This little restaurant is a gem! Friendly staff and OMG amazing food! Bonus for those with smaller appetites, they charge exactly half the price for a half order! I've never been offered this! I had the stuffed French toast....cream cheese filling topped with a blueberry compote. Sooo good! Highly recommend! read more

This cafe, with both food & espresso and, is named after the Swedish custom of the afternoon coffee break. The dining area is spacious with many windows. Behind it are a few dedicated parking spaces that easily fill up. But street parking is available. The coffee was agreeable. And the chai is well flavored albeit on the sweeter side. read more

Fika is our favorite brunch place~ Can't go wrong with GF/V food! Honestly, anything on menu is delicious and the vibes are great here. My ultimate favorite is the chicken and waffles with a matcha latte. We've had several of their other dishes, salads, sandwiches and they are good too! They also do a theme night and it was so fun to go for the SpongeBob night! Had the fish and fries :) read more

Fika is a great breakfast spot! Their pancakes and French toast are so good, and I really enjoy their coffee, matcha, and specialty drinks too. One of the best things about Fika is that everything is gluten-free and dairy-free. It's so nice being able to go somewhere and choose anything on the menu without feeling limited or having to make a bunch of substitutions. Everything I tried was delicious, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Latte I just wanted to try everything as you can see, this was only for two people, can you imagine. Everything was delicious and it's such a cute place. Definitely recommend to all. read more

I have never been here, so was excited to try it. First of all, they were out of a lot of things. I ordered toast with jam and was told they were out of jam after she brought it to my table. I would not have ordered it. They were also out of raisin bread and waffles. The toast was weirdly toasted only on the top, like a bagel. The coffee was not good. Tasted like instant coffee. The sausage was mushy; I wouldn't even call it a patty. The maple syrup tastes watered down. The only good thing was the tater tots. The serving of those is HUGE. Very disappointed. I was expecting more of this place. read more

Did you know there is a new plant based and gluten free friendly spot in Grand Rapids? Creston area is gorgeous and a great location for this new restaurant! Love the white and blue accents of color and the wicker lighting and the entire space as a whole. Each menu item sounded really delicious but we went with the breakfast sando and the biscuits and gravy. Both surprisingly good for being vegan and gluten free! The coffee was also very delicious! Everything we ate left us feeling satisfied and didn't hurt our stomachs! Can't wait to tell some vegan and gluten free friends to check this place out! They also have a small market inside where you can purchase more food items and merch. 100% take a chance on this place and try their food! Each member behind the counter I talked to was very kind and sweet too! read more

I will definitely be running back to Grand Rapids to try out this delicious plant based vegan location. The food was absolutely delicious me and my best friend cleared our plates rapidly. The service was so friendly welcoming and accommodating and the seating areas were beautiful and neatly clean. As far as parking let's be honest it's Grand Rapids and it's few and far between however I really do appreciate the parking on the side streets and the main streets. There was also a little shop that sold like grocery and vegan friendly items. I highly suggest if you're vegan or plant-based or driving families check out this location. read more

Fika - Vegan Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I come here for the coffee, and stay for the food. Fika makes gluten free and vegan food accessible AND yummy! This place is adorable with a market attached to grab some GF goodies for home as well. The owners are some of the kindest people, and have done some awesome things in the Creston community. Thanks for giving Creston a boost! read more

I have been to Fika a couple of times now. They're hash brown potatoes are yummy but I prefer to go just for their coffee rather than breakfast. The interior of the place is very nicely decorated and I really like the little market area they have. I keep going back for their yummy and unique coffee. It's very easy to park in the Creston area which is nice. There's almost always a street parking spot available! read more

