Fed & Watered in East Devon

Sunday morning 9th January and we were awaiting the departure of our flight to Lanzarote from Exeter Airport. This cafe is located on the ground floor of the departure lounge and was the only catering facility open at the Airport. We ordered and paid for two Flat whites which were £2.70 each. Considering they were dispensed from a machine it took a long time to get our coffees. A bit disappointing that they were served in paper cups There was limited food here, which included croissants, pain and chocolat, crips and a bit more. No alcohol was on sale here.

Tuesday 18th August awaiting the departure of our Tui flight to Crete from Exeter Airport. There are 2 parts to this facility in the Departure Lounge. The first being a cafeteria selling snacks and drinks (no alcohol). For safety reasons part of the seating area was closed off, so limited space. It was here we purchased a packet of crisps, £1.40 and 2 bottles of diet coke £4.90, rather expensive, closer to rip off The second part is a bar near the Duty Free Shop, in another lounge. There was a notice on the bar stating that it was closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Maybe it as result of COVID 19 restrictions, it was unclear. Also no indication when the facility would reopen. Appreciate things are difficult at the moment and working practices are different, for safety reason, but this was not good. A number of people, had the right idea, they brought their food with them and ate it in the lounge.

para un cambio, un café limpio del aeropuerto, aunque se llama a sí mismo un restaurante sin servicio de mesa, espere en la larga cola para comida cara aunque caliente

Nada especial, pero puede obtener un tocino microondas horneado y un café o una selección de cervezas y vinos.

Me encanta este café (recomiendo sentarse arriba, más tranquilo). Siempre un buen servicio, y aunque olvidé el recibo 15 minutos después, el equipo pudimos imprimir. Gachas consistentemente deliciosas (a un precio razonable para un aeropuerto) con bayas (gracias Chef) y un buen café. Gracias por nutritivo y amigable comienzo de mi día.

Was ridiculously expensive and not that good. Service was poor and rude. Only option in airport so get away with it.

Visited on way to catch a plane. Of course. Had the burger with chunky fries and coleslaw (£10) and the roasted veg pizza (£9). Our two teenager boys shared the burger. Looked like a proper butchers burger to me. Pizza had a bit of green salad with dressing too. Both dishes were really good and not over priced even for an airport. We were planning to stop at Exeter Services instead but glad we didn't. I'd certainly use it again.

Fed and watered is located between security and duty free within Exeter airport. It is a more relaxed place to wait for boarding than the main departure lounge spread as it is over two floors offering a variety of generally quiet seating options. Whilst the food looked perfectly acceptable we decided to just enjoy a tea and beer. Unfortunately as suggested by others service which was essentially counter order was very definitely not as good as it could have been.....

Acceptable food and not badly priced but wow!...the service. Extremely slow which would have been forgiven if it had been with a smile. Fat chance. Don't often review for TripAdvisor but felt compelled on this occasion. Truly bad representation for the company.

Very overpriced for what it is but was nice to sit, eat and talk for a bit. Defiently need to review their prices.

I came on here to check out the breakfast menu before my trip on Saturday, and was almost put off by the bad reviews. I decided this was probably a case of people on trip adviser having no perspective, and I was right. I had a delicious brunch, fast service and really helpful staff. Yes it wasnt a fancy restaurant, but it was an airport and I was completely satisfied. Its £9/10 for breakfast or brunch with a cup of tea. Really not a bad deal at all. People need to chill a bit and be grateful for the facilities!

Well done fed and watered you have just received your 19th terrible review surely this tells you something is not quite right! There was total confusion about the service, the food was less than average and the philosophy of this establishment seems to be take the money and sod the rest. Firstly I had no idea that you had to come and get your food from the counter like some sort of glorified school canteen, the food came along and was plonked down with no mention of where the condiments were and not even "enjoy your meal" I ended up paying nearly ten pound for a slice of bacon,a tomato, hashbrown and egg, the sausage was about room temperature, and the beans disgusting! when I complained the girl walked away while I was still talking, then she returned with a sorry. A used teapot and cup was on my table for the duration of my stay, and I sat with my half eaten meal in front of me for about half an hour! No one seems to care I would recommend you send all of your staff to a customer service course, three people standing behind the counter and dirty tables equals bad business. Not happy at all worst dining experience in many many years and I eat out a lot

So our flight is delayed by flymaybe. My partner went to buy a Cappuccino for us both. She was served by the Po faced barman. Hardly any eye contact and no niceties despite my girlfriend making an effort as she always would. He had an unfriendly abrupt manner when serving. "chocolate" he said staring at the till in front of him. Asking if we wanted chocolate sprinkled on top. When she asked if she could have a spoon he replied "only stirrers". To top it off ,the coffee was way too hot anyway. It wasn't the coffee shops fault that the plane was delayed but a little courtesy and kindness from the consession holder would have made all the difference. If they are happy to take travellers money they could use it to teach basic manners to their staff. Come on . Have a word with your staff please .

