Bought a tea and cappuccino. Cappuccino was good but tea had no flavour. Asked for a second teabag as the bags hardly have tea in them (half full) and they wanted another 2 dollars. Asked for a refund and they gave us the other bag free. Still tasted like hot water. Also got a carrot cake slice which was nice

Came to order breakfast before my flight and saw a genuine act of kindness. The woman behind the counter went out of her way to assist another customer in a wheelchair to move the table chairs out of the way so they could sit at the table and enjoy breakfast. Wanted to give a good review so she gets recognized - apologies I did not catch her name. It was at 6:45 am on February 1, 2024. Thank you for making the world a little brighter!

First time at this terminal. Happy to see a cafe here. I had a toasted turkey, cheese, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. It was perfect to hold me over.

The food was great, I had chicken strips and fries. The fries could use salt but besides that they were super yummy! The ladies there were awesome and worked very hard, which is kuch appreciated

It’s the only place to get food at the South Terminal but I stop in every time I come through (about twice a month). The fries could use salt right out of the fryer but otherwise everything from food to coffee is decent. I recommend the beef dip.
