Terminal 2 has a Subway if you just want known bread and fillings
In Terminal 2, Subway is the safety play when you don’t feel like decoding German menus before a flight out of CGN. It runs as a standard counter-service shop after security in the T2 area, with the usual build-your-own subs and salads. Expect pricing in the typical airport range: a 15 cm sub with a drink sits in the high single digits in euros, more if you go footlong with extras.
The menu tracks the global Subway template: familiar options like tuna, meatball, veggie, and turkey, plus a rotating “Sub of the Day” deal when available. Bread choices match what you’d see in town — think Italian, wholegrain, and cheese-topped — and you can get it toasted in a couple of minutes. It’s one of the faster food options in Terminal 2, so you can usually be in and out within about 10 minutes if the queue is short.
Drinks lean on bottled soft drinks and water, with standard fountain sodas and a basic coffee option, nothing specialty-grade. You’ll also find a few add-ons such as cookies and chips at the counter, typically under €2 each. Seating is limited and mostly spillover into the terminal seating nearby, so plan on grabbing a tray and taking it to your gate if you’re tight on time before boarding.
Subway rarely comes up in CGN trip reports, which tracks: it’s there to solve hunger, not to be anyone’s destination meal. Expect the usual airport markup and the same taste you know from city locations in Germany. Tip: hit it before the top-of-the-hour waves of departures from Terminal 2; lines tend to form in the 45 minutes before major bank departures, and the short wait can suddenly become a 15-minute stall.
