Lines here easily hit 20 minutes in Terminal A.
This Starbucks sits airside in Terminal A at Ezeiza (EZE) and pulls most of the airport foot traffic. It’s the obvious meeting point because you can see the logo from a distance, and almost everyone in the group recognizes it. Expect airport pricing: drinks and snacks run noticeably higher than Buenos Aires city stores, and several reviewers say sizes feel smaller than at US branches.
Hours track the long-haul bank, so it’s usually open from early morning departures into late-night flights in Terminal A. Price tier is solidly $$, with a latte landing well above what you’d pay on Avenida Santa Fe. Seasonal US-style specials (Pumpkin Spice, certain Frappuccinos) sometimes don’t show up on the menu, so don’t count on a specific limited drink being available.
Seating runs tight here. Tables near the counter and along the rail fill quickly during the morning rush for flights leaving around 7:00–9:00. Reviews call out slow table clearing, so you may find crumbs and empty cups during peaks. Many people sit with laptops plugged into outlets for an hour or more, effectively turning it into a co‑working space, which makes finding a spare chair harder.
Wi‑Fi and power are the real draw. Travellers mention using Starbucks as a charging stop, with several outlets along the walls and by bench seating. One reviewer said they “killed time before check‑in” on their laptop here without staff pushing them out. If you need to sync offline Netflix or upload work files before a 10+ hour flight, this is one of the easier spots to do it in Terminal A.
Watch out for lines that snake well beyond the queue barriers, especially 2 hours before big international departures in the evening. Mobile ordering is not available at EZE, so you can’t skip the wait. Regulars say if the line looks longer than 10–12 people, nearby smaller coffee kiosks in Terminal A will get you a medialuna and espresso faster. Tip: if you’re set on Starbucks, hit it as soon as you clear security, before you walk toward your gate.