Ordered an Open Chicken sandwich for dinner during a period that wasn’t particularly busy (chef spent more time looking at the departures screen than in the kitchen- guess he had plans for the evening...) Dressing on lettuce leaves was bitter and lacked depth. ‘toasted’ sour dough bread was warmed on one side and untouched on the other Coleslaw tasted like it was out of a tub and sliced through a machine and not with a skilled chefs hand. Then it leads me to the point that disgusted me the most. The chicken. It was deep fried and so over cooked that the airport cutlery couldn’t cut through it. It’s texture was drier than beef jerky and had no flavour at all. Caramelised onion was okay taste wise, but burnt the inside of my mouth, whilst other parts were cold, suggesting it had been zapped in the microwave for way too long ... I’d never order this again.

Great flat white in the lounge this morning. It even had latte art on it - didn't expext that here. Well done Will!

I’ve always thought airports have a lot to live up to, excited people ready to go away to a new place, a good meal before you leave?

Very quick and friendly service (we were served by Amy 😊). Food was good and arrived quickly, nice bar area for a relaxing drink before our flight!

Al leer algunas de las críticas me habría pospuesto el uso del restaurante, sin embargo, cuando llegamos allí era bastante tranquilo, hay una selección de panini que se calientan, cerdo asado caliente con los aderezos y empanadas. Tomamos un asado de cerdo, panini de atún y queso derretido, un capuchino y agua que llegó a los 17. 00 que pensé que era un poco caro, pero luego estás en un aeropuerto.

Good food and service. Friendly staff who were willing to help. The place was clean (as was the cutlery) and it had lots of places to charge my phone so I could read.

Se detuvo durante quince minutos esperando ser atendido.

Llegamos temprano para nuestro vuelo y, luego de pasar por seguridad, queríamos un almuerzo y una bebida. Había muchas opciones en el menú, así que miramos alrededor para decidir dónde comer realmente nuestra comida y decidimos, como hacía calor y sol, comer en la terraza al aire libre y ver los aviones despegar y aterrizar. Pedimos nuestras comidas, pasteles de pescado de salmón y un bistec Panini con salsa de cebolla, ensalada y papas fritas, y nos dieron un disco electrónico que te avisa cuando la comida está lista para recoger. La comida era muy buena y, teniendo en cuenta que es un café del aeropuerto, no es demasiado caro. ¡Los pubs locales NO serían más baratos!

Mi vuelo se retrasó por 2 horas, así que estuve en el aeropuerto alrededor de 4 horas y media, hambriento, la comida se veía bien, pizza, horneada, 8 libras, le doy una oportunidad, 15 minutos después, llegó, cargada con queso, grasiento, tuve una rebanada y mis manos cubiertas, la rodaja también se vino abajo después de un bocado ya que la base era blanda por el peso del queso, probablemente la peor pizza que he probado en mi vida. Horrible.

Exeter airport is quite small, but this outlet is good for refreshments before the flight. We had 2 lattes costing £2.65 each, and comfortable seats around a coffee table. The outlet is close to the boarding area, which is about two minutes walk away.

I always like to fly from Exeter Airport, although it costs me extra, due to the exceptional service and quality of food provided by Fed & Watered staff. The General manager clearly runs the lounge service like a tight ship. And that professionalism shows through the staff.

When flying from Exeter in the morning, always allow time for breakfast as I rate their porridge the best.

Best airport eaterie I have been to. Can recommend the breakfast roll. Well cooked and quite quick! Have a really jazzy system for cooked food , you get given an alarm which lights up when your food is ready to collect.

Sadly the quality of the food seems to have gone belly up. We had a 'full English' breakfast!!

