Gate-side sugar fix near the middle of Barbara Jordan
Natalie’s Candy Jar sits in the Barbara Jordan terminal concourse, easy to hit on a quick walk between central gates. It’s grab-and-go only, with self-serve bins plus packaged treats you can toss in a carry-on. Expect airport pricing: bulk candy by the pound runs higher than a grocery store, but you’re paying for location and last-minute options before boarding.
This is a build-your-own bag setup with gummies, sour belts, chocolates, and classic airport impulse buys like jelly beans and licorice. Because it’s all pre-flight friendly, everything is TSA-safe and post-security, so you don’t have to juggle it at the checkpoint. Figure around $6–$10 if you’re just topping off a snack stash, more if kids go wild with the scoops.
There’s usually a solid mix of name-brand packaged candy bars and travel-sized sweets lined up at eye level, plus some sugar-free and nut-free options mixed into the bins. Labels sit right on the cases, so check for allergens before scooping. It’s all counter service, no seating, and it runs standard terminal hours tied to main flight banks in Barbara Jordan, roughly early morning through the last departures.
Practical move: grab a small resealable bag of candy here, then skip the pricier snack options at the gate newsstands closer to boarding.
