Finding it
Carlo's Bake Shop Express is in H-11 - 2nd Level Departures in South Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
South Terminal has 21 places to eat and 42 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4:30am.
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 is a vending machine, not a counter, stocked with Carlo's cake slices at H-11 on the South Terminal's 2nd level departures. It runs around the clock, which matters less for meal timing than for a 2am arrival wanting something sweet with no staffed kitchen open nearby. MIA carries two more of these machines: one in the North Terminal at D-34 and another in the South Terminal, both also running 24 hours. Because it needs no staff and no seating, it sits in a corridor spot the Subway and Burger King a few doors down can't occupy, filling a gap those kitchens leave overnight.
