Così on Dearborn: Café, Coffee, and Chicago Loop Catering
Così sits at 33 N. Dearborn St., in the center of the Chicago Loop, a block from Daley Plaza and steps from Block 37 and the State Street stores. It's a weekday stop for breakfast in Chicago before the office, a quick lunch between meetings, or a coffee on the way to the Daley Center for commuters, downtown staff and visitors alike.
The same Dearborn Street kitchen handles Così catering in Chicago, with breakfast bundles, boxed lunches, sandwich baskets, platters, salads and hot buffets for Loop offices, law firms and events across the Chicagoland market.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
Breakfast at the Dearborn Café
Breakfast runs until 11:00 am. The Classic Egg & Cheese starts at $5.49, with Bacon, Egg & Cheese and Sausage, Egg & Cheese at $6.49, each built on a toasted bagel, croissant, original or multigrain flatbread, or a gluten-free wrap. For something with a kick, the Santa Fe adds pepper jack, pickled jalapeño and house-made pico de gallo, and the Spicy Meatless Chorizo is a fully plant-based build. Avocado toast comes three ways, steel-cut oatmeal is served as a petite cup or a hearty bowl, and honey-berry overnight oats are ready to grab. Add a medium coffee for $2 or a medium latte for $3.50.
Lunch and Coffee
From 11:00 am, Così serves lunch from the Dearborn counter: flatbread sandwiches, hot melts, soups, salads and bistro bowls. The TBM (tomato, basil and mozzarella) is the signature, available plain or with chicken or prosciutto, and the melts run from a Pesto Chicken Melt to a Bacon Turkey Cheddar Melt.
Salads range from the Kale Chicken Caesar to the Così Cobb and a build-your-own, while bistro bowls start on jasmine rice, quinoa or cauliflower rice. The Taste 2: Two pairs any two of a half sandwich, a half salad or a cup of soup for $14.99. The coffee bar covers drip and iced coffee, espresso drinks, chai and hot chocolate, with lemonade, iced tea and fountain soda alongside.
Where It Is in the Loop
The café is on North Dearborn Street between Washington and Randolph, at ground level in the middle of the Loop. Daley Plaza and the Richard J. Daley Center sit a block west, Block 37 is around the corner, and the State Street stores, the Chicago Theatre and Millennium Park are all a short walk east. CTA Blue Line trains stop at Washington/Dearborn directly below, so it's an easy stop for anyone commuting into downtown. Get Directions

The employees are always so kind, and the food is always fresh and tasty with filling portions. My favorite for lunch is the pick two with a sandwich and soup. The nicest staff, and reasonable prices. Go go go!

Chicago Catering from Così on Dearborn: What Così Caters
Così catering in Chicago runs from the Dearborn Street kitchen in the Loop, delivering to the entire Chicagoland market. The catering menu covers breakfast bundles, boxed lunches, sandwich baskets, platters, salads and hot buffets, sized for a small team meeting or a room of several hundred. View the Catering Menu.
Breakfast Catering
Così offers breakfast catering in Chicago built around three bundles. The Continental Breakfast Bundle pairs a breakfast or pastry platter with fruit salad, coffee and orange juice. The Morning Motivator Bundle brings bagels and spreads with a yogurt parfait bar or an oatmeal bar. The Breakfast Sandwich Bundle gathers a mix of egg sandwiches with fruit salad, coffee and juice. For a hot spread, the Hot Breakfast Buffet serves 10, with scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, bacon, sausage and bagels. An early start usually means booking at least 24 hours ahead.
Lunch Catering and Boxed Lunch Orders
Midday orders arrive as individually packed boxes or buffet-style spreads. A boxed lunch in Chicago starts with the Così Box 1 (any sandwich or salad with a brownie or cookie) and builds up through Box 2 and Box 3, which add a side salad or fresh fruit, plus a drink. There are matching boxes for salads, bistro bowls, soup, the Taste 2 Two and pizza, so a mixed group is covered without separate orders. See the current catering menu for the full lineup and pricing.
Sandwich Baskets and Buffets
Sandwich catering in Chicago comes two ways. Sandwich baskets need a minimum of five sandwiches, each cut in half and individually wrapped, chosen from the current Così selection with chips or baby carrots. Sandwich buffets add a salad and a dessert platter, and cocktail sandwich platters suit receptions and after-work events. Picks run from the TBM and Turkey & Fontina to the Old World Italiano and a Harissa Hummus, Avocado & Veggie build.
Platters, Salads, and Hot Buffets
Platters come in small (serves 10), medium (serves 15) and large (serves 20), with fresh veggie, cheese, fruit and dessert choices. Catering salads serve up to 10 and arrive with freshly baked flatbread, and a soup box serves 10 as a side. Bistro bowl buffets for 10 can be built on jasmine rice, quinoa, mixed greens or cauliflower rice, with a Sterno setup available to keep hot buffets warm. Calorie and allergen details are listed on the Così menu page.
Office and Department Catering for Chicago Teams
Office catering in Chicago has to arrive on time and already sorted by person, especially in a Loop tower where a meeting room fills up fast. Così handles that with individually packed boxes, shared platters and setup on request.
Tell us about dietary preferences and allergies when you order: the catering menu includes vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options, though we cannot guarantee allergen-free food. Review current allergen information before ordering.
Teams on a fixed weekly schedule can set up a standing order by phone, so the same delivery repeats without being re-entered.
Eligible tax-exempt organizations can send a certificate to the catering team to update the account. Così also supports catering in the Chicago Loop through ezCater, DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats.
Corporate Catering for Larger Events
Larger events run past a single conference room. Choose individual meals, platters or buffets to fit the group, and contact the catering team early to lock in capacity, timing and pricing. Così caters for groups from five people up to a thousand, so a department lunch and a full-floor event are both on the table. Bigger orders carry earlier change and reduction deadlines, so confirm your final headcount in good time. See the Catering FAQs for the current change and cancellation policy.
Across more than 4,600 ezCater reviews and close to 30,000 orders, corporate customers rate Così 4.7 out of 5 brand-wide.

Why Teams Order From Così
Così is known for sandwiches in Chicago on hearth-fired flatbread, alongside fresh salads, soups and bistro bowls. Catering salads and soup boxes arrive with freshly baked flatbread, and sandwich baskets and buffets come cut in half and individually wrapped, so they're easy to set out. Because the kitchen sits right on Dearborn Street in the center of the Loop, deliveries to nearby offices, courthouses and State Street venues stay short.
