Although Cosi is close to my home I had not yet visited as I heard many not so fantastic things about this place. To sum it up, "It isn't that bad." My muffeleta sandwich included a gigantic handful of cold olives in the middle of my otherwise warm lunch, but my friend's salad seemed quite tasty. My bread was craggy and hard. My side of carrots instead of chips were scary looking. (they looked like baby carrots that have been sitting in your fridge for 3 weeks) I may return, but not upon my own volition. Panera is better, way better. (2.5 stars)
