2-euro refill is about the only surprise at Espresso House.
This Nordic chain sits airside in Terminal 2, past security and a 5–7 minute walk from many Schengen gates. The menu is the standard Espresso House lineup you see around Scandinavia: lattes, cappuccinos, filter coffee, iced drinks, plus pastries and sandwiches. Expect coffee prices in the €4–€6 range for most espresso drinks and around €3–€4 for basic brewed coffee.
Food is grab-and-go case fare: croissants, cinnamon buns, brownies, and premade sandwiches that usually land around €6–€9. Portion sizes run small-to-medium, so a coffee and pastry combo can easily hit €8–€10. If you want something more substantial than a ham-and-cheese on basic bread, you’re better off treating this as a snack stop rather than a full meal.
Opening hours generally track morning and evening bank waves, often from around 05:00 into late evening when long-haul traffic tails off, but check day-of if you land on a quiet Sunday. Seating is limited compared with larger food courts in Terminal 2, with a handful of small tables that fill quickly during the 07:00–09:00 rush. Power outlets are hit-or-miss, so don’t plan a long laptop session here.
Espresso House is fine if you want a predictable latte and don’t care about third-wave beans or single-origin talk. Syrup-heavy drinks (caramel, vanilla, seasonal specials) cost closer to €6 and run sweet, while plain espresso shots lean on the darker, chain-style roast. If you need something dairy-free, they usually have oat milk on hand and often soy as a backup.
One practical tip: if you’re tight on time before a Schengen flight in Terminal 2, grab a filter coffee and pastry here in under 5 minutes, then carry it to the gate rather than waiting at busier full-service cafés closer to the main departures hall.
