Next to T1 departures security, Coffee & Spice covers basics fast.
This small food counter in Terminal 1 sits airside near the main departure gates, so you can grab something without backtracking through MBJ’s crowded concourse. It focuses on coffee, light snacks, and quick bites, with most items in the US$3–10 range depending on size and add-ons. Expect standard espresso drinks alongside simple pastries and packaged items you can throw in a bag before boarding.
Coffee & Spice opens early with the first T1 flights and stays open into the evening bank, which helps if you land from a morning resort transfer around 08:00 or have an 18:00 departure. You’ll find hot coffee, iced options, and soft drinks, plus sweet pastries that work as a basic breakfast when your hotel buffet was too early or too rushed. It’s walk-up counter service only, so plan to stand while you order and wait.
Prices run a bit higher than off-airport cafés, as usual at MBJ, but still under what you’ll pay for a full meal elsewhere in Terminal 1. Don’t expect elaborate sandwiches or made-to-order hot food; this is more “grab a drink and a snack” than sit-down dining. If you want a substantial meal before a long-haul flight, use Coffee & Spice as your caffeine stop, then move on to one of the larger restaurants closer to your gate.
Practical tip: hit Coffee & Spice right after security in T1 to avoid doubling back, then carry your drink to your gate area so you’re sitting while everyone else is still queuing at the counter.
