Cosi

Cosi rocks! It’s convenient, they usually get you in and out pretty quickly [even when they’re busy], and I’m all about their taste two lunch option. I often go here for lunch and my «go to» meal is a taste two with tomato basil soup and a chicken pesto melt with a side of original bread. Bread wise, I’d choose Cosi over Panera. Soup wise, it’s a toss up. The tomato basil soup should really be named creamy tomato basil, but I love creamy soups so this doesn’t bother me. Their chicken pesto melt is always on point because they add a sun dried tomato spread. Delish! Cosi also has some different infused drink options that I’ve been wanting to try. You really can’t go wrong coming here, just be sure to come before the lunch crowd, if you can, because it’s a relatively small place and there isn’t much room to wait.

Overcrowded, unorganized, really over priced! Panera Bread out classes this place 10 – 2. What a waste of time. Food is blahhhh…

I just tried Cosi’s Adobo chicken with avocado bowl. I must say it was awesome! Especially the flat bread that comes warm and fresh. My new fav place for lunch!

People cooking food need to change their gloves. When you finish cleaning you need to change your gloves. How much do they cost?

Stopped in to this Cosi tonight for some soup to warm up after a walk around the city. It was pretty clear that they were just trying to clean up to close for the evening, but we were able to get some soup to go. Out of the four soups on the menu, only two were available. Turned out to be fine because those were the two we wanted! Seemed a little pricey just for soup, but the guy offered us bread to go with it.
The Tomato Basil soup with the bread was AMAZING. The soup had chunks of tomato and the bread seemed to be dusted with cheese.
So even though it was a little more than I would have expected for two cups of soup and some bread, and the selection was a little sparse — I was quite happy with the end result!

My niece is in Broadway Dreams and she is very hardcore into counting calories. This place was a dream for her (they have a board with calories for everything) she literally ate here everyday for a week and I’m not kidding! I didn’t mind because the food is DELISH! Pizza, sandwiches, soups, salads, anything you can think of! I don’t really leave reviews but I just had to because of the manager Natalie. She knows what customer service is! We had an issue with our soup one day and threw it away (tasted like it was the bottom of the pot of soup it was end of the night when came in) We came in the next day told her it tasted funny and we were thinking we’d maybe get a free cookie or something. No she comped our ENTIRE MEAL for 3 people! Super sweet people and great customer service! My niece loves the turkey light sandwich plus the best oatmeal raisin cookie I’ve ever had. I’m back home in Richmond, VA and missing one already :(

Don’t get the salads ! For 9 dollars I except a gourmet salad. Instead I got a soggy small salad with dry rubbery chicken.
The menu make everything sound so appeasing, do not be fooled, this is not chop’do in NYC — go some where else for a salads

Well, I must say I have probably been to every single cosi in Philadelphia. I’ve been here billions of times it’s my favorite/​only place to grab quick affordable food. I have had… Pesto chicken bowl, pesto chicken melt 2 million times, adobo bowl once, BBQ chicken flat bread pizza, chicken Caesar salad, Shanghai chicken salad, chicken noodle soup, tomato basil soup which I love, turkey light with spicy honey mustard. And the best white chocolate and pecan cookie you’ll ever have in your life. Good quick food. Fresh ingredients my favorite place.

I love cosi as a quick pop in spot for lunch while I’m at work. You really can’t be a the pick two option. I’m boring and get the same thing every time but it really is good. The TBM melt– with extra dressing and the caesar are great. Not ground breaking food options but to pop in for lunch during work it really gets the job done.

I know Cosi doesn’t get great reviews. I will start by saying the food is very good. Great go to place for lunch. Kids meals are great. Downside is not very organized in regards to space and service. It is like going to a romper room. Hence the three star rating. On food alone it is four star. Beats the hell out of true fast food and food is much higher quality. Just needs a make over.

This location used to be good, several years ago. About 3 years ago it started to go downhill and now it is just terrible. There were 2 people working on a Saturday evening. Nearly all the tables were full and there were people waiting to order and to pay. The sandwich that was made for me was on hard bread, burnt and barely edible. They need to either shape up or ship out.

