Reason for one star is the filthy bathroom. I wish I'd seen it before I ate, because I would not have eaten there. Floors, toilet, sink beyond dirty. No dispenser for toilet paper or paper towels. Having thoroughly enjoyed my meal, eggs, biscuit and gravy (just one biscuit which is mighty unusual where I come from) and hash browns it is with regret I won't be coming back. I hope management hires a new cleaning crew. read more

If you are allergic to eggs do not eat at this restaurant? I got the vegan breakfast option which was vegetables and home fries and toast with coffee. There must have been some cross-contamination somewhere, maybe with the vegetables? Because as I was leaving the restaurant I felt as sick as a dog and soon I started breaking out all over my face. This place is for egg eaters only if you can't tolerate eggs please skip it! read more

We decided to finally try Cosmic Omelet before we move out of the area. I have heard of this place talked about as if it is a religion; the people who eat here regularly LOVE IT and feel a sort of alliance to it. So, we decided to try it out. The place is like a whole other world inside-- seriously, it is quite literally "cosmic" themed. And just gets crazier as you follow the yellow brick road to the bathroom. We went on a weekend morning and were expecting a wait. For two spots at the bar we waited about 20 minutes, which was totally fine. Once we go to our spots we were served quickly and thoroughly. I opted for Joey's Cosmic Omelet even though I generally don't like omelets....When in Rome. I really enjoyed it and it was super full and delicious! The boyfriend also enjoyed his omelet (though I can't remember which he had). I would try it again, maybe during the week when seats aren't as in demand. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

We had breakfast today. Then we went grocery shopping close by. I had severe cramps in my stomach, rushed to the ladies room and had diarrhea to no end. Then I felt nauseous.... Food served is plentiful, but bacon is VERY SALTY! The coffee decanters do not look clean.... Not sure if the bacon or coffee made me sick.... but 20 minutes later... I was for sure. Never finished my grocery shopping..... I was a total mess!!!!! read more

Came in on a Saturday for breakfast. Service was great and fast. They didn't have many non pork items so I only had eggs, toast and hot tea. Probably would've given 4 stars if they had at least the option for turkey bacon. read more

This place rocks! It is THE place to go for breakfast. Be patient when you go because the wait time may be a while but it is worth it. While waiting for a seat you can check out art from local artists in the back waiting room. Go... Just go read more

The only place I get an omelet and it's bomb!!! Especially with the cream cheese, they even have vegan beyond "meat" - the staff here is friendly and when you're waiting you can go to the back to a cool trippy room and explore. read more

We came here on a Friday morning and it was jamming! But we were able to be seated quickly. The menus look like comic books, which was amusing to my husband. Coffee came fast and it was very needed. I ordered the fiesta omelet and my husband ordered the corned beef omelet. Both of them came out quickly as well. Portions are nicely sized and the toast is on point. Overall, great breakfast spot. read more

If I was pregnant I'd go here every weekend food is amazing, service is great and the price? ON POINT. The place itself could be nicer but for breakfast place is not bad. Do yourself a favor and get some French Toast! You're welcome haha! read more

Love this Manchester establishment. I'm ashamed to say that I've been here on at least 4 occasions for the annual Taste of Manchester and it was always delicious and they were always so generous and kind. Yet, I only just went there. To my defense, I don't eat breakfast/brunch out frequently. However, Cosmic Omelet makes me want to eat out for breakfast all the time. The staff was great and my Eggs Benedict with asparagus was delicious. Plenty of asparagus (underneath the yummy eggs) and they were clearly fresh and still had a crunch. I ordered a side of bacon and it was cooked perfectly. My only complaint regarding the noms is really related to the coffee. Weeeaakk. However, great spot, despite the super psychedelic floors and decor. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I just had the most delicious pancakes here: cinnamon roll pancakes! The cream cheese frosting on top was to die for. I normally don't eat sweet things for breakfast but it was my birthday so I figured what the hell. Normally, I go for the omelets here. They are enormous. My fav is the Steve's Irish which is stuffed with corned beef hash. If only they made my favorite omelet of all: the fried rice omelet, then I would be in heaven. read more

