What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I had an exceptional experience at FIKA thanks to our server, Mel, who delivered some of the warmest and most attentive service I’ve had in a long time. Mel was fantastic, super friendly, on top of everything, and made me feel totally at home. Onto the food, I ordered soup of the day (I didn’t catch the name, but it had chicken, lentils, and maybe mushroom) and Mel described it perfectly. It was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The Swedish meatballs were classic and delicious, and the cardamom bread pudding was absolutely incredible, warm, fragrant, and the perfect touch of sweetness with the whipped cream. Mel’s service elevated the entire experience. Friendly, efficient, and thoughtful. I definitely would return if I'm back in Minneapolis. Highly recommend!"
"We just stopped in for pastries, not a full meal. We were asked to sit in an adjoining room that was bright white with spaced out tables and seats. It had its own water dispenser. The cinnamon bun and cardamom bun were fantastic--still warm, even! My husband had a coffee as well and said it was good."
"Stopped by for a coffee before our museum tour. Then afterwards wanted to grab some treats for my daughter in law in the hospital w baby in nicu! I did not catch the sales associates name, but he immediately knew I wanted the selections to be terrific… he even shared his preemie birth story and it was so sweet and encouraging! When I brought the box of treats to MHealth, and we opened to look at the tomte cookie and bun, somehow the treats multiplied and I was gifted some extra bakes for all of us in the nicu w baby! Thank you, Fika, for staff that listens and chose to surprise our day so sweetly."
"A small cafe at the American Swedish Institute. The food and service were great! Try the Swedish Coffee! The meatballs were scrumptious! The Cadamom Bread Pudding was to die for. A slice of Pumpkin Seed Bread was yummy as well."
"Wanted a taste of Scandinavia before I left Minneapolis and FIKA did not disappoint! They made sure to rush my order when they knew I had a flight to make — attentive and kind service in a beautiful setting. The attention to detail and freshness of the Skagen was beautiful, and although I’m not typically an espresso martini girl, this was the best I’ve ever had!"
"This has been my fav pastry shop for years-an awesome coworker lives close to this gem & would bring in treats from here! Thank you Abbey B! I love..."
