£6–£8 smoothies and flat whites fuel most orders here
Joe & The Juice at London Stansted Airport sits airside after security, and the board usually shows smoothies around £6–£8 and coffee drinks in the £3–£4 range. You order at the counter, grab a buzzer, and they call your drink by name, which moves faster than most sit-down spots near the main departures seating.
The menu leans heavy on juices like “Joe’s AMG” and “Go Away Doc,” plus protein-focused shakes that run closer to £7–£8. Espresso-based drinks include straight espresso, cappuccino, latte, and flat white, typically served in takeaway cups sized small or large. If you want something light with caffeine before a Ryanair hop, a small black coffee comes in under £3.50.
Food is mainly pressed sandwiches and wraps held in a chilled case, with prices generally in the £5–£7 band. Options often include turkey-style, tuna-style, and veggie combinations with pesto or spicy dressings. Portions skew modest; one sandwich is a snack, two become a real meal that can easily hit £12–£14 before you add a drink. Nothing here works for a long sit-down lunch, but it fills a gap when your gate call is in 25 minutes.
Seating is limited and close-packed near the main walkways through departures, so expect noise at peak morning banks around 05:30–08:30 and again in the evening push after 18:00. Power outlets nearby tend to be shared benches rather than dedicated table plugs, so charge your phone near the main Stansted charging stations instead of relying on a spot here. Card payments dominate; tap-to-pay with contactless or phone wallet clears fastest when a queue builds.
Tip: if your gate number at Stansted starts with a “4” or “9,” grab your drink to go and start walking; those piers can take 10–15 minutes from the main Joe & The Juice area.
