Review Summary

The Famous Cosmos is described as an old school diner with a warm, nostalgic counter vibe and a small town feel that makes guests want to linger. The atmosphere is casual and lively, with stools at the bar, friendly chatter, and a sense of community that makes regulars and first-timers feel welcome. The menu earns strong praise for generous portions and solid flavors, especially the Mish Mash, popular breakfast staples, and comforting burgers and potatoes, all at very good value. Coffee is consistently highlighted as top notch, and service is noted as attentive and efficient even when seating is limited. While space can be tight and the setup simple, patrons appreciate the unpretentious, no frills ambiance and the quick, tasty fare that brings them back year after year, underscoring Cosmos as a staple breakfast and diner spot in NDG.

One of the unique breakfast spots my boyfriend took me to in NDG! What sets it apart is the interactive experience; we sat around the counter & heard the chef cook up a storm right in front of us. The sizzling sounds were amazing! The food was delicious, & I loved the bacon! Crispy perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant!

If Anthony is cooking you cannot go wrong, he makes incredible burgers, his potatoes always hit, he has not missed once. I love this place, it's an NDG gem!!

I came here when I was in university.
Back then it was $10 for the Mish Mash, with the'Man of Grease' at the helm.

Today, the restaurant looks the same but the owner is different.
The food is still excellent (even though the Mist Mash is separated into its component omelette & potatoes. With some fork work, it can be mixed back into essentially the old Mist Mash form.)

Cosmos is a staple of NDG & the food is excellent. We'll always go back.

Went there this morning on a whim, but truthfully I've been going to Cosmo's for years. 15 years ago, after exams at school nearby this was a spot where I would go for some comfort food. The food today is as great as ever! The classic dishes are the Creation & the Mish Mash (pic related) & those are what I would recommend for first-timers. The place has also undergone a bit of an overhaul. They now accept card, not just cash, & are available on Uber Eats. They also have merch for sale in-store! The vibe is always on point. Everyone there is very friendly & that naturally generates conversation. Overall if you make the pilgrimage to this NDG institution, you'll never be disappointed.

This is a little hole on the wall greasy spoon when you need to recover from a hangover or just need that comfort breakfast. The creation sandwich is a must, the mishmash plate is exactly what it sounds like & is awesome! There is new ownership but this place hasn't changed at all, this is an NDG secret, you gotta try it.
