For streetphotography I am looking for a nice lens that can do subject isolation rather well.
Is this what I am looking for?

Yes it is. Easily Canons best Non L prime also. You can really blow the background out and it focuses extremely fast. The 85 1.8 is one of Canons fastest focusing lenses by the way.
Also I wouldn't consider IS if you're photographing people. You will want a shutter speed of at least 1/100-1/125 minimum to freeze subject motion anyways.
IS will mainly only be useful when shooting people when using a focal length longer than 135mm (or FF equiv.) (another one of Canons primes).
The 85 1.8 is excellent for street photography, couple examples:
