Ritazza

Hall B has a Ritazza if you need basic coffee

This Ritazza sits airside in Hall B at Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport and runs standard early-to-evening hours that track with the main flight banks. It scores roughly a 2 out of 5 on reviews, so think functional stop, not a long sit-down. Expect typical chain pastries, pre-made sandwiches, and espresso-based drinks rather than anything regional or fancy.

Prices line up with French airport norms: around €3 for an espresso, €4–€4.50 for a cappuccino, and €4–€6 for croissants, pain au chocolat, or basic sandwiches. Portion sizes are small-to-medium, so if you have a longer wait in Hall B, budget for grabbing two items rather than one. Card payment is the default; cash is accepted but slows things down during morning peaks around the 07:00–09:00 departures.

Food is mostly grab-and-go, with refrigerated sandwiches and wraps pre-packed earlier in the day. Turnover is highest before the 06:30–08:30 waves, so if you care about freshness, aim for those hours. Later in the afternoon the selection thins, and it’s common to find only a couple of sandwich types left while still paying the full €5–€6 price.

Seating is limited to a handful of small tables right by the counter inside Hall B, and they fill up quickly when two or three departures cluster on the screens. Many passengers just take their coffee back toward the gates. Service pace tracks queue length; with 6–8 people ahead of you, you can wait 10 minutes for a latte and pastry.

Watch out for drinks served cooler than expected on very busy mornings and for pastries that taste like they have been under the glass since the previous flight wave. If you have time and are picky about food, walk the rest of Hall B to compare options before committing here.

Tip: if your flight leaves from Hall A or billi, only use Ritazza Hall B if you have at least 20 extra minutes; cross-hall walks plus queues can eat that buffer fast.