Went for lunch, ordered a simple sandwich. The employees made the wrong sandwich — no big deal. But what left me feeling sour was that the employees making my sandwich were very brusque and didn’t apologize or really communicate in any way when they messed up my order. I know it’s busy around lunch time and there are a lot of rude patrons, but come on, simple courtesy goes a long way. Even if the food is great, I’m not going back to an establishment where my pleases and thank-​yous fall on deaf ears.

I’ve been to several Cosi locations, I usually get turkey light sandwich or tomato basil soup. This place is really tiny, not comfortable, not so clean and it’s dark inside. Sandwich was good, staff ok, girl by the register is nice.

Had a group of students with me, and we found this place by accident. The food was good (with many healthy choices), and the service was very good and efficient. We need one (or more) of these in the Pittsburgh area!

I stopped in to this Cosi location after an appointment downtown. It was near where I parked so I decided to stop in for a quick lunch before running more errands.
I ordered the Steak Gorgonzola Melt, Mojito Lemonade, and a Blondie brownie. The employees making the food barely made eye contact while I was ordering. However, I actually struck up a whole conversation with the person at the sales counter. She really made my day with how friendly she was!
The sandwich (on a flatbread, of course) was excellent! The brownie was good, but the mojito lemonade was very watery. The lemonade was pre-​poured with ice already in it but it wasn’t a hot day so I took a chance. So much for spending $ 2+ on lemon water! In addition, the seating area was a little dirty.
I’d go back with the quickness for that sandwich though… to go.

Oh Cosi! How i miss thee!
I first fell in love with you back during the college days in UCity. The flatbread is simply the bomb dot com, there’s nothing to not like about it. My usual is the TBM warmed. The M melts in your mouth but can be messy. Their mojito lemonade is so refreshing on a hot summer day. So we tried the phở ga cause it was on the soup menu, next time just pass on it.
Oh Cosi, i wish you could be closer!

As far a Cosi goes, it’s about average. Nothing special, nothing horrible.
However, this is the problem these days with Cosi — it’s just a place that is «still there» — it doesn’t bring good or bad feelings — it’s just there.
It’s time to spruce up the image. It is a really stale franchise.

Overall feeling about Cosi: underwhelming. It’s like the «ehhh» expression combined with some fellow mediocre responses and made a restaurant. In all fairness, however, I tried the tortilla chicken soup with flatbread and was, for once, at peace with it. I know this is far from high praise, but for a Cosi — a place that bases its entire marketing scheme on its undeniable convenience rather than any quality to speak of — the soup and even the flatbread was decent. In addition, this particular location has a nice efficiency, even if it’s a little hard to figure out the first time around. FYI: you order food first then take it the register. Who knew?
When you consider my initial feelings about Cosi, to bump up a review to a 3-​star is even more than I thought was possible. Even now, though, every time I go to Cosi will be for lack of a better option, unfortunately. I feel like a beleaguered parent with crying child (my inner hungry child) who eventually says, «Fine! Let’s just go to Cosi!»

I eat at this particular Cosi spot because it’s within walking distance from my job. There’s never any consistency. One day I go an order a Grilled Chicken T.B.M. melt or any of the other sandwiches I enjoy and its great. Then, when I decide to go a few weeks later, the bread taste stale, the service is slow, something with the sandwich is off, etc. It’s honestly hit or miss with this place, which is why I feel like I can never do a true review. However, with my last few times being more «miss» than «hit» I think two stars is appropriate because I have experienced better.
Get it together 15^th Street Cosi.

I write this review about this particular cosi location in particular. I had been a here a few times and have always had issues with my order but this past trip finally pissed me off to the point where I will never return.
Whenever I go here they always mess up my order in someway. This past time I went, I decided to try something new. I usually get the Tandoori Chicken sandwich but I saw a poster for the Adobo chicken with avocado bowl so i decided to give it a try. After waiting about 5 minutes to order, The manager himself comes out to help with the line and takes my order. He makes my order and the avocado he puts in was very brown and he only gives me 2 pieces. I was really pissed off because #1 who serves someone brown avocado and #2 HE WAS THE MANAGER!
I immediately complained and told him I wanted something new instead. I got the tandoori chicken sandwich as a replacement. To top things off, when I go to the register to pay, the guy accidentally added $ 0.09 to my credit card as a tip. He immediately apologized and told me but at that point, I just wanted to get the hell out of there so I let it go.
This is the WORST cosi ever.
