Boston Restaurant Talk reports the three Cosi locations in downtown Boston appear to be kaput and that the CambridgeSide one might be done for as well.
I knew something would go wrong after they got rid of the steak and gorgonzola melt. I bid you farewell Cosi, my favorite healthy choice throughout high school and college
This was my healthy go to place that wasn't a salad. They had some decent sandwiches that were good. This was my go-to place when I worked on Summer Street ~6 years ago. I know it was a bit ago, but not *that* long ago. It was busy then at lunch, makes you wonder what happened.
But yeah it's full circle, I remember when these started to open up.. lines out the door, and they kept opening locations (I think they had up six or seven at one point). It was a big thing.
Now they are all gone..
So maybe in ~10-12 years we will see "Dig Inn' 'sweet green' close and whatever food-fad comes in to replace it..
And got out of bankruptcy the next year. But apparently they are now having severe financial problems again since it is not just the Boston locations that have suddenly closed... their locations in other states are doing the same.

Agreed...

squagels
were probably the beginning of the end....
oh no!
that was the best choice for a decent relatively healthy breakfast at South Station. This makes me sad. :(
Bolocco
Has great hearty and healthy breakfast bowls ( if they are still open)
Adam, it really is full circle

What happened? Cosi filed for bankruptcy in 2016...

For me, their menu is just
For me, their menu is just tired and uninspiring. Salty mediocre sandwiches and salads. People expect better than that for lunch these days.
125 High St
125 High St location seems alive and well FWIW
High Street is still open and awesome
Was at the High Street store today. Very busy. Great meal.
Seaport Location also closed
Not part of the linked story, but the Seaport location also appears to be closed.
