Custom Flatbread Sandwiches From an Open Stone Hearth
Build a custom sandwich on fresh flatbread, then watch the stone-hearth oven work in the Barr Building.
🥪 Flatbread Lunch Ritual
At Così, the midday move is a custom sandwich on flatbread, with the open stone hearth oven working in view. The Barr Building address puts it right into a downtown workday, and the storefront opens onto 17th Street NW with a quick in and out feel. The menu also carries salads, bowls, and handcrafted beverages, giving a lunch group room to split its attention without turning the stop into a production.
The oven keeps the meal from feeling like a standard grab and go. The visible hearth turns the bread into part of the lunch ritual, not just a wrapper for the filling. Così also carries a 4.4 rating from 389 reviews, a clear signal for a quick bite when the group wants something more composed than a desk meal. Order around the sandwich, leave space for a salad or bowl, and keep the plan close to the 17th Street corridor.
