About this location
Near Gate D-20 on Concourse D, this is MIA's only Booklink & Café, combining a bookstore with a coffee counter rather than splitting the two functions the way the concourse's Air Essentials shops do with books and travel goods. All three shops nearby are Air Essentials locations, so it's the one different storefront in an otherwise repeated retail row. Its 5am open and 10:30pm close line up with the two airside Air Essentials branches rather than the earlier-closing pre-security one.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