Amazing will visit again for sure! When for a family meal, and the staff was so welcoming and polite could top it

Having ordered fish and chips I was not expecting too much to have some fish inside what looked like copious amounts of beer batter. On further investigation it appeared that the beer batter was hiding what can only be described as a minnow of a fish .

We had a light bite while awaiting our flight here. Prices reasonable as airport prices go. The sausage rolls were tasty and warm. Service was fast and friendly (perhaps too much)! But no complaints.

We stopped for a drink and a bite to eat before our flight, and were pleasantly surprised by the gin selection the restaurant had to offer. The staff behind the counter knew their stuff too, and were quick make recommendations. We went for the Salcombe gin with grapefruit tonic (was excellent), ordered our food and were given a square device that sounds to tell you that your food is ready for collection. We never found out what it sounds like as the food was brought to our table. The area was nice and tidy, tables were cleared quickly. We were asked if all was ok. Which it was.

Just had a super tasty brunch at the airport cafe. Good quality bacon and sausages, lovely thick chips along with baked beans and fried egg all for less than £10 with coffee too!! Hubby had a cheese and ham sandwich which apparently was very nice. Will always eat at this airport in future

We arrived for a 0610 flight and ordered 4 breakfasts. 20 minutes later there was no sign of them and the cafe was emptying of people for flights. Sought refund and got push back but insisted. Was charged for the hot drinks (x2) rather than full refund. Ironically, boarding time on boarding cards was not observed so we then waited further 15 mins past stated last boarding time. Fairly unsatisfactory overall Exeter Airport!

My flight was delayed by two hours and so I returned to ‘Fed & Watered’ for a bite to eat. Ordered my meal and then when I thought I’d been called to collect it the guys apologised and told me they didn’t have what I’d ordered. With no hesitation they offered me a replacement meal, which was more expensive, at no extra charge. Well done Lewis and Will for making my flight delay a little less painful...!

Quick and friendly service despite the early hour. Our coffees were wonderful, breakfasts arrived quickly, everything tasted good and freshly cooked. The manager was kind enough to accommodate all our requests even though they were very busy. Much better than one would expect at an airport.

They have a certain amount of competition in that there is a cafe called We Make in arrivals and a bar serving food in departures but effectively this is it if you want “restaurant” food at Exeter airport. It’s far better than some years ago before their refurb, but it’s expensive for what’s offered

We had an amazing service from a young lad ( sorry I can’t remember his name ) and we praised him to his manager Jo who was also lovely she took the time to speak to us for a long time and made us feel very special.

Very very good fry, lower oil and grease than mkst but still full of flavour

How nice to find reasonably priced food and drinks at an airport. Makes waiting much more bearable. Wendy made as a very good coffee and hot chocolate and if we'd needed it the food looked pretty good, too.

Nice and clean. Food ok little expensive but your expect that in an airport. Staff were nice. Would probably eat there again

Burger was fantastic and the best coffee I've had in a long time cost is very reasonable for an airport 5/5

Wouldn't want to spend too long here, but then, you don't have to. Good coffee and snacks but not big enough.

we had 2 large hot chocolates 6 pounds 40 not to bad staff not very friendly seemed as if you...

We had a breakfast roll and it was lovely. Egg was cooked fresh and runny. Food was hot and came with a lovely cup of tea. Couldn’t ask for anything better from an airport cafe!

First up & deserving of more than the two stars I given- the staff serving were really lovely. They were friendly & knowledgable when I quizzed them about getting a hot meal in time for my flight to France (little did I know I’d actually be delayed for 5 hours!) however I’m afraid that’s where the good part of the experience ended. Fed & Watered is snazzy modern-branded set up & seems like a risk worth taking when you’re hungry at the airport but goodness me did it under deliver on the food. Each item on the menu is cleverly written & so it actually took me a while to choose between the fresh sounding choices. I remember thinking how refreshing it was to see some interesting options on offer despite the usual ‘captive market’ atmosphere you get from such a food place in an airport or service station type set up. I knew I’d be paying over the odds but my final meal price was inexcusably steep for the reheated bricks it was. I think I was in shock as I paid like a zombie- before it arrived of course, assuming it was going to be tasty at the very least. I had two deep tan boulders of overcooked, dry with no particular flavour fishcakes, extremely oily chips with a side of limp again dry salad sliding around beside it. I could barely crack the fish cakes open they had been fried so hard & I left an almost untouched plate when I got up to leave- something I never do as I hate waste. By the time my meal had arrived I’d had the chance to sneak a look at around a dozen other meals around me- all of equal hurried, mediocre quality although granted I didn’t taste anything but my own. I felt genuinely ripped off. Had! What a shame! What missed potential! Fed & Watered bosses think Gloucester Services- it should be exciting that you have the power to please, even surprise your customers with some quality food! In the heart of Devon. Great food suppliers everywhere! For the sake of your brilliant staff and to be in with a chance of repeat custom- please up your food game.

