The best place on ubc campus. Fresh food and great breakfast.

A great little spot on campus. I love their veggie burger and their onion rings. They have lots of healthy options as well, and quite a few desserts for when you have a craving for something sweet. Food is fast and made on the spot. Never a huge wait, even at peak times. It's basically fast food with a more relaxed approach.

Never been disappointed here, somewhat expensive but the food is solid! Clean and bright atmosphere with helpful staff, it is a great place for a little lunch date!

A handy solution for on-campus brunch cravings. Only U Cafe has a wide selection of dishes suitable for breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is pretty bland and the tables are usually dirty or sticky, but the quality of the food usually trumps any minor concerns.
However, the food is not always perfect. The primary breakfast items have been quite good historically, with large portions and good ingredients. However, the lunch was a bit more sketchy. The chili my girlfriend ordered was a bit light on chunks of veggies or meat, and the salad I ordered had about 5 bugs in there as a result of less-than-washed lettuce. Thus, I would recommend you stick to the breakfast items and you should enjoy the overall experience.
If you want to find a decent breakfast place in the Village without resorting to McDonald's, then this is the best bet. As long as you can deal with slightly inflated prices, then you will likely find this place can satisfy your cravings. -

Only U is a brunch/cofffee/sandwich place at the back of the UBC Village. It's my office's go-to sandwich spot on campus.
The warm sandwiches are nicely done -- I appreciate that they'll do a Monte Cristo (mmm). The soup & sandwich special is usually a good deal; if it's the Montreal smoked meat sandwich, definitely go for it. Try the potato soup. Served in styrofoam to go with a carrot for garnish? Sounds like lunch to me.
I tried to place a call-ahead order once, though, and the phone was busy for five minutes straight. When I got there, it looked like one of the owners was just chatting with someone on the line. Professional, guys!
They also do brunch all day, so if you're hankering for a pancake around 3 in the afternoon they'll do ya. I haven't tried the coffee yet... guessing it's not really the point, here. -

Not the most enthusiastic staff here. Food is pretty good, though.

I will never, ever come back to this cafe. Though the food is fine, nothing great but certainly edible, the people in charge of this place do not understand what "customer service" means. The service here is absolutely terrible. I order a sandwich, the incompetent women working at the cash register got my order wrong, and when I returned the food to complain, the manager refused to make me another sandwich because I had eaten one bite. She was incredibly rude and accusatory. She then brought out a receipt and argued that I had made the mistake, instead of admitting that her worker did not listen to my order. I have never had someone in a food establishment give me so much attitude. I will never spend my money here again and I have told many people to do the same. These people do not deserve your money. If you want tasty food, go to the delly in the sub. Its delicious and without the attitude.

Bought a cookie here wants. The place looks cozy and popular but their cookies aren't good. I never tried sticking around for anything else. I usually judge a coffee shop by their baked goods, but that might be because I'm a little crazy.

I've only ever had lunch here, but the food is pretty good. I'd say if you go for the burgers or the fish and chips, it will be below your expectations. However, one of my favorite lunches on campus is to get the ham and cheese panini. It's around $6 and comes with some veggies sticks and you can add a salad for a buck or two. The sandwich is delicious with a bit of spice. I haven't tried enough to say for sure but it seems like they have a wide menu that they do alright, and a few things that they do very well. Worth checking out!
