Review: Mövenpick Café Berlin Airport Terminal 1

Opening hours	4am – 9pm
Time of visit	12pm
Date of visit	April 2022

Location	Airside, Level E1, near Gate 20 (Schengen flights)
Entry type	Free via Priority Pass (from Citi Prestige Mastercard)

Mövenpick Café is the only Priority Pass facility in Berlin-Schoenefeld Brandenburg International Airport.

Do not expect typical lounge facilities like showers and computers as this is not technically a “lounge”; it is classified as a Priority Pass Restaurant where members are given a credit amount to spend on anything they want within the café.

Credit system

Priority Pass members visiting Mövenpick Café are given EUR 23 (S$34) per person (EUR 46 if you bring 1 guest). You can get any food or drink items from the menu and choose to dine in or take away.

My partner and I wanted to use the credit for coffee and a couple of cookies each but the friendly staff insisted that we use up our EUR 46 combined credit! She even threw in a couple of chocolate bars to make sure that we get as close as possible to the credit limit. How nice!

On-arrival or before departure

As we visited the café upon arrival, we had to collect our checked baggage soon and had everything to-go.

I flew out of the same terminal a few days later and got some snacks for the flight!

The café

The café was bright and airy with plenty of tables, should you choose to dine in. As mentioned above, the staff was really helpful and friendly!

Food options

Like most airport cafés, there were plenty of quick-bite options like sandwiches and pastries.

Bottom line

I would have preferred to have a proper lounge in this terminal but the generous credit at Mövenpick Café makes it a great option for pre-post flight snacks.
