Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4
(604) 822-2211
Category:
Colleges & Universities
Neighbourhood: UBC
Great university with a lot of brilliant minds at work. Awesome active life, super easy to get involved in anything if you put yourself out there. The campus is indeed gorgeous during a sunny day. We've got:
-the Museum of Anthropology,
-a Rose…More »
2. #84-UBC
If the 99 B-Line gets love from Yelp, so should the #84. This bus can get you from VCC Clark Station to UBC in 30 minutes! It can't be beat! Plus, it stops at all the key places you could ever want to go along the way like Main St. @ Science World,…More »
3. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I have to deduct a star because the coffee is not so great.. I had a latte this afternoon and the espresso tastes like cigarettes. :-(
However, their cookies and muffins are still great! And the chocolate cupcakes are awesome too.

There is no way these cookies can be good for you, unless you're talking about your soul. These are… Read more »
4. Koerner's Pub
It is as good as it gets on campus!
I agree with Lauren N. that this is the best pub at UBC. I've had several meet ups here, and watched the U.S. Presidential elections here! I love the patio, weather permitting. The food is alright, not the best,…More »

Vancouver, BC V6T 2B9
(604) 224-2326
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: UBC
I am a fan. I do miss this coffee place. I miss living in Fairview Residence simply because I miss being around this coffee shop. The prices are reasonable. You can stay here all day comfortably studying and eat all your meals here. It's definitely…More »

Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1
(604) 822-2325
Categories:
Bagels,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: UBC
I went here for the first time in years today and their bagels are quite nice. I had the Soprano bagel melt on Italian Cheese bagel which consisted of salami, mozzarella, mushroom, peppers... and yummy goodness!
The bagel itself was soft, but…More »
7. Spanish Banks
I can imagine this place is gorgeous on a hot summer day! But it's also amazingly beautiful on a sunny (but somewhat chilly) autumn morning! And a lot quieter! It's an awesome place to go with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and take a walk with…More »
8. Pie R
I love pizza from here. It's never been bad to me. Except maybe on my hips. I love the fresh toppings, the creative flavours, and the crust. Yes it's a pretty thick end crust but I love it!
I think I even heard rumours of them starting a vegan…More »
9. Beaty Biodiversity Museum
Sweet whale skeleton! The whole building is fantastic. It was built to be a sustainable building with a natural meadow-like feel in the courtyard. Great place to enjoy lunch!
10. Red Burrito
I am a fan because I, unlike some others who seem to have tried this place, have lowered my standards for Canadian Mexican food. I thought it was well known that Vancouver's Mex/tex-mex food scene was sub par compared to those south of the border.…More »

Category:
Canadian (Traditional)

This is probably one of the best places to eat on the UBC campus since they make everything on site and the prices are pretty reasonable. Especially for not being a fast food, chain place. I often go here for lunch. Their sandwich specials are…More »
12. Cafe Perugia
Greater Vancouver A, BC V6T 1Z3
(604) 827-3291
Category:
Cafes
Neighbourhood: UBC
One of the better places for coffee on campus--at least it's not a Starbucks. It's a decent place for lunch also. They have a good selection of soups. And once i had a yummy eggplant panini. The staff is always really nice. And they're down to…More »
13. UBC Bookstore
Compared to any other university's bookstore that I've seen, UBC's bookstore is definitely one of the best. Now albeit, it's sometimes overprices (but which University Bookstore isn't?), but they have a great selection of gifts, backpacks, books…More »
14. UBC Farm
Thanks for bringing the UBC Farm to me! During the week, once a week in the summer, the UBC Farm sells farm fresh produce at the UBC Bookstore. Beware, it's cash only.
Too bad they don't have those elusive farm eggs.
15. Granville Island Produce On University
Vancouver, BC V6T 2H9
(604) 677-3388
Neighbourhood: UBC
Good place to get groceries in a quick fix on campus, when your options are slim. It's definitely not a Save-On, but it's easier access if you're on the North side of campus. And on the plus side, you're supporting a small business. I like the…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

The coffee is good. I'm judging it based on my vanilla latte's. It's always made to perfection. The bean's not over-roasted. The sweetness level is perfect. And there's usually a pretty design in my drink! The atmosphere is nice for meeting a friend…More »

I'm sure I will have a chance to come here several times, so my review may be amended.
A new addition to UBC Food Service, Point Grill is kicking off with a bang. Their up-scale menu (for UBC Food Service standards) sounds great on paper. And in…More »

Karaoke Tuesdays are hilarious! The place to be if you wanna be in a room full of a bunch of drunken 18 -25 year old singing out of tune! So much fun!
The pitchers of Molson Canadian are now $9.50 though.

