Cafe Coffee Day

When the Third Wave line spills over, CCD in T2 picks up the slack

This Cafe Coffee Day sits inside Terminal T2 at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru, and regulars treat it as the backup plan when Third Wave Coffee is slammed. Expect the familiar CCD menu you see at high streets and malls across India: hot coffees, cold frappes, basic teas, ready-made sandwiches, and muffins. Prices run in the ₹180–₹320 range for most coffee drinks, with grab-and-go snacks usually under ₹250.

The outlet is past security in T2, so it works well if you’ve already cleared checks and don’t want to walk back toward the main Third Wave outlet. Service is counter-style with paper cups, so this is a quick in-and-out stop more than a sit-down café. You’ll find standard options like Cappuccino, Cafe Latte, and cold coffee, plus sugary blends like Devil’s Own, all made with the same recipes you see at CCD stores across Bengaluru.

Food is pre-prepped and reheated: think paneer tikka sandwiches, veg patties, and pastries sitting in a glass display next to the register. A sandwich-and-coffee combo will usually land around ₹450–₹550. Quality is predictable rather than special, which is exactly why people who already know CCD gravitate here when they just want caffeine before an Indigo or Vistara domestic departure from T2.

Expect airport pacing, not café lingering: staff focus on clearing orders quickly, especially during morning banks around 5:00–9:00 and evening peaks from 18:00 onwards. Card and UPI payments both work, and they handle split payments without fuss. If you’re tight on time and your gate is in the mid-T2 range, factor in a 5–10 minute round trip to swing by CCD, order, and walk back.

Tip: If the queue here hits 10+ people, grab a basic filter coffee or bottled drink, skip the made-to-order frappes, and you’ll still reach your T2 gate in under 10 minutes.
