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!

Icebox Cafe, Miami International Airport.
James L.

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!!!

Green Plate

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.

Had Oprah's favorite chocolate cake and the red velvet for a quick snack before boarding the plane and they were both heavenly.

The pulled pork sandwich was expensive, bland, tasteless and overrated. At 13 dollars I expected more regardless of location.

Here you will find several chocolate related desserts so we ordered the strawberries, chocolate bubble tea, and Ferrero Rocher shake. The Dubai strawberry was very good with large juicy fruits drenched in smooth melted chocolate. The cup also included a pistachio paste and kadayif giving it a good crispy texture. My only complaint was that the pistachio flavors were not as strong. The chocolate bubble tea was solid you can still taste milk tea taste. But the star of the meal was their Ferro Rocher shake smooth and nutty with a little Nutella drizzle. If you want some unique desserts pick up an order from Sweet and Sticky.

He couldn't decide what he wanted but I was there for the carrot cake!! It's my favorite. So the lady working let him taste the chocolate peanut butter pie that he ended up getting. I also got a toffee cookie because hey, toffee and cookies are always a good idea. Hubby got a guava and white chocolate cookie. The cream cheese icing on this cake was soooo delicious. It wasn't just sweet it was also buttery. The cake was equally delicious. My husband liked his pie but didn't really like the cookie. My toffee cookie was amazing though. I think guava and white chocolate could be too sweet. Hey, he picked it. My carrot cake was so good, we ventured back out to go again. So yes twice in one trip. There was a guy there with a friend buying a cake because he remembered having it for his birthday party as a kid. Having carried that memory to adulthood let me know this was the real deal.

The ice cream now feels heavier and has a more artificial taste, which is noticeable even in the appearance (the pistachio flavor is a clear example).

Cold after dinner sorbet still hit the spot while on a summer stroll. The cup didn't last long even with the comically small spoon they give you. Few bites. I appreciated that they had a few decent vegan flavors to choose from. The chocolate was great and the others didn't feel overly sweet nor lacking. Casual take out spot. It's in a great walkable location, so the line was forming. It's over priced for what you're getting tbh, but it's in the right place and it's pretty good. On the right night, I can see myself going back.... Just wish they were a bit more generous with the scoops or shaved the price down a bit. To be fair, this may be an industry wide issue recently. I'm noticing a lot of restaurants having trouble striking that right value for the customer this summer :(

Azucar bills itself as the first homemade Cuban ice cream and I believe it. Get the Abuela Maria. It is their number one seller for a reason: guava, cream cheese, and Maria cookies folded together, and it tastes exactly like something a Cuban grandmother would make if she also happened to be a genius. Cafe con Leche and Mantecado round out the top three and neither disappoints. Real talk on the practical stuff. It is busy and the shop is small, so expect a line and expect to eat standing or perched on the window bench. Prices run about seven to eleven bucks a cup depending on size, but taxes are included in the sticker (rare and appreciated, no surprise math at the register). Cash and Apple Pay both work. Pro move: grab your cup, walk thirty seconds to Domino Park, and eat it watching the old timers slap dominoes. That combo is peak Little Havana. Five stars, would fly back to Miami for the Abuela Maria alone.

It's been a while since I've gone to a restaurant and the service and food quality was so amazing that it literally made me stop in my tracks but here we are! I started with a hot mocha latte. I am a coffee snob and this drink was made to perfection! Absolutely delicious and I didn't want the cup to end! It was the perfect balance of smoothness and warmth and it was sweetened perfectly! For breakfast, I decided to get the mushroom toast and it was amazing! I was skeptical about the ricotta addition but it was spread on the toast like butter, very plentiful and tasty! That along with the other ingredients used made it taste exceptional! Perfect price point too! I was more than satisfied! Last but not least the service by host staff and waiters was top tier. Very attentive and lots of smiles! They genuinely seemed happy to have me and treated me like a guest in their home. I genuinely can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu! Thank you for an amazing experience!
