So I used to get a little excited when I would arrive at MIA with a few extra minutes before my flight. Even if my gate was at the other side of the terminal I would race to Ice Box. Everything was excellent (cookies, cakes, entrees, wine, coffee). I was shocked by the quality and value of this "airport food". But I've been extremely disappointed on my last two visits. On my last visit I received a cold piece of meatloaf and today I ordered a breakfast sandwich which, In the past was light, the bread soft and it came with a delicious side of greens. TODAY, I was given a STALE, greasy, hard sandwich wrapped in foil with no greens. I also ordered coffee and was told they only have espresso drinks. This is an airport and it's 8am how can you NOT have coffee??? The only thing that remains of the once greatness of this place is the smiling service given by the cashiers but unfortunately that isn't enough to keep me coming back. - read more

One of the best local spots in Miami. Always a fresh and innovative menu. They make a mean ginger margarita and I always end the meal with the worlds best cake...Chocolate Delight....a cheesecake inside a rich chocolate mousse cake covered in chocolate ganache...it cant get any better. read more

So when we were going through the airport the sign on the window saying best cake 2006 rung out. We had to give it a try. I had the strawberry short cake. I found the texture to be soggy and the cake overall to be pretty bland. On the was back (a week later) I decided to give it another try. This time I tried the soup, a chicken curry which was actually very good. I finished it with the red velvet cake (which is my all time favorite cake). However this piece was awful. Dried out and just nasty. Since the place is known for the cakes, I'll have to say that it did not live to the billing. Save your self the money and time. read more

Overpriced and slow service. $6.42 for a small apple juice and a diet coke. Spend your money elsewhere in the airport.

Quick, Easy and best of all.....VEGAN OPTIONS. The staff was very helpful, even when one of the muffins wasn't as moist as it should have been. All in all a very good experience, especially if you're short on time before your next flight. read more

While strolling through terminal D in search of some good Cuban eats, I read 'Oprah's favorite cake' and knew I needed some. The chocolate delight as it's called was $6 for a very large slice. It is chocolate cake with chocolate moose, and cheesecake layered and all covered in chocolate ganache. It sounds and looks better than it tasted. It was good, okay really good, but not the best by any means. I also had to try the dulce de leche cake. Both my husband and I liked this one better. It was so decadent, moist and sweet. I just wish the caramel flavor had come through a bit more. Both pieces were worth the money and a great find in the airport. read more

Excellent for Airport fare. Skip the pre packaged meals and get a hot sandwich to go. Excellent pulled pork sandwich.

I've worked in the D concourse at MIA for years and used to love coming to icebox for fresh foods.... everything has changed ....skimpy portions, over priced..... what a shame ..... thankful there are many other options in the terminal. read more

Are here for breakfast early on a weekend. The interesting menu, great design, and attractive cakes are a ruse. The breakfast sandwich was microwaved with a soggy bun. The bacon was fast food quality, and not hot. The oatmeal was OK, but too sweet for my taste. Hard to mess up oatmeal. The best juice drink was good but way overpriced ($8.50). I would've been better off at McDonald's... And I hate McDonald's. read more

Always consistently good food at this spot. I've had their rotating green bowl, curry chicken, and pulled pork sandwich. All were filling and tasty meals. The price seems a little high, especially considering you don't even get a bag of chips with your sandwich, but when you just want a good meal between airports, this is a place to visit. The pulled pork sandwich is by far my favorite. Texans, beware: there is no bbq sauce on this sandwich, but it's a generous portion of meat. read more

I would normally say that I hate food in the airport but I LOVE going here and look forward to it. I have even walked out of my way to go to the place for a great bite before jumping on the airplane. The staff is lovely and always happy to serve. Hands down my fav item on the menu is the Coconut Chicken Curry Soup. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. If you are going in the American terminal this is a must stop. read more

