Gate-side sugar fix in Terminal 1
This Baskin-Robbins Dunkin' Donuts sits in Terminal 1, so it's useful if you're flying American, Delta, or United out of STL. It's post-security, which matters if you want coffee in hand before TSA. Expect basic airport pricing: drip coffee and small iced drinks usually land in the $3–$5 range, while a single ice cream scoop or donut runs about $2–$4.
Dunkin’ handles the caffeine side: hot and iced coffee, espresso drinks, and the usual flavor shots. A medium hot or iced coffee is typically the best value compared to the specialty lattes and frozen drinks. For something more filling, you’ll see breakfast sandwiches and bagels alongside classic donuts and Munchkins. It’s grab-and-go friendly if your boarding time is under 30 minutes.
Baskin-Robbins covers the ice cream case with roughly a dozen rotating flavors, plus sundaes and shakes. A single scoop in a cup or cone comes in around $3–$4, and you can upgrade to a sundae for a couple of dollars more. This is one of the few spots in Terminal 1 where you can get an actual ice cream cone instead of pre-packed bars from a kiosk cooler.
Lines spike around early-morning bank departures from gates in Terminal 1 and again around the 3 p.m.–6 p.m. push. With one shared counter for both brands, a short line of 6–8 people can still take 10 minutes. Mobile ordering is hit-or-miss by location, so don’t count on shaving time with the app at STL.
Practical tip: if you want both coffee and ice cream, order the Dunkin’ drink first and the Baskin-Robbins scoop last so it doesn’t melt while they pull the espresso shots.
