Day 176: Sophie's Cosmic Cafe

Establishments Name & background
Sophie's Cosmic Cafe is located at 2095 W 4th Ave in Kits. It has been around for many years. It is very well known iconic restaurant that many stars frequent it when they are in town or when they are shooting a movie here.

Food Type / Taste
They sell Western comfort food. They sell burgers, chicken, meatloaf and similar items. The portions are very generous. We shared two dishes. One was the open faced turkey sandwich. It had a heap of turkey on thick bread, side of mashed potatoes and nice slathering of gravy on the sandwich and mashed potatoes. The other dish was penne with shrimp, spinach and tomatoes. Usually when you order a dish with shrimp they only give you 2 or 3 shrimps. This penne had about 10 shrimps. I liked both the dishes very much. It was very tasty and I was full by the end of dinner.

Price Range
The price range is fairly reasonable. Each entree is about $10 - $20. There is a coupon in the Entertainment book. For two of us, it was $22 for two entrees and one tea. What a deal!

Atmosphere
It has a very eclectic atmosphere. It's very nostalgic. It has empty Coke bottles for the railings for the middle tables. There are old metal lunchboxes, album covers (including Elvis), toys from the 50's, 60's (and beyond) and signed pictures from stars who come to visit as their decor.

Great place for couples, singles, etc....
It is a great place to relax because it is very casual. It is a good place for families. It is very kid friendly. There is good selection for their kid's menu. It is also a fun place for couples. A good place to relax after a walk on Kits beach or a stroll on W 4th Ave.

Overall experience of the place
Out of 5 stars, I would give it a 3.5. The service was good. Because it is a small restaurant the server can see use easily when we raised our hands when we needed service. She was very prompt and efficient. The food was tasty. The decor was fun and interesting. I would dine there again.
