£4–£6 juices while you wait at EDI departures
Freshly Squeezed sits airside in Edinburgh Airport’s main departures area, a small counter spot for quick fruit and veg drinks before boarding. There’s no seating beyond nearby shared gate benches, so think grab-and-go between security and your gate. The board leans heavily on made-to-order juices and smoothies rather than coffee or hot food.
Most regular fruit blends land in the £4–£6 range, with larger “power” smoothies creeping slightly higher. Expect standard combos like orange, apple, carrot, and berry mixes, plus a few “green” options with spinach or kale. Staff press the juice in front of you, so it’s fresher than bottled options from WHSmith or Boots down the concourse.
Turnaround time is usually under 5–7 minutes for a single drink, but it can stretch longer if a family of four orders back-to-back smoothies. Nothing here is a meal; you’re pairing this with a sandwich from another outlet or using it as a light breakfast. If you want something filling, skip the juice-only plan and grab food elsewhere in departures first.
The board shows clear pricing in pounds for every size, which helps when you’re juggling a 10:15 departure and watching your budget. Add-ons like protein or “boost” shots appear as 50p–£1 extras; fine if you care, unnecessary if you don’t. Flavours skew sweet, so ask them to hold added syrups if you’re not into sugar-heavy drinks.
Freshly Squeezed’s 3.5-star average rating tracks with what you’ll likely get: decent juice, occasionally uneven portions, and service that depends a lot on who’s on shift. Card payments are standard, and contactless works faster than chip-and-PIN when the queue builds.
Practical tip: order as you pass on the way to your gate, then circle back after a quick loo stop; by the time you return, your drink is almost always ready.
