    Cute exterior
    Kelly M.

    We wanted some coffee and found this cafe. The outside is charming. The inside is a little crowded - ok a lot crowded - but thankfully there were only a few others inside when we were ordering. The people were helpful. The cappuccino was stellar. The pastry.. not so much. Sitting outside and enjoying the ambience was worth it.

    Coffee!

    We have been to this delightful cafe year after year and were a bit sad when we saw the name change. But we had to check it out before passing judgement, and we were so pleasantly surprised!! Not only have the delicious coffee expectations kept up to standards, but may even have improved! We got house coffee without cream and both loved it! So tastey! We also got sandwiches. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich and loved how spicy and fresh it was! I got the BLT special and LOVED it! It was so crisp, fresh, and flavorful! The ambiance and atmosphere is wonderful! One of my least favorite things about the last place was that you couldn't get on WiFi. Now, they have WiFi, which makes it a much more viable hangout! Great coffee, food, atmosphere, and friendly staff: what more could you want? We look forward to returning to this cafe long into the future! P.S. Thanks for being open on New Year's Day! Happy 2020!

    Lukewarm Irish Escape

    Most of the good reviews are from when this place was Seven Stones Cafe. It's had new owners for a little over a year and is now called Cafe Isla. Oh how I miss my 40 plus days a year sitting outside with a great coffee or latte and a pastry. No one of course like changes but I've been patient for about 11 months in hoping Café Isla would improve. Today was my 7th visit in a year( way down from 40). They say that's WiFi but it doesn't connect. The playlist although really good is too loud outside for you to be able to converse with your dining partner if you sit at any of the 3 tables near the building. These empty tables were never empty under previous ownership Inside The guy behind the counter had to ask me to repeat my order. My Irish Latte was barely warm not hot today. How does that happen? He handed it to me when I was in line. My muffin was dry and stale. I guess you get whatever is leftover from Friday on a Monday morning??? I guess I'll be back to just grab a coffee to go sometime but since it's worse than last time I can tell you it's only going to be occasionally. And I'll ask them to ensure my hot beverage is indeed hot. And I'll skip the muffins

    Came here after a three-year hiatus since we moved to New Hampshire. The name is changed. The staff, menu, ambiance, and vibe is as good or better than before. There are a few more outside tables for the large crowds and several more umbrellas. Other than that, it's a Media institution. We got here on Memorial Day on a whirlwind trip but we had enough time to see the Media Memorial Day parade and we came over a couple of hours before to have brunch at the old Seven Stones, now Isla. My husband and sister had delicious quiches and I had the Power Protein Breakfast Sandwich, a multigrain bagel with egg whites, tomatoes, and spinach. And on top, I ordered a slice of lox. I added a dash of salt and a squirt of Tabasco and had it with my regular large almond milk latte, this time with LaColombe coffee. As usual, it was an amazing brunch with al fresco seats, people watching, enjoying a delicious Spring day and waiting for the parade.

    Harmony latte and flourless chocolate cake

    Tried this place out on a chilly day. I appreciated the seating outside in the courtyard. I got the recommended Harmony drink which is basically a dirty chai with vanilla and cinnamon. Also got a piece of the flourless chocolate cake. I like the combination of the two together. Each by themselves I don't think I would do again. Outdoor seating, no indoor. Nice staff.

    Black n White and Harmony Latte

    Nice chic cafe shop located in the heart of Media. It's a small place with unique coffee options. They have a small sit down area. I did not see table service, so I guess you order and then seat yourself. There was a small area in the front outside where you can enjoy the sunshine during warm weather. We had 'Harmony Latte' and 'Black and white' coffee. My latte was sweet with a hint of cinnamon flavor and smell. It tasted very well for an evening drink. My wife ordered Black and white which basically was hot chocolate with coffee. But it was very sweet. So, didnt enjoy that much. The place was reasonably full on Sunday evening. They had other baked options which I found a bit expensive. Overall, nice place to have coffee.

    We stopped into this café after grabbing some breakfast on the street and needing a little more caffeine for the road. What we found was a very cute local spot that is serving up some great drinks. Two of us ended up with a harmony latte, and while I don't remember exactly what was in it, I remember how delicious it was! It was of sort of beverage that you make everyone around you try because it's so good. My best half had some sort of a latte that infused a red tea into it and it too was pretty amazing. There is seating for probably 30 people in a room just off the main coffee bar and there is a courtyard just outside. The whole place just screams of relaxing, catching up and enjoying something delicious. We were super full by the time we got here, but everything food wise looked amazing and if the quality of the beverages is any indication, I suspect that it's doing just fine! Great spot, great beverages, this is the place you should definitely try.

