Ironworks Café & Crêperie is a Vancouver Island cafe chain founded in 2018 by owner Dina Stuehler, built around made-from-scratch Belgian-style crepes — both sweet and savoury — paired with locally-roasted Italian coffee. The cafe accommodates a wide range of dietary needs through gluten-free buckwheat and whole wheat vegan batters, with a vegetarian savoury crepe also on the menu. Current locations are in Duncan and Nanaimo, making it a well-regarded food stop for cyclists passing through either community.
