Costa Coffee

Gluten-free cakes by D gates in T2

Costa Coffee sits airside in Terminal 2 near the D Schengen gates, and it’s one of the few PRG spots where gluten-free travellers consistently report safe packaged cakes. FindMeGlutenFree even tags this branch with a gluten-free menu flag, and reviewers mention clearly marked GF slices in the chilled case.

This is a standard Costa setup: espresso drinks, teas, bottled drinks, and pastries, with prices a notch above city branches but in line with other PRG cafés (expect around 80–120 CZK for basic coffee drinks). It’s squarely in the $$ bracket for the airport, so a latte and a cake can easily hit 200 CZK.

The counter sits close to the D gate cluster in T2, so it’s easy to spot as you head toward your Schengen departures. Regulars on r/Prague mention grabbing a flat white here before flights, mainly because the chain is predictable compared with some smaller cafés deeper in the terminal.

Gluten‑sensitive travellers use this Costa as their default coffee stop in Terminal 2 and specifically go for the pre‑packaged gluten‑free cakes to avoid cross‑contamination from shared bakery tongs. One FindMeGlutenFree user called the clearly marked GF cake selection a “lifesaver before my flight,” especially when time is tight and other options are unclear.

Complaints cluster around busy morning and late‑afternoon banks, when multiple flights out of D gates push waits past 10 minutes and the queue spills into the corridor. Seating is limited to a small number of tables, and people working on laptops often hold them for an hour or more, so don’t count on sitting if your boarding time is inside 30 minutes.

What regulars do: they grab a medium coffee at Costa and pair it with cheaper snacks bought earlier at the Billa supermarket landside in T2 to keep costs down. One last tip: if your priority is a gluten‑free dessert, check the chilled case first; if the GF cakes are sold out, you can pivot to just coffee and use your backup snacks instead of paying airport prices for standard pastries.
