Perfect at home feeling when entering and dining in to Cosmos Cafe! Owner was attentive and doing a fantastic job taking orders during the lunch rush, met all of our groups needs and our food was out in great timing. Part of our group ordered the classic gyro with fries, and the jerk chicken pita wrap special. All of our food was fantastic, perfect blend of flavor and authenticity. Will be returning very soon! Thank you Cosmos! read more

The jerk chicken pita is one of the best food items anywhere in Milwaukee. You've got to come try it if you've never had one, simple and amazingly delicious. Fries were also a good complement to the generously portioned chicken stuffed pita. Service was great as well and the place filled up for lunch on a Thursday...if you haven't been to cosmos do yourself a favor and get here asap! read more

Always a great experience! Good people, great food and great hospitality! They tell you all about how they make their food and their traditional recipes! We visit the area every year from California to spend time with family and this is always a place we have to stop! Smaller inside but have outside seating as well so never an issue getting a spot! read more

Really good! We had the Mediterranean salad, very fresh with big connect cheese and delicious dressing. The pork souvlaki sandwich is tender with very tasty honey mustard dressing. Just this sandwich would be worth picking up to split into halves for lunches later or share at home. read more

First time at Cosmos, and let's just say--this place gyro'd straight into our hearts! We ordered the chicken and lamb plates separately (because why share when both are THAT good?). Each plate was loaded with tender, flavorful meat, warm pita, and all the fixings. You could tell it was made fresh--like the kitchen heard we were coming and rolled out the red carpet... in tzatziki. The Greek fries? Chef's kiss. Crispy, lemony, and buried under a glorious feta avalanche. We may or may not have fought over the last few. Washed it all down with the Greek lemonade--bright, tangy, and refreshing enough to make us forget we were still in Wisconsin. They've been in business 16 years, and it shows. Great service, super clean, and the kind of friendly that makes you want to come back next week just to say hi (and maybe try everything else on the menu). If you're craving Greek classics done right, Cosmos is where it's at. Opa read more

I'm sitting at the table facing towards the door. When I came in I was greeted with a warm hello from the sweet lady running the counter who provided me with this amazing order . As I've been eating this order I've seen more and more people rotate through the door and she's helped every one of them to fill the space with their orders. This place is magical and I'm blessed I stopped here on my way home to have this delicious ass Greek food. Shoutout everyone behind the grill and fry basket all yall kill it. Big blessing to cosmos, it's been amazing. read more

Date of visit: April 30, 2025 The latest in our monthly workday lunch outings, this time around it was Cosmos Cafe on North Ave in Tosa. Despite the many times I've driven down this street, I never noticed the cafe, set back from the street behind its parking lot, which sets it apart from the other buildings on this stretch. The cafe itself is very unassuming as well, and not very big, so don't bring a large group here unless it's nice out and you can dine al fresco. Menu here is a combination of old school chalkboard and a laminated (slightly out of date) card, but the server/cashier is super friendly and will offer up any suggestions you might want or need and he'll also bring the food over to you, which I appreciated (I really hate the places that do a cattle call when the food's up) as well. I went with the fish sandwich. For the size and that nothing comes with it (besides some random veggies I didn't ask for or want), the price it was a bit expensive though the sandwich was pretty good. Not quite Kopp's, but it was tasty and the tartar sauce that came with it was great for dipping. This seems like the kind of place that would do a really good gyro so I will definitely come back some day and give that a whirl as well. read more

Cosmos Café - Fish samich - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Was feeling basic so I got the cheeseburger, was a bit disappointed cause the meat itself was on the drier side, so unfortunate cause of how thick the patty was! What really pulled it together was the fries, sooo crispy each and every fry, sooo good!! The place itself is pretty small and packed when I went so I got to go. Food didnt take long at all either considering all the people! The cashier was a great guy, super nice and helpful. Seems like a family business cause he mentioned a brother in the kitchen so for that, I would give this place another try on a different night! read more

Cosmos Café - Cheeseburger - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Old school Greek cafe Menu is on a chalk board On a Friday lunch hour rush is only one person running the counter taking orders and bringing out peoples meals Price wise it's comparable to other Greek restaurants Nothing really stood out to make it a 5 star review read more

Certainly a local Wauwatosa favorite, especially since all gyros places buy their meat from the same Chicago supplier and this place on North Ave. is central and close. They usually have some Greek specials for the day which you would have to read on the chart when you come. Always friendly, generous portions, reasonable prices. In the absence of any real or authentic full Greek restaurants in Milwaukee, this is a good option for Greek basics. Beer and wine available. read more

We came here on a Tuesday night and there was a nice steady crowd of takeout orders and people coming in to eat. It's not super big inside but enough. Id actually never had true Greek food before I came here. We got the Greek sample platter and everything was amazing and super fresh. For the entree I got a fish pita and I am officially craving it all the time because of how good it was. This place is the perfect mom and pop Greek restaurant and would recommend to anyone trying to get Greek food. read more

My recent lunch visit here has definitely made me a fan. It's a small space with limited seating and appears to do a thriving carryout business. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. I had the Jerk Chicken Gyro and my friend had the Gyro Platter. I must say the fries with his platter were the best I've had in awhile. Crunchy and seasoned on the outside and soft inside. My Jerk Chicken Gyro sealed the deal for me however. The chicken was grilled to perfection with just the right amount of spice. After I finished it I was tempted to lick the wrapper it came in. It was that good! Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

Cosmos Café - Jerk Chicken Gyro and Gyro Platter with fries. - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Amazing! Such great food and the place is just cozy and lovely and the staff is so sweet.

