The menu leans into vegan comfort food — burgers, poutine, mac and cheese, fried chickun, all-day breakfast — alongside specialty pastries and espresso drinks made entirely in-house from scratch. Their famously oversized cinnamon buns and fresh-daily doughnuts have earned a strong local following, making it a worthwhile stop for plant-based touring cyclists passing through central Victoria.","source":"sonnet_4.6"},"website":{"value":"https://www.ferncafeandbakery.ca/","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":"1-1115 North Park Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1C7","source":"enrichment"},"phone":{"value":"+1 250 590 3376","source":"enrichment"},"email":{"value":"info@ferncafeandbakery.ca","source":"osm"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":"9 racks within 100m: rack (3 spaces) at 22m; rack (4 spaces) at 24m; rack (4 spaces) at 28m; stands (2 spaces) at 28m; rack (4 spaces) at 42m; wave at 47m; rack (4 spaces) at 77m; stands (8 spaces) at 96m; stands (8 spaces) at 100m.