19. Pearl Fever Tea House
I can't believe I never wrote a review of this place earlier! I would say this is the best places on campus to get your bubble tea fix. They use fresh fruits in their slushies and their pearls are always of good consistency. Plus, they sell…More »
20. Little Tea House
They have decent bubble tea and use fresh fruit in their slushes. Why I'm a major fan though is because last week I really wanted a pineapple green tea with pearls. But they don't have pineapple syrup as the other places I went to do. So she…More »
21. Little Tea Shop
Vancouver, BC V6T
(604) 222-8822
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: UBC
This location has larger bubble tea cups than the other locations around Vancouver. And the prices are less than other bubble tea places in general.
The pearls are always perfectly sweet and not too hard, not too soft. The strawberry slushes are…More »
22. Salt Spring Coffee Co. - CLOSED
Mmmmmmm fair trade, organic coffee on campus! I like the ambience. Sometimes they have great muffins, foods, desserts. The only qualm is that they are a bit spendy for coffee daily. However, it's the price you pay these days for sustainable, ethical…More »
23. Leona Mediterranean
I got a chicken shawarma platter and it was quite tasty! They put enough sauce and even more when I asked for it. Everything was hot. One plate is enough for 2 lunches, really. It's a pretty good deal: $6.50 for a huge lunch! The only complaint I…More »

This place is a nice little boutique store located on the UBC Campus that is good for getting nice gifts for someone, or an interesting, and fashionable hand bag for your self. They have cool cards and wrapping paper, as well as designer glassware.…More »

For campus, this is probably the nicest place you can take a visitor or something. The food is alright. If it were off campus I might give it 3.5 stars. The view is amazing and the restaurant itself has a very calming environment (not spa-like…More »
26. Save On Foods
OMG A grocery store on Campus!!!!!!! I have waited 7 years for this!
The downer--It's still expensive. :( What's more expensive--Save on foods or Safeway? How does it compare in price to the small grocery stores located in the village (i.e.…More »
27. Swirls Bakeshop
I love Swirls Bakeshop! You can usually find their products around holiday around UBC Food Service outlets. But they have amazing sugar cookies, especially the ones dipped in white and dark chocolate!
28. One More Sushi
This place has pretty good california rolls. They started to get a little creative and made mango rolls and blue cheese teriyaki chicken rolls. I don't know if Bleu Cheese really belongs in sushi. But nice efforts anyway. The prices are decent and…More »
29. UBC Blueberry Festival
Good price for fresh blueberries, but I know where I can find them cheaper around town--locally grown, fresh berries.
The baked goods were sold out by the time I got there this year. But last year the parfait was delicious! However, it's nothing I…More »
30. Mahony & Sons
I've been here on a few occasions over the last 3 years or so. The food is okay. It's pretty standard, a little more fancy than pub fare, type food. It's kind of like the menu at Ceili's but more extensive I think. It's not mind-blowing by any…More »
31. 99 B-Line
Yes, this bus is a fast route through broadway to UBC from the skytrain. But why do I always try to avoid it when I can? Maybe it's because every time I go on I always run into the most annoying people or sketchy. People who yell when they talk…More »

I think this place is actually more a 2.5 based on my experience but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and giving it 3.

Finally the elusive "UBC Athletics and Recreation" fee that we pay every year in our tuition is being reflected in services. The prices for registering for intramurals have gone down (a student team for Day of the Longboat used to be $160, now it's…More »
34. Pit Pub
I have to bump this up a star because I've been here several times for drinks with colleagues and my supervisor and it's decent. The biggest deal is the Nachos! $8 for a big plate of nachos with all the fixins on a tortilla plate! Amazing deal!…More »

This place would have been A-OK, but I was really disappointed that my donair wrap fell apart and made a huge mess all over my hands. I didn't even have a plate or fork to rest it on. The flavours were all right. I've had better ones downtown, but…More »
36. The Pit Burger Bar
I ordered a mushroom burger today at lunch because it was on special. Now the specials display sign showed a nice juicy burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. I assumed it was a regular burger with mushrooms. Eh.. all it was was a burger patty…More »

Had a blueberry slush with pearls. Apparently that = a blueberry slurpee with pearls. No real blueberry bits in it and the consistency was exactly like a 7/11 slurpee.
I would have gone to Pearl Fever but I walked in and saw groups of elementary…More »
