Turning Point has been a place that we have frequented as a group since it opened at Granite Run a few years ago. The highlight for me is always the fact that I can get a fresh French press of various different coffees with my breakfast, often sharing these with my friend. When we originally started coming to Turning Point everything was outstanding and fresh and new which may have been part of why I feel there has been a decline in the quality of experience here, while I may just be wrong. However, I feel that over time and several management changes, the feeling of quality has dissipated from the restaurant compared to the first year that it was open. It feels much more chain restaurant-y now and the seasonal food offerings are as exciting and everything seems to be made with zero effort and no zest for cooking. Whereas before, everything was served very fresh, bright, and hot, it simply doesn't have that feeling any longer. The coffee is still great, and the food is still good, but it's lacking a certain something. Coming here for the first time was actually what started me on my French press journey, and I actually enjoy a small personal size French press coffee every morning at home now ever since. If you haven't tried Turning Point yet, I definitely think you should. In the scheme of places that are similar, like First Watch and Nudy's, in my opinion this is the best. But I would prefer to go to a small family-owned place. That said, I still LOVE the fireplace in the winter! read more

(4.15) ~ Very good overall food & service. Note: Their Hot Sauce is Tabasco. Recommend they add a couple others, like Frank's Red Hot; Cholula's, etc. MENU: ** Marshmallow Mocha Brew = (4.35) Very tasty, did not even need to stir it b/c it tasted good as is;) ** Avocado Toast = (4.15) Very good, would be better with Bacon vs. Bacon crumbs... ** Cinnamon Rolls = (4) very good, although needed more cinnamon flavor... read more

There were no customers waiting when my wife and I went there at 11:30. The woman behind the computer and coffee bar said she'd be right with us. We stood there for about 5 minutes while she was using the computer. Then we sat for 10 more while she made coffee; she never said another word to us and no one else came. I told my wife, let's go and walked out when another woman finally showed up. By now, about 10 more people walked in. The woman said it would be 15 minutes. I hollered from the door, we had been waiting and ignored for 15 minutes already. We left. Don't go there unless you want to be ignored. This was our first and last visit! read more

Food, Service, & Ambiance were great. We had an extremely pleasant experience our meals were delicious and different.

I was very pleased and satisfied with Turning Point! It was my first time there and I was greeted by kind staff members and enjoyed delicious food and drinks! I ordered the marshmallow cold brew, such a unique concept and loved the flavor! The western omelette was a great size for the price and tasted good! read more

This place is cute for breakfast. The service is always good. They have a lot of options on the menu. I would say the food is kind of like average dinner food as far as quality. The one thing I didnt like, we ordered scrambled eggs and it tasted funny. We found out they don't use real eggs for scrambled eggs... they use a mix or something. We didnt like it and now we know when we go we need to make sure to either not get eggs or ask for real eggs. read more

More options than a lot of brunch spots. I'm personally not a fan of American brunch as it's simple dishes you can make yourself, so I felt like it was just okay. I got the home sweet hash and thought it was decent, a bit overpriced for the amount I got. Food came out in a timely manner but our server took our food away before we were finished and said that they could tell when people are finished. This bothered me because they should really ask if we're done instead of making assumptions. read more

Pretty standard brunch/breakfast food. Friendly staff, quick service. My tropical crunch waffle was cooked well and the fruit was fresh. Not bad, just not particularly impressed by it. Maybe the savory items are more where it's at, would be open to trying it next time I'm around. read more

The food here is great! My fiancé had the lobster shrimp and grits. I had the lobster Benedict. One thing I will say is that I was extremely pleased with the size of Shrimp and lobster. We, the people, love & appreciate it!! The only thing that had me say meh was the cornbread. I think I would have been happier if it was warm. Cold corn bread sticks to the roof of my mouth haha. Other than that we most definitely recommend this location for a brunch, especially if you are passing through Media. We will be back! read more

The food was great with generous servings. The service was excellent. And the atmosphere was very nice. But the printed bill was another thing. My bill was $34 and a tip of $20% would be $6.80. But on the printed slip it indicates that a 20% tip would be $9.50. I've never thought that I needed to do the math on the suggested tip but I will from now on. read more

I stopped by here after my dentist appointment. Thankful my teeth were in great shape and since the place was nearby. I got French press toasted almond coffee. I accidentally spilled it like a fool on my way back- depending on the carry crate they provided for the cups. I should have just put them in the unused cup holders in the car to begin with. I called and said I was willing to pay for another (set of) cups again. They wouldn't charge me and I left a bigger tip instead. The waitress told me it wasn't necessary but I gave her the tip anyway. On a Monday, where it is typically not a bigger tip day sorta thing. read more

The coffee was hot and the waitress was nice. I asked for eggs wet/loose/lightly cooked and home fries well done. What I got was overcooked eggs, undercooked home fries and a very lightly toasted English muffin with no crispy nooks or crannies. :( Nice front end staff though. read more