I stortsätt bara skräpmat jättedyrt inte speciellt trevlig atmosfär men ett måste om man vill ha någonting i magen innan flighten

On our way out to Tenerife last Friday (3rd Nov.), my wife and I bought drinks here, but what I was going to pay was a complete mystery.

I think the title of the review says it all, please make porridge with proper milk and not water especially when you are charging more than £3 for it. Rubbish.

All the food that was coming out looked fantastic, and our burgers didn't disappoint.... Fresh, homemade gorgeousness... Wow!

First time flying from Exeter, very swift, efficient airport the only slight disappointment would be "Fed & Watered" service was rather slow as being run singled handed (On counter) for well over an hour. Choices of products was very good but the prices are extortiant. If I recall correctly £5.25 for a pasty, in region of £12 for a pint and a glass of wine. We did not eat so cannot comment on food standards. Well presented, friendly staff.... the prices are the let down.

It's 4 in the morning waiting for a plane, just had a breakfast bap between us with a coffee & tea. Lovely with very happy smiling service from the Birthday Girl who served us.

I wouldn't usually leave a review of airport cafes. However, I had an Americano with an extra shot in Fed & Watered at Exeter airport yesterday and it was excellent.It should be a simple thing for anyone to get right but few do. They did and merit the review on that alone.

Pre flight breakfast. The bap was pretty good and the pancakes epic. Nice coffee and friendly service.

I had the most disgusting, fat riddled sausage roll I have ever experienced in my life !! Could hardly touch it and spent and fortune on it. The service is awful and unhelpful and really no one seems concerned by the lack of standards as they know they have a captive audience. So expensive and so so bad !!

The prices are far too high (but then again its a captive market). The mac n cheese is worth avoiding. Microwave packet rubbish. Bland, cheeseless with the consistency of frogspawn (I'd guess). Portion was tiny. Ran out of glasses too at one stage and it wasn't busy

Bought a breakfast bap for £6.75 after seeing the poster which clearly showed 2 sausages sliced in half. I only received one sausage. Complained to the assistant who said 'that's the way it is' and refused to do anything about it. Total con. Would never buy anything here again.

Carrot soup was completely tasteless. Waiter came to pick my full plate of soup, I had to explain how bad it was. Waiter said he will tell the chef.He did not return.Will not eat there again! Maybe Bugs Bunny would like to taste the carrot soup!

I had a friendly fast service from Joanna and Carly and a great full English breakfast well presented. And also i over heard a couple talking about their wonderful flat white and the incredible pattern achieved.

Great breakfast, hot and tasty. Happy staff given the time of day (very early!!) clean and tidy with a great selection of cakes.

Lovely manager, great salmon cakes! Great salmon cakes! I was delayed on a flight and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

I braced myself as I approached the counter for the price of a Full English Breakfast, as my bottle of water was £1.75. The FEB was £8.25 which isn't cheap but I didn't expect it to be. It was actually very nice, everything tasted good and it wasn't swimming in oil. It would've been nicer if it included toast, but this was an extra I declined. The service was good, it didn't take too long and the staff were polite and efficient. Would I eat here again? Well there's no alternative at Exeter Airport, so yes!

I only wanted a mocha coffee, just one drink before my flight. Surely not that difficult? The assistant was surly and clearly didn't enjoy his job - something away from the public might suit him better. The mocha - usually a mix of coffee and chocolate, so it has to be stirred before serving. I assumed this had been done but no, it was coffee on top, chocolate near the end of the mug. Surely not that difficult? Unfortunately, this place has a captive market, as people wait for flights. But so disappointing.

