Cosmos Cafe Ballantyne - Charlotte

Nice and spacious restaurant. Good service and breakfast. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. There are plenty of breakfast choices for everyone in the family.

I have been here three times since I discovered this local breakfast place. There are ample options in the menu. If you are conscious about calorie intake, there are ample selections offered by this modern diner. The foods are prepared nicely, non greasy feel to it and tasty too! The service and crew are always attentive.

Were just there yesterday, wife and I, for breakfast. She loves the Left Coast BLT that has brie and avocado along with the BT T. I usually go for the wonderful corned beef topped with eggs. However, we discovered another unusual and wonderfully tasty item: their sausage gravy. Oh...just terrific. I do like biscuits or toast with gravy, but have experienced some awful versions. Skeptical of such, I asked our waitperson if I could get a spoonful of their version. Nice person that she was, she brought a small monkey bowl to try. Not goopy, but flowed if poured, this yellowie gravy had bits of sausage in it and exploded in our mouths. The sausage taste was complimented with pepper and cayanne. It was not greasy. It was wonderful. I actually like it on dry rye toast, but biscuit works well and I won't get into my choice of biscuit. Try it and you will be come a regular. Boy, it was good!

Was really disappointed today. Usually love all the Famous Toastery, but I do t think I'll visit this one again. Despite the restaurant being maybe 1/4 full we barely got service. Had to flag down the server to get drink refills, she never checked in to see how everything was, or even if there was anything else we wanted! My tuna melt was mediocre at best, fruit cup had almost white strawberries thank goodness at least my friend's French toast and potatoes were good! And at my seat by the window there was a strange sewer smell no reflection on the service, just an odd coincidence. Loved having lunch with my friend, but this service almost ruined it.

Came in an hour before close, which was not my intention because Yelp says they close at 3pm but they 've changed their hours on the door. The place was quiet and pretty empty. I was sat right away with a choice of seat. Ordered an iced latte and classic Benedict. Both drink and food came out extremely fast, would makes sense being on of the last people in the restaurant. Would have given 5 stars but the coffee was subpar. $6 for and iced latte, I was expecting much better quality. There were grounds in my drink and it was bitter. I mentioned it to the server upon check out and she said oh its fresh, I don 't know why you tasted that. I didn 't drink more than 2 sips of it. The redemption of this place was the food. Eggs were poached perfectly and there was plenty of hollandaise sauce! I even had enough to put in my grits, which were a bit bland. Server dropped the check off at the table upside down without saying anything so I sat there for a short while before asking. Then another short while with my card on the table waiting for her to come take it, only to see another table go up and check out. This would have been nice to have been told considering I 've never been to this restaurant before. Overall it was good and I 'd come back, but I 'll stay away from the latte. Definitely was not worth it.
