Fika – Swedish Cafe & Bistro

If you’ve never tried Swedish dishes before – now you can! Newly opened & kitsch bistro, Fika is indeed a treat for your Wednesday.

Fika now has $15.90 lunch set meals! It includes a salad a choice of a main and coffee or tea…..Soup and drink add-ons deals are available too for an affordable price!

About Fika: Fika is a social institution in Sweden; it means having a coffee with one’s colleagues, friends, date, or family. The word has quite ambiguous connotations and can mean anything from taking a break from work or other activities, to going on a date. Swedes are among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world and this practice of taking a break for a coffee, typically with a cinnamon roll and/or some biscuits or cookies, or sometimes a smörgås on the side, is central to Swedish life.

Although the word may in itself imply “taking a break from work”, this is often emphasied using the word fikapaus (“fika pause”) or fikarast (“fika break”), with kaffepaus and kafferast, respectively, as near synonyms. The shorter word fika may equally well mean having coffee with a friend at a café or konditori (a “patisserie-based coffeehouse”).

A great place for your mid-week treats!
