What People Are Saying
from Google"Just a mediocre place to grab a quick bite before your flight. The food is generally heated and given, nothing made too fresh. Obviously too expensive being in the terminal."
"5am in Chicago and the workers are sooo energetic and friendly! As a matcha snob, the iced matcha is actually really good. Watched them whisk the matcha powder which was a delight. Small size is huge and was $7.65, which is a normal matcha price. They have 2% milk and oat milk ($1+ more) options. Would recommend! Update: Came by again (about 2 months after my initial post) and the matcha one again, was spectacular!! Whisked to perfection and just delicious. Love it here!!"
"The only coffee shop towards gates m30-40. I should have stopped at Dunkin and got my coffee. We got a simple brew. Very bitter. Only one size I got. Huge quantity not great quality. Austin airport surely has so much more options and good quality options. I expected a lot more from O'Hare"
"We were flying out of Terminal M36 at 5a! The women behind the bar at 4/4:30a on 9/19 were incredible. They were so bubbly and kind. Their attitudes were everything, top notch energy out into the world. Love it!"
"You could instantly feel the absolute DREAD of the workers here. I went over to because it was the only place serving food in the terminal, if i wanted any other food id have to walk across the airport. Out of pure hope we tried to eat here only to spend $105 on 3 hot chocolates, 4 soggy sandwiches and 3 croissaunts. Lets start with tbe hot chocolates, They were so sweet we looked inside and there was actual sprinkles inside. Im suprised my teeth didnt fall out. We had hope for the sandwiches because at least they were in a fridge kind of thing hoping for the best. We get them and theyre soggy as if they were sitting out for a whole week. The ingredients inside tasted almost plastic. The sandwiches werent house made but the label said that they had been made by some company out in the midwest. The croissaunts were fine I guess but that was after we had asked them to warm it up, before it was cold and tasted like the sad souls who had dranken their coffee before us. Please save yourself the money and just get some steps in to walk to the next terminal."
