It appears to be a favorite with locals, this might partially be because it is not near the prime touristy spots. Oh, the coffee is GOOD. A good vibe all around.

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.

Omgosh we love this spot! Super cute and local! Their coffee is fabulous and free refills. But the…read moreshow stopper is the food and the employees. Let's start with the people. They are all sooo NICE! And the food is freshly made everyday! The blueberry muffins are mind numbing good!! Loaded with berries! we shared a breakfast veggie sandwich and the hash brown potato wedges were also fantastic! They were crispy and nicely seasoned so they had tons of flavor. And their homemade hot sauce is like a wing sauce. Delicious!

Our group had a little bit of everything and all was good. I definitely recommend here for breakfast! It is a small place but they are very efficient. Probably the best thing I had were the potatoes. I do love how they smash and fry them so there are crispy bits. The bacon was really good too! The only real negative is everything needed salt and I am not usually a salt person but dang! Try it if you are in the area and able to wait.

This establishment is amazing! I stopped here with my family for lunch before catching ferry to…read moreVancouver. It was actually a best decision ever! We ordered Deluxe Beef Burger ($18.50), Clubhouse Sandwich ($16), Chicken Strips ($15.50) and a can of Coke ($3). All the food had a heart portion. They were freshly made and fries were perfectly done. We had our food with fries which also can be substituted for salad or soup. Everything was delicious. Portion was bigger than I thought it would be. Chicken strips were crispy and tender. Deluxe Burger was amazing it was loaded with different toppings including mushrooms. Clubhouse was pretty good as well. There were so much fries. We could eat fries endlessly while tummies feeling full. This restaurant really IS a hidden gem in Sidney. I'll remember to stop by again on my future visits to Victoria.

Coming by multiple times to refill our coffee and see if we needed anything! The coffee was the best I've had in years! I used to own a coffee shop so I'm kinda a coffee snob! The menu was very unique and diverse. Something for everyone! Instead of just an English muffin as a base for their eggs Benedict I had their Latkas! Perfection! And smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon. The fruit on the side was sweet, juicy and literally perfect! Thank you to the staff of a GREAT establishment! We even left a $25 tip just because it was such an amazing experience!!!!

After spending several days at a rejuvenating yoga retreat, the last thing my friend and I wanted…read morewas a heavy meal. Meat wasn't even on our radar--we were craving something fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor. After checking into our hotel, we headed out on a walk to explore Victoria. Well...our "little stroll" turned into quite the adventure and ended with us catching a ferry taxi back. And here I thought Las Vegas was the city of walking! Still in search of the perfect healthy dinner, we asked the front desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Be Love, mentioning its incredible vegan menu and abundance of gluten-free-friendly options. It sounded exactly like what we were looking for. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was bright, clean, welcoming, and had a fun, upbeat energy that made us feel right at home. We started with a couple of refreshing drinks and shared the mezze platter, which was the perfect way to ease into the meal with a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Then came the stacked tacos...and apparently our hunger had reached DEFCON 1 because I completely forgot to take a picture before we devoured them! If you've ever looked at your empty plate and thought, "Oops...I guess that was photo-worthy," you'll understand. Fortunately, I remembered dessert. We took home the chocolate caramel brownies and a protein cookie to enjoy later. The protein cookie was good, but those chocolate caramel brownies absolutely stole the show. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious--I would happily make a return trip just for those alone. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply someone who appreciates creative, flavorful food made with quality ingredients, Be Love is absolutely worth a visit. It was the perfect ending to a peaceful yoga retreat, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Victoria.

The smell of breakfast wafting from the restaurant grabbed my sniffer and led us to the front of the store to look at the menu. A Quick Look and we decided to give the pickle a go. Me and the boss decided on the Mexican omelet and a coffee. What a meal. Toast and crisp, delicious hash browns shared the plate with the main attraction, an enormous three egg omelet stuffed with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and onions topped with cheese and salsa sauce. The boss had me finish her omelet but by God I finished all mine too.... Thankfully we had a walk back to the hotel to work some of that big breakfast off. Prices are in line with every other place here in Victoria, however this is a local, husband and wife team that make awesome food and seem genuinely happy to be serving their brand of home cooking to the people. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in again when we return and try another menu item, wish we had found you sooner!

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.