My boyfriend and I were due to depart Exeter to Edinburgh at 12.35. Unfortunately, due to techical difficulties our flight was delayed on 4 separate occasions and, eventually, at 13.11 we were told by tannoy announcement that our flight would not be departing until after 14.00.  Upon hearing the announcement, we made our way to Fed & Watered, and ordered a soup of the day and fish and chips, which came to a total of £14.95. We paid this in cash. We were then given a "buzzer" and told that it would buzz once our food was ready. No sooner had we returned to our seats when another tannoy announcement at 13.20 stated, much to our surprise, that our flight to Edinburgh was boarding!We immediately advised staff of our situation and requested that our order be cancelled and our money refunded.  The staff were unhelpful and unsympathetic.  They showed little interest and advised us that our food had been cooked and thus they could box it up for us to take with us on our (crammed) flight. They categorically refused to refund us our money stated that as they are a third party service provider, they have no obligation to refund  money where flight changes are made by the airlines/airport even though our buzzer had not buzzed to advise us that our food was ready. Needless to say, trying to carry food onto a full flight with various other bags and luggage was not a practical or in any way appealing option. We thus again tried to plead our case and request a refund. This was unforthcoming. We thus had to rush off to board our flight without food and minus £14.95.Whilst I appreciate that airline delays and flight changes are not the responsibility of the staff, I find it extremely hard to believe that our food had been prepared within less than 7 minutes of ordering, especially as we had received no notification of this prior to advising staff of our situation. We fly to and from Exeter at least twice a month and have used the cafe on many occasions. However, such was the customer service we received today that neither of us shall be using the cafe in future.

We only went in for two drinks but as we queued others had many problems with their breakfasts.Our drinks took a little while to come but we got them in the end but the place could be better.

Uninterested staff on a go slow. Serious staff training required. Was here last night too ( flight cancelled). Same experience !

Tuesday 18th October and we were travelling to Dublin, from Exeter with Flybe, flight BE303 which was due to depart at 14.45. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed by 1 hour so we decided to have lunch in the restaurant part of Fed and Watered and not the bar.We found a clean table, a large number of tables need to be cleared and cleaned. We then ordered 2 steak sandwiches, £9.50 each, 1 latte £2.55 and a bottle of cola £2.05, the total cost of our meals came to £23.60. We asked for the coffee to be served with the food.We waited over 20 minutes for our food, a bit surprising as the restaurant was not that busy. When the food arrived it was strips of steak on a dry chiapetta bread with oily fried onions a bit of salad garnish and a pot of chips. The steak was fatty and gristley, there was some nice bits of meat but not a lot, the chips were nice, however overall it was very poor.As we were eating tables around us were being cleared of crockery and stuff and they were lucky to get a wipe down even though there was still food particles still there.There were 2 potted plants in the restaurant area, both were dead, nobody could be bothered to remove them, sums the place up.The bar area was no better, glasses on tables and on the floor waiting to be cleared in.A tip for travellers using Exeter Airport, bring your own sandwiches / snacks.

Besides being overpriced I then had the pleasure of first being informed that "we don't take American Express".Not "I am afraid" or "Sorry we don't".Next was "your card has been declined" again not "there seems to be a problem" or similar.So worry on my part, paid with a different card, phone call to card company. Transaction hadn't even come through! A fault with the card machine.The individual involved appeared to be management at some level so really should have known better.So all in all a very charming experience!!!

Great service by Corey he is thee best person I have ever come across in an airport, I though that I had walked into the VIP lounge. This guy has just the best personal service attributes, wonderful. Give him a promotion, he is super charming and attentive.

My wife had all day breakfast, hot; tasty, well presented, great sausages. I had pork & leek sausages, nice quality sausage, fresh mashed potatoes( still had a few lumps of potato), all in all not too shabby at all! Yum!!

Ever seen the film 'gone in 60 seconds' ? Well that's what will happen to your cash if you visit this place! We ordered an adult breakfast, child breakfast, bowl of cereal and two hot drinks - came to £25.00, add a small bottle of water for £1.75. Nice enough place but wow, at least dick Turpin wore a mask. Recommend you fill up at home before you venture here.

We visited earlier today. I asked what flavour quiche there was and was told butternut squash and mozzarella! Hmm I thought that sounds nice and unusual, I'll give that a whirl.Less than two minutes later out popped my quiche with salad and what was described as colourful coleslaw.The quiche was large and cold with not a hint of butternut squash and mozzarella but tomatoes and broccoli! Thick nasty crust and rubbery! The colourful coleslaw was actually chopped red cabbage with nothing else, not even a dressing!Simply unacceptable and a huge failure for what is a good compact airport!

