Gate-side caffeine fix in Terminal 3
This Starbucks sits in Terminal 3 at Copenhagen Airport, handy if you’re flying SAS or jumping on the train into the city from the T3 station. It’s after check-in but before you drop down to the tracks, so you can grab coffee on the way to either departures or the DSB/Øresundståg platforms. Signage in T3 clearly points to it, and you’ll usually spot the line before you see the logo.
Drinks run at typical Scandinavian airport pricing: expect around 45–60 DKK for a latte or cappuccino and a bit more, roughly 60–70 DKK, for larger seasonal drinks. Filter coffee comes in cheaper, closer to 30–40 DKK, and you can usually get a pastry-and-coffee combo under 80 DKK. Card and contactless payments are standard, and cash may be refused during off-peak periods, so have a card ready.
Food is the usual Starbucks mix: croissants, pain au chocolat, muffins, and pre-packed sandwiches in the 50–80 DKK range. You’ll often see yogurt pots and fruit cups in the cold case, useful if you need something before a short hop to Stockholm or Oslo and don’t plan to eat onboard. Portions lean small by US standards, so plan on two items if this is your main meal.
Lines spike around early morning bank departures between 06:00 and 09:00, especially on Monday and Friday, and again late afternoon from about 16:00. Service is generally quick, but a 15-person queue can still eat 10–15 minutes. Power outlets near seats are limited, so charge in the main T3 seating areas closer to check-in counters 101–140 if you need to top up.
Tip: If your flight leaves from a non-Schengen gate in T3, grab your Starbucks before passport control; there’s less food choice once you pass into the E-gates area.
