Cosi definitely lives up to their self-fulfilling name. The atmosphere is relaxed but varied; you can read a magazine in their dining area, sip fresh coffee in a comfy chair, or even grab a beer in their bar area. An open-flame stone oven pumps out warm flatbread constantly, the hearty basis for their signature made to order sandwiches and pizzas. Their menu also boasts everything from soups and salads to s’mores (or if you’re really adventurous… S'mOreos). Everything is reasonably priced as well, so you won’t be breaking the bank…maybe just a 20 dollar bill.
