay breakfast. read more

The Turning Point is downright terrible. I wanted to like it so much -- in search for a morning breakfast spot -- but after five or six visits, I simply cannot will myself to see it as anything but the overpriced establishment it is. The complaint only begins there, however, as the food is mediocre, and the service among the worst I've experienced at any restaurant in that often the service is simply absent. Do not go here. There are many alternatives, such as Ardmore Station Cafe, Nudy's, etc... here's to hope the Turning Point finds a turning point or goes out of business -- we'll all be better for it. read more

the service was absolutely terrible. Went out with my friends and our server called their own menu terrible before we could order. We ordered anyways and food was okay, just took a long time to come. People who were seated after us were served first which was weird. read more

Service in Bryn mawr is as bad as service in Hoboken. Seems like the owner/managers asks employees to be efficient so as to not waste (time/ electricity/etc) by. Effects to realize that they are losing business (through cancelled orders/etc) because they'd rather cook all of the bacon all at once rather than take care of the customers that are IN their restaurant already... We had to ask for the check 3 times and ended up having to walk up to the register to pay and finally leave. read more

Great fresh food. The fruit tasted as it was perfectly picked to be served on my plate. Their menu has a nice variety of choices and the whole menu is available. I recommend chai tea. I was able to fill my cup up multiple times. Will definitely return more often. Is worth the extra drive read more

Four out of five stars for the food, price, and variety! Four of us came to Turning Point on a rainy Saturday afternoon and the place was packed! We were told the wait would be about 20 minutes, but noticed a lot of empty tables that had not yet been cleared. The young staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but the place was definitely bustling that day. The atmosphere and decor is straight out of a Mainline girl's Pinterest board. Very Cape Cod. I liked the bright and airiness to the place, I must say. We were seated at a table for four that was missing a chair...the hostess didn't seem to notice so I awkwardly borrowed one from a couple at a four person table nearby. Our waitress came over in no time and quickly sold us on the French press coffee, a true delight! I'm glad we gave in. The sugar rock candy that comes with each cup is a fun detail. I was really impressed with the variety of the menu and had a hard time choosing between dishes since they all sounded so enticing. I went for the Big Easy Benedict which I'd rate a solid 3.5 out of 5. The Creole seasoning was a bit heavy-handed for my palette, but I appreciated their boldness. The cornbread was soft and crumbly, and gave the dish a nice sweetness. They were one for two with the poached egg, which is a major bummer in my book. One was perfectly soft, with a runny yolk while the other was far too hard. And come to think of it, the chorizo was hard to find in the dish. I would have liked to see some more. Overall, it was an enjoyable and more adventurous dish for me, solidly executed and rounded out with a healthy side of fresh fruit. As we all know, any good brunch with friends needs a sweet for the table. We went with The King French toast, which left something to be desired by my estimation. The best French toast should be completely saturated in egg mixture so that the inside bread is also fluffy, like a souffle. I expected this from Turning Point, but instead this French toast was a bit closer to diner quality. Thick, yes. But only with browned sides, and a dry inside. The peanut butter cream cheese spread was a nice touch, but could have been a more indulgent portion. Overall, I have to say that the food was totally satisfying but not the best brunch I've had in the area. That being said, my stomach and wallet were both happy at the end of the meal. For its location, the prices are definitely more friendly to a student budget. The service was pleasant and the food was good enough to convince me to give them another shot sometime! read more

Turning Point - Rock candy , nice touch! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

(4) ~ very good overall for Brunch Food & Service. NOTES: They offer complimentary coffee(House Blend) in the small lobby upon entering. And b/c it can get crowded, make sure to order both your Savory & Sweet items all at once, just to be safe;) Lastly, if you plan to be a Regular, get one of their "Perk Loyalty Club" cards, for additional benefits;) FAVORITE FRENCH PRESS COFFEES: Comes with their own small timers, so it's brewed perfectly. And it's large enough to Share with at least (2) people;) ** House Blend = (4.25) Very good & my favorite. It's Organic & local from Cowabunga Coffee Roasters in Warrington, PA;) ** Hawaiian Kona = (4) very good FAVORITE OTHER DRINKS: ** Water(tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered ** Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice = (4) very good & yes it's freshly squeezed;) FAVORITE SAVORY FOODS: ** Avocado Toast w. two Eggs(sunny) & Chicken Sausage(side) = (4.25) Very good & my favorite. Note: Ask for some Tabasco Sauce to make it even better;) ** Wilbur Skillet = (4) very good, especially when you use the included English Muffin to make open face sandwiches;) FAVORITE SWEETS: ** Grand French Toast = (4.25) Very good & traditional. My favorite:) Order the REAL Maple Syrup, which costs extra, but it's definitely worth it;) And you can get one, two -or- three slices depending on your appetite;) ** S'mores Hot Chocolate = (4) very good, and you can mix it with your Coffee and make it a Mocha;) read more

