They have lots of Italian specialty products, some items imported and rare, some made in Texas or somewhere and made to look "authentic". If you need something to make or finish that special Italian meal for your lady, it's good. Wine store down the corner too.

All sorts of yum! I originally ordered a biscuit sandwich with just eggs, bacon, & cheese. As my friends & I were walking to our table, staring at other people's plates, I had to run back & switch my order to The Reggie Deluxe. The chicken didn't get overly soggy from the gravy & my eggs were cooked perfectly. Very filling (good thing we shared) but so good! My friends & I also shared the cornmeal pancakes, side of hash browns & a side of cheese fries. The pancakes were great. I loved the bits of crunchy cornmeal with each bite. Hash browns were a little overly buttered but I think that's what made them so tasty. I would pass on the cheese fries. Very small portion & the cheese was melted too much that it turned dry. The cashier was so nice & helpful when I wanted to change my order. Very typical Portland establishment. Order at the counter & they bring your food to you. They're located on a cute little street so you can also check out the shopping scene after your delicious meal! Definitely check out Pine State if you're ever in Portland!

Cosi is a chain of sandwich shops which feature a perceived healthy menu, upscale dining areas, and fast casual service system where you place an order at the counter and then have the food brought to your table. There is a pretty extensive menu of bowls, Flatbread pizza, soups, salads, sandwiches, and melts. They also serve breakfast and a coffee menu. You can choose any two of half sandwich, soup, or salad under their Taste Two menu. I chose and Asian Salmon salad and beef Gorgonzola melt. The food was fine - and certainly better for you than a Whopper from BK next door - but nothing to write home about. The salad was crisp and fresh. I got the dressing on the side. I wish I had done the same with the creamy Bleu cheese dressing on the sandwich. It was delicious and had great Gorgonzola flavor, but there was just too much of it. The menu also said the sandwich would feature steak medallions but it seemed like just deli roast beef to me. I love the dining room with a wide variety of seating types, table sizes, and layout available. Cosi should be on your rotation of lunch places if you have one nearby.

Native Atlantan who had never been to Murphy's and now I know why. Expected much more based on the menu and prices. Nice space, bland and uninteresting appetizers and entrees. Certainly not worth going back to but I can check it off my list -- permanently

I'm not sure why people give this more than 1 star. The food was bland and boring. The price was outrageous and my friend and I left feeling as if we wasted money. Maybe it was our fault for reaching there late at night, but to charge full price for the minimal amount of leftovers from the day was terrible.
