    Part of peppy decor
    Barbara M. V.

    On my day off today, I had breakfast here. I remember the former location on East Middle Tpke in an old house! The new spot is more centrally positioned in downtown Manchester. I had a delicious Greek omelet with multigrain toast and home fries. My steaming mug of tea was fabulous. My staff person was very attentive and cheerful. I will go again soon and get a lunch plate. Well done in my book.

    Creative special egg-ceptional menus.

    What a wonderful find! A neighborhood joint to find creative food, fresh made orange juice and a homey environment. Feels like coming home with the welcome from the server

    Angry Egg This is a very small restaurant with quite a few rules to follow, but don't let that stop you! I visited several months ago while traveling for work, and since I'm always on the hunt for a hot breakfast with good service, this spot stood out. The service was great, and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the Breakfast Sammie, which was delicious! I also love that it's a small, family-owned business--definitely worth supporting. A must-try if you're in the area!

    I came here with a friend on a Friday around 11am. We were seated right away which was surprising since this place is pretty small. Our server was a delight! He was friendly and efficient. That makes such a difference when going out to eat. We ordered the egg nog coffee which we were told had no sweetener or alcohol but it had a nice smell of rum and tasted good. I ordered the Mediterranean scramble. It was absolutely delicious and they did not skimp on the Kalamata olives. The sweet potato cake on top gave a unique sweetness to this savory dish. We stayed until just before closing at 2pm talking and enjoying our coffee. All customers and staff seemed pleasant during our visit. Nobody angry here except that cute little egg on their logo! I felt comfortable here and look forward to coming back soon.

    Parking: street parking but normally a bunch of places Decor: traditional owner operated diner...perfect if you love mom and pops diners like I do!! Staff: very friendly and eager to be of service but not in your face either Food: this is where the one start went, pancake was mushy in the middle (see pics). Did not eat all of it and they took off the bill but still have to be transparent to my followers. Price: very well priced and would suggest checking this place out. Overall: I will be going back to try something else on the menu so more to come.

    This breakfast sammich really hit the spot. Home fries were savory and well-cooked. It looks like something I would prepare at home. The service was very friendly and polite and the interior was small and comforting. For a restaurant called the Angry Egg, it does bring joy to its guests.

    What a pleasant surprise, stopped in with a friend around the holidays and as if it was a hallmark movie, it started snowing, setting a lovely mood. The food was fresh and satisfying, servers pleasant without hovering and went above and beyond. Street parking was fine and should not deter anyone from enjoying this quaint breakfast spot.

    Nice place with good food! My only wish was that it was bigger! They were so busy! We got there at the right time and only waited a few minutes but had to wait outside and it was cold! But the staff was nice about it and we had a really nice waitress. Food portions were large! Food was delicious! I had the waffle sammich. I have picture of my friends meals but I can't remember what they got! Other than some GIANT blueberry pancakes!

    "Ooh, I know what you're doing I know where you've been, but I don't care 'Cause there's a-no such thing as an original sin I'm not angry" (Elvis Costello) Before I write one word about this morning's breakfast experience, let me ask you a question. Isn't the Angry Egg's logo of an enraged egg menacingly wielding a spatula (as though it was a machete) one of the very coolest logos you've ever seen? Anyway, we had a FANTASTIC breakfast experience today. First of all, they had three different coffee choices -regular, dark or flavored, which today was butter pecan. Coffees are $2.75. We sat in one of their 8 or so booths, met our terrific server Janna, sipped our coffees and studied their enormous breakfast menu. Breakfast is served until the 2:00 closing and lunch is also served from 11 to closing. I ordered three poached eggs ($4.50) and a side of Angry Hash ($5.50). I couldn;t have been happier with my choice. The eggs were perfect and the hash was one of the most delicious versions I've ever had. It was loaded with peppers, onions, potatoes, jalapenos, and plenty of ham, sausage and kielbasa chunks. Janaasked if I wanted anything with my meal, and when I asked for hot sauce, she asked "What kind, we have four choices". I went with the Cholua which is awesome. My wife went to the pancake section and ordered a full stack. This was 4 pancakes for $9 as opposed to a short stack of 2 pancakes for $7. She added on chocolate chips for a measly $2 more. Now I can't tell you how freaking massive that full stack was. They covered the entire area of a full sized plate and seemed to be an inch and a half tall. Since the difference between a short and full stack is just $2, I have no earthly idea why anyone wouldn't splurge for the full, and take home half of the order like we did. Our magnificent breakfast was $28.45 after tax and before tip. We were far from Angry when we left, in fact we were totally satisfied.

    I can here because it was recommend from some coworkers. I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the entire experience. When I went to order my meal I was then instructed I can not be in the restaurant and they will call me once my order is ready. Their deliverance with telling me was awful and they were very rude. I waited for over 30 minutes for avocado toast and this is what I received. Toast with no avocado and my eggs not fully cooked. I was very disappointed. Due to the long wait and the staff being rude I did not even go back to correct my order. I wouldn't go back again!

