We sniffed into the air and promptly announced, "This place smells just like (the restaurant side of) IKEA!"
Service was pretty quick and prompt. Michelle ordered Kopparberg's Pear Cider ($6.50). Camy picked Honest Ice Tea - Black Forest Berry ($6.50). M picked Honest Ice FruitAde - Cranberry Lemonade ($6.50). One can always get a cup of Iced Water (refillable) for $0.50.
Michelle had the Aglio Olio ($13.90). It was enjoyed muchly and quickly, notably having the kick needed for the dish but isn't painfully spicy. The Aglio Olio at Fika is served plain and additional ingredients that goes into it will be charged.
Camy had Swedish Meatballs ($16.90) which came with cream sauce, lingonberry sauce and sides of half a potato and salad. The meatballs were more floury than those at IKEA, which I felt gave them a more homemade feel - contestable I realize but flour is necessary when you are making meat patties, no?M ordered the Swedish Hash ($17.90) which was a nice skillet of potatoes, beef & onions topped with a sunny side up. It was a pretty dish with a similar palette of taste to the meatballs, so be sure to order something else if you're going for a varied platter of tastes when sharing with friends.
We had the Lingonberry cheesecake ($7.50). Go for this if you're on for rich decadent cheesecake. I felt this had an interesting slightly powdery aftertaste, which I'm not too sure what to make of but I enjoyed it enough.We also ordered the Swedish Pancakes ($9.90) which was essentially crepes served with whipped cream, jam and vanilla. I felt this dish offered too milky a palette with both vanilla and whipped cream, but perhaps dairy fans might've enjoyed it better.
Make a reservation (a must!) and bring your best buddies along for a lazy weekend brunch.
我们在Fika 享受了一呈心灵之旅。
