It's situated in the Brentwood Bay in a cute spot with a fairly large patio overlooking the harbour. The menu was not huge but there were a number of gluten-free options that were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a spot for lunch.

The tostado was supposed to come with prawns, but I only got six in total and they were very hard and overcooked. There was also a very small amount of avocado on the crispy tortilla. I asked if the dish could be prepared again but was told that is how they serve it. Definitely wouldn't order that again, but will try a few other things as the experience of sitting on the deck with such a great view is very special! The server was very professional and nice.

I read an earlier review from a fellow Seattleite who griped about the lack of wifi here, and my…read morefirst thought was "Sweet, no laptops hogging all the tables!" (I view this all-too-common situation as one of the downsides to the shift away from working at the office. I'm am staunchly in favor of working from home, but not from the cafe. I have spoken. /grumpy old man rant) The weather was shite outside, so I went with a cozy salted caramel latte and a cheddar & sundried tomato scone. Both were fab. The service was prompt and pleasant, and the music (not something I typically notice) is groovy enough that I am loath to leave. I don't come to Victoria often, but I hope this place is still here next time.

It's a tiny spot and only has a few tables and they were all taken. The hotel lobby had cozy couches and a fire pit, so we ordered our coffees and sat in the lobby. As for Staff, they weren't rude, but weren't friendly either. My cappuccino was good and I got my work done.

Cute diner that is 60s reminiscent. It was clean and had plenty of space. I came on a Monday at…read morearound noon and it wasn't busy. I like that there were trivia cards on the table for you to entertain yourself while you wait for your food. The staff was very nice and attentive. I got the What the Cluck fried chicken and stuffed fries pancakes. I did see the reviews saying the portions were huge but this could've definitely fed 2. For $23, I think this was a steal. I only was able to finish one layer of waffles, the piece of chicken, and some potatoes in my sitting and had to pack them for later. The pancakes had herbs (green onions I think?) stuffed in between which was interesting and I didn't expect it. My two complaints about the meal are that the outer coating of the fried chicken was overfried, resulting in a darker coat and the chicken to be slightly tougher, and that there was only one small piece of chicken. It definitely is a potato-centric portion, with loads of fries and side potatoes. I think if I was to come back, I wouldn't get this again but it settled my curiosity. My partner enjoyed her eggs benedict.

We left disappointed with our experience. The wait for our food was much longer than expected, and…read morewhen we asked to share a plate, we were told we couldn't unless we purchased an extra side, which seemed like an odd policy--especially considering how large the portions already are. The seafood chowder was also disappointing two people in our group had it, It had a strange flavor and wasn't something we enjoyed. Unfortunately, the fish and chips didn't make up for it. The batter was very greasy, and one piece of fish on each of our plates was mushy instead of flaky and fresh. There were four of us that got it. The coleslaw had no flavor as well. The tarter sauce was really good. Overall, the long wait, the unusual plate-sharing policy, the odd-tasting chowder, and the poor quality of the fish made for an underwhelming experience. We were expecting much better.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I love this place so much. When I lived in…read moreVictoria, I would come here all the time, but since I've moved to Vancouver, I've only been here once in the last 5-6 months. Buuuut, I finally got to come back here this past weekend and it was like coming home. It had the same comfort-style breakfast foods and the quality was exactly the same, maybe even better (although I could have been biased since I missed this place so much). I usually stick to my usual traditional breakfasts (sausage, egg, bacon, check!), however, whenever I came to Urban Cup, I was trying something different. Whether it's their breakfast or lunch menu, you can't really go wrong. They have a soup + sandwich special that changes daily, and every time it's looked delicious! It's hard to pinpoint what my favourite dish is here. It might be a tie between their hashbrowns (home-style pan fried) or clam chowder. But like I said before, everything on this menu is delicious. What's really nice about UC is that you order and pay right when you walk in, seat yourselves, and the food gets brought out to you. So when you're finished you can take your time and leave whenever, without trying to get your server's attention to pay your bill. It's a bit of a hidden gem really, overshined by the more popular brunch spots like Jam and Blue Fox, but if you're looking to avoid the long lines, pay for a (cheap) amazing breakfast, and don't want to go downtown, then come here. You won't regret it.

My favourites so far are the honey lavender latte and the matcha, both so tasty and well made.

We also tried the breakfast burrito and grilled cheese, and both were really tasty. Definitely a spot worth visiting! Tons of parking spots too!
