Cosi

This Cosi is like all the others but they're very fast! This particular location is always very busy, but I've never waited for more than 15 minutes on the busiest times.  They do not however follow specific directions.  I asked for a salad without croutons twice, but they decided not take my request seriously.  If you want your meal made respecting your requests, you should pack your lunch at home.

Very friendly and efficient service, but ok, I came in outside rush hours...

I don't have much use for lunch at Cosi with Pastoral and the rest of the French Market two blocks away, but their coffee is really solid stuff.  It is strong, smooth, and effective.  Free refills--it's self service--are an added incentive for those in need of a little extra spring in their step.  

The line in the morning is usually pretty short, too.  It's fine by me that so many others continue to wait for burned coffee elsewhere, because I'm usually in and out here in about 90 seconds.
