Moka Coffee
Right after security in T1, Moka Coffee is one of the first spots you see for a quick caffeine fix before gates A1–A10. It’s a simple café setup with counter service and a small seating area, so you can keep an eye on the departure screens while you drink.
They pour standard espresso drinks plus drip coffee, with prices in the €2–€4 range for most coffees and about €3–€6 for sandwiches and pastries. If you’re on a 30–40 minute connection and don’t want to stray far from your gate, this is an easy stop.
The food lineup runs to basic airport café fare: croissants, muffins, simple sandwiches, and a few sweets. Expect pre-made items kept in a display case, closer to grab-and-go than café-bistro. It works for a light breakfast before a 06:00–09:00 departure or a snack with a late-evening flight.
Service is counter-only and usually moves quickly outside the early-morning bank of Ryanair and Wizz Air departures from T1. If you’re catching one of those 06:00–07:00 flights, add 10 extra minutes to your coffee stop in case there’s a short queue.
Moka Coffee sits fully airside, so you need a boarding pass and cleared security to use it; if you’re meeting someone landside at VNO, this is not an option. Power outlets can be scarce at nearby tables, so charge your phone at the main seating area closer to your gate instead of counting on a plug here.
Tip: If your gate is at the far end of T1 (A9–A10), grab your drink to go at Moka Coffee and walk down; you’ll usually find more open seats there than at the café’s own tables.