I was fortunate that my gate happened to exit right next to Icebox. I was tempted by the desserts and had the German Chocolate Cake. It was a big slice and pretty good, but I was more impressed by the pulled pork sandwich. It was made with cilantro aioli instead of BBQ sauce, and was amazing. Wish it wasn't just in the airport. I will have to try another dessert next time :) read more

This is by far the best to-go restaurant option at MIA airport, they serve soups, sandwiches, meat loaf, etc., things that you cant get a regular fast food place, still its airport food, still its pre-cooked meaning they just pop it in a microwave and give it to you, but way better. I think if they could some how offer quick made to order food itll be better, also I think itll be good if they could change the menu time to time for frequent flyers you get bored. read more

Always stop here when in MIA. They have good fresh salads and sandwiches. Good vegetarian options for me. Vegan soba noodle salads and tofu sandwiches! Don't get the guava and cheese pastry here. It is $3.50. Go to Cafe Versailles right across the hall. I threw the one away that I got here. And ate the one from CV which was only $1.25 instead. read more

Service lovely. Double chocolate cookie tasty and only a little dry, but at 680 calories for one cookie, I won't be back.

Very slow customer service, the food is tasteless and the server gave us the wrong dish...only the mojitos drinks were good. Not a very good first impression... read more

When you are in the Miami Airport, get the Thai chicken salad with wheat berries. So delicious and the perfect meal for flying. not to heavy and the dressing and generous portion of pulled chicken is perfect for the flight. read more

Soup was OK, but not spectacular. Certainly not the quality that they big brave sign claims (one of Oprah's favs).

Picked up Curry chicken for dinner on the plane. So yummy! Big portion size too. The chicken as well as the veggies (the eggplant was really good) and the cilantro rice were fantastic. Price was $13 plus tax. Next time I will try dessert. read more

Delicious cake! Try the dulce de leche. Yum. The coffee wasn't very good but I would go back just for the cake.

Not sure why I haven't written about this place before. An oasis in the desert of airport food. If you want to take yummy snacks with you on the plane and not subject yourself to plane food this is your spot. Yes, it is expensive but most airport food is :( Highlights include: coconut cake, caramel brownie (amaaaazzing) and the BLT wrap. read more

My blueberry muffin tasted like a Costco muffin. Enough said. Quick service however if you are looking for a snack before boarding a flight but average at best. read more

When in a new city, I like to try the 'must-haves' and the 'chocolate bomb' cake was Oprah's favorite cake and I'm a huge chocolate lover, so I had to try this thing. I managed to get a slice at the airport location (for breakfast!) and I think I built it up too much in my mind. I enjoyed the outer 'crust' the best, because I felt like the main 'cheesecakey' part was a little too dense for my taste. It was rich, but the different layers of chocolate made it work together and kept it from being overwhelmingly rich or sweet. Overall, not my favorite cake. Oprah needs to visit my fave Thai place for theirs, maybe she'd change her mind!!!!!! read more

Pricey, but I guess it's the airport... Too bad the location is on the edge of the airport, because it is one of the better spots for breakfast food. read more

Delicious cakes. Not overly sweet nor heavy. I am usually not a sweets person, however, the cakes looked delicious and I could not resist. I am looking forward to trying different cake flavors, and their salads as well. read more

This is a refreshing healthy choice in D terminal! Green juice drinks, gluten free and yummy choices. The friendly staff is a bonus too

Good food. Terrible service. I come here very often so I can say that tables are always dirty, your food stays on the window (ready) until they feel like they should call you to pick it up. They are now warming everything together in the microwave which make some parts extremely hot and others cold. Plus, now they serve everything in to go containers even if you are eating in. read more

I stopped here at the Miami International Airport. I found it in Terminal 4 (American Airlines). The staff was nice and the presentation of the food in the bakery reminded me of one of my favorite bakeries back home in Los Angeles, Magnolia Bakery. It's not cheap but I bought a few items regardless. I bought a slice of the key lime pie, vanilla cheesecake, a peanut butter cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything tasted great and when you are I'm Miami, I strongly suggest that you go to the Icebox Cafe! read more

it was nos easy to choose what to eat because they have a lot of options! The food and the service was very very good. I will be there again soon. read more

