I want here to get some dinner for I lay over. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I showed up just before closing time and they still helped me out. The sandwich was great, the service was great, and the place was clean. This is a really cool place today grab a bite or a cup of coffee

Quick little caffeine stop inside terminal C... The Americano was tasty and strong. Decent prices for an airport location. My only complaint: The Barista filled the cup WAY above the top, and slapped on the lid. Boiling hot brew, literally bulging above the rim. Thankfully I was paying attention.

Pros: The Americano my husband got was strong and my oat milk latte was legitimately tasty — not sugary at all. Quick service — ordered rapidly and got our coffees just as quickly. To note: The staff were not very friendly (which the store owners CAN help), and the atmosphere is busy and hurried (which they CANNOT help, since the coffee shop is in an airport). Overall score: A-

With my long layover and the long line, I ordered a local latte, a creative yummy concoction with local honey and cinnamon and a moist, fresh muffin. Low key service. Located by Gate C1 in c concourse. Accessible men's, women's, and family restrooms with 5 ft x 5ft area, grab bars, and diaper changers.

I ordered the cappuccino with cinnamon and honey (forgot the specialty name) and added oatmilk. It was delicious. I also love the fact that it was organic!!

Nice little spot. Never drank from here before, but it was the only one in the terminal. The staff was very welcoming, and they provided us with some good information on what to get. There were a lot of good options. I had an avocado, egg, and cheese, and the Milky Way as well as my wife, and we loved it.

I got the iced Milky Way Latte. It was pretty good. The pricing was reasonable for the airport and the wait time was short. I also ordered a blueberry muffin. I found it rather dry. They had offered to warm it up when I check out which I declined. Maybe it would've been a little better warm.
