About this location
The counter is on the 2nd level departures walkway by Gate E-23, a coffee-and-bagel pairing rather than a full sit-down stop. It opens at 6am, missing the very first E-concourse push but ready well before the mid-morning bank, and stays open to 9pm. No other location of this pairing turns up elsewhere at MIA, so travelers passing through a different gate won't find the same bagel case. Being on the departures level rather than tucked into a food court means it's visible from the walkway itself, useful if you're moving fast between E-2 and E-23 and don't want to detour.
