Near Gate 2 in Terminal 2, Akron is your coffee stop
Akron sits airside in Terminal 2, close to the early Schengen gates, so it works for a quick grab before boarding. It’s a compact café-bar setup: counter service, a glass case of pastries, and a few small tables that fill up fast during the morning bank of flights. You’re looking at roughly €3 for an espresso, around €3.50–€4 for cappuccino or latte, and similar pricing to other SKG cafés, not a bargain but not gouging either.
Food runs basic but useful: croissants, simple sandwiches, and packaged snacks that travel well to the gate. Expect ham-and-cheese style sandwiches in the €4–€6 range and standard airport muffins and cookies around €2–€3. Portion sizes skew light, so this is a tide-you-over stop, not a full meal before a 3-hour leg. The staff move quickly when a flight is boarding, but queues still build during the 06:00–09:00 rush.
Akron opens in time for the early departures out of Terminal 2, typically by around 05:00, and stays open into the late evening wave of flights after 21:00. Card payments are accepted, including contactless, and prices are clearly listed at the counter. Beer and basic spirits are usually available if you want something stronger than coffee, with bottled beer hovering around €5–€6.
Practical play: order coffee and a sandwich at Akron, then carry it to your actual gate rather than hunting for a seat here, especially if you’re flying out of a bus gate at the far end of Terminal 2.
