Be advised there's just a smidge of the "hot" drizzled on top and it's not soaked like you'd expect. But it was actually tasty. The biscuit was good too. My biggest complaint were the waffle fries. They came out almost raw. When we asked the waitress she said that they "aren't the kind that crisp" which I'm not expecting CFilA but they could at least be done. She was nice enough though to have them remake them. The next batch came out hot and cooked through, but still very mediocre as far as fries go. I think people are too hard on airport food though. I temper my expectations and don't judge them to the same standards as I'd expect outside. So, overall, this was fine.

The drink is incredibly smooth, light, and has the perfect balance of bold espresso and creamy oat milk.

At only 150 calories, it's well worth every sip and delivers a great energy boost without feeling overly sweet. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient.

Their bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich is excellent too, with a nice kick from red pepper flakes that most breakfast sandwiches skip. What really sets this place apart is the staff. My family and I ordered our sandwich to go, then spontaneously decided to stay and eat at a table instead. Without us saying anything, one of the staff noticed and asked if we'd like the food served on a plate. That kind of attentiveness isn't something you can train easily, it comes from people who actually care about the guest experience rather than just moving through a checklist. As a Christian, I also appreciated hearing worship music playing in the background, it added a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you're near the airport and want quality coffee made with care, this is the spot.

Order here.

Placed…read moremy order and was waiting patiently for my drink but found that staff were chit chatting with each other. When drinks came out, I think someone else took my coffee by accident. The two caramel macchiatos definitely looked different - one had cinnamon powder and more syrup while the other one was less ice (which is what I requested). When I shared my concerns with the staff, they were very dismissive. They didn't offer to ask for more information, or even bother to look at the two receipts I presented. I didn't have the energy to further discuss so I walked away with the wrong drink. While the coffee flavors were decent, the drink was way too sweet and had the cinnamon powder (that I didn't ask for). I couldn't even finish it. I think the prices for the coffees are reasonable compared to NYC. Their other food menus are pricey but typical for airport food. The location itself is pretty spacious with their own tables and couches. I wasn't expecting much from an airport coffee place but I would hope that staff can at least listen to what customers have to say.
