Gate-side French carbs at Paul Express in Terminal T
Paul Express in Terminal T leans hard into French bakery basics: croissants, pain au chocolat, baguette sandwiches, and espresso-based drinks, instead of the usual Spanish-style tostadas you see elsewhere at Palma de Mallorca Airport. It’s a grab-and-go counter, not a full café, so you’re in and out in under 10 minutes if the line is short. Prices sit in the mid-airport range: expect around €2.50–€3 for a plain croissant and €3–€4 for coffee.
This outlet sits airside in Terminal T, so it’s only for ticketed passengers after security. Think of it as a backup if the nearest local café line at your gate is stacked, but you still want something familiar before a 7:00 flight. Sandwiches usually run about €6–€8, with simple fillings like ham and cheese or chicken, plus pre-packed salads in a similar range.
Quality is what you’d expect from a big French chain: consistent, not life-changing. The safe move is a fresh-looking butter croissant or pain au chocolat, plus a standard cappuccino or café au lait; skip anything that’s clearly been sitting in the case since early morning, especially filled pastries with a lot of cream. For a quick breakfast before a 9:30 departure, budget 15 minutes, including queue and prep.
Final tip: grab bottled water or juice here if your gate area only has a bar—Paul Express usually keeps cold drinks in the €2.50–€3 range, cheaper than ordering at many sit-down spots in T.
