About this location
Terminal 1's Departures location opens at 4am, ahead of the terminal's earliest flights, but closes at 8pm, several hours before the sit-down restaurants near it like California Pizza Kitchen. It sits alongside Ace Cerveceria & Tacos and Betcha Burgers & Bar, both of which run later into the evening. Some of the airport's other Coffee Bean counters stay open past 8pm, so a traveler used to a later close elsewhere should plan around Terminal 1's shorter day.