    Irish Potato Latte

    Really nice local coffee cafe in Media. My GPS had a hard time finding it as it's on Plum Street, but it's the part of Plum that's for pedestrians only. It's very close to the Olive Street lot by the courthouse. I was extremely lucky to visit on a nice day and grab a table outside. I had the Irish potato latte and an almond crossant. The cafe seemed to be very popular, which always makes me happy to see small businesses doing well.

    The best!!

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!

Originally, I went on the website to see all what was featured & the photos themselves looked too good to be true ( or so, I thought.) I had only decided on the Banana Milk Tea (not pictured) before actually heading to the store & figured I'll just pick the food at random when I arrive. Upon entering, I was greeted & said I'd need a minute as the menu was of decent size. The cashier had mentioned to me that all of Mochiatsu Franchises are different so the ONLINE MENU's WILL VARY. I did see online that there was a "Nutella Croffle" which I absolutely love Nutella but this particular franchise location did not carry that flavor. **Be sure to check your franchises location for their own menu** Anyway, I decided on a Strawberry Croffle & 2 donuts. Figures, I can't remember which 2 flavor donuts I picked but, OMG now this was some dessert! So glad I didn't end up at Wawa for some ice cream like I normally would have. These were freshly made, flaky & soft. The Croffle was sticky & a little harder to pull apart than the donuts (it's supposed to be) but man these were such a good ending to my night. The inside of Mochiatsu is cute & I'd say it's a relaxing atmosphere. If I didn't go later at night I'd of stayed to have my tea & get some work done on the computer. I'd of pictured the Banana Milk Tea but it was so good I chugged it on my way home. Needless to say, I'll be back & if you haven't gone yet I'd definitely give this place a try!

    We happened to be in Media for a late morning checking out the Free Shop for the very first time, a…read moreplace I had never heard about when we decided that a bite ti eat was necessary before heading up to the Glen Mills area for my younger daughter's haircut. After walking down State for about a block, we settled on 320 as a good place to stop to get something that would be tasty but also quick enough to get us in and out the door in enough time to be on our way but also provide a wide enough selection for the three of us to select something that we each wanted. Being fans of 320 Market in Swarthmore, I was used to this place when we went inside, although it is markedly different from the location that we usually go to. The space is a little bit more sparse and feels less like a market than the one in Swarthmore, but the staff is still nice, and the colors are bright, and the selections are still wide and vary across the spectrum of flavors enough to make everyone happy. I ordered pierogis at the counter as did my daughter, and my wife ordered spanakopita and then we were told to take a seat anywhere we liked. I do know that they obviously had to prepare everything fresh which is one reason that we like 320, but I also know, the spanakopita is coming from a much larger sheet and the pierogis only have to be fried and plated. For some reason things were taking an extremely long amount of time. The spanakopita came out relatively quick but was a little cold in the center. Still tasted delicious, but not ideal. However, the pierogis took forever. Not sure why because this was prime lunch time, around 11:30 and they weren't busy. Either way, when they did come out, they were played brilliantly, but I had to ask the wonderful guy at the counter to put them into containers so that my daughter and I could take them with us due to our fine constraints. He was more than happy to help and did his best to arrange them nicely in the containers, but for some reason the manager seemed to have a problem with the fact we ordered them to sit down and then asked to have them put into containers. He protested to some extent, albeit not directly to me, but when I looked in his direction alarmedly (which I'm not sure is even a word, lol) he simply stopped and went back to his other conversation). Even after our fifteen minute drive, the pierogis were superb and obviously made by hand from scratch. While I do like the other 320 Market location better and go there much more frequently just based on proximity to my home, this one was also good. I would go here again, and if you are in Media and need a good place for well-made delicious foods and interesting beer and wine that you won't find anywhere else, this is definitely your spot to go. There are many different choices of restaurants in Media to select from, but this is one place that is set up a bit differently, more like a "market" as described in its name. Go and check them out if you've never been, I bet there's something there that you'll enjoy!

    Market 320 is such a gem! We stopped in and tried the chimichurri wings (they were on special) and…read morethe tofu sandwich--both were delicious. The wings were packed with flavor and had a great kick, and the tofu sandwich was fresh, filling, and really well done. The service is quick and friendly, and there's a cool mix of offerings--plenty of fresh, made-to-order options, plus take-home meals if you're in a rush. The pizza smelled amazing as soon as we walked in, so that's definitely on our list to try next time. They also carry a smaller selection of fresh produce and grocery items, along with a bunch of unique snack choices you won't find just anywhere. Perfect place for a quick bite, a fun snack haul, or to grab something easy for later. We'll definitely be back!
