Cibo Express

Cibo Express is a waste of money. The coffee is horrible, the food is inedible. I would highly recommend eating elsewhere in Newark airport.
All the breakfast options seemed pricey $ 25+ in Newark so I came here because it was cheaper and quick. Note that I said cheaper, it wasn’t that cheap. A coffee and sandwich will easily set you back by at least $ 10.
There is an ipad where you can order sandwiches. I ordered an egg white omelette, which they claimed they didn’t have. So I ordered an egg sandwich. They messed up my order, they didn’t put the right cheese. The eggs were so burnt, it was like eating tasteless dry hard yellow crap. It was gross. Even though I was starving, I didn’t finish my sandwich. The cashier wasn’t even there, everyone had to wait for her to come so that they could pay.
Even though I hate airplane food, I gotta say that horrible airplane food is better than Cibo Express.

I am at the sit down CIBO by gate C113.
There are no power outlets like at other similar restaurants in the terminal.
iPads are barely charged at 15−20% and do not seem to have enough bandwidth to connect to the Internet.
The music is a bit overwhelming so not the best place for a business traveler.
The menu is ok, with a heavy representation of middle eastern specialties. The butternut squash soup is watery and tasteless. I couldn’t eat it.
Right now, an employee is standing by the coffee station and using a lint roller to clean her uniform. No coffee for me!
A rugged traveler walks in and asks to refill her huge water jug. Instead of giving her a glass of water the waiter just takes her jug and fills it up. Not sure I want to know what is going on in their kitchen…

Terrible value! $ 9.99 sandwich with old brown lettuce and bread that fell apart immediately which leads me to believe the sandwich was quite old. $ 10.49 cheese and fruit plate had grapes, 1 strawberry, 3 crackers, and one piece of brie. What a joke. It’s cheaper to eat at an NFL stadijm, no wonder this operation only has 2 stars.

Way over priced even for a terminal and all the menu pics are completely NOT what you’re getting
UPDATE: no more than ten mins after I posted this review did the manager Sean appear at my side to offer his apology for the order I got. Offered to give me whatever I needed to replace that meal. That kind of response time to my online review? THATS pretty impressive!

Some of the worst and most unpleasant service I’ve ever experienced. Had no idea someone could mess up a plain bagel with cream cheese, but the woman manning the toaster achieved. Seemed as though she felt she was doing customers a favor by handing them their food. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would NOT return. I fly out of this terminal very frequently and have yet to experience a staff that so clearly hates their jobs.

Although during «normal» operating hours this place may be fine at 4a it isn’t … Self checkout kiosks were not set up. Cases were full of food but no way to pay for it… would it have been ok to open a beverage and just drink it right there? My mischievous self wanted to but I just walked away frustrated.

This is a monopoly. If you don’t want to pay $ 5 for an ounce of trail mix, you can only walk from one cibo store to another for the same outrageous prices. People are easily fooled by nice packaging

Cashier very pleasant and cheerful
Food INCREDIBLY slow
45 minutes for a deli turkey sandwich
Not the place to grab a Sammy if you need to make a flight

This is my go to in terminal c for food for flight. I always get the chicken salad with raspberry dressing. I just love it.
Have to say — for airport restaurant the folks that work here are amazing. Always helpful!

Not too bad for airport foods. This is the place to go to for lighter fares. All type of salads, sandwiches, wraps, suchi, yogurts, and drinks are available. There are also vegan selections. We ate dinner here while waiting for the United Airline plane to be fixed. I got a turkey with Gorda on rye. It actually had good taste. My daughter picked up a house salad. The vegetables were fresh. Definitely will buy again for on plane meal since our plane will not serve dinner.

So, I travel via plane every week. I mean every week and 90% of the time I fly via Newark International. Recently it seems the whole terminal C has been given a facelift in terms of the shops and restaurants. I absolutely hate the changes.
The cheap veneer of white laminate furniture is already starting to look worn and damaged. The shops which used to serve all necessity items for a busy traveler (like me, licorice, chips, Swedish fish, etc,) have all been replaced by some wacky gluten-​free, organic pile of pre-​packaged granola.
I mean no licorice is sin against humanity in terms of air travel snack preparedness. You blew it whoever owns these shops. You lose hundreds on me now, can only imagine that other normal eaters are skipping your stands as well. Guess things will turn back to more gluten soon.
End of rant.

***This is a better than average airport convenience store; while it is pricey, you can purchase a wide variety of snacks, sweets and bottled water; they also feature a good assortment of ready-​to-​go meals (chilled) for the plane ride like wraps, cheese plates and more (they even have a few healthy options)***
This airport convenience store is located past security so it is only open to air travelers. I imagine parking here is expensive.
