I have ordered mocha smoothie, trust me it’s just ice crushed in a cup. Not recommended

*URGENT WARNING* They serve spoiled pastry.
Apple danish had MOLD. Which means they do not refresh pastries at all if ever. Maybe when inventory out. Disgusting 🤢🤢🤮

The highest prices at Midway for coffee , too much ice in drinks, must be like $7 for a lg ice coffee... just go to dunkin' for $4. They keep raising prices and lowering quality...

$6 for a medium ice coffee is crazy...employees have good service. Price is bs.

Ordered the bagel & cream cheese with tomato’s, onions, and cucumber. There were huge slices of tomato and cucumber on the bagel. How do you even eat that? You’re supposed to dice the cucumbers and tomato’s before putting on the sandwich. Really wanted to like the place more because the branding is so cute.

Update: I told the staff about the awful bagel. They explained it that’s how it’s prepared, but helped me out and gave me something else. The Croissant with ham, egg annd cheese on sourdough (instead of croissant) is soooo much better. Totally night and day! Bumping my review from 2 star to 4 stars because of this breakfast sandwich. Appreciate the staff’s effort to make it right. Hope management can improve the bagel for the future.

The tea was so hot that when someone pumped me it burnt my hand, when I walked back up to the counter and ask for ice, another patron was there complaining about the same thing… when I said I burnt my hand the kid behind the counter said you’re hand is fine. Great place

Great espresso based drink (small Americano) not easy to do well.
Great sandwich (the Turkey Club you can just grab from the chiller).

Usually, airport food kiosks give customers very low quality for a very high price. THIS PLACE gave me food that was very VERY good
quality for a very high price.

For my experience: Great service. Great food.

No seating at the kiosk, but nearby seating was not a problem.

Wheelchair accessibility: No barriers to entry.

Nice little spot to get a coffee before exiting the airport. Employees are nice, the coffee is easy to drink, and the pastries are delicious. Definitely recommend.

Thanks Aaron and Xavier for your great customer service this morning. The Mexican mocha and hot chocolate hit the spot. Xavier, I’ll get the avocado toast next time so I can test your culinary skills ?. Best wishes to you both and Happy Holidays!!

Do NOT eat here. Can't speak for the drinks. That was my second and last time. First sandwich - just ok. Second sandwich - awful sandwich on stale bread. Furthermore, I watched and saw the guy wrapping the sandwich without lettuce on it. Apparently they were out of lettuce, but they didn't even care enough to TELL me they were out of lettuce. Whether you are coming, going or waiting to pick someone up... Just wait and get something much better, or at the very least - something edible.

They were super nice and I didn’t know what to get, he picked one based on my likes and it was really really good
