Au Bon Pain
Finding it
Au Bon Pain is in 2nd Level Departures in Central Terminal at Miami International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.
Central Terminal has 32 places to eat and 31 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
This Au Bon Pain sits pre-security on the 2nd Level Departures of Central Terminal, open 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., a stop for anyone arriving before a checkpoint line rather than after one. MIA runs two more branches, both in North Terminal: one post-security location open until 10 p.m. and a second pre-security counter that closes earlier, at 8:30 p.m. That makes this Central Terminal branch the only pre-security Au Bon Pain outside North Terminal, useful for someone dropping off a passenger or arriving without a boarding pass yet. Nearby counters include Jackson Soul Food and QUORE Gelato rather than another bakery-cafe.
