Kiosk 16

5 a.m. to 8 p.m., this is RTM’s landside safety net

Kiosk 16 sits in the T1 central hall before security, and it’s the main spot for a quick drink or snack if you’re still landside. It opens at 5 a.m., so you can grab coffee on the way to check-in, and it stays open until 8 p.m. for late pickups or evening flights.

This is a basic HMSHost-run café with a price tier of $, so think budget filter coffee instead of specialty espresso. Expect hot and cold drinks, simple sandwiches, pre-packed salads, and standard snacks. It’s not trying to be a full restaurant; it’s the place you hit when you just want something in your hand in under 2 minutes.

The airport lists the offer as hot and cold drinks plus snacks, sandwiches, and salads, all sold grab-and-go. With a rating around 1.3 out of 5, expectations should be low: you’re paying for speed and location, not gourmet quality. If you care about food more than time, you’ll eat after security instead.

Regulars use Kiosk 16 as a pre-security backup when airside cafés in T1 get crowded or open closer to peak flight times. It also works for friends and family waiting in the central hall to pick someone up who might want a bottle of water or a sandwich the second they walk out.

What to get: packaged drinks, bottles of water, and sealed snacks are the safest bets. Sandwiches and salads are fine if you just need something basic and cheap before an early-morning hop. Don’t expect barista-style coffee or anything cooked to order.

Practical tip: if your check-in is at 5:30–6:00 a.m., grab your coffee and snack at Kiosk 16 first; once you pass security in T1, you’re stuck with airside queues and flight-timed openings.
