Kafe Kosmos

I really enjoy the service here. The staff members are always friendly and willing to accommodate my requests. The food options are pretty varied, with the ability to get made-​to-​order food or select from prepared items. The prices are a bit high but they are conveniently located inside the office building and serve quality food.

Thank you food gods, for placing this sublime café in an otherwise barren office park! Without Kosmos, I would be stuck brown bagging it every single Monday through Friday!
I’ve only eaten lunch here twice but I’m already infatuated. On my first visit, I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich which was grilled Cajun chicken on a toasted sub roll with pesto, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I would’ve never thought of combining pesto and Cajun but it was a great combination, and held together perfectly by the fresh, crusty roll.
They only use Boar’s Head meats so I’m looking forward to trying other sandwiches and paninis. But Lo, you ask, won’t you grow weary of sandwiches? Fair point, which is why it’s fabulous that they also have a hot and cold bar! As you can see in my photo, I tried a little bit of everything on my second visit.*
I believe the veggie egg roll was oven baked since it wasn’t dripping in oil like when you get them from a carryout. It was good– I mean, an egg roll’s an egg roll. It hits the spot for me when I’m craving something fried. For my protein, I had the jerk chicken breast. It was flavorful and juicy, however the jerk sauce had an almost sweet taste rather than spice. I recommend it but only if you want good chicken, not if you’re looking for heat.
My two sides of scalloped potatoes and chickpea salad were great, especially for being cafeteria food. The potatoes had just the right amount of lightly browned cheese and were cooked evenly (I hate when you get a couple of potatoes that are raw)! The salad of chickpeas, black beans, onions, tomato, and avocado must have been the day’s Latin cuisine item and I’m glad they made it! The ingredients were fresh and it’s definitely something I’d buy regularly.
Kosmos is also a good meeting space since they have plenty of tables, small and large. I’ve been there only during the lunch rush when it’s crowded and noisy, so you want to go later if you’re having a working lunch. The sandwich makers and cashiers are polite and the lines move quickly.
*I would normally have selected a sensible salad but I was trying to be a good Unilocaler.
