Delicious food in a relaxed outdoor setting at the close end of Boathouse Row. Live music on weekends. This is a wonderful place to hang out in the summer. Brian's salad, pictured and not on the menu, is egg salad and roasted vegetables sitting on top of mixed greens. It's a real treat. Ask if Brian is in .
What a beautiful day we had on our bicycling journey from Center City Philadelphia. We rode north on a bike/walking path to Boathouse Row. The weather was gorgeous. As we explored the area north of the City. Then we came upon a lovely place to buy lunch and some mint tea. It is called The Cosmic Cafe and Cider House. Where we ordered a tuna on marble rye and a turkey bacon BLT wrap, with two glasses of delicious mint tea. The service was extremely good. The food was absolutely perfect. And the mint tea was so refreshing. I am so glad that we discovered this hidden gem, just off of the Schuylkill River. As it's nestled underneath the trees and a cool soft breeze is felt. We had such a relaxing time eating lunch outside of The Cosmic Cafe and Cider House.
I have been coming here for over 2 years! During the late Spring through early Autumn there are open mic nights with talented musicians. Weekends are often busy and popular social eatery. Outside patio has a view of the Schuylkill River and lots of opportunities to listen and watch birds. The head chef and managers pride themselves on fresh, high quality ingredients, food preparation, kind and patient service. Their servers are always friendly and sweet. Highly recommend! Outside seating is dog friendly!
Cosmic is a family favorite for us! Peg and her team are so kind and we also love supporting the Cosmic Foundation. The food is always delicious! You can’t go wrong with a breakfast burrito, loaded bagel, or any of the weekly specials! There’s lots of outdoor seating as well as a quiet upstairs space. Bonus: the cafe is dog friendly!