I am redoing my original PRE Covid review after many visits since. TP has exceptional quality offerings. Service is really good. Comfortable seating, lighting and atmosphere. Today the fireplace is lit providing a warm ambience. But none of that matters unless The food is tasty. And it is here. I've probably enjoyed 40% of what they offer. Comparatively, their juice prices are better than elsewhere. Their coffee is substantial in what you may consume. Happy to say i really love it here. read more

Simple but tasty. Berry Peachy French Toast was what my older daughter ordered. She said it was good and not overly sweet. My younger daughter ordered the breakfast combo. She have been having stomach issues lately but manage to devour 75% of her meal. I think that speaks for itself. I ordered the lobster eggs Benedict. It was phenomenal. It was fresh and made to perfection. Our server was very bubbly and personable which made the ambience even more lovely. Will return. read more

Food and service always consistently amazing. Very clean and the ambiance is cute and cozy.

This is a go to breakfast spot for me. I come here for breakfast dates and girls brunches. They coffee is great and it's so fun the way it is served. I usually order a cold brew with cold foam and hazelnut. You get about two cups of cold brew maybe a bit more. A small container of the hazelnut and a small container of the sweet foam and you sorta do it yourself. I love it! Can't complain about the food either, the breakfast combo is my go to and I get the Belgian waffle with it which is my favorite item! The service is always good they don't rush you out. They give you your time and are always very pleasant. read more

The new Server, Kelly, is fabulous. We'll come to the Granite Run location just for her! The bartender, Rene(e)?, is the best, and the food is absolutely phenomenal every time. Kale to the King is a great energy booster. read more

[1017] 11/2019 We visited this new Media breakfast spot due to my aunt's recommendation. I'm so glad we did as we are not disappointed. There is plenty of parking at this strip mall location. it's located outside of the Granite Run mall near Baltimore Pike. The place has really nice décor so it's very welcoming to come in and have a meal. The staff was very friendly and nice so that's a plus. We loved it all and here are a few things we tried. Cornbread French toast - We shard this and took some home. Best cornbread I ever tasted. Inside was fresh and outside toasted just enough. Coffee - They left a carafe on the table which was great. Avocado toast- First time trying it. I really enjoyed it. Huevos Rancheros - Hubby ordered this large dish and took plenty of it home with him. Popeye skillet- my meal was amazing. I had plenty for left over for lunch. Kid had scramble eggs - He enjoyed it and asked for seconds. My only wish is that they add "just eggs" to the menu so we don't have to purchase two "traditional egg" dishes at $6.49 each to feed my 10 year old kid. He usually eats 3 eggs and does not touch the potatoes or bread. He doesn't even want them on his plate. That was my only down part. We loved our meal. Glad we checked yelp as we were able to hold our spot and not wait in line so long. We did not feel rushed and will definitely be back. read more

This is a byob establishment. There is a Spirits store walking distance away. Mimosas were flowing after I picked up a bottle of champagne. The vegan pancakes and scrambled JUST Eggs were ok. The service was pleasant and the staff were very friendly. I sat outside and the weather was lovely and the area was clean. Nice local place. read more

How have I not reviewed this place yet?!? My favorite place near me for breakfast. When I think of going out for breakfast, this is one of the first spots I tend to think of.. Staff is always extremely friendly and the food is quite delicious. I have tried plenty of items from their menu- sandwiches, omelets, french press, to fancy coffees.. I have loved them all. I always order myself a savory and sweet dish to satisfy both my cravings. Lol. YOLO right?? Anyway, this most recent time, I had the pumpkin pancake and shakshuka. Oh man!!! Did it all hit the spot. The cook did forget the goat cheese in my shakshuka, but the server brought it right out. My daughter isn't a big veggies person right now, but she ate a good amount. She loved the ciabatta and dipped her heart out. As for the pumpkin pancake...yum! I only order 1 pancake instead of the big meal, but I sure wish I ordered the whole thing. It was topped with cream cheese and candied pumpkin seeds, not overly sweet which I loved. I will surely be back read more

Excellent eggs with goat cheese. Wonderful chicken sausage. Fantastic service. We will be back.

