So pretty but the food is not good.
The toast has NO BUTTER
THE EGGS TASTE TERRIBLE.
Expected so much better quality of food for such a cute Vicky Bakery.
Disappointed. -

Vicky Cafe used to be my go-to campus spot to satisfy my cravings, but unfortunately the quality has gone down. They have removed the happy hour deal with 50% off pastelitos. However, with the removal of the deal, the pastelitos got less and less filling. They are all crust! I ordered the guava and cheese pastelito and I promise you it was only 1 bite of cheese with 7 huge and thick bites of crust. My advice to them is if you're going to remove deals and be more expensive than the average Cuban bakery, make it worth your customer's while. The pastelitos cost $1.30, with barely any filling. There are other bakeries that give you much less crust and more filling for less. I have attached pictures to the review so readers can see.
I do, however, want to give credit to the staff. They are very warm and friendly! -

Good coffee and good food is all you need. I recommend ordering a cafe con leche whether it is hot or iced. For food, try the ham croquetas, papa rellena, or empanadas. They also have a delicious breakfast special of eggs, your choice of meat like ham or bacon, tostada, and french fries. There are also pastries and cakes if you're looking for something on the sweet side. I have also tried the pan con bistec for lunch and it does not disappoint. Inside this cute area, there is a couch in the lounge area. Tall chairs and tables, and a TV that plays music. Outside also has seating with a pretty view of a lake.

I know there's new businesses brewing around the FIU campus, but I'm going to make a statement I will always stand by: Vicky's is the best one and by a mile. Located next to the Frost art museum, Vicky's is the typical bakery we all grew up with. Pastellitos de guayaba, de queso, croquettas, coladas y cortaditos, whatever your heart desires lies within these four walls. It's a great place to hang out or study; there is plenty of seating inside as well as the outside patio/front, for those who prefer a more scenic approach. It's cozy enough to allow any stressed student who just wants to relax to do so without having to leave the campus.
They also have planned activities depending on the weekday. Tuesdays is salsa night and they give a free lesson from 7:30-8:30 pm. And the second and last Thursday of the month is always Mic night from 7-10 pm. If you have any talent of any kind, you can showcase it to the crowd that is sure to be there.
But the best part of it all? The beer. That's right, Vicky's has craft beer on tap, much of which are local beer breweries such as Concrete Beach, MIA, Tank, etc. just grab a glass and take a chair inside and get to work.
Tips: from 3-7pm is Happy Hour. Take advantage of the 5$ sangrias, you won't regret it. I believe in terms of the craft beer, you get a large cup for the price of the regular, which is another steal and 1$ off bottled beer.
