    4:00am pick me up  for a long travel day ahead :)

    Grabbed a Southern Pecan Praline from their "first class latte" selection and chefs kiss! My drink was the perfect amount of sweet and strong and piping hot. What more can you ask for?! This cart was located right after TSA so it's the go to place when you enter and make sure your shoes are tied and you have all your belongings. Overall grab a cup of flavored coffee or other beverage, grab a snack and enjoy your visit at probably one of the most chill airports

    Cold brew + Toffee Nut = Nom Nom

    Raquel KILLED IT AGAIN!!! She always goes above and beyond to know her frequent travels and has a big smile even at 4 am!!! Owners please reward this OUTSTANDING employee as there are very few folks in our current service industry that still take their job seriously. PLUS the cold brew is the best in the area! I look forward to my coffee at I always fly first thing in the morning and need my cup of Joe!!

    Cappuccino perfection

    Great coffee all locally sourced when possible, awesome location right after security and fast, friendly service. Did i mention they open at 4:30 am! Red Eye indeed!

    Offerings from Red Eye Express include locally roasted coffee and baked goods from local bakery

    Great spot! So nice to have coffee right through the TSA checkpoint. The staff was great and the coffee is delicious! And baked goodness from Crust Bakery. It's just one more thing to make CAE the best choice for travel.

    Great Coffee! The employees are the nicest people and fun to be around. Prices are perfect and very reasonable for an airport vendor.

    Oh well, I know for sure the next time I have an early flight out of CAE, they will be getting my business.

    Excellent customer service and delicious fresh homemade desserts! Highly recommend even on Mother's…read moreDay when it was crowded they were efficient.

    smallSUGAR was excellent! Everything, from the food to the ambiance to the customer service, was…read moreamazing! First and foremost, I must start by commending the girls who were working there. They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!
