Union Pacific Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Victoria

Local coffee shop vibes in the best way, somewhat hidden in the narrow brick alleys of Chinatown. Searching for a coffee to start my (one) day in Victoria brought me here since it's one of the first places that pops up when you search for coffee in the area.

I was initially a little let down because when I didn't see the abundance of baked goods in person as I saw in some photos. But I guess that's because it was early afternoon, not the morning when I visited. I decided to just go with the drip coffee since there was a combo that came with their version of a bacon McMuffin (but much better). There were two options for the coffee and I went with the dark roast and for drip it was pretty good. The sandwich was bacon, egg, and cheese on an English Muffin. Very basic, but executed well and very hot. I also had the Cheddar & Onion scone which I asked them to warm up. I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems like baked goods around here are commonly served room temp. The scone was ok, had more onion than cheese flavor.

Searching for the place was a little fun since you had to walk through the narrow brick alley to make your way there. Google Maps points you right way, so don't think you're lost when you are going through the narrow alleys. It's quite a spacious place with several communal tables as well as regular sized tables. There is also a good amount of patio seating. It's very cozy with its warm and brick interior.

I could see this place being frequented by both locals and tourists. The staff was nice and they even brought the sandwich to my table. I could see myself coming back here when I'm back in Victoria. Hopefully, when I do I can catch them at a time when there are many baked...

Union Pacific Coffee is a fantastic spot for a fresh, delicious meal and a great cup of coffee! The wrap I ordered was packed with crisp, vibrant veggies and wrapped perfectly with a slight grill mark for added texture. The presentation was simple yet thoughtful, with a fresh orange slice on the side—such a nice touch!

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with rustic wooden tables that add to the cozy vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. My drink was served in a sturdy to-go cup, making it perfect for a relaxed dine-in experience or a grab-and-go option.
