About this location
Near Gate M8, this coffee counter never closes — the only 24-hour stop in this batch west of Chick-Fil-A at M10. There's no alcohol and no kitchen line, just coffee and pastries for whoever is moving through M8 at 4am, hours before Burger King and Tocco open down at M11. It sits alone at its gate, with none of the other Concourse M restaurants in this group sharing M8, so it isn't competing with a neighbor for the same foot traffic.
Other options in Terminal 5
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
