Caffe Nero

Cappuccinos and charging ports before Domestic security lines

Caffe Nero sits landside near the Domestic check-in area at Adnan Menderes (ADB), so you can grab a drink before heading through the scanners. It opens early with the morning departures and usually stays open into the late evening bank of flights, roughly 06:00–22:00. Expect standard chain pricing for Turkey: a regular espresso-based drink lands around 70–110 TRY depending on size and add-ons.

You get the usual Caffe Nero lineup: espresso, cappuccino, lattes, and iced coffee, plus basic teas and bottled drinks. Food runs to pre-made sandwiches, croissants, brownies, and packaged snacks sitting in the front counter fridge. Nothing here wins awards, but the filter coffee is hot, consistent, and comes in large takeaway cups that work well if you’re walking to either the Domestic or International security entrances.

Seating is limited: a few small tables and bar‑style stools looking onto the main departures hall. Outlets are hit-or-miss, so don’t count on charging multiple devices at once; grab the one visible socket near the wall if you spot it open. The space fills quickly around the 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00 departure waves, when several AnadoluJet, Pegasus, and Turkish Airlines flights leave within minutes of each other.

Service pace matches airport flow: during quiet mid‑day periods your drink might be out in under 3 minutes, but at peak times expect 10 minutes from order to cup. Staff generally handle card payments without issues, including contactless in Turkish lira. If you need a quick bite, the ham-and-cheese style toastie or simple cheese sandwich usually heats up in under 5 minutes, which works for tight check‑in cutoffs.

One practical tip: if your flight departs from the International terminal, buy your coffee here and carry it through; airside options thin out near some far-flung gates, and prices typically jump another 10–20 TRY per drink inside security.
