Sweet Auburn Market

This lady bartender, Raquel is the most unfriendly, rude, ghetto person ever. Omg… Have mercy on her soul. Y’all run. She’s probably pissed because she wonders why no one tips her. My last time here. Ever.

If you’re stuck at the international terminal pre-​security departures area; Sweet Auburn Market will Hit the spot for A quick late lunch until you are ready to go through security and onto Boarding. The place is fully staffed with friendly bartenders and they have a full bar menu with laptop/​phone charging jack plugins at every bar stool seat; now that’s convenience!
The soup bar had three options from which I picked the large bowl of turkey white bean ($ 5.99) which was amazing; other options that were equally tempting were the tomatoe bisque and Clam chowder.
A hummus plate that came with pita bread, mixed olives and fruit ($ 7.99) completed the snack stop until I got ready to go through security and onto the flight. I will definitely return, time to go!

A couple of the pastries looked so tempting the first time I checked out the new Sweet Auburn Market at the new international terminal that I made it a point to try some when I went there for a couple of recent morning flights to Canada. My flights were a bit early, so I was there before 7:00 a.m., and I’m thinking I got yesterday’s goods, not the same day’s. Once it was the cinnamon roll and the other time it was a pecan sticky bun. And of course airport food prices are outrageous in general, and $ 8 for a coffee and a pastry just doesn’t seem like a good value to me.

I’ve been flying international a lot lately (and having a ton of family overseas coming into town lately), that I’ve been here several times now. Once, to have a drink at the bar with a friend who came to see me leave. Bartender was great! Very friendly. Drink was good. Strong. They didn’t skimp on the alcohol, that’s for sure =)
The next time, I bought a «dirty chai» latte and an apple crumb muffin. They warmed it up for me. Latte was pretty good. Called «dirty» because it has a shot of espresso in it. Never had one of those before. Would get it again. The muffin was DELICIOUS. Wolfed that down in about a minute. The perfect snack before a 15 hour flight.
The next time I went, I had a favor to ask, and that was to break a $ 100 for me. The lady there ran around to all 4 (or was it 5?) cash registers in the place to make sure I got what I wanted. Super nice. I was very thankful. And impressed.
Great addition to the terminal and hope they are always there to be my last pit stop before leaving the country!
