    HEADLINE: stop here for your coffee, it does not get better the further in you go…read more Illy is positioned directly right after passing through security at LCY (to the left). You'll probably go all "FOMO" and think -- what if something brilliant lies beyond this? What could there be!? Let me tell you, not much. Caffe Nero, a few overpriced restaurants, Panopolis. It's not great. If you want the nicest coffee in City Airport -- Illy has it for you. And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT GET COFFEE AT PANOPOLIS unless you like coffee that tastes like cigarette burns. Caffe Nero is a close second but always cramped and a bit too frou frou for me. Illy has this on lock. Beyond the coffee (which they make fresh and properly with an actual espresso machine, no push button ish going on here) -- they have a nice selection of baguette sandwiches that travel well, salads, and some antipasti (It's Italian after all!). If you're really engaged and have some time they even sell whole bean and other coffee oddities. I hope I've saved someone (ANYONE!) from a bad coffee or having to sheepishly backtrack to Illy once realizing the grass is not greener on the other side of the airport. This is it folks, get your coffee and snacks here then proceed into the glorious LCY, I'm a big fan of the airport, but the coffee options are slim. Double espresso was on point.

    Illy - So many sandwiches! Much better than other options in the airport.
