FIKA Café

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.

If you are looking for a cafe experience in a museum this is the place. Its bright, airy and peaceful. The option for wine or coffee or Italian soda is inclusive for all in our party. The food was not only yummy but artistically plated and "just right" servings. The egg & harvarti was excellent. The swedish meatballs were soooo good. The vegan version of the butter salad was just right. We tried the rye & brioche breads. Yummy but didnt realize they came toasted with butter. The very best part of the lunch was the bread pudding. It is scrumptious. Like a warm, sweet hug while sitting in the sun on a cool day. Perfect. Got pastries to go & the thin ginger cookies (cant recall the Swedish word) are quite lovely. The only not 5 star was the coffee...bit too sour after taste. The service was p
