Cosi
“Overall a reliable lunch spot – I recommend the roasted veggie sandwich or signature salad.”
“I love the flat bread and they do use quality ingredients and not just the cheap stuff.”
“The TBM Melt (tomato, mozzerella, and basil) is delicious and so is the Tomato Aurora soup.”

Cosi's food is quick, fresh and ready to go. Its a good place to grab breakfast or lunch. Place your order and by the time you add sugar to your tea. The egg whites cup with pico de gallo flavorful with fresh pico. The tbm breakfast sandwich was so loaded with ingredients, it was almost messy when I unwrapped it – a good way to be! The servers were friendly and helpful despite the morning rush
Best of all the pricing is great for a midtown location – this one stays on my list!
Love the squagles (square bagels) here. The bread is not that thick and I get plenty of cream cheese. The fruits and sandwiches are also awesome. I love the cosi near train stations as well. Very awesome.
They hide the area where you're supposed to place orders: you go past the main cashier stand here & make a left. Tiny location but staff was friendly enough. They really should have given me napkins or had a dispenser of them since I had to go to the ladies room after eating to clean my hands. I got done fairly quick since I came after lunch time; quiet and the tuscan pesto sandwich with chicken was good. Their special chips also weren't bad. Not the location I'd go to but a cheaper option in the area than most other restaurants.
I order the Hummus & Veggie sandwich often. I have not tried any other sandwich. I like Cosi in general. It was at a Cosi in LA that i learned about hummus (remember, i am from Georgia). I was in my teens so I have a fond attachment to Cosi and the variety of sandwichs they have. The also offer salad and pizza — kinda think they are doing to much…and should stick with sandwiches… but then again i have only stuck with the same sandwich for 15 years…
I also enjoy their blondies.
The staff is super awesome… I would send a shout out to each one but then the next thing you know, they'll be gone… and the reason for this is because the management team is visiably rude and lacks people skills. The way the talk to their subordiantes is down right nasty. –trust me i eat here 4/week. Guess this is common with managers across industries.. frighten that stellar performers are coming after their job.
Cosi is known for its flatbread. They bake it fresh and cut off the ends for you to grab samples as you wait in line. The delicious flatbread is definitely the best parts of the sandwiches. However, my most favorite entrée to order is the sausage pizza, which utilizes the flatbread as the pizza crust. The pizza was even better when they had a three meat pizza that included sausage, meatballs, and pepperoni.

One of the better Cosi locations in Midtown. Aside from the awkward entrance, there isn't much else bad to say about it. The service station is in the middle well setup to accommodate the salad orders or the regular sandwiches. The food is normally prepared quick and always tastes the same. Every sandwich comes with either chips or carrots depending on what you want. They don't go cheap on the meats when you order the sandwich and the food usually rolls out and falls into the bag the sandwich came with. I always prefer the regular bread to the whole wheat as I find it to be dull and tasteless.
There is lots of seating and free WiFi.
Dont forget the free bread while you wait on line, its great!
i'm a fan of cosi. i think the prices are good – food is good to grab and go for lunch.
things i would suggest getting:
buffalo blue sandwich
turkey and brie sandwich
signature salad
tomato basil soup
broccoli cheddar soup
adobo chicken with avocado
things i would not suggest getting:
pumpkin soup – a little thick for my liking and not much flavor
hummus and veggie – just alright..
i think their pizzas and their breads are spectacular – the bread is really really good.
the one great thing about cosi is that it marks how many calories everything which i think is important to most people. the staff at this location is always really friendly and fast.
Not exactly the best-designed Cosi that I've ever been to – the stations to order are scattered around a central brick oven that makes the flatbread, and the menu is neither consolidated or well-represented in each section (you're constantly craning your head up to see – there's not a good perspective). FYI, for those wondering, the bathroom is in the back is unisex, and the store entry requires stairs… not entirely sure how someone handicapped makes it into the store?
Order your sandwich/salad/breakfast and watch it being made, I tried a TBM, and they hand it to you in short order – though it took me twice asking to get them to add extra vinaigrette. Then head over to the front door where there was a single person working the payment area for the lunch rush… no fun for the wait, lack of line control, and the crowd all hungry to pay…
My TBM sandwich… the flat bread was dry. I mean, dry enough that I actually went up and received a glass of water to help it make its way down my throat. I'm not sure why it was so dry (other times where I had fresh bread it was great, though not from this location), but my tongue and palate left feeling scratched up. The chips were fine, nothing out of place there – salty and greasy as they normally are. I left feeling less than satisfied, like a craving that had gone horrible wrong and now I didn't know if I'd ever come back to this.
