Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Across the available record, Cosi has three inspections on file, the first dated 2024. Cosi was last inspected on Oct 8, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

“Evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
