Counter front at a cafe, Concourse C

[What's open at ATL right now](https://atlairportguide.com/dining/#open-now): Every place to eat and shop open at this hour, in airport time, with when it closes.

Atlanta Bread Company at Gate C33 and a Starbucks at C37 both open at 4:30 a.m., and La Madeleine at C40 is the only food place here open 24 hours. The middle of the concourse has a food court called The Connection, with picture windows over the airfield.

Concourse C is a separate building out on the airfield, so you’ll ride the Plane Train to reach it, as our [concourse map](https://atlairportguide.com/terminals/terminal/) shows. ATL lists no security side, menu or price for the places on [Concourse C](https://atlairportguide.com/dining/concourse-c/).

Two stretches of gates hold most of the gate-side food. Gates C12 to C14 have a cluster of counters, and C40 to C44 have another, where there’s a barbecue bar at C42.

## The Connection, at the center

ATL’s own write-up of The Connection names five counters and says order kiosks cover all of them. It describes big windows over the airfield. The directory puts four counters in the center and Bantam & Biddy northeast of it. Discover Atlanta’s airport dining story puts Bantam & Biddy next to C33, where the directory lists Atlanta Bread Company.
