I've been to Cosmos Cafe a couple of times now. Cosmos Cafe IS NOT at the Reston Metro Station - regardless of what a previous reviewer claims. It is in the general area - but according to Google maps - the Reston Metro Station is about 0.4 miles (10 minute walk) from Cosmos Cafe. Cosmos Cafe is behind a gate in an office building complex - but there is free parking just outside the gate (I've parked in the free parking outside the gate every time I've visited Cosmos Cafe - it's about less than a one minute walk to Cosmos Cafe from the parking just outside the gate).Cosmos Cafe stops serving breakfast at 11:00 am - and this is stated on their menu on the wall behind the register.I've had their Cold Brew, as well as their Breakfast Burrito (Scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, and cheese). Very filling and tasty! I've also had a side of crispy bacon. The Cold Brew was good as well!There is a limited number of tables to eat in at.Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good!#CosmosCafe

This place has potential, but fails to accommodate customer needs. They are at the Reston metro station. First they close at 3pm, so if you commute and would like to eat when you return to Reston, they are probably closed. Second, even when empty, they won't fry you an egg after 10:30, even tho it's on the menu. Cosmos would be a daily stop for me if these two things changed. Lastly, it is behind gated and paid parking, so there is an extra charge unless you park elsewhere and walk. As an alternative, I recommend Zaina's, now named Carolina's. They also close at 3pm but we're happy to make me an omelette at 2pm. Their staff were cheerful and appreciate the business, unlike Cosmos. The decor and atmosphere is much better at Zaina's /Carolina's.

We were duped by positive Yelp reviews. The food was gross and awful. The kitchen staff bickered loudly the entire time we tried our best to "just eat the food." There was convenience store ambiance and that's the best thing I can say about this place.

The breakfast sandwiches were simple and delicious. Also loved the sweet potato fries and the iced chai.

The breakfast sandwiches were simple and delicious. Also loved the sweet potato fries and the iced chai. Made our day since the owners were kind, attentive and provided great service. Def recommend this place for a quick bite to eat.
Yummy spot! Enjoyed their iced chai latte and had a slice of lemon pound cake. The cake was a bit too dry and dense. Service was great - kind & helpful! Tons of options on the menu so I can't wait to come back & try more!

Friendly staff. Got a latte, breakfast sandwich and a pastrami-corned beef 'reuben sub' to goLatte wasn't greatBreakfast sandwich was fine, though the bagel was 'meh' and nothing to write home about (a bit anemic when it came to the 'everything toppings')Reuben sub was fantastic. Lean & tender meats. Very flavorful. A real winner.

Update: stopped by this place again during my trip in DC.. The best place to get bibimbop and bulgogi on the go (their specials). Sandwiches are also very delicious. Very nice staff. They remembered me even though I didn't visit there often. It is easier to find the cafe thanks to the permanent sign on the building.A hidden gem in the neighborhood because it is located in the office building.. 30 min ample free parking is available near the office building's gated parking lot so I see visitors order food for carry-out. Reasonable price and nice staff.

This place is cheap, generous with their portions and truly tasty. The staff is warm and genuinely kind. I would definitely recommend this place if youre looking for a breakfast or lunch spot.
the hamburger tastes good!
