Cosmic Café and Ciderhouse

Horrible food and rude management. I've tried multiple times to like this place but this will be the last. I came today looking for a place to rest and snack during my trail walk. Multiple other people were relaxing, sitting on the tables not having bought anything, but there was still plenty of table space. There were no signs saying that outdoor seating was only for cafe customers, but I purposely bought the $8 juice (ridiculous) and chips to be safe and to support the cafe. Seating outside, I start eating a packed salad and sandwich I brought, and 5 minutes later an incredibly pretentious and rude manager comes out to scold me for bringing my food, telling me that outside food is not allowed, even if you've purchased cafe fare. He claimed that this was a "restaurant"--also ridiculous; it's clearly meant to be an informal outdoor space for walkers to enjoy. I can't believe this is how they treat paying customers.On a separate occasion, the veggies on their wraps have been old and rubbery, and one sandwich gave my guest food poisoning for three days. Once, when I asked for a very simple modification to a sandwich (no cheese), I was refused. Unfortunately, the only reason this place still exists is because it has no other competition. Please avoid.

Stopped in as I was parked nearby on Boathouse Row while my son visited a college crew team. Hungry after the four hour drive here, I got a large latte and a ham and egg breakfast sandwich.Wow...that is the biggest breakfast sandwich I ever saw for $10. Also - incredibly good! What a deal!The caffe latte was delicious...piping hot and perfectly made.There is a small bio on the wall about Chef Peg and her efforts to employ and help differently abled and others that need a hand up in life. Reading it, and then sampling her excellent fares...well, this is clearly a labor of love that you should support. You'll be deliciously happy you did!

Cute little place on the water in Fairmount Park. We got muffins and a vegan brownie for breakfast tomorrow. Friendly counter person. Gluten-free options were a granola bar and the brownie. They also have coffee, iced tea, lemonade, etc. Nice pit stop after trudging through the park!

This place is my favorite reward after an early morning row! Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious- piled high with egg, cheese, and meat. And they are one of the few places these days that never run out of gluten free bread.Smoothies are very good as well. As is the coffee!

It's wonderful to have this little cafe on Boathouse Row! It's located at the end of the parking lot in Lloyd Hall. The inside is small. There was lots of seating outside on the patio. I think there's also seating upstairs but not positive. The cafe has counter service. We went in and ordered our sandwiches then sat at a table outside. When the sandwich was ready, it was brought out to us.The turkey sandwich was soooo good. It was real roasted turkey not lunch meat. It tasted freshly made. The sandwich had lettuce, tomatoes and red onion, all fresh! You can choose your bread from whole wheat, white, whole grain. Everything is freshly made. The mint tea is also good. It's homemade and not overly sweetened. We were there on a Sunday. There was live music and a pop up bar outside. It was an enjoyable lunch!

This place is a cute cafe by Kelly Drive. They have WiFi so it's a good place to get some work done by the water. They serve breakfast and lunch. The salad was good.

We stopped in after visiting the museum and had lattes and capuccinos. Nice servers, good price, and the outside tables provided a nice place to relax and feel unrushed. Will go back.

The staff was kind and had good food the tea was good and the park was nice and Cute little place on the water in Fairmount Park

extremely disappointed by the service and disrespect of employees. I myself work in the service industry and felt an overwhelming discomfort while sitting at cafe. would not come back again nor recommend to friends.

I love coming here! The food is always great and so is the staff. They're the best dog friendly cafe in Philly!