After consulting Yelp on where to go for brunch, Cosmic Omelet won hands down compared to other restaurants in the area (we were staying in Manchester). We got there around 11ish AM and the place was packed. We put our names on the list and waited for about 30 minutes before being seated on the booth. Everyone else ordered the omelet but I took the path less traveled aka I ordered heaps of meat. I got the Death Dog with a side of "loaded" hash browns. Then, I ordered the "Just Because We Can..." well ... just because I can. The Death Dog was amazing. It comes nestled inside a grilled hot dog bun, topped with a butterflied hot dog, bacon, caramelized onions, American cheese and BBQ sauce. Yummy! The "Just Because We Can..." is the epitome of what I like to see on my plate. Piles of meat. I ordered mine medium rare and it came out quite juicy. The meat from the patty is moist and delicious. Everything (the fried eggs, bacon and ham) just worked perfectly inside the toasted bun. Oh ... this is heaven. I was promised an out of this world experience (Cosmic) but instead it was orgasmic. Our server was friendly. Thumbs up to the "coffee lady", she knew when to refill our coffee ... I'd give u a kiss if my lips weren't covered with animal grease and BBQ sauce. I definitely recommend getting the "loaded" hash browns. They are topped with ranch dressing, cheese and bacon. SO GOOD! If you ever had potato latkes before, Cosmic Omelet's hash browns are reminiscent of that. While there was definitely quite a wait to get a seat and to get your food, it's a perfect place to come with your friends and chat a little before the food comes. I will DEFINITELY come back when I am visiting my folks in the area. read more

If you want to enjoy a good breakfast this is the place. Food is excellent with a wide variety of dishes and unique specials! The only thing that keeps me from going more often is the long lines and wait as they are always jammed packed on weekends. One of the top breakfast places in the area. Definitely recommend if local or in surrounding towns. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Two eggs in a basket #5 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I went out to visit a very dear friend in CT and she took me to breakfast here. Walking in, it totally reminded me of a dive bar. Really, nothing fancy about it. The tables and chairs look to be straight out of the 1970's and it's kinda dark due to the large outer space mural on the back wall. However, we all know that dive bars may not be the classiest joints around, but they most certainly have the ability to deliver good stuff. Which is just what the Cosmic Omelet did. We went on a Saturday morning, and there was a good crowd of people already there. Luckily, there was only one party ahead of us, so we only waited about 5-10 minutes for a seat. They have a variety of reading materials available, so if you would prefer to wait in silence, you can do so. After we got seated, I was delighted to see an interesting menu. I enjoy creativity on menus and the menu, just like the staff, was definitely a little quirky. Here are a selection of the fun things they had on their menu: *The Nutty Frenchman - Three pieces of cinnamon French toast with walnuts, with bacon, sausage or ham *For the Brave and the Curious - A grilled bagel loaded with Peanut butter and bacon *Just Because We Can... A 1/3 pound burger with ham and three strips of bacon, topped off with a fried egg on a grilled hard roll. Served with hash browns. We'll throw on cheese by request at no extra charge. *Death Dog - Bacon, onions, BBQ sauce and American cheese (yes, they also have lunch) Since the name of the place is Cosmic Omelet, I felt it necessary to actually get an omelet, so I went with (appropriately) Tracy's Cosmic Omelet - tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Holy guacamole, it was good! And unlike a ton of other places out there, this omelet wasn't so huge that there was no hope in me finishing it. I hate wasting food, but I am also not going to stuff myself. This omelet was the perfect size. I also got wheat toast (which was just fair in my book) and hash browns. I usually always tell places to make them extra crispy, as I can't stand slimy, soggy hash browns, but they did them up great! I also got an OJ and it was some delicious fresh squeezed variety. They serve their beverages out of paper cups. I felt this lead to my waitress not being able to see when my water was empty, and so she never refilled it, and I never got a good opportunity to ask her, as she was like a tornado whipping around the room, taking care of business (with the obvious exception of refilling my water). Aside from the lack of water refills and the lackluster bread, the only other thing that caused me to reduce a star was that the wait, once we ordered, seemed to take a good amount of time for what we ordered (fairly basic meals), the amount of people working the kitchen (a goodly amount), and the number of people in the place that did not currently have food in front of them (say 25%). It wasn't some crazy long wait, but it felt longer than it should have been given the above factors. However, I would certainly recommend coming here, as the rest of the food really was yummy! read more

