Gate-side breakfast in Terminal 2 at La Place
La Place sits airside in Terminal 2, handy if you’re flying SAS or another Schengen carrier from CPH. It runs from early morning through late evening, so you can grab food for a 06:30 departure or a late 21:00 flight. Seating looks out toward the T2 gates, so you can eat and watch boarding zones light up without stressing about missing calls.
Food is classic La Place: build-your-own sandwiches, salads, and hot dishes prepared in an open counter. Expect prices around 75–110 DKK for a sandwich or salad bowl and 30–45 DKK for coffee. Portions run larger than the typical pre-packed terminal option, and you see ingredients assembled in front of you, which helps if you care about skipping mayo or adding extra vegetables.
Coffee and bakery items drive most of the early traffic. A latte or cappuccino sits in the 35–45 DKK range, while pastries like croissants and muffins usually land around 25–35 DKK. If you have a 20-minute window before boarding from a nearby B-gate in T2, you can realistically queue, grab a coffee and pastry, and still make it back to your gate without a sprint.
Hot items matter more around lunchtime and later. Look for panini-style grilled sandwiches and simple hot dishes that rotate, typically tagged in the 90–120 DKK range. Pre-made cold sandwiches in the fridge are cheaper and faster; figure 65–85 DKK, and you’re out in under five minutes if the line is short. Soft drinks and bottled water sit near the tills, priced similarly to other CPH spots.
One tip: lines spike sharply around the 07:00–08:30 bank of European departures from Terminal 2. If your flight leaves in that window, grab your food 30 minutes earlier than you think you need, then head to the gate with everything bagged so you can eat while you wait for boarding groups to start.