Great weekend brunch spot for families. The silver dollar pancakes were great as I wasn't that hungry. The turkey chili was lukewarm and watery, wouldn't get again. I love their selection of coffees and hot chocolates, they look and taste extravagant! read more

Great customer service. A lot of food served and was hot. No wait time. Clean restaurant read more

We walked into the place asking for a table for two and both staff members at the front acknowledged us but still continued their on going conversation to us walking in and prioritized finishing that for a good 20 seconds which made it very weird and unprofessional. Our waitress was amazing and everything else was great, just an off putting first impression. read more

Came here with my parents. I've been to the jersey city location and loved it. It's not amazing like some other spots but it's def a good spot with a variety of options. I got the breakfast skillet and the portion was just meh. The jersey city location gave more. Literally looked like I hardly had any egg and I asked for scramble. Now I wish I took a pic. But the other items were good and portioned well. So that's why I took a star away just for my meal. 5 stars go to the staff! They were all super friendly and the girl who served us was so kind and patient. I would come here again and give it another go and try something else instead. read more

I went here for the first time in over a year to meet up with a friend for Brunch. When you get there, you can either call the hostess or use Yelp to check in for a table. They had this feature before, but I do love it and want to shout it out again where you can get a live look at the waitlist to find out how much time before your table is ready. I had about a 35 minute wait, which I sat in the car due to the cold. Once inside, all of the booths are separated by a Plexiglas divider and you can either get a paper menu or scan for the digital menu. I loved using the digital menu but I did end up also using the paper menu my friend had. Our server was amazing. She did not rush us at all and even encouraged us to sit as long as we like to catch up. I had the vanilla chai tea latte and my friend got the dirty chai latte. I did not try hers but she said it was very good and mine was delicious. The food was great. I don't remember which omlette my friend got but she was very happy with her food and I got the shakshuka which was delicious! It was the first time I have heard / tried it and it was so good, definitely a new favorite breakfast item. I want to learn how to make it myself. The really cool thing that I loved actually came when paying the bill. The receipt had a QR code on it so you could scan it with your phone and pay your bill, but CC wasn't the only option to pay. You can pay with apple pay, google pay and venmo. LOVE IT. Also, it gave three options when paying. I could pay for 1 of 2 people, pay a dollar amount that I enter of the total bill or pick the items off of the bill that I want to pay for and it would calculate it. It even split the tip and everything. I CAN'T WISH FOR THIS ENOUGH AT EVERY RESTURANT. I really enjoy the Turning Point as a place to meet up with up with a girlfriend and get some delicious brunch food. read more

Turning Point is a cute little breakfast/brunch spot in Media. The food was good, and the service was great! The breakfast menu was good! Nothing that blew me away, but it was a tasty breakfast. A friend I was dining with did get the Ruben Turkey Melt from the lunch menu and said it had a little too much cheese for her liking (hence why some of it is pulled off in the picture), but was otherwise very good! I'm looking forward to returning and trying the lunch menu. I suggest giving Turning Point a try when deciding where to go to get breakfast/brunch in Media! read more

Everything about this place is phenomenal!!! The food, drinks, workers, and atmosphere!

Very un impressed by my food, my girlfriend felt the same. I ordered a side of bacon and didn't receive it , it took almost 3 minutes to flag down someone (not even our waitress) . Service seemed difficult to get attention of and it wasn't even a busy day read more

Had a great meal and experience. Friendly staff. The food is more pricy but worth it. Over all great experience. read more

Easter takeout brunch during COVID was our first experience at any Turning Point. My Dad raves about the one in Jersey so I was expecting good things. I really liked the family style brunch menu they were offering. They allowed us to pick our pick up time and we were able to pick from a certain list of limited menu options with a fresh bakery assortment and juice being included. We had some hiccups. We got home and realized they forgot a few things, one being our pancakes. We had to call and drive back to get them. The manager apologized profusely, was very kind and explained that it was the first time they had ever done such a big offering as far as takeout was concerned. I'm sure they were overwhelmed with business, too, since eating out was not an option due to the pandemic. I did understand that it was not a typical situation and I appreciated her apology. Luckily we don't live too far so going back, although inconvenient, wasn't a huge deal. The food for our brunch was pretty good. The bakery items were ok. The potatoes were delicious. The French toast with mascarpone was delicious. I preferred it to the pancakes. The cookies were pretty good. I do believe that this wasn't their best. I look forward to trying them out once the pandemic is over so we can sit down and eat under normal circumstances. Their takeout might be better on a non-holiday as well. I would recommend giving them a chance! There is plenty of parking available and they have outdoor seating. In a non-pandemic word they are only open until I believe 2 or 3. No dinner option, as they are a breakfast, lunch and brunch establishment. I'm not sure if they are closing down even earlier than that during covid. read more

The food was very good and the service was fast. Everything looked good and the portions were nice.

Great breakfast here; can't wait to go back for more! My go-to for my first time at a restaurant is always a chai latte and their vanilla chai did not disappoint (bonus points for bringing it out in a teapot that gave me a little over two servings of it!!). For breakfast, I was torn between the omelettes and the pancakes. I heard the pancakes were delicious and will definitely go back for these, but I ended up getting an omelette. It came with breakfast potatoes and an english muffin, and the omelette itself was huge. I finished half of it and brought half home for later. It was a weekday so there was no wait, but I can see it filling up on the weekends so definitely add yourself to the waitlist through the Yelp app. Staff was super friendly and the place was super clean. Definitely a good first experience here! read more
