Perfect poutine

Je voulais absolument goûter une poutine ! Même si nous étions à Victoria et non à Quebec...
Chose faite !
Délicieuse même à 10h du matin 🥰
Les bretzels sont excellents aussi !
Une vraie petite pépite que nous garderons en tête lorsque nous reviendrons à Victoria.

Pros: La poutine, Le service , Les bretzels

To die for

Not even lying when I say that the big bad breakfast sandwich is the best thing I’ve eaten maybe all year. My friends were telling me to stop talking because I wouldn’t shut up about how amazing it was with every bite. Everything we got was delicious. I also think the iced chai latte might be the best one I’ve had too. If I was local, I’d eat here everyday. This place goes hard af. In love.

Loved this all vegan bakery !!

First time eating at this little gem of a bakery ! I had the breakfast scramble with the traditional tofu and chorizo ! Very flavorful with a hint of spice 😀 Topped it off with a delicious mocha .. my favorite go to coffee beverage ! The vibe was low key and the service very friendly and welcoming ! Will definitely visit again ! Also , kudos to the ginger molasses cookie 😋😋

Pros: Variety of choices , Service friendly and fast, Quality food !

Amazing baked goods

Haven’t had a Boston cream since maybe 2010. Immediately had to try the vegan version and it was insane. I’m gunna be dreaming about it.

Cinnamon bun pizza pretzel bun was also amazing.

Good stuff!

Friendly and patient staff. Great food. I haven’t had a doughnut since going vegan - how nostalgic it was to try a vegan version!

My favourite place ever

From the food to the staff to the atmosphere, the whole experience at Fern Cafe is excellent. Cosy indoor seat and super cute outdoor seating in a cute neighbourhood. Different selections everyday of amazing baked goods and pastries and just a stellar menu of food. They had a breakfast sandwich special on when we were there that was incredible so I highly recommend following them on social media to keep up with what they’re up to.

Finally vegan cheese curds

My only complaint is needed more cheese curds on the poutine. The scrambler was also very good. The baked goods looked delicious. And outdoor seating, what more could you want??

Fabulous little find

Visited after finding this place on Happy Cow whilst on holiday on Vancouver Island. Myself and hubby had the Big Bad Breakfast Sandwich and our daughter had the pancakes. Both extremely delicious, with lovely delicate flavours. Would definitely visit again if we found ourselves in the area again.

Pros: Food, Decor , Ethos

I wish I could eat here every day

This place was so good we ate here both mornings we were in Victoria. The fried Chick'n was great, the pancakes got rave reviews, and I had the breakfast sandwich both mornings because it was so perfect. The cinnamon bun was just okay, but the rhubarb maple scone was fluffy and delicious. I wish I could have tried everything they made - highly recommend!

Pros: Excellent food, Nice vibe, Friendly staff

Favorite vegan food in Vancouver

We ordered a breakfast sandwich with has browns and a donut, both really good. So glad we went there! The only thing we didn't like so much were the hasbrowns, they were dry and it was more normal potatoes than hash browns.

Outstanding place

Great place. They make everything from scratch. We shared a western scramble and a bbq jackfruit scramble. Both were good. We will be back to try out other options.

Pros: All vegan options, Huge cinnamon rolls , Parking around corner

SO GOOD.

Café with fab all day breakfast and humongous pastries.

I had the pancake stack with fried chickun. The perfect kind of dish for a breakfast place that is simple and delicious but so hard to find vegan. It was so tasty and a fantastically oversized portion.

My travel buddy had a west coast tofu scrambler which had a great salsa and delicious potatoes with it.

The pastries looked great but we were too full to take more. Had a very nice drip coffee too.

EDIT: We went back and had a chickun burger and the mac and cheese. They were delicious, although the sauce on the mac could have been a little thicker to my tastes. Also got two great cookies which we enjoyed very much.

Pros: Tasty and huge portions , Stuff that is hard to find elsewhere (IMO), Great animal painting on the wall

Cons: Portions arguably too big

The best vegan comfort food!

So many great options! We got the chicken and pancakes which was enough for two people! We had sooo much leftovers! The bakery pastries are amazing too! The earl grey donut and cinnamon rolls are too good!! Great coffee too!

Pros: Lots of options, Delicious food and flavor, Not average diner food, better!

Cons: Further from downtown

Thrilled to find!

This vegan bakery and cafe is the best! Pastries and cookies of excellent quality and just a treat to eat! Breakfast and lunch items all worth the trip and made us wish for more. Friendly staff fun to chat with, so helpful and quick to laugh. We will be back! We tried the rhubarb scone, perfect, and side of ChikUn, crispy goodness, with excellent matcha lattes. On our return trip a few days later we enjoyed their cheezburger and fries. So good! And a s’more cookie to go. These folks know how to cook! Everything original and delish!

Big desserts

Fern is the only fully Ⓥ game in town. I’m thankful it’s there. Fern has HUGE desserts. Not the place for gluten-free Ⓥ. Basic meal recipes without any frills (yet still kinda pricey). Staff was super cool.

Pros: Cool staff, Only fully Ⓥ game in town, Humongous desserts

Cons: Basic food, Pricey for quality , Not GF-friendly

Lovely gem outside of city centre

Good little breakfast/lunch place. The staff all seem very happy to work here and are very friendly. Probably more for takeout than dining-in because the seating inside is limited (though there is some outside seating for warmer months). Mostly comfort food (burgers/poutine) and also a changing range of doughnuts/cookies/etc. I like the tofu scramble personally (I see other reviewers have not).

Pros: Friendly staff, Fun treats

Cons: Closes relatively early, Limited inside seating