We both ordered the veggie omelet which came with country potatoes and toast- we both had rye. All of it was hot and delicious! I had really wanted to try the poutine but I am a vegetarian and sadly, they don't offer it with a mushroom gravy, which I found at two poutine places in Quebec City. I guess there are not enough vegetarians asking for it around here. I gotta say it was super loud in here as the place was packed with a large group. I enjoy a lively atmosphere but it was just too much. I found myself wanting to rush to get out of there as the noise was overwhelming while eating breakfast. I prefer to ease into my day.

Upon entering, we found the wait staff chatting with each other at the seats or serving the handful of customers in the dining room. Decor was heavily coffee influenced-- from the wallpaper to the wall art, it's obvious a cup of joe plays a role here. We ordered a smattering of breakfast dishes and of course, two of the poutine dishes. Overall the food was just ok, not memorable. The pancakes had a nice texture but were largely flavorless; maple syrup helped somewhat but that ended up being the only flavor. Eggs were serviceable, potatoes were fine. The poutine was okay. I've had much better in Canada. Theirs felt like a beef based gravy out on top of French fries, with pockets of cheese curds, which were the better part of the meal. The Quebecois poutine was better, with added ham & veggies to add some complexity. The downside of our visit came as we approached their closing hour of 2pm. The crew started cleaning up and vacuuming around us as we were still eating before close. I had a single cup of coffee, and when I asked for a refill, the waitress apologized and said they poured it out because it was getting close to closing time. Ironic, considering the amount of pro-coffee memorabilia around the restaurant. We hadn't even hit closing but pouring out the coffee while a table was still eating didn't cross anyone's mind. (Nor cleaning around us, passively encouraging us to leave.) The coffee wasn't removed from the bill in recognition that maybe they made a mistake. Overall.. eh. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I'm sure it's fine for the regulars, but this wasn't worth the long trip for what I was hoping was a callback to Quebec faire, in Connecticut.

    The Cosmic Omelet is a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant that opened in Manchester,…read moreConnecticut in October 2003. It was founded by Tracy Devine. When she purchased the small restaurant space in Manchester, it was already an existing restaurant called "The Smoking Cafe". Just before the purchase, the Connecticut General Assembly had passed a smoking for restaurants, which was going to go into effect soon. Many of the regular customers were smokers, but Devine soon won them over with her menu of "out of this world" food. The new business was dubbed "The Cosmic Omelet" and by 2005, a beautiful cosmic-themed mural had been painted on the walls of the restaurant. Although the menu also features lunch items, it is the breakfast dishes that keep people coming back. Many of the dishes are named after and designed by staff or long standing customers. If you spot the word "cosmic" anywhere in the menu, it is code for "made with cream cheese". My family and I had brunch at the Cosmic Omelet over St. Patrick's Day weekend. I was first introduced to the place by one of my best friends who grew up in Manchester, and I've been coming back ever since. This was the first visit for my two sons. There was a little bit of a wait for a table, but there's plenty to do to pass the time. If customers follow the "yellow brick road" painted on the floor, it will lead you to a small arcade as well as a funky art gallery space. We all had a fun time exploring until our table was ready. They had a lot of delicious St. Patrick's Day themed specials during our visit. I had the "Sheep Go To Heaven" (shepherd's pie omelet w/ ground beef, corn, mashed potatoes, cheddar & Guinness gravy), my wife had the "Fiesta Omelet" (sausage, onions, peppers, cheddar, side of salsa & sour cream), our sons shared the "Sweet Cream (Green) Pancakes", and we also ordered sides of "Hashbrowns" and "Corned Beef Hash" for the table. As usual, everything was fantastic! The omelets were chock full of delicious ingredients, the pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the home fries were out of this world! We plan on returning to the Cosmic Omelet again and again!

The look of the place is still a mix of quirky diner and casual neighborhood spot, but over the years they have expanded quite a bit into neighboring spaces. It is noticeably larger than it used to be many years ago, but it still feels like the same locally-owned, friendly, affordable, quirky, casual, bustling place with fun decor that it has always been. The food is certainly also a big reason people keep coming back. If you have never been, you will quickly notice that some of the omelets are creative and a little unusual. A few include things like cream cheese, which might sound odd at first but often works surprisingly well. Of course they also have plenty of classic breakfast options if you want something more traditional. In general the food has been consistently good. The place can get busy, especially during peak breakfast hours, which says a lot about how popular it still is with regulars. Once you are seated though, the service tends to move along quickly and the staff are friendly in that slightly quirky way that fits the personality of the place. Overall Cosmic Omelet is still one of the better breakfast spots in the area. Good food, lots of personality, and clearly a place that has built a strong following over the years. Although I have moved much further away since my 2009 review, I will still stop in when I am back in the area.

The owner takes a great deal of pride in the food that he serves, striving to make sure you're happy and full. This morning I had the Biscuits & Gravy special, and it was amazing. I'm usually very hesitant to order Biscuits & Gravy out anywhere because I have pretty high standards for that dish. Many restaurants use subpar or canned ingredients and just fail miserably at their attempt to make it properly. Since I've always had good meals here, I figured I would try it. Not only was I not disappointed, but I was rather surprised at the deliciousness of it. There was not one single flavor that overwhelmed another, after I swallowed the first bite was when the flavor really hit home.
