At FIU, the Cafe Bustelo in the Graham Center is great and I enjoy eating breakfast here regularly. The staff is always excellent and the food is good. The first negative experience I had today was not because of the food or the staff, but because of the so-called manager. I saw the manager for the first time at the register taking orders. This woman BERATED an employee who prepared the coffee. Not redirecting her, but yelling at her at the top of her lungs in front of the people waiting for breakfast. Having an attitude like that is not appropriate for a manager, as it is unprofessional and makes everyone uncomfortable, including myself. Although millions of people line up each morning (and at all times, really), that place has always ran smoothly. It is the first time I have seen chaos, and I am certain it is because of the manager's lack of structure. She was unbelievably cruel, and a person like her shouldn't be in charge.

If you're looking for fresh food, this isn't the place to go. Everything, including the toast, is microwaved. The only freshly made item appears to be the coffee, probably because they have no other choice. Prices are also high makingyou think that the food is goodand fresh. Overall, it's disappointing."

Cafe Bustelo at FIU MMC Campus is fabulous. It’s been there forever, and usually open when other coffee places or food options are closed. The coffee is dependably strong, typical yummy croquettas, pastries, flavored coffees and other small bites. The ladies who work there are amazing, love them ?❤️. It’s in the Graham Center and it’s noisy with tons of seating nearby, love going there to plug into the university energy. Students from every country are around making atmosphere a delight. I go here often. ☕️

Every kind of meal I have tried here is very low quality for the given price. I just got a ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich where the cheese made up only 2% of the sandwich and ham was like 8%. It more of a bread and egg sandwich. Only thing I’ve tried here that is worth it is the colada which is the reason I’m giving 2 stars and not 1. Believe me I’m Cuban born and raised, I’ve been to several Cuban cafes and this one is way below average.

Well first off they took me on solstice without being initially open and gave a cold glass of water... From that alone they deserve 4 stars for excellent customer service

The majority of the staff members who work here are incredibly rude. They don’t even respond when you say “good morning” or anything. Only one of the ladies who I saw on a Saturday once is really nice, but the rest of them make you feel like you’re asking them for a favor by ordering. Two stars because the food, at least, is really good. The service, not so much.
