Victory Coffee + Kitchen — Restaurant in Township of Langley

TLDR: restaurant looks nice and there's a lot of positive reviews, which is deceiving. Got an undercooked smash burger patty and the rest of the order (sides and drinks) was disappointing.

Read reviews of people saying that their smash burgers are really good, so I ordered online a double smash burger for pick up (which was a smooth process).

Upon arriving, it was full of customers and inside looked neat and clean which seemed promising for the food quality.

After I picked up my food and went back to the office to eat, after 1 bite of the burger, I noticed that one of the two patties were undercooked, while the other one was cooked fine. I ended up taking out the 1 undercooked patty (which costed an extra $4.50) and eating the rest.

According to their menu, their beef is ground from 1 supplier using 1 cut of beef (brisket), which should mean that the burger can be eaten "medium rare". However, for the uninitiated, it could be unsettling to look at.

Time to unleash the burger nerd within me: The fact that it is a smash burger and it still ended up undercooked means that they're using frozen ground beef or their grill isn't hot enough to cook the meat properly, which means there's no crust (maillard reaction) developing to make a delicious burger, defeating the purpose of doing a smash burger. This may show that Victory Coffee + Kitchen is just hopping on a food trend and poorly executing it.

The bun looked handmade, but was too thick (throwing off the ratio/proportions), their trinity sauce (burger sauce) didn't taste like much, pretty sure they used green leaf lettuce instead of butter leaf lettuce that was described in the menu.

Apart from the burger, the fries were soggy (I'll give them benefit of the doubt though since I got take out and the container steamed the fries up), side salad was all green leaf lettuce with 2 pieces of grape tomatoes, 2 small slices of cucumbers and a tasteless watery dressing, and the matchaccino (matcha/cappuccino) tasted bland, expensive ($5.25), and small portion (~6 oz).

Normally, I wouldn't leave a poor review, but the combination of reviews boasting about the burger and the undercooked burger patty I received set me off. I also saw another review with a photo of undercooked chicken from ~2 months ago, so I'm convinced that the kitchen did not improve within that time, has a lot of training and development to go through, and that the positive reviews are from family/friends.

Updated review: Changed from 2 stars to 1 star. I originally thought 2 was fair because the restaurant looks nice and the service was alright. In the end though, food is the most important factor to consider and I would give the food 0...

We are so incredibly grateful to the Victory Coffee + Kitchen Team who provided our breakfast and lunch on the morning of our wedding. If you're looking for a vendor who is not only professional and accommodating, but genuinely kind and generous, this is the one.

From the beginning, they were quick to respond and so easy to work with—willing to adjust the order and make things work for us without any stress or hesitation. That kind of flexibility and care meant so much on such a meaningful day.

But what truly set them apart were the thoughtful touches. Along with the delicious food, they included a card with our breakfast that we read while getting ready—it was such a heartfelt moment that brought real emotion to the start of the day. They also added complimentary coffees, which were not only incredibly kind but absolutely appreciated by everyone in the room.

The food itself was fresh, flavourful, and exactly what we needed—comforting, nourishing, and prepared with care.

And beyond their catering services, their actual café is just as special. It’s warm, welcoming, and full of heart—the kind of place you want to stop by regularly, whether you're grabbing coffee, enjoying a quiet meal, or just soaking up the inviting atmosphere. It’s clear that everything they do is driven by community and care.

If you're thinking about working with them for an event—or simply looking for your new favourite local spot—you won’t be disappointed. Their kindness, generosity, and attention to detail truly make them stand out....