I've been a big fan of Squibb and Rise so I was excited to learn they were opening a new concept - Fika, a vegan and gluten-free cafe/market. Fika is the Swedish practice of taking a coffee break. The space is quite a bit bigger than I was expecting, which is great because Rise is so tiny. The blue and white decor is very pretty and inviting, and there is a lot of natural light. The menu includes sweet and savory breakfast items, as well as salads, smoothies, and a kids menu. I ordered a miso caramel cappuccino and the breakfast sandwich with chickpea sausage, and Nate got the blueberry short stack latte and French toast. We browsed the cute market area while we waited - they have locally made items, snacks, cookbooks, a drink cooler, and flowers from Good Good Good. The seating was comfortable and I could see myself stopping by for a little remote working as they have wifi. Our food took a little bit of time to come out, but everything was hot and fresh. The sandwich was hefty and very tasty. I liked the flavor of the chickpea sausage, and I really couldn't tell that the egg and cheese were vegan. The cappuccino was delicious. I had some of the French toast, which was also really good, not too sweet or dry. The tots were fantastic - perfectly salty, and super crispy. They have some outdoor tables on the sidewalk, and street parking on Plainfield is free before 8 am. Welcome to the area, Fika! read more

I've been so excited for the grand opening of Fika!! Rise is one of my all time favorite bakeries and places in the city. I knew that Nick and Becca would absolutely knock it out of the park and they did! Fika is the cutest little new breakfast/brunch/drink spot. With ample street parking, it's an easy 7am stop for me for the foreseeable future. I really love the interior, as it follows the beautiful design of local artist Kailey (Bailey) Sullivan, creating a fun, inviting, and chic atmosphere. The market area is one of my favorite parts. It's often a struggle to find gluten free, vegan, or other foods, but to have them in one place? Incredible! I think the addition of local artists and makers to the table is even better. The market really makes Fika feel like a futuristic, upscale gas station (or at least what id want them to be) where you can grab a quick, healthy snack and gift on your way out for a road trip. For those dining in, the seating area is decently spacious and really roomy, with great views to the outside. The staff was incredibly friendly and was actively making sure that guests had everything they wanted/needed. I'm most looking forward to trying the acai bowls and becoming a regular! read more

Wow, what an awesome shop! The space is giant and gorgeous and versatile. People were enjoying breakfast together, sitting alone on their laptops, reading books, really the whole 9 yards. It's rare to find a breakfast joint that can serve all three of these niches well, which is what most excites me about Fika. Service was excellent and the staff is friendly and kind. This combined with Fika's great selection of plant based food and drinks will inevitably cement this joint as a Creston staple. They also have a super cute market in the back of the shop which is littered with gorgeously minimalist plant based products. Also - whoever branded/designed Fika really hit it out of the park. I know Yelp is a food review app but as a designer I just have to shoutout the incredible craft that went into the space's look and feel. My only (and I mean ONLY, this place rocks otherwise) gripe is the price. I myself am not vegan/plant based, and while the food was indeed really good, it was also really expensive. Like, when I saw biscuits and gravy on the menu for 18 dollars, I felt my soul leaving my body and heading towards New Beginnings where the B&G is $7.90. I understand that plant based/gluten free ingredients are more expensive and it's tough to open a new restaurant in 2025, but if the price disparity is THAT apparent between meat and plant based products, then it's gonna be really tough to attract non-vegan dining customers. All-in-all, I really like this spot. Fika will almost certainly succeed due to its unique and delicious plant-based/gluten-free menu and its flexible, gorgeous dining space. There are indeed people out there who are happy to pay $15 for a grilled cheese; I myself am not one of them, yet I applaud Fika for providing an excellent dining experience to those who are. read more

While I was in town, I made a priority to stop by Fika for some brunch and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere there is very welcoming and casual, and the employees were so friendly. You seat yourself and order your meal up at the register. They will bring it out to you. Bus your table when you're done. All vegan, which is so nice. The Chicken and Waffles was the star of the show but the Tot and Sausage Hash was truly delightful, and I really enjoyed the vegan goat cheese. I look forward to visiting again! read more

