What People Are Saying About Cosi

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Styled to evoke the feel of a Parisian café, the focal point of each restaurant is an open-flame stone oven, which swiftly turns out thin-crust pizzas, made-to-order panini and open-faced melts on Roman-style flat bread. Fresh ingredients--including mozzarella, tomatoes, buffalo chicken and secret-recipe dressings--are used in both the sandwiches and the long list of specialty salads. Sweet treats like S'mmm.Oreos (chocolate bar, graham crackers and marshmallows with an extra-large Oreo cookie) are equally popular.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
To add a little local flavor to each store, the management displays and sells the work of local artists.
Save Time:
Organizing a lunch meeting? The Cosi Boardroom Buffet offers a basket of assorted sandwiches, along with a fruit-and-cheese platter and house-made potato chips.
Know Before You Go:
Although your order is delivered to your table, it's an order-at-the-counter setup and diners are expected to bus their own tables.

I wish there was a Cosi near me. What's better than low-cost lunch at a comfy place with a fireplace? Go whenever there's one around me. Great.

Flat bread good, long lines bad

by irvinsha at Citysearch

This place has pretty good sandwiches. The flat bread is well-textured and tastes great, if you don't mind a bit of salt on your bread. The sandwiches are all fresh and have great, inventive fillings. The only problem is that this place gets struck hard by the Wall St. crowd and tends to have huge lines. Moreover, a lot of the people in the lines tend to be peons sent by their peers, meaning that they order a bunch of sandwiches and clog everything up. Oh well.

  • Pros: Good sandwiches, free flat bread sample
  • Cons: Long lines
