Loafe Café Alumni Centre Ubc

The only place worth getting coffee on campus! Seriously top-notch service, excellent coffee and the very best beer taps west of Main.

Last minute, we were looking for a venue for an event we were holding that had grown past capacity at another venue. The Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre put us in touch with Loafe Cafe. Liv and her team were the most personable and amicable people to work with. They went out of their way for us. Food was great too! Thanks from Hope for the Nations!

Really great coffee. Good amount seating space. Excellent if you want to grab a coffee and sit in the sun.

Located right beside the new AMS building, a independent owned business with the simple concept of local ingredients and house made items bring a HUGE lineup. I would be honest and say it's definitely a good standard here for ubc. The prices are fairly reasonable. They also use pallet coffee, which tastes surprisingly amazing. They have locally sourced artisan breads of many kinds, and yes folks, they have gluten free, and it's delicious. They also serve alcohol, beer and wine, that alot of students aren't aware of. It's nice to not have a sticky table at the pit drinking. I love the environment here, and best of all, their concept. Local, friendly, and memorable above all. I loved it so much I convinced my study group to order catering at times to de-stress.<br/ <br/ If you want another alternative from the delly, loafe is just as good. There is seating inside and out. If there isn't any seating, just grab to go, and head inside the AMS building. This place is definitely worth checking out.<br/

Went here on the weekend and it wasn't busy at all. Campus was pretty dead. I wanted the bulgolgi beef sandwich, but apparently they don't have that on the weekend. My other choices were the po boy or kogi chicken, which were both deep fried, so I went with the apple and brie. It ended up being an open face sandwich, but it was presented nicely. It had a nice salty arugula salad on top of the apple and brie cheese, which balanced out the sweetness. It was pretty good but I don't think it was worth the 10$. <br/ <br/ On my second visit, I got the bulgolgi sandwich and soup of the day. It was broccoli and potato. For a cup of soup, it is quite small but the soup was good. It came with crouton-like bread sticks. The sandwich was jam packed with beef and worth the price. It was kind of messy to eat but it was flavourful and filling. The only downside was having to wait awhile for my sandwich. It was really busy, but I think I waited a bit too long for my sandwich. <br/ <br/ Overall, the food is good, but it can be quite of a wait. And some of the pricing is a bit high for what you get, but this is campus food, so it's expected. I would probably go back though because everything tasted good. I just wouldn't go everyday.
