    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.

    Service: The staff was friendly and food didn't take very long! Ambiance: It's a hotel one stop shop for snacks and foods, so don't expect anything fancy. The location was perfectly fine, nice place to sit down and eat some lunch. Food: The sandwich was quite delicious I had a pulled pork sandwich and was surprised at how good it was. Price: Remember, this is an airport, so everything is outlandishly priced, but if a crummy cold sandwhich costs $12 everywhere then why not spend those $12 on a hot fresh sandwhich. They have a couple of options and I honestly couldn't find anywhere cheaper to get some lunch from.

    Much needed!

Appears like a large building from the outside but is actually a small quaint space that is clean and well kept.

I imagine this place runs in to out of towners a lot but they treated us kindly and, if we lived here, we would definitely put this spot on rotation. Our sandwiches were amazing. My partner got the one with plantains in it and that one definitely stole the show. I liked my tinta y cafe sandwich, but her's was a star.

It's small, though, so be prepared to put your name on a waitlist if you're hoping to sit inside. There's also an outdoor seating option where you can order through their cute little walk-up window "la ventanita," as they call it. On a cloudy day like ours, the weather wasn't an issue, but unfortunately the outdoor area shows some wear: the plants, and the tables all need some attention. Worth noting, one section sits close to the restaurant's large trash bins, and the smell does reach the tables, which is a shame. Now, the good stuff , and there's plenty of it. The staff is wonderful: young, enthusiastic, genuinely warm and professional. The passion they have for what they do comes through immediately. The passion fruit juice (jugo de parchita) was absolutely delicious naturally unsweetened, which for me is exactly right. And the sandwich? That's what brought me here in the first place, and it did not disappoint. It was outstanding, the kind of thing you find yourself thinking about long after you've left. 100% recommended. Here's hoping they give that outdoor space some love soon!

But the banana cookie? Easily one of the best cookies I've had in a long time. It had that perfect crisp, crunchy texture (which I love), with great flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I wasn't expecting it to steal the show, but it absolutely did. I'll be back just to work my way through the rest of their baked goods. I also tried the oat milk matcha latte with honey lavender. It was good. Smooth, lightly floral, and not overly sweet. Nothing to brag about though. I pulled up right at opening and there was already a line, which is always a good sign. Thankfully, the team has a super efficient system, so it moves quickly. I got there at 8:00 and was out by 8:17 with everything in hand. Not bad at all. Can't speak for peak hours, but mornings seem manageable. The setup is a small food truck, but the design is clean and aesthetic. It still gives that cozy coffee shop feel despite being in a parking lot. Bonus points for the ample free parking (always a win). Safe to say, I'll definitely be back.
