Gate-side market in Terminal 2 for last‑minute basics
Root and Branch Market sits airside in Terminal 2, a short walk from most Delta and American gates, and runs typical early-morning to late-evening hours that track with the day’s first and last departures. It’s a small grab-and-go shop, so think quick in-and-out while you’re watching the boarding clock on the monitors just outside.
You’ll find bottled drinks in the $3–$5 range, standard airport snacks, and a mix of packaged sandwiches and salads that work for a 90‑minute hop to ATL or a longer flight to LAX. Coffee and cold brew here usually price under $6, cheaper than sitting down at a full-service spot in Terminal 2, and the self-checkout kiosks keep things moving even during the 7–9 a.m. rush.
Root and Branch Market also stocks basic travel gear: neck pillows, earplugs, phone chargers, and charging cables that actually match newer iPhones and USB‑C laptops, useful if your gate in Terminal 2 lacks enough outlets. Expect typical airport markups, with accessories in the $15–$35 range, similar to other news-and-gift stands in the terminal.
If your flight from Terminal 2 starts boarding in 30 minutes or less, this is a reasonable stop for a drink and a snack without wandering far. Pick up what you need in one pass, then double-check the overhead screens by the entrance for any last-minute gate changes before you walk off with your receipt in hand.