From the moment I walked in, my thoughts went to " I feel like I'm vacation and I stumbled in to the best little local gem that a tourist would never hear of but has the best food in town". I've lived in Milwaukee for close to 10 years and i get sad thinking about all the year I've wasted not going into cosmos cafe. Let me just say, you need go order the jerk chicken gyro and French fries and you will be happy for years to come. Let me tell you about how the man taking our order seemed to care about the shop and he answered the phone in front of us and spoke Greek! So so impressed. Inside doesn't have a ton of space, and it's laid out in a diner layout. Many people ordered pickup, but I enjoyed eating in and seeing the regulars catch up with the staff. I'm going to be a new regular. read more

What a great little place! Delicious food, friendly service, and huge portions! We just happened upon the place and felt lucky to have found it. The two brothers that run it with their dad are great friendly guys. read more

My family and I were looking for a place that offered a Friday fish fry and a little more. We found it. My wife and son had the fish fry that looked amazing. Not over breaded, not greasy, it was perfect. My son had fries and loved them, my wife had a baked potato. I had the falafel pita and hummus and pita. Excellent choice. It was nice sitting outside and enjoying the weather. Service was excellent we got here at 5 and food came out quickly and hot. We will definitely be back. read more

Honestly, pretty good spot if you're in the mood for a lot of food but nothing too expensive. Is it groundbreaking? No. BUT it is very tasty, fast, and cheap. We have gone a couple times now! I've tried the Greek salad (okay), the chicken pita (yummy!), and shrimp po boy (better than expected!). read more

I'm surprised it took me this long to check out Cosmos Café, but I'm disappointed I haven't stopped there earlier! I wasn't sure what to expect, but walked in and everyone was having such an enjoyable time. It was a good busy and they received so many calls for pick-up orders. I ordered the chicken pits and my friend ordered the jerk chicken pita and both were fantastic! Highly recommend adding this to your list for either dine in or pick up. The cashier was very patient when we were ordering, offered suggestions, and cleared our plates when we were done. There is parking available in their lot, or their across the street from a Tosa lot, too. read more

Wonderful Greek Cafe located in Tosa. Ordered the pita and hummus as an appetizer and loved how fresh the hummus was. Will definitely be back to get some hummus to go to have at home. Their falafel pita was delicious, and the amount of meat that was on their Mediterranean salad was more than generous, enough for leftovers. The inside of the Cafe is pretty small with a few tables, and you order at the counter. There's also a few tables outside which is where we sat. Service was great and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Cosmos Café - Sampler appetizer plate was so good, we forgot to take a picture before we dug in. - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

This food is outstanding. I would take a picture of the Caribbean jerk chicken sandwich, but we ate it. I would make the drive from anywhere in Wisconsin or a neighboring state just to try this food because it is that good. The pictures are amazing, but not half as amazing as the food was. I will definitely be back. The restaurant owners were so incredibly friendly. She went out of her way to talk to me and to make an effort to get to know me in the short time that I was there. These are people who genuinely care about their customers. read more

I want to start off by saying the lady who runs this place is a gem. We have only been once and she really stood out to me. She def cares about her customers and food and people! We have been wanting to come here and we finally got the chance. It's small in the inside but homey! There's a family love energy and it's super inviting. Menu was hard to read so they have a paper one. A kids corner with stuff to entertain your kids (awesome) is tucked away in the small space. I got a plate and my husband got a jerk gyro I believe. His sauce was so good!! I loved my plate. Ate every bite. Fresh and delicious. If you talk to anyone who lives in Tosa this a favorite of theirs. Go check it out! read more

First timer. You go in , order at the counter and wait for your food. Inside is small, but they do behave a cute outside patio set up. Friendly service. Now let's get to the good part, the food. I ordered the jerk chicken pita, which was soooooo good. It came with fries and it was huge. I was super stuffed. BF ordered the Greek salad with chicken. His salad was huge too and super delicious. I love small pop and pop restaurants, they always have the best food. I will definitely be back. read more

Cosmos Café - Jerk Chicken Pita Sandwich Combo - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

