T1’s 7-Eleven sits landside near check-in counters
This 7-Eleven in Terminal T1 is on the public side, so you can stock up before security if you’re meeting someone or heading to another terminal. Expect the usual Taiwan mix: onigiri around NT$35–40, tea eggs by the cashier, and a fridge row of bottled drinks for under NT$40. It feels more like a city branch than an airport kiosk, which helps on pricing.
Hours typically run early morning to late night (roughly 06:00–23:00), so it covers most EVA Air and China Airlines bank departures out of T1. You’ll find instant noodles, reheatable bentos, and microwave siu mai that staff are used to heating for travelers. For coffee, the City Café counter pours espresso-based drinks a bit cheaper than most airside cafés, with hot lattes often under NT$60.
Payment is easy: they take cash, major cards, and EasyCard/iPASS, which is useful if you’re coming straight from Taipei Main Station on the Airport MRT. Prices track normal Taiwan 7-Eleven levels, not marked-up airport rates, so snacks, bottled water, and basic toiletries stay under NT$100 in most cases. It’s a solid backup if you forgot a phone cable, simple medicines, or travel-size toothpaste before checking in.
Practical tip: if you have a tight departure out of T1, grab drinks and snacks here before security; airside options near some older gates thin out late at night, while this branch usually keeps shelves stocked until closing.