I've only been here once, and perhaps it was the day and my choice of food, but my omelette was boring, bland, nothing memorable or that I'd ever seek out again. Service was ok, nothing outstanding there either. My guy enjoyed his omelette, though I had a bite and while it had more flavor than mine, it wasn't so good I'd go back to order it myself. So, it was very hyped up and I was expecting way more, so I was disappointed. We were there late in the day so they were getting ready to close and clean up, we were some of the last people there, but that's no excuse for such a mediocre experience. Maybe I'll give it a try again someday, if others want to go, but I'm not in any rush! read more

All good things here. Right from the beginning when I called to inquire about coming in with a large group the person on the phone was pleasant and engaging. I was assured we would be accommodated when we got there and that is exactly what happened. Not to say the place wasn't hoppin when we got there- it was! Once tables turned over our group sat down, (after a few minutes wait). 11 teens and 6 adults ordered were served and cleaned their plates in no time flat. Service was great! Our server was attentive and made suggestions from tea to adding avocado. Coffee was hot, fresh and bottomless with frequent check ins for refills. We thought our meals were reasonably priced and we would go back. We liked the funky gallery, and wish the arcade games were in service. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Only the toast remains - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Stopped in one day with the kids and had a great breakfast. Its a bit of an eclectic place that is 'space themed' so some may find it too dark or basic of an environmnet but get over that and enjoy some great omlette or other typical breakfast food and you will be glad you stopped in. Prices and service are about average for a breakfast place but this place is larger than a lot of other smaller coffee shop places that I go to. Menu is pretty lengthy and has some fun names for their offerings. Stop by sometime, you will not be disappointed! read more

Where do I even begin?! We originally planned on IHOP - but a 45 minute wait in a nearly empty restaurant was off putting. We then were planning on going to the Gathering Place but my partner got here first and has always wanted to come. Today was the day - because there was no wait. Everything about this place is great. The floor is covered in planets, spaceships, and the cosmos. There's some pretty psychedelic paintings and photos on the wall. It has a outer space diner feel, but trust me, it works. We ordered the cinnamon bun pancakes, eggs benedict and the Tracy omelette. Five words: give cream cheese a chance. At first, I was concerned about my omelette having cream cheese in it - but I decided to give it a shot. It was great. It was essentially pico de gallo with cream cheese and cheddar. And their hash browns are to die for. Perfectly crispy and amazingly seasoned. The eggs benedict were perfectly cooked. His biscuit was awesome too. The cinnamon pancakes though. Oh. My. God. The sauce on top is strongly cream cheese flavored but the cinnamon sugar in between them compliments it perfectly. I devoured my half. So incredibly good! I will 100% be back. This was amazing. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Follow the yellow brick road - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Cream cheese on an omelet?? That's so weird. Weird and delicious!! Who knew? Took the kids to the Cosmic Omelet for breakfast and only one of them and myself got an omelet. She got the Bacon Cheeseburger omelet and I had Nate's Omelet (sausage, onions & cream cheese). I thought they were both really good (I tried a bite of hers). The other kids got pancakes and french toast, which looked good but were huge portions. It would have been nice to have the option to order 1 pancake for my kid who's eyes are bigger than his stomach - we ended up taking 3/4 of his meal home. The decor is sparse, but the kids did enjoy looking at the wall and finding the Tardis and the Winnebago from Spaceballs. :) Overall, good food, good prices, LOVE the cream cheese in the omelet - a solid breakfast experience. read more

A funky diner that attracts a big crowd. The first thing you'll notice about this place is the cosmic appearance. Other than the colorful "out of this world" art, it really has the look and feel of typical New England diner. It was about 10 a.m. on a Monday morning when we arrived and it was packed, but not so bad that we had to wait in line for a table. I probably would have given them four stars IF they had some vegan options. As expected at most diners, the selection is heavily weighted on eggs and meat options. You'd think a place trying to be hip like Cosmic might have at least one decent vegan option. My omni friends really like the place, but all I got was a glass of grapefruit juice. At least it seemed to be fresh squeezed. The staff is friendly and we got into a great conversation with our waiter. The prices are reasonable and for those who can eat the food here, you'll probably leave satisfied. read more