This is our Greek go to spot in our neck of the woods in Tosa. It's an awesome hole in the wall joint run by a super friendly, hard-working family. The star of the show is no doubt the jerk chicken pita - it's massive and loaded with flavor. Not greasy or spicy, it's truly out of this world. It comes with amazing fries that are always hot, fresh and crispy. I was able to try the fish fry, it was just OK though. I have not tried any of their gyros yet, and it's only because that jerk chicken pita is so darn good it's hard to pass it up when I visit. We usually take our food to go because it is a tiny restaurant with only a few tables, so it can be difficult to dine in during the busy lunch rush. Pro tip: take your food to go and head across the street to Gathering Place Brewery and have yourself a pint on their fabulous back patio while you nosh on your killer pita! read more

We came back from a trip to Greece and had a craving for some Greek food. Cosmos Cafe is certainly the real deal. We had a jerk chicken pita and the pork souvlaki. Both were excellent. The pork souvlaki was served just as they do in Athens with fries inside. The sauce was incredible! read more

Service was 100% amazing we flew down from California totally beat our expectations. Food was amazing. I had a gyro my aunt had a fried fish sandwich read more

This was the first place I ate at when I moved to Milwaukee 3 years ago. Let me say, they set a high bar for Greek food. Love this place with my whole heart. They never disappoint and I regularly crave their jerk chicken and gyros. The staff is lovely and you get plenty of food for what you pay. You can order take out or eat in their indoor seating or they have some tables outside. read more

This is a local family owned business with great food, low key inside ambiance outdoor seating is being expanded

What went well? Everything!! The good folk at Cosmo's continues to provide delicious food & a friendly experience whether you're eating in or grabbing take-out. Once again, the Jerk Chicken Pita was melt-in-your-mouth delightful! Be sure to grab some cookies for dessert :) read more

The service was great and the staff were very friendly! And the food.... Let me tell you, I had the Gyro Supreme and it was delicious. My takeout meals had plenty of pita as well as tazatsiki sauce. Don't get me started talking about the fries that accompanied our meal! Long cut and fried to perfection! Definitely recommend cosmos! read more

Truly good Greek food!! Had the Gyro supreme & the sampler platter! Everything was great, will definitely return&try the specials. read more

My husband and I came here for the first time and the Gyros with fries were amazing! They have a relatively big portion size and everything is made fresh for you. Definitely recommend for takeout gyros! read more

Came for the first time after hearing great things from friends! I was welcomed with a warm greeting from Tina who took my order and told me about their map that medical students place stickers on to see where people have come from. I got the jerk chicken pita sandwich combo and it was BOMB. The chicken was juicy and so flavorful, the onions had a nice fresh crunch to it, and the fries were perfectly fried! Everything was balanced perfectly and the portions were huge! I'll definitely come again! read more

Cosmos Café - Jerk Chicken Pita Sandwich Combo - Greek Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

My dad and I recently tried carry outs from Cosmos on the recommendation of an Elite friend. He tried the jerk chicken sandwich, which he said was very good. I thought it was a weird offering from a Mediterranean restaurant, but if it works, it works. I had a falafel sandwich. The menu has some vegetarian options, but it's not a deep menu by any means. The falafel was good. No complaints. We also shared the Greek fries, herbed fries with plenty of salty feta crumbles. They were quite good and the order was large. I'm anxious to try more items here, but some things, like saganaki, that speak to me are best eaten on site. I will return. Prices are reasonable as well. read more

I come here for carry out when I don't feel like cooking. Always fast, good tasting Mediterranean food. Staff are always friendly and food is almost always ready when they say it will be. One of my go to places in a pinch. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST. It is consistently good: food quality and taste and freshness. I just called for carry-out tonight after work and the guy who answered the phone was SO friendly and relaxed and funny and kind--he maintained this level of engagement to everyone who was in the restaurant while I was there. Anyway, I always get the jerk chicken pita and fries. Again: it is SO GOOD. I don't have enough description words but I promise you you'll enjoy your food and want to come back for your next meal (or maybe the next day as portions are big and you'll be so full). (Sorry for the photo quality--I took it from my car) read more

This was my 1st time trying Cosmos. I saw it on TikTok & had to try it out for myself. Food & service was awesome. We dined in & enjoyed every moment of the experience. We tried the jerk gyro & fries & I washed it down with a butter scotch root beer, soooo tasty. The jerk gyro was so good that we had to get one to go, because Cosmos was going to be closing for vacation for 30 days. Lol read more

Stopped in for lunch and got the gyro platter while my friend got their burger. Ask me why I had a little food envy when our orders came out? Not that there was anything with my gyro platter- in fact it was spot on. They threw in extra olives at my request and their fries were nice and crispy. The staff was kind and personable and I'll definitely be back! read more

Can's say enough about this charming & casual restaurant. The hospitality from the owners is so genuine. We had a party of 5 for lunch and everything we had was amazing-wonderful flavors all around...AND very reasonably priced. I'll be back every time I'm in town! read more
