Gate-side coffee near Terminal A security
1 Minute sits landside in Terminal A at Warsaw Chopin, right by the main security queues, so it works as a last grab before you head airside. It’s a small counter-service spot focused on coffee, cold drinks, pastries, and basic snacks rather than full meals. Prices run a bit higher than in the city, but still standard for WAW: expect around 15–20 PLN for a coffee and 10–18 PLN for a pastry or sandwich.
The food setup leans on pre-made items in a chilled case, so you’re in and out in under 2–3 minutes if there’s no line. You’ll usually find croissants, simple sandwiches, and packaged sweets that travel well. Coffee is machine-based rather than barista-style; think quick espresso, cappuccino, and americanos, not specialty brews. It’s open from early morning through the evening bank of departures, roughly aligning with the first LOT flights out of Terminal A.
Seating is minimal around 1 Minute, so plan on taking your items to the general Terminal A seating areas near check-in rows or straight through security to your gate. This isn’t a spot for a long sit-down meal; it’s a time saver when you’ve got 10–15 minutes before heading upstairs to security. Tip: buy water or snacks here if you prefer to avoid higher airside prices near the A gates.
