Gate A14 sugar stop with a 4:30 a.m. opening
Right by gate A14 in the Main Terminal, Natalie's Candy Jar is the quick grab spot when you realize you need snacks before boarding. It runs daily from 4:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET, so early morning departures and mid-afternoon flights are covered, but late-night flyers are out of luck. This is a straight candies and sweets shop, no coffee bar, no hot food.
Most of the action is bulk candy by the pound plus packaged sweets you can toss in a carry-on. Prices are airport-level, so expect to pay more per pound than at a mall candy place, but it's still cheaper than loading up on single-serve bags from a newsstand near A14. If you care about wrappers vs. loose pieces, they stock both, with plenty of gummy and chocolate options.
Think of it as a backup plan when the Main Terminal snack lines are long and you just want sugar fast. It sits post-security on the A concourse side, so this only makes sense if you're flying from an A gate, not trekking over from B. Figure five extra minutes to fill a bag, pay, and get back to your seat at A14.
Tip: If your flight boards before 5:00 a.m., hit Natalie's Candy Jar right at the 4:30 a.m. opening, then walk straight back to your gate so you're not stuck with the last boarding group and no snacks.
