Cosi

I know a chain restaurant… but whatever…
They make wheat bread that taste yummy… they do these melts that are filling, and can either be accompanied with a little bag of carrots or a bag of chips.
a little expensive for what it truly is… but if you are in the area and that is the only thing in the mall.lol. than I would go there to eat…
it is good when you are really hungry… but I wouldn’t try to find it anywhere… it’s decent for what is around if you are torn between panda express and cosi… lol.

I like the atmosphere of Cosi and it’s a welcome establishment on an otherwise sketchy street corner. I wait for my bus outside of Cosi and it does class-​up the intersection a tad. Just a tad…
So now for the eats…
The salads are very sizable and come with their delicious signature bread. It’s so filling and darn healthy with a choice of low fat and fat free dressings that aren’t gross tasting.
The salads also have some more creative ingredients than your basic tomato or cucumber. Fruits, nuts, cheeses, seeds… all sorts of good stuff. That’s what you need to keep a salad interesting!
Kinda pricey, about $ 7.50 or so on average, depending how swanky your salad is. But eaty healthy is expensive, I’m learning to deal with that…

Right now they are gonna get a 3 star. Mighta been four except for the bitchy boy cashier. Yeah. I know he probably just has low self esteem but if he is working there… well he isn’t all that and a slice of bread.
Speaking of the bread. Really fabulous. And I think maybe it doesn’t have too much or maybe any yeast in it! Always a plus for me and my trick stomach.
Back to dude. Not like anyone was behind me or anything but he got all impatient when I couldn’t figure out what to order! Sheesh. Certainly had their been other patrons I would have stepped aside or something or other.
Anyway, I got some pesto chicken sandwich thing. Which was really quite good. Oh except the damn lettuce. It had whatever they spray on that bag lettuce on it. Ick poo yuck. So, I removed that. But, the chicken was really great. The pesto was ok though a little overdone and I don’t think I much liked the dried tomato paste crap, I mean spread.
Regardless of the negatives above, I liked my sandwich thingy. You know, it really is more like a taco. Anyway, it had tons o’ chicken in it and that was great.
My gf liked her salad but strangely, it had very very little chicken in it.
She said the boy who took our order is always like that. Next time we’ll get in another line.
And next time I’ll use the build yer own to make my own sandwich taco thingy.
Oh and the gf paid so I have no idea how much it cost. Yay for gf’s!

i had no problems with the food (a choice of baby carrots with my sandwich instead of chips!) or service, but it’s too expensive — with not very generous portions — to visit regularly.
nice and clean for downtown, though.

we had free coupons at work that had us venturing here on a daily basis.
each time i ordered somehting i was disgusted. bad bites of meat in sandwiches. oily salads. not at ALL worth the 0 $ i spent.

Looking at this place from outside, I thought, «Oh my gosh, what a cute little place, we should have more places like this in Seattle!» Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! The food and service didn’t at all turn out as good as its looks. You walk in, employees look at you straight in the eye as they make their way to a table to wipe it, and not even a hi! Then you go up the stairs to place an order and the person at the register just couldn’t look any more uninterested. I ordered a hot sandwich, which was nothing close to even warm. And the bread that was supposed to be at least somewhat soft was hard like a rock. Trust me making that sandwich wouldn’t even take me 2 minutes to prepare. It was just bland and nothing special. The girl that brought our food to our table sort of swang by and dropped the plastic plates on our table and didn’t even say enjoy it something of that sort. Where is the customer service people? I don’t plan on going back to this location, I might give them another shot at another location sometime someday.
