    Quinoa bowl with roasted veggies
    Joe K.

    Icebox is a love/hate kind of place in the MIA airport. They have good looking food for prices that usually send me away. However with this visit I was looking for a healthy salad and the roasted veggies with quinoa looked pretty good. Even at around $15 good for pre packaged insanely wasteful single serve food product with the sauce fully contained within another plastic container. After ordering I sat down in the "cafe" in which you can watch aircraft takeoff, land,etc and hear about customers complain that "the prices we pay here we should have cell phone plugs available" While I don't disagree as they charge a premium for food, I understand the dynamics of airport food service. It's not up to the vendor typically. Give it a rest. The service is very Miami indifferent which I was surprised about. I'm not a stranger to MIA airport and I'll leave it at that, and I was treated with supreme can't give a crap about what you ordered service. It's Miami, and I'll take off another star for that. I'm there often, all the time.

    Curry chicken with cilantro rice and roasted vegetables
    Wendy L.

    Located in the American Airlines terminal, this place is a great alternative to all the other fast food options nearby. They have a decent number of tables and a small bar area for seating. There are plenty of grab-and-go boxes featuring more than just salads and sandwiches. They also sell daily soups, hot sandwiches, alcohol, coffee, and a variety of desserts (cakes, cookies, etc.). I choose to try their curry chicken with cilantro rice. The piece of chicken breast was really substantial and their curry sauce was delicious and not spicy. If you're looking for something warm to eat I highly recommend getting this. They serve it in a to-go box so it's convenient to take on your flight.

    Don't waste your time or your money. $13 for a strawberry/banana smoothie and yogurt base as well as a blueberry muffin. Not worth it or even tasty for that matter. They up charge you for more than two fruit... There was a hair on my cup!

    Excellent option for a hearty hot meal in the North Terminal (D gates/ post security) at Miami International Airport. Hungry and in need of a nice hot meal, a friend recommended the curry chicken and cilantro rice at Icebox. The exact location is opposite gate D11 after security. The Icebox appears more of a coffee shop/ bakery, but actually serves good amount of hot options in addition to sandwiches and empanadas. The curry chicken was excellent; generous amounts of chicken breast served in a rich creamy sauce, accompanied by roasted vegetables (squash, peppers, egg plant and carrots) and delicious cilantro white rice. The size of the portion was enormous and very nicely presented. The only thing I could pick at would be that I wish it had been slightly spicier, but that's just a personal preference. Overall a great spot that you could very easily walk on past as the "Icebox" has some pretty good HOT food!!!

    I'm in MIA Airport today, so I decided to go to my favorite place to get some food. It's in the D concourse(American Airlines)by gate D11. They have all sorts of delicious items on the menu and you can have them for here or to go. My favorite item is "Green Plate"(brown rice, portobello mushrooms and kale in the balsamic/curry sauce). It's so delicious. I also had a small coconut curry soup. They also have fanulous cakes(ones Oprah was raving about) of many different kind like red velvet and dulce de leche etc. I've had a dulce de leche before and it was a huge piece and so rich. They also have pre made wraps/sandwiches and salads etc. I definitely recommend this place when you are at D concourse in Miami Airport or on your stop over. You will not be disappointed.

    I love icebox this was my second time here and the experience is top notch food is always fresh and tasty. the staff always make it their priority to keep guests satisfied. And special thanks to your hard working waiter by the name of Diego and Ana for make the best drinks in town.

Great spot to hang out. They have a few outdoor tables and a bar. The place is not large but it's really very cool. Maybe it the coffe? The original concept was to take a ventanita up a notch and their coffe is excellent. A beautifully presented and tasting cafe con leche or cortadito And they have parking, free parking

    I had a rude and unprofessional experience with the barista working today (8/28/26) - purple hair,…read morelots of eye makeup, did not get her name. After ordering my drinks and receiving them, she felt the need to hold up the line and single me out in front of everyone to inform me that she "wouldn't order" the way I ordered. Not telling me that I couldn't, but that *she* wouldn't. It came across incredibly self-important and petty. For context, I ordered two double espressos and paid an additional $1 for each cup of oat milk on the side. This is on the menu. I didn't ask for anything outrageous, yet she seemed perturbed that I ordered what I paid for. I have a newborn and have replaced oat milk whenever I use 'milk' because my supply has been very low and oats are said to aid in lactation support. I'm pumping breastmilk in the car every time I drive and nursing throughout the day. I'm doing everything in my power to consume as many lactation supporting foods as I can. I PAID FOR IT. I paid nearly $13 for two beverages, I didn't ask for anything free or try to do anything inappropriate. Yet I was treated with such odd hostility from the barista. She even made some comment about it being "a lot of cups", except it was just the two cups of milk where I poured the espresso into. She very simply could have poured the espresso into the cup of milk and ice, but apparently that was not something she was willing to do. So it seems the two little paper espresso cups going to 'waste' are because of her method of preparation and service. I didn't ask for special treatment or any exceptions to be made for me, I ordered off the menu. I paid for the milk and I paid for the espresso. The semantics of what I do with what I pay for is not of the barista's concern. I would encourage some supplemental training or remove oat milk from the menu if customers are going to be spoken to disrespectfully for buying it.

The flavors, presentation, and whole experience made it so much fun to try different things and share them around the table. The atmosphere has so much character and feels authentically Miami. If you love coffee and want to experience something beyond the usual latte or cappuccino, La Colada is an absolute must. We loved it and would 100% come back the next time we're in Miami!

The flan was also delicious and definitely worth ordering. The staff were friendly and welcoming each time we visited. One thing I'd note for first-time visitors is that it seems easiest to order at the register, especially when things get busy and there's a lot going on. Great coffee, great food, and a place we'll continue coming back to whenever we're in Miami.

The hostess was very sweet & offered us counter seating, but it was literally right next to the entrance where everyone was standing trying to get out of the hot sun. Definitely not the birthday brekkie vibe I was after. And the parking situation? Diabolical. If I ever go back, I'm taking a Lyft. Once we got back to the car, I started thinking of somewhere close, delicious & that we could hopefully get into before 10:30, when most Miamians start making their way into the streets & every breakfast spot gets overrun. THREEFOLD CAFE! Hadn't been in a while & it was my dad's first time. We drove the 5min distance, parked in the ample, inexpensive garage & walked over.
