€3 espresso and basic pastries inside T1 security
Refill Coffee & Bakery sits airside in Terminal T1, after security, right on the short concourse for all departures out of Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos. It’s a local-style café and bakery kiosk, not a sit-down restaurant, with prices in the low €2–€6 range, so it fits the airport’s budget crowd more than a lounge replacement.
The menu stays simple: espresso, cappuccino, and Greek coffee around €2–€3, plus croissants, cheese pies, and sweet pastries usually between €2 and €4. With a Google-style rating hovering around 4 out of 5, it lands in the “good enough before a charter flight” category rather than destination dining. Expect counter service only and a quick grab-and-go flow that works with ZTH’s tight departure hall.
There’s no published opening time, but flights at ZTH start early, and Refill typically tracks the first wave of departures out of T1. That means it often opens in the early morning window when UK and European holiday services start boarding and stays open through the final evening departures. Stools are limited, so plan to carry your coffee back toward the gate seating rows.
Food options stay cold: packaged sandwiches, simple pastries, and bottled drinks in the €2–€6 bracket. You won’t find hot meals, plant-based specialty items, or bar service here; think more “quick caffeine before your Ryanair or charter boarding” than “long layover meal.” For heavier food, you’re usually pushed back toward the small pre-security offerings outside passport control.
Without much chatter from frequent flyers, Refill Coffee & Bakery ends up as the default stop when you clear security a bit too early and just want something better than airline instant coffee. One practical move: buy water and snacks here before you head to the gate, since there are no extra shops or cafés down by the actual boarding doors in T1.
