Gate B3 is closest to Einstein Bros Bagels at XNA.
This is the only bagel-focused spot in the Main terminal, sitting airside after security near the B-gate cluster. It runs typical early-morning hours to catch the first bank of flights, then tapers off in the afternoon once the morning rush dies down, so don’t count on it for late-night departures.
Menu is the standard Einstein Bros lineup: egg-and-cheese bagel sandwiches, plain and flavored bagels, cream cheeses, drip coffee, and espresso drinks. Expect airport pricing, with bagel sandwiches hovering in the $7–$10 range and coffee around $3–$5 depending on size and whether you go latte or basic brew.
Food quality tracks with the national chain playbook: reliable, not special. If you care about staying full through a 2–3 hour hop to DEN, ORD, or CLT, the bacon egg & cheese on an everything bagel is the safest bet. Coffee is serviceable and quicker than waiting for a sit-down spot in the pre-security lobby.
Seating is limited to nearby gate chairs around B3 and B5, so plan to carry your order back to your boarding area. Lines build fast before the 6:00–8:00 a.m. departures, and the crew can move slowly when working both grill and coffee bar. Tip: mobile-order through the Einstein Bros app if it’s supported at this location, then walk straight to the pickup counter instead of joining the queue.
