Cafeteria Domestica

B

Cappuccino at 7 a.m. in Terminal B usually means this place

Cafeteria Domestica sits airside in Terminal B, so you only reach it after security for domestic flights at Maputo (MPM). Space is basic but functional, with enough tables for roughly 20–30 people and a counter that runs along one wall. It fills up around the early-morning bank of departures between 6:30 and 8:30, then quiets down until the lunchtime flights.

The menu leans simple: expect espresso drinks, bottled water, and soft drinks, plus sandwiches and light snacks priced in the modest 150–400 MZN range. Coffee quality sits above what you get on most regional flights out of Maputo, so it’s worth grabbing a double espresso or cappuccino before you board. Portions on the sandwiches are medium-sized, fine if you just need something to hold you through a 2–3 hour hop.

Hours typically track the domestic schedule in Terminal B, opening before the first departures around 5:30 a.m. and staying open until the last evening flights, often close to 9:00 p.m. If you have a very late or irregular departure on smaller regional carriers, don’t assume it will still be serving hot food; by 8:00 p.m. you may find only pre-made items in the case.

Expect counter service only, with payment in meticais and, at most times, major cards like Visa or Mastercard accepted; still smart to keep a backup 500 MZN note in case the card terminal drops. There’s no dedicated charging bar, but a few wall sockets sit along the perimeter seats, so look for outlets near the back before you commit to a table.

Tip: if your domestic flight from Terminal B is under 90 minutes and you haven’t eaten, grab a sandwich and coffee here to avoid relying on limited onboard service once you’re in the air.
