About this location
Aunt Butchie's Bakery Café opens at 3:00 AM near Gate 512 on Terminal 5's level 3 and stays open until the last flight leaves, covering the earliest departure bank as well as the latest one. Its kosher, vegan and gluten-free grab-and-go cases give it a wider dietary range than Blue Sky Traders or Bryant Park Market next door. Terminal 5's earliest flyers have few options running this early, and this bakery is one of the only counters open before the sun comes up.