Cream cheese and eggs... who would have ever thought?! I was very surprised by the food and how it tasted. The food came quick and our waitress was very nice. I think the layout of the restaurant could be a little better. There was one instance where a customer and server collided, spilling orange juice and coffees everywhere. And as I was leaving, I almost bumped into the server carrying many plates of fresh food. If you are heading here on the weekends, expect a wait. read more

Cosmic Omelet - Bacon cheeseburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I'm really disappointed with the lack of decent diner/breakfast options in Hartford since moving here. (If anyone knows of any hidden spots please let me know!) This causes me to use yelp a lot when I need a decent breakfast in the afternoon hours. I was prepared for the cafeteria-esque feeling and quirky art offerings after reading the reviews. It's definitely not a comfy honey type place but they have some random art pieces to look at while you wait and try not think about what your hangover looks like in the public school fluorescent lighting. I had the tiffany omelet- bacon, cheddar, hash browns and ranch dressing with sourdough toast and side of corned beef hash. The weirdest thing about this was the eggs in the omelet. I'm pretty sure they were from a carton. They were extremely thin and shiny. The bacon was decently crispy which was good. I usually why I avoid bacon in omelets as it typically turns bacon pieces to chewy gristle. The ranch dressing was pretty non-existent though. My boyfriends Philly cheese steak omelet was loaded with steak, peppers onions and cheese. The quality of the meat was good but again the eggs were way too thin to hold up to the amount of filling. Definitely get the hash. It's big bits of corned beef and tiny chunks of potato, which is the opposite of your normal corned beef hash. I thought it was a little salty but still good. Next time I would get a couple of eggs pan fried with another plate of that hash. Also make sure you check out the art gallery past the bathrooms! read more

Yes yes yes This place is a trip. It has everything - awesome food, crazy decor in the form of painted walls you just have to see, an art gallery and arcade games that still only cost a quarter. The last two items are particularly relevant when you're waiting seemingly forever to be seated. This place is BUSY almost all the time. It's has a cult like following but it's worth the wait. The loaded hash browns are a heart attack worth having. The specials are always worth considering. Their corned beef is really good. In fact everything I've ever had there is really good. You gotta check it out !! read more

Hooray, they're open for takeout! This is what I've been waiting for since March. The process couldn't have been easier. I called in with my order, they asked what car I was driving, and 10 minutes later, I had my food and was heading home, making it even quicker than dining in (though the wait is always worth it). And here I sit with my Tiffany's omelet, happier than I've been in half a year. Glad you're back, guys! read more

I've been here twice. On my first visit, I had their biscuits and gravy; it didn't blow me away, but one can't expect too much from Southern food made in New England. For my second visit, I went with the dish that's in their name - and it was first-rate: my Western omelet had the flexible fluffiness that you would want, and was generously filled with fresh ingredients. It was so good that it made up for the home fries, which were serviceable but not as impressive as some I've had elsewhere. Service was quick and friendly, and it played a large part in my coming back. The place itself is somewhat younger than other diners, but it feels like it's been around longer despite the quirky (and awesome) decor. While I was there, an elderly gent took the seat next to me, and, without looking at the menu, ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a hard roll with mayo. One thing I really appreciated was their selection of hot sauces. Most places only have one or two, but there were *eight* in the carrier in front of me, and I tried almost all of them. (The best was the green El Yucateco.) Cosmic Omelet is solid, and definitely one of the better options in the area. I think I want to work my way through all of their different omelets. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for breakfast on Sunday and although we had to wait about half an hour for a seat, there was enough things to do to keep us occupied until our table was ready. There were arcade games in the back and a lot of interesting decorations all around. When we had the chance to sit down, there was even a set of cards at the table and we played some cards as we waited for our waitress. We ordered a coffee and apple juice and I got a cosmic mad max omelet (with steak, cream cheese, peppers, onions, cilantro, and cheddar. I got it with a toasted muffin and loaded home fries. My girlfriend, on the other hand, got a breakfast with eggs over medium, bacon, and hash browns, along with a side of corned beef hash. I thought the home fries were pretty good, although I was disappointed that it wasn't as flavorful as it looked. The omelet was alright, but didn't really amaze me. I found that the cream cheese wasn't as weird as I had expected. It kind of acted like sour cream the way it worked in the omelet, providing a creamy texture to go along with the omelet. I really enjoyed the snickerdoodle muffin though - it was cut in half and very crispy around the edges. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish, though she chose not to get her hash browns loaded. The corned beef hash, which I nabbed a little bit of, was also ok. Overall, I found this place to be pretty good, but not amazing. That said, I did like the fact that they gave the remainder of your coffee in a to-go cup and topped it off for you, which was very nice of them. That's good service. read more

Last minute breakfast descion and it wasnt bad. prices are great, murals on the wall are quirky, food is good. Server was nice.

