One counter, two reputations

Famous for brunch. Loved for the Indian food.

Only U is a family-run campus spot known for its all-day brunch — and, just as much, for some of the most authentic Indian street food on the west side. Regulars come for the eggs benny and stay for the butter chicken. Order whichever you're craving.

The Diner

Brunch, done properly

Cooked to order, served all day, exactly how a campus classic should be.

  • Eggs benedict, eight ways
  • Build-your-own omelettes & frittatas
  • Buttermilk pancakes & French toast
  • Gourmet burgers & hot sandwiches
★ House Specialty

Authentic Indian street food

Made-fresh dishes regulars call the best Indian food in the city — don't leave campus without trying them. Ask about today's specials.

  • Butter chicken, white korma & lamb curry
  • Malai matar paneer & chole
  • Pav bhaji, vada pav & samosa chaat
  • Elaichi chai, filter coffee & mango lassi

Same kitchen. Same counter. Order an egg benny and a mango lassi if you want — nobody's stopping you.

About Only U

Good food. Good people. Right on campus.

For years, Only U Cafe has fed the UBC community from its corner of the Old Marketplace in UBC Village — students between classes, faculty on a break, neighbours who've been coming for a decade. Generous portions, fair prices, and a kitchen that's always happy to customize. Come as you are.

Convinced they're the best spot on campus — best eggs benedict, and I clean my plate every time.

The best Indian food I've had outside India. Authentic flavours, great veg options, consistently brilliant.

Best brunch in UBC. Family run, the service is incredible, and the menu is huge — something for everyone.
