Unit 101, 3 Fan Tan Alley. Look for the sandwich board.

Kinda lost every time? You don't have to worry anymore — the shop's own words. Here is everything you need to find the door, and every way to reach the team behind it.

Where to go

Unit 101, 3 Fan Tan Alley
Chinatown, Downtown Victoria
British Columbia, V8W 1W3

Fan Tan Alley runs off Pandora Avenue — it's the narrowest commercial street in Canada, so the entrance is easy to walk past.

Landmarks to aim for

  • Government–Pandora bus stop, routes 14, 15, 24 and 25
  • Near across from F45
  • In front of Pure Loving Chocolate, inside Fan Tan Alley

These are the three landmarks the bakery gives out itself when people can't find the door.

Availability changes through the day as trays come out of the oven, so calling first is the surest way to know what's on the shelf.

The Friends & Family Bake sign hanging from the brick corner of the building, with a yellow-framed chalkboard on the sidewalk reading 'Friends & Family Bake, Now Open, come visit us' and an arrow pointing into the alley

This is what you're looking for.

A hanging wooden sign with the chef's-hat logo above the corner, and a hand-lettered yellow sandwich board on the pavement with an arrow pointing the way in. Above the door itself: Together We Can "Bake" this World a Better Place.
