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.