We used to come here a lot during my high school years and it's always good. My favorite is the art gallery, and I could possibly be biased since my art is STILL hanging back there but I appreciate this little fact. In this visit I brought my boyfriend whom had never been and was a bit confused and overwhelmed by the menu, but I guided him through it and he ordered the COSMIC MAD MAX, and LOVED it. He loves spicy food and this was perfect for him! I think he'll be back and I'll always be back! Thanks Cosmic Omlette for keeping my art and making him have a wonderful experience his first visit! read more

I can't seem to get enough of this place! The first time I went, I ordered The McOmelet, just because I was intrigued. Best choice ever! I wondered if I loved it so much because I was famished that morning, or if it really was THAT delicious lol. Well, I've returned to The Cosmic Omelet again and again, and it turns out the omelets ARE consistently JUST THAT GOOD. The coffee tastes like "diner coffee" (don't ask me what that means), but sometimes that's exactly what I'm in the mood for. :) Their hamburgers/french toast/breakfast sandwiches, etc sound amaaaazing, but somehow I just can't pull myself away from those delicious omelets! The one thing I dislike about this funky little diner are the grimy floors, benches, and ceilings. I'm usually too into my food to notice dirty floors at a dining facility, but here, I noticed it right away. But I'm not in the least bit worried because The Cosmic Omelet is currently closed for renovations...which means they'll be getting a brand spanking new (hopefully CLEAN) place! Woot! read more

Spaceships. BREAKFAST, spaceships. Eggs, spaceships. Though there were no spaceships to be found in and/or around this place, the plates were round, so that's close. Now that we've gotten past the name - "Coz Om" as (nobody?) calls it, was recommended to me by my brother and his girlfriend, as they often take up residence at a table or booth on days that end in "y" for breakfast, brunch, and/or lunch. Before I moved to NJ I never really did the breakfast/brunch thing, so there is plenty of northern CT breakfast real estate i've yet to conquer. Despite that, I will find it difficult not to come back here instead of trying something new. The menu here encompasses so much CT down-home goodness and has so many options (especially for omelettes, hence the name) that I had trouble figuring out what I wanted. I went fairly classic with the fajita omelette (100% conquered), though the McOmelette found its way diagonally across the table from me (in a wrap) and despite the odd description and my propensity not to eat breakfast hamburgers...it looked really awesome and is on my list of "gotta try this." Even with the entire page of compiled omelette options...there is always an option to create your own masterpiece. The hash browns were crispy and I was all about that toast (I love toast) - so much so that I would have been happy with a few more slices. We also threw a plate of biscuits and gravy right in the middle of the table for all to share. I can count the number of times i've ever had this dish on two fingers, and I was open to adding a third. Definitely worth trying, though I'd be hard pressed to get more than 1/4 of the way through the dish - they are, as the name so gallantly suggests...super heavy. I washed it all down with grapefruit juice and called it a day. Be prepared to wait, especially if you come during prime weekend hours. There seem to be video games in the back (I did not see which ones) so there is the possibility of pre-food, during food, or even post-food game playing. Also, the best time to come is when it's close to your birthday and your brother is taking care of the check. Got any gold flakes back there? My omelette needs to sparkle. Money is no object. read more

I've lived in Manchester FOREVER it feels like and had NEVER eaten here. Being a lover of all things brunch I was excited when friends asked me if I wanted to join them I jumped all over the idea. Being 11:30 on a Sunday the placed was PACKED! I mean people waiting out the door and inside and everywhere you could wait. This is by far the mark of a good joint. So we waited about 20 minutes for a table and it was totally worth it. Our waitress was fun and cheery and legitimately loved her job. She offered up some great suggestions but we all pretty much decided on the staples. Biscuits and gravy, pancakes, french toast, sausage, corned beef hash and hashbrowns. Every single bite was amazing and the service was impeccable. Will definitely go back and would recommend anyone in the area to give it a shot too. read more