Hello Lovlies! Long time no review! So...just want to say that Fika is such a spectacular place with amazing service. The food is so well made and you can feel the love and intention behind the cooks and the service. The ambience is chill and warm. A place where you come alone to study (they got wifi), to hanging out with a friend, a cute date spot, or even meeting up with a big group of friends. The food being plant based and gluten free...was fantastic. Our favorite was the Chick'n and waffles (that we tried so far), the breading was not over baring and the waffles were light fluffy and vanilly. Everything on the menu looks so good, definitely coming back to try more of their menu. From sandwiches, salads, tacos, tots, to beautiful yummy lattes and coffees. Thank you Fika for the experience, you truly did embody the definition of Fika. (Also, they have a cute station to drop of your dishes and cups when you guys are done! Next to their bathroom) read more

how exciting to have an all vegan restaurant here in grand rapids. i feel like i should preface my review with the admission that i am not gluten free. so take my review of these bread items with a grain of salt. on our first trip, we decided to share the chicken and waffles and biscuits and gravy. chicken and waffles: the breading on the chicken (tofu) was pretty tough to cut through which i was okay with but my partner found it off putting. I enjoyed the flavor and the breading myself. the spicy maple syrup was not spicy at all in my opinion. it also came with a side of butter that unfortunately tasted like coconut (a vegan's worst nightmare). there are so many amazing butter alternatives on the market that taste like butter and not coconut. i thought the waffles were a nice texture even sans gluten. overall i did like the dish though. can't beat salty "chicken" and sweet syrup. biscuits and gravy: the gravy was flavorful but not reminiscent of a breakfast gravy. the biscuit reminded me of cornbread instead of a biscuit. that being said, i thought the dish was delicious but i wouldn't think of it as a traditional breakfast biscuits and gravy. on our second trip we got the hot chicken sando and the quinoa spinach and apple salad. hot chicken sando: the bread this was on was good! i wish there was more ranch or some mayo to balance of the acidity of the hot sauce and pickles. my partner really enjoyed the sandwich overall. the tater tot's on the side were crispy and hot. quinoa spinach and apple salad: it's rare for me to love a salad but wow i loved this salad. i'd say this is my favorite of the 4 items we tried. the balsamic dressing was balanced. the goat cheese, though it had a slight coconut flavor, was delicious. the apples added a needed crispness and the crispy quinoa and candied pecans provided the needed crunch. service was fast even though it seemed busy when we went. the little market and coffee bar are cute. read more

Fika feels like home. Fika feels like revolution. I cannot wait to return and I only wish I lived in the same neighborhood because Fika feels like community. I visited midway to Wisconsin, and I wanted to stay longer and take in all the conversations, aroma, and energy. I first visited the small shop, grabbing a couple vegan snacks for my roadtrip, and getting a snicker at the cheeky goods. Then I bopped over to the cash wrap to order. The staff were delightfully friendly, warm, and helped me navigate the menu. I decided on a breakfast Sammy and a hash/scramble for later. Can I just say- the home fries served with the scramble were absolutely otherworldly. Seasoned to perfection, perfectly crunchy, fatty but not at all greasy. Dream potatoes. The tots that came with the breakfast Sammy weren't any ordinary tots either. Also seasoned in house and a wonderful little treat while I plotted my route for my remaining journey. The sandwich was a marinated tempeh, sweet and savory and a little sticky, coupled with a melty cheese, egg sub and gf English muffin. Did I mention Rise bakery?!!?! What a match up. The scramble was an excellent meal once I'd made it to Wisconsin as it warmed up nicely and the house made jam topped off my meal. Sweet, rustic, and oh so delicious. To complete my purchase I had a matcha latte, lightly sweetened with house made simple syrup. I will most certainly be back. Frankly, I may not leave when I do return. read more

OMG, I am so glad my boyfriend found this little gem. From the time we entered the vibe was amazing. The staff was so helpful and friendly. I have been vegan for 10+ years and am huge on not using plastic. This reastraunt did not have any plastic. And the food was absolutely delicious. The even cooler thing was in the gender nuteral toilets was free pads and tampons, literature on all kinds of stuff, an opioid o.d kit, and more. The little market had some great vegan selections and on the way out was a section to leave it take food. The only negative (and it is a me thing) they cook their tofu in the same fryer oil as other fried food and I have a soy allergy. I will DEFINITELY go back. read more

Fika - Part of the dining room - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Welcoming and laid-back atmosphere, great friendly service, and unique offerings from the all gluten-free menu. I had the tater tot bowl with kale, peppers (hot! not for the timid; I think Calabrian), vegan 'sausage' crumbles, toast with cinnamin butter and avocado, and a big mug of fresh coffee. Divine. It was awesome for the three of us to share between plates with no qualms because *everything* was GF. We will return for more. Highly recommended. read more