Fabulous service and food & coffee. We got turkey chili, eggs Benedict and a Cubano sandwich. All delicious! It was a 25 minute wait at 11 on a Saturday morning, but well worth the wait!! We'll be back!! read more

I love going out for breakfast, and my goal is to try all the spots I can around my home. After a yelp search, I decided this place would be the next place on my list to try. My family and I stopped in today for breakfast, and we could not have been happier with the food, the service, and the experience overall. I absolutely love pancakes, but often don't order them and opt for a healthier choice. But at Turning Point, you can order a flight of pancakes, allowing you to try a few different types, while still ordering something else! The three of us split the protein pancakes, the blueberry lemon, and the cinnamon roll. They were fantastic, my 1.5 year old loved them. I also ordered an omelet, and my husband a breakfast bowl with sweet potatoes. The food was delicious, and they serve large portions. They also leave a pot of coffee on the table, which I love! I hate bothering people for refills. We got there early and it was quiet, but started to fill up as we left. It's a great spot, you should try it! read more

Loved my experience here. Went for fathers day during the lockdown, so it was all outdoor seating. It was clean, great food and great service. Would and will go back again. I recommend to anyone who loves a good breakfast spot! read more

First time at this Turning Point location and the food was just about the exact same as the previous locations I've visited-very good! Huge selection of coffee and tea! On a Sunday morning it was packed with about 20 people waiting outside. Luckily we had called ahead and only waited about 20 min. Once we sat down it took a while to be greeted and served, and then forever to get the check and eventually pay. Overall great experience and would go back! read more

This location is working with new staff, so patience is needed. For example, one of the cashiers only knew how to run a credit card and wasn't comfortable with cash for a breakfast of less than $20. The Wilbur skillet was OK but I wouldn't order for take out. The English muffin was barely toasted. The staff also forgot my coffee, which I waited a little longer to take with me. That's what I mean by patience is needed. With staffing challenges across different businesses, this experience wasn't a surprise. read more

An "experience place" - high-end coffee blends, "scratch" kitchen dishes and unique dish combinations - that is if you have time to wait for a table and a pricey-menu. Clearly, the wait staff has been trained to ramp up check totals and sell. And, "scratch" does not mean that their is substitutions. No pancakes instead of an English Muffin that sat on the plate hard and crusty, especially when it was not wanted. Pancakes were a separate order. Kim was well-informed on what to recommend and what she preferred - but just too rehearsed and scripted. I thought I was in a used car lot. The dining room is a large enough room to accommodate waiting and anxious patrons. This is how Kim shined, politely but thinly veiled "I need your table" and is there anything else you need? The French press coffee table service is full-flavored and a real treat. read more

Turning Point is a really cute place, definitely makes you feel like you're at the beach. Menu is very large and they have a lot of awesome teas, coffees, and smoothies to choose from as well. I think the food is pretty average which is why I give it three stars. I've never been super impressed with it and don't think it compares to other brunch places in the area like Nudy's. Had the Chop Chop Salad and the chicken fingers that came on the salad were luke warm and very chewy. read more

Really like this brunch place actually. Good portions, good food, good juice. Surprised by the 3 stars. Just don't get seated near the restroom. read more

I feel obligated to let everyone know this is my first yelp review and I'm happy to say it is for my brunch at turning point. Brunch began with coffee. Not a cup of coffee, but a whole pot. Why would turning point does this you ask? For my convenience and I ducking love it. The food was great, obviously. As brunch finished up the waitress asked if I wanted a to-go cup. Again, who does this you ask? Turning point does. This wasn't a shit cup either, this cup was made for kings. I've attached a picture of the to-go cup for your convenience. Hopefully, you can see this cup because it's great. Have a great day. Go birds. read more

