Gate-side caffeine and snacks in T1
Just past security in T1 at GGT, Café & Gift Shop is the main spot for a coffee or quick bite before flights to Nassau and Miami. It runs on airport time, opening early for morning departures and staying open until the last waves of afternoon and early evening flights clear out. Expect a simple counter-service setup: order, pay, and grab a seat nearby or head straight back to the small gate area.
Café & Gift Shop serves basic hot drinks, bottled water, soft drinks, and grab-and-go snacks at typical small-island-airport prices, with many items landing in the USD $3–$8 range. You’ll usually find pastries, chips, candy, and a few fridge items you can carry onto a 45‑minute hop to Nassau or a longer US leg. Portions and selection lean practical rather than gourmet, but it beats boarding hungry after check‑in and immigration.
The gift side stocks Exuma‑branded souvenirs, magnets, and T‑shirts, plus sunscreen and last‑minute beach odds and ends you forgot in Georgetown. Inventory shifts a bit with cruise and resort traffic, but you can almost always grab a logo mug or keychain in under five minutes. Payment typically runs on both USD cash and major cards, which is handy if you’ve already burned through your Bahamian dollars.
Plan on stopping here right after security in T1, before you commit to a gate seat in the compact waiting area, since there are no other real food options once you sit down near boarding.
