FIKA
“The only drawback is the relative lack of outlets, but that's I guess in line with the idea of a fika being a break, not a time to work.”
“Fika is a spacious, sleek, minimalist coffee shop with pops of color ranging from orange and green chairs to wired lights.”
“Then Rex moved in — a wonderful coffee spot with excellent food, drink and very little seating.”

We found this great Swedish coffee shop by accident, when the place I'd picked on Yelp was overly crowded. And what a great find this was! My Almond Croissant was delicious, and the coffee was even better. Downstairs seating is good, but upstairs is much larger, with both indoor & outdoor dining. The 2nd floor patio was a good size & has lots of seating. With ~17 locations in the city, I'm sure I will visit another FIKA soon!
Gotta love that sleek, minimalist design. If IKEA were a coffee shop and all that…
The tea selection here is a bit disappointing, but the place is great for relaxing and catching up with friends.
This FIKA is crazy fancy. The staff are not super nice, but it's a great place to get some work or reading done, and the coffee is top-notch as it always is. My single espresso was perfect.
Summary: Gorgeous space done in Swedish style. Slightly pricier, but worth being in a great environment. Healthy food options. A little cold on the A/C.
Atmosphere: If you just got back from Scandinavian travels and miss their sun loving minimalist style, this is your shop. The minimalist lines and cleanliness screams brightness. This is one of my happy places. As for seating, downstairs, upstairs and outdoor, to me all have their own vibe.
Service: Very pleasant folks at the front who smile and are efficient. Their process is slightly confusing. The register guy is the only guy that will take your order. Everyone else is dedicated to getting your drinks sorted. Then it all comes together at the register. You order, you pay, you get your drink they give you a number for your food and you are off to find a seat.
The Food & Coffee:
Coffee: They use great coffee. I don't know the name of it, (will update), but it will meet any coffee lover's need. They do have soy milk as an option. Just ask. While coffee is served in a mug, all other warm beverages are served in a coffee mug with saucer and the foam is beautifully placed on top. Portions aren't bad, though I do think they are slightly pricier than other spots. I'm cool to pay up though and I think if they were cheaper, you'd have too many people flooding into the space.
The food: The portions are a normal European size and they focus on using good ingredients. I really enjoyed the Swedish meatballs with potatoes gravy and lindenberry jam which you can also order for brunch.
Little note: In the bathroom, it's a little unclear how someone would dry their hands. Not sure if you were just out of paper towels. I wasn't the only one in my group to note confusion.
I've been to another FIKA location but I love this one because it's so spacious and has tons of seating. Boyfriend and I shared the coffee, spicy hot chocolate, scrambled egg breakfast "your way", princess cake, and semla. We wanted to try a little of everything and left the place in a complete food coma, haha. The pastries are amazing and aren't super sweet so are easy to overeat! The scrambled egg breakfast was delicious and has a good portion of everything (loved the sourdough bread). The spicy hot chocolate (made with Valrhona chocolate) had a nice kick to it without the spice being overpowering. It also wasn't super heavy or thick so was easy to drink and was a nice compliment to the meal instead of being a meal in and of itself. Coffee is on point, as always. It's a nice place to either grab something to go or to chill out and have a meal.
Compared to most of the coffee shop, it's spacious and bright with two floors and lots of seating. People working here are really nice. They even give me recommendations when I'm trying to pick jams. Btw, the jam is great! I bought blueberry and raspberry flavor. It indeed has blueberries in it. The citrus and whisky flavor is special and tasty too. Just everything is good and better than any other jams I have ever tried before. The coffee here is great, so order coffee instead of green tea latte.
This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! They have free wifi and gorgeous seating. The outdoor porch seating on the second floor looks like you are in a garden. I could easily wile away the day here.
I ordered the green tea latte ($4.59) and was extremely impressed! They used plenty of matcha powder so the latte had tons of flavor. The barista finished off the drink with an adorable lead design, which added to the experience. My only warning, however, is to order the sweetened latte. I generally do not like sweet drinks, so I got it unsweetened. The matcha powder tends to taste very grassy and bitter without any sweetening.
If you have LevelUp, make sure to use it here for $3.00 off your first purchase.
Although there's plenty of seating upstairs, there are not many outlets. So if you are using a laptop, it might be a good idea to charge it at home first.
Great spot to chillax! Quiet, serene, elegant, soothing playlists, spacious setting with 2nd floor and terrace seating. Hungry? Got sweet tooth? They have a good selection of healthy sandwiches/plates, bakeries and chocolates to keep you happy for the duration you're in there. I'm sold and will be visiting more FIKAs to come.
