Finding it

Hours against the security queue

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf – Terminal 7 opens at 4am and closes at 10pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical LAX checkpoint queue at 9 minutes around 4am.

About this location

This is the pre-security counter in Terminal 7, tucked in among Ashland Hill, B Grill by Boa Steakhouse and BLD before the checkpoint rather than past it. Its 4am-to-10pm run is longer than the Coffee Bean counters in Terminals 1 and 8, which both shut at 8pm. Being on the landside side of security means it's an option for someone dropping off a passenger or waiting on an arrival, not just travelers already through the gate.

Other options in Terminal 7

All landside, so you can reach any of these before security.