I came here with my husband, kids, and mother-in-law for brunch on my birthday. Maybe they were having an "off" day, or maybe our particular server just didn't want to be there. The service was so slow it was comical. It took 30 minutes to get our coffee and latte, which came out at the same time as our food (which is very odd for a brunch spot). The server said they were backed up with the coffee, but there were a lot of open tables and staff wandering around with no sense of urgency (I think they forgot about our coffee because other people who came in after us, received their coffee and food before we even got our coffee). The server did take the coffee off of our bill, which was why I'm giving this two stars and not one. For the food: the eggs benedict was very good but the potatoes were cold. My son's pancakes were burnt on one side and hard (not fluffy). I didn't want to send them back b/c we had already been waiting for so long. My other kid ordered the skillet which was supposed to come with an english muffin, but it didn't (we eventually asked for it and they brought it out). I'll probably stick to Sabrina's or other brunch spots in the future. read more

I was here for a business breakfast on a Friday morning. I had the Tuscany Omelette and it was delicious. We had polite and quick service. They do not take reservations, but on a weekday morning that usually isn't a problem. They always seem to be quite packed on Saturday and Sunday. read more

Eaten at the bar twice and it's a perfect spot to get a good daytime meal. Lots of menu options, not over priced, friendly staff. Post review update- I've been a couple times since and the food has been, meh. Which is too bad... Bryn Mawr needs a great brunch place. * i have been back a couple times since my last review and sadly the food has gone way down hill. Takes forever to come out, comes out cold or burnt and they serve fake maple syrup with pancakes-yuck :( read more

waited approximately 30 minutes after being seated for food. We were told kitchen staff had to cut more turkey and it was taking longer than usual. After looking around resturant it appered that everyone was waiting an unusually long time. finally we had to leave without receiving our meal. The waitress did the best she could in being polite but after running out of excuses became frustrated. The wait staff is trainned to look straight ahead to avoid eye contact with unhappy abd hungry custoners. Food is decent but the service and wait time is terrible. This type of service can ruin your day if you allow it too. we left ans went up the road to Guillifty where the staff was wonderful and servixe was quick read more

Every time I visit, it's great service and great food. All the Turning Point branches I've visited have been splendid.

Fantastic salad with grilled chicken, but I was surprised when I got in the car and the bag had no silverware or napkins . It's pretty hard to eat a salad with your fingers!!! read more

Dirtiest place and vile. Nasty wait staff - ordered vegetarian meal and it had ham in it!!!! This place should be shut down

My husband and I went to turning point today for the first time and it's very cute decor-wise. Server was friendly and very patient. Coffee was good and my kale juice was on the sour side but I liked it. The food itself was ok- I had the huevos rancheros and my husband had the multigrain pancakes. The inside of the pancakes weren't cooked but had decent flavor. I unfortunately got food poisoning from the huevos rancheros. I know this because it's the only thing I've eaten in the last 20 hours and since then I've been sick multiple times. Hopefully this is an isolated incident but I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else has gotten sick as well. read more

Bad experience. The best part about my breakfast here was the hot chocolate. Their drink menu is larger than the actual food menu and has lots of coffees, teas, frozen drinks, and hot chocolates. I got the s'mores hot chocolate and it was delicious. Other than that, it was terrible. I had the avocado toast, in which they obviously just threw some avocado in a blender and slapped it on bread. It was slimy and mushy and gross, covered with an ungodly amount of pepper. I ordered a side of bacon, which was maybe 2 and a half slices and charred. For $4. Attached a photo. They have the nerve to charge you $1.25 for each serving of syrup, what a rip off! My boyfriend got the salted caramel waffles, which he said were good, but a whopping $12. And finally I waited with the check on the table for 20 minutes, watching our waiter pass by several times without taking it. This place is too expensive for the poor food. read more

Turning Point is a wonderful place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! This place is as good as it gets! We have never had a bad meal here. All of the menu items can be customize upon request. The management, staff, and service are all great. If you have a wait it will be worth it. Think about it like this....would you want to dine in an empty restaurant? I for one would wonder why it is empty with Turning Point you wonder why it's crowded then you should take a moment to find out. Enjoy! read more

Tried a new restaurant in Bryn Mawr - The Turning Point. It was scrumptious! Can't wait to go back. Only open bfst, brunch, and lunch - closes at 3pm. Well worth the trip. I never had such light, fluffy and delicious waffles! Everything is made from scratch. Shout out to Matt and Jess (servers) who made our first visit a great experience! read more
