Inside the Air Canada Café

The Air Canada Café sits along Terminal 1's domestic concourse on Level 2, positioned just past security near Gate D20. Unlike the full-service Maple Leaf Lounge nearby, the Café is a lighter, more casual alternative — a curated coffeehouse experience with specialty coffee, freshly prepared hot and cold plates, snacks, Wi-Fi, and television screens.

Designed for everyday Air Canada travelers, the Café extends access to Aeroplan 50K and 75K members and Star Alliance Gold cardholders on domestic routes, making it one of the more accessible perks in the Air Canada lounge network. The pet-friendly policy for carriers and low-key atmosphere make it an easy choice for travelers who want a proper coffee and a quiet seat without the full buffet experience. Its central position near the domestic security exit makes it a natural first stop regardless of which departure pier you end up at.
