Au Bon Pain
Finding it
Au Bon Pain is in 2nd Level Departures in North 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.
North Terminal has 51 places to eat and 60 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
On the pre-security side of North Terminal's 2nd Level Departures, this Au Bon Pain closes at 8:30 p.m., earlier than either of MIA's other two branches: the Central Terminal counter, also pre-security, runs to 9 p.m., and the post-security North Terminal location stays open until 10 p.m. All three share a 5 a.m. opening, so the difference between them is entirely at the closing end of the day. Positioned ahead of the checkpoint, it serves drop-offs and travelers still working through check-in rather than passengers already at the gate, a role the airside branches down the same concourse don't cover.
