About this location
This kiosk sits by Gate G-9 in the Central Terminal, one concourse over from the Guava & Java at Gate F-14, and both keep identical 9am to 9pm hours. That timing means it opens well after the first wave of morning departures, so it's not an option for early connections through Concourse G. With Jackson Soul Food, QUORE Gelato and Skittles Remix all nearby, it's one of several grab-and-go counters in this stretch rather than a sit-down stop. Choosing between the two Guava & Java locations comes down to which gate concourse, F or G, is closer to your own flight.