There are many restaurants to choose from at the large Miami airport, but this one caught my eye because of the name and the extensive menu of comforting foods! I got the chicken coconut curry soup and angus meatloaf with sweet potato mash, all of which was incredible! The portions are huge and if I had room, I definitely would have tried one of their delicious looking desserts. Next time, for sure! The servers were very friendly too, which is ALWAYS a plus. read more

This place is DELICIOUS!! Came to the restaurant very last minute for brunch with my girlfriends. There was a bit of a wait as it is a pretty popular spot but the staff was very accommodating and sat us quickly at a table outside. Our waitress was great and our food was way above average! Portions are large and the flavors are SO GOOD!! Each of our dishes were excellent and I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu! Definitely going back soon. Great experience. read more

This is one of those fabulous and rare places where traveling vegetarians can get tasty, healthy food, prepared fresh when you order it. Of course, it's almost impossible not to then blow the healthy part by having one of their deserts (I especially like their carrot cake) -- I don't eat cake very often, but I think that Ice Box cakes are worth the splurge. I have had much better meals here than I have had in any number of high priced restaurants. Yeah for Ice Box -- I just wish that they would open outlets in lots of other airports! read more

Out of coffee at a cafe? Are you kidding? Unacceptable to be out of any coffee at 10am. Ugh. Otherwise the grab n go are good. The service lacks a smile. How about making sure the night before you check inventory before opening the next day. read more

Travelling is always a drag with all the lines and security and scrunching into your seat on the plane. It just is not that much fun to fly anymore. On top of that, the food choices in the airports are generally flat out BAD!.... Not in Miami Airport!! The Icebox Cafe--an airport branch of the restaurant of the same name on Miami Beach---is a refreshing change to the boring, disgusting fast food options that are normally available. Not only can you get a taste of their famous delicious desserts, but all of the food is freshly made. You can get a delicious sandwich or salad and feel like you are actually eating well while you are travelling. These guys should put an Icebox in every airport to help out the hungry traveler. read more

The bread was good. I had the Caribbean sandwich, and the pickles on it were a nice touch. That is about all the good I can say of this cafe. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich, and aside from the bread, he was not impressed. We had a chocolate chunk cookie. It literally had no taste, and it was so dry it crumbled in your hand. I ordered a Mocha (for $4.75 I might add) - there was my worst mistake! I watched them make the mocha: they dumped a packet of Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix in a cup, poured coffee over the top, and that was it. Didn't even stir it. One thing I will say, the staff was very friendly and understanding when I asked for my money back for the coffee. read more

Super yum! I got the icebox melt and a piece of carrot cake. Both were delicious. The two young women who were working were incredibly friendly and helpful! I wish I knew their names, but I came at 8:20 on 6/24 - so I'm sure management will be able to figure out who they are. Thank you! read more

We had tremendous brunch at the icebox café. Staff was extremely courteous and prompt. Food was fresh and very flavorful. In particular the desserts were outstanding. The Keylime pie was one of the best that we ever had. Owner and manager were checking on all customers and we had the privilege of meeting the owner Robert who is been running this restaurant for 20 years. As a couple who eats out constantly we thought this is one of the better places that we had ever had for brunch in terms of service food quality and taste and value. Highly recommend it if you have the opportunity. At a minimum stop by for the desserts read more

I travel through Miami airport a lot. I used to love icebox because of their healthy options. I especially love the soups. However, they upped the prices of the soups, made the portions smaller, and the quality has significantly decreased. So disappointed! read more

I havent tried their food so I cant say anything about that. They do have a really nice place to sit with tables and chairs. However, their coffee is atrocious. I asked for iced coffee and the cashier said I could try starbucks. I opted for a hazelnut coffee, which was just subpar coffee with too much hazelnut syrup. read more

The most inefficient operation mean any airport on the East Coast. You're almost sure to miss your flight!
