Gate-side caffeine fix in Terminal 1
Right in Terminal 1, So! Coffee Shop Boutique covers the basics: espresso, cappuccinos, soft drinks, and grab-and-go snacks a few minutes’ walk from most Schengen gates. It sits airside after security, so you can stay close to boarding while you refuel. Expect standard French coffee bar pricing rather than Paris-center sticker shock.
The menu leans on coffee first: espresso, allongé, cappuccino, plus hot chocolate and teas. You’ll also see croissants, pain au chocolat, and a few sandwiches or wrapped pastries in the case. It’s more of a quick pit stop than a sit-down café, with a small counter and limited seating in the immediate area of Terminal 1.
Opening hours generally track the morning and early-evening wave of flights in Terminal 1, so you’re safe for a caffeine hit on most departures between roughly 06:00 and early evening. Late-night or very late-arriving passengers may find shutters down, so don’t bank on this as your last stop after 21:00–22:00.
Expect airport markups: a basic coffee often lands in the €2–€3 range, with pastries in the €2–€4 band and simple sandwiches higher. It’s fine for a pre-flight croissant and espresso; skip anything that looks like it has sat in the fridge all day and grab the latest-baked pastry instead.
Tip: if your gate in Terminal 1 isn’t posted yet, order to go and sit within sight of the nearest departures board so you can move quickly once the screen updates.
