Juice Bar

Fresh orange juice in T1 when you’re over airport espresso

In Terminal 1 post-security, Juice Bar is the rare MXP spot that cares more about fresh fruit than coffee or Campari. Expect basic smoothies, fresh orange juice pressed to order, and a few mixed juices. Figure on $$ pricing: a small cup often lands in the 4–6 EUR range, which is exactly what reviewers call out as “steep for a smoothie but better than soda.”

The menu is short: think classic orange, mixed citrus, maybe a strawberry or banana combo, not a 20-item board. One Google review sums it up as “not a huge menu but enough for a quick vitamin hit.” Regulars treat it as a pre-flight top‑up, not a full meal, and it’s listed under Terminal 1 dining rather than as a full café.

Best bets: the fresh orange juice and simple fruit smoothies. That’s what most reviews actually mention, and it fits the crowd trying to avoid heavy meals or caffeine right before boarding. Skip expecting protein powders, elaborate green mixes, or serious custom blends; complaints mention a limited range of ingredients and not much flexibility beyond what’s on the board.

Service pace varies. When there are three or four people ahead of you, reviews mention slow preparation, since every juice is made one by one. Figure on a 5–10 minute wait at busy times in T1, which matters if your boarding pass says “gate closes in 15.” The upside: you’re at the gate with something fresher than another cola.

What regulars do: grab a juice here, then grab a sandwich from another T1 outlet and eat at the gate. That avoids paying Juice Bar prices for what isn’t really a meal. Tip: if your time is tight, order the straight orange juice; it’s usually faster than multi‑fruit blends.
