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.
