Kamps Backstube

1 $$$$

€3 coffee and Brötchen in Terminal 1

Right in Terminal 1, Kamps Backstube runs like a straight German bakery counter: pretzels, seeded Brötchen, cold-cut rolls, and sweet pastries, plus basic filter coffee and espresso drinks. It’s post-security on the Schengen side of T1, so you can grab something after passport control without backtracking to landside options.

Think under €5 for a coffee-and-roll combo and still under €10 if you add a second pastry or a filled sandwich. This sits firmly in the “cheap airport breakfast” tier, cheaper than most sit-down spots in T1 or Terminal 2. Card payment works, but a few reviewers mention using small coins to speed things up when the line stretches at 07:30–09:00.

Food is very standard bakery fare: big pretzels with butter, salami or cheese rolls, jam-filled pastries, and croissants. Regulars call out the simple butter Brezn and a salami Brötchen as the reliable orders, especially before 09:00 when racks are just restocked. Coffee is basic but hot; don’t expect latte art, just a quick cappuccino in under 2 minutes.

Timing matters here. Several Google reviews say rolls and pastries taste noticeably fresher in the 06:00–10:00 morning window than later in the afternoon. The same reviewers complain that by 15:00 some items feel a bit dry, especially pretzels sitting in the case for hours. If it looks tired, pick a different tray or switch to a filled roll that’s just been put out.

Service style is quick and slightly rushed at peak times, with staff trying to clear a line of 10–15 people on early-morning bank departures. Regulars in Terminal 1 without lounge access swing past Kamps first for a take-away breakfast and then head straight to their gate. Tip: if your flight leaves from a remote stand bus gate, grab your coffee and pastry here before boarding, since bus areas in T1 often have only vending machines.
