Ice Box Café
Finding it
Ice Box Café is in 2nd Level Departures by Gate D-8 in North Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
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
MIA has a single Ice Box Café, by Gate D-8 on the North Terminal's 2nd Level Departures walk, with no sibling branch to weigh its hours against. It opens at 5:00am, ahead of nearly everything else on this stretch of the D concourse, and stays open until 11:00pm, later than the terminal's Cuban counters and coffee bars. That combination covers both the earliest departures out of D-8 and the last arrivals of the night, making it one of the few options at either end of the day when most of the terminal's other counters are shuttered.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