No one in charge my toasted sandwich came 5 mins before my coffee. Orders getting mixed up. Please can someone improve this as I use it often!! There's no reason for this to be bad. Nobody cleaning tables neither!!

This review is for the cafe in the check in lounge area, one person serving the coffee and sandwiches when there is a massive line of people, to be honest the lad was doing his best,but there was a few things getting forgotten, not really his fault but the cafe chain need to have at least 2 staff on all the time, come up your game!

Decided to have a cuppa whilst waiting for my flight. Firstly pretty expensive!! Decent range of food and drink and well presented place.

Airport departure lounge cafe. Staff completely disinterested. Food could be OK, but very expensive even by airport standards. Soulless place. My foul mood after experiencing Little Hitler and his friends at Exeter Airport security not alleviated by rip off pricing for sandwich and coffee.

£4.20 a pint. £3.20 a small glass of wine. £2.45 for a kids oasis drink. Service was shocking. I wanted a dash of lemonade in my small wine, £1.60 then ignorant man behind the till tells me - the receipt says hes Matthew M, he wanted to charge me £1.60 - I explained I only literally waved a dash but he said no! He wouldn't give me a dash or charge me less. He wasn't polite about it either. Beware east before you come to Exeter airport .....

Nice ambience pre-flightFood nice quality and not over pricedMuch nicer than eating in the departure lounge

Me and my family had 3 burgers and chips just after the first bit it tasted very strong of pork we did send them back and got a refund but the next day my wife spent the first 2 days of are holiday in bed. We notice that other left there burgers to must of been at least 8 other unfinished plates. We got some information when we got back about the hygiene in the kitchen they we having a shake up in there and a one of the chefs has left but not the one whitch was cooking the food. I wounder if all the chefs have proper food hygiene skills and the rights skills City & Guilds? I bet not they don't even wear hats. Very poor Exeter airport sort out your food

After a previous bad experience at fed and watered Exeter airport, (soggy microwaved pizza), I mistakenly gave them another shot.Being breakfast I thought, "what can go wrong", I opted for the very expensive full breakfast, and my partner had salmon and scrambled eggs.All the items on my breakfast plate were semi warm with the exception of the fried eggs. I have a sneaky suspicion The sausage, bacon and baked beans are either pre cooked then reheated to order or are hot held for far to long at a low temperature, something here is not right.My partners salmon was tiny and the scrambled egg over cooked, I have no problem with microwaved scrambled eggs but the cooking time is really important.Food aside, the staff and service are incredulous , I've never met a more unithusiastic , uninspired bunch of folk. No welcome, no smiles, no eye contact. Ultimately I felt robbed, let down and speechless, I really couldn't wait to leave.I am a massive fan of all that the west country has to offer, come on guys surely we can offer more than this.

This is better than its equivalent at the much bigger Bristol airport although the lighting is initially a bit dim after the brightly lit security area! Yes its a tiny airport but these guys are trying very hard and actually tick all of the boxes so well done! I will be back that's for sure

OK so this is an airport departure lounge restaurant. It offers a reasonable selection of food and drinks and prices not as exorbitant as they could be. I had a breakfast bap where bacon was undercooked and sausage had very unusual flavour. Good to grab a drink or sandwich to take on flight, also good for coffee and tea. Upstairs has access to viewing lounge so some outside space.

Hungry at Exeter International Airport. Just wanted fish + chips. Came within 10 minutesPiping hot, large portion, loads of mushy peas and a healthy portion of fresh side salad.Very pleasant interior, must be new. I'd eat here again. Left happy.

I briefly visited Fed & Watered whilst waiting for a flight.It looks very nice indeed, much better than your average airport cafe/restaurant does anyway.However, I tasted perhaps the worst Americano coffee I've ever had the displeasure of being served. I also sat for 15-20 minutes at what wasn't a particularly busy time and watched tables left uncleaned and cluttered with left overs from other visitors.It's not that I expect high standards at airports, in fact I've seen much much worse. But either the beans used in my coffee were off or they were utter garbage, and the least they could do is tidy the tables up so patrons don't have to look at half finished meals for the duration of their stay.
