Bicho-bicho is the one we get asked about by name. It is a twisted donut, rolled in sugar, and at Friends & Family Bake it goes out fresh from the oven.

We think of it as a snack rather than a dessert. It is the thing you pick up on the way past, eat warm, and finish before you have got to the end of Fan Tan Alley.

Bicho-bicho — twisted donut, rolled in sugar. Fresh from the oven.

Where to find it

We are at Unit 101, 3 Fan Tan Alley, Victoria BC, along Pandora Avenue, and we are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM. We are closed Sundays and Mondays. If you want to check what came out of the oven before you make the trip, call us at (587) 439-1788.