This place has amazing vegan food and outstanding teas. Kind folks, good vibes, community gathering spot. Friendly helpful service and a tiny shop too! The avocado toast is definitely the best I've ever had, and I drove 15m out of my way to go back and have it again. read more

I came here around 9:30am on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. It was easy to get a table for 3; you order at the counter and seat yourself. By 11:30, there was a long line and it would be tough to get a table. It is fresh and clean on the inside, with a good amount of seating space for groups of 2-6 people ideally. We all ordered different types of specialty iced lattes; I got a strawberry oat milk latte with a cream cheese cold foam. The cold foam left something to be desired, but the latte itself was delicious with just a hint of strawberry. I really enjoyed the Tot + Sausage hash -- tater tots were nice and crispy, the chickpea sausage was cooked well and had nice flavor, although may a little too crumbly, and the vegan goat cheese was SO good. My friends got the vegan BLT with tempeh bacon (which tasted better than I expected, although I would've personally preferred a little bit more of the tempeh bacon than what it came with to balance out the lettuce, tomato, and bread) and the tofu scramble, which came with a generous portion of tofu eggs. We also shared a cardamom cinnamon roll which was really yummy, chewy, and had a nice spice flavor to it. It is fairly pricey (breakfast dishes are mostly all in the $17-19 range, lattes are $5-7), so I don't think I would come here regularly, but it's a nice, unique treat, and I'm glad I was able to try it. read more

The prices for portions is ridiculous and the taste was ok nothing special. I would not recommend my whole experience was disappointing

It's soo good to have an all vegan restaurant in gr. My family is all vegan and gluten free so obviously we've been 3 times in a month. The coffee is delicious and the drink specials are awesome. I've gotten the hot chick'n sando, the chick'n and waffles, and the tater tot hash and all were delicious. Additionally, the house salad that came with the sando was pretty generously portioned so yay. The whole vibes of the place are really nice and the staff is friendly. I appreciate the updating menu and featuring specials. I definitely want to try everything. read more

Food is flavorful and unique, so many options to choose from. I never go away hungry.

Drinks have all been 10/10. The berries & cream latte was to die for. The cherry pie matcha also to die for. Staff is incredibly nice

I really enjoyed the open and relaxed energy of the cafe. Lots of seating which is convenient for meeting up with friends or studying. The market was a fun section to browse. I always enjoy Squibb coffee so my vanilla cortado was delicious and smooth as expected. My roommate got the mango drink special and that was our favorite. So refreshing for the killer heat. The sausage patties and French toast were good but like all restaurants right now prices are a bit steep. Would come back again! read more

This was my first time at Fika. And my first review ever... which says a lot that my experience here is what made me want to make a Yelp account! Haha. First of all, I was greeted warmly as soon as I walked in. At 9am. This is rare. Customer service and cleanliness was spot on. The cashier gave great recommendations. I ordered Belgian waffles and an iced maple miel. Both were fantastic and made my tummy feel great afterward. I love the aesthetic with the blues, whites, and browns. The seats could be a bit more comfy, but my overall experience trumped this aspect. Music wasn't too loud and the perfect vibe. If you need a place to work, to catch up with a friend, or stop by for a clean and locally sourced breakfast or lunch, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Location is great too. 10/10 will recommend to folks! read more

Food was amazing and for me being someone that doesn't like tofu that much I had the hot chicken sandwich and it was phenomenal. They have a very positive environment inside the place. The service was ok but then again they are basically brand new so I'm not going to complain they might still be getting into the rhythm of things. read more

Horrible experience. Food taste like metal, expensive, waited 30 minutes to get my coffee, ended up canceling my coffee because we finished breakfast before I got my coffee. Total congestion at the one register you have to order from. Will never go back. I saw the guy making coffee hand two coffees to kitchen staff while costumers were still waiting for their coffee. Cooks weren't wearing gloves, placing everything on your plate with their bare hands. Nightmare. read more
