Café Isla

Very good food and service, especially for a small coffee shop. Cozy atmosphere that encourages friendly conversation between strangers. I've met some fascinating people there (I hired one of them).

No WiFi. Not for people who prefer a national brand sort of coffee shop.

Being from a more rural area and visiting for a wedding. So nice to find a place where my spouse can eat gluten free safely (celiac). A very nice breakfast. Lovely to sit outside and relax.

I ordered an egg and cheese sandwich and it had bacon on it. I let them know and they just picked it off, it still tasted like bacon and there was a piece left on the plate. I also realized they had charged me extra for the meat. That was not cool.

The artsy, comfortable, almost snug atmosphere of Seven Stones lulls one into a false sense of security. The coffees are rich, and enticing; offering a selection of bitter flavors to balance the sweetness of the many pastries available. But, don't be fooled! The friendly waitstaff, who expertly wage war on your waistline are just waiting for you to drop your guard! A momentary slip, and BAM! ...you're confronted with smooth, calming Chai. Insidious.

Best bakery I've been to since Petit Four shut down in Olde City. Real ingredients, real skill, attention to the balance of flavors, the perfect bake. Whoever is baking this food is the real deal.

Gone down hill since new name and ownership. Definitely won't be going here anymore. They messed up my order and then seemed angry when I asked them about it.

I'd be willing to talk to the owner about it if they are interested. Otherwise, they have lost a customer that's been going there for years.

I had previously given this place 5 stars.

Seven Stones is an awesome local coffee shop with an earthy-hippie vibe, but it's much more as well. Grab the handle to enter through the courtyard and you'll notice right away that this place is different - they re-purposed a spoon on one door and a fork on the other for handles.
Of course you're going to get awesome coffee, standards like lattes and mochas, but they also have hot cider and signature lattes and some very creative mixes that are delicious.
They sell pre-made wrapped sandwiches at the counter, but also all sorts of made-to-order as well. They also have Homemade Quiche served on a bed of greens made with Organic Free Range Eggs and baked on premise. Varieties of Spinach Cheese, Ham Cheese and Gluten Free Spinach and Cheese.
Another really cool aspect is their partnership with E3 Garden. All of their veggies are from E3. E3garden is an urban farm that specializes in growing fresh “live” lettuces, greens, herbs, microgreens, and seedlings 365 days a year using sunlight, natural methods and the latest technologies to save energy, water, and minimize impact to the environment. So, they're delicious and respectful to the planet - very cool.

I’ve been coming to Cafe Isla for years. It has the best coffee in the tri-state area. I especially love their cappuccinos. All their vegetarian food selections are delicious!

Love this little gem in Media! Tucked off the main Street and it's still always busy! Good food, GREAT coffee and espresso drinks, lots of other drink options (teas and refrigerated drinks), tons of outdoor seating!

OK coffee, the barista kept asking me what I wanted even though I was not ready, and no Wi-Fi -- should have researched if they had Wi-Fi before, so that is my fault. But they have a great placement! Plus a lot of delicious looking baked goods and a cool list of unique lattes
