One of my favorite spots to work or hang out with my friends in Toronto. The ambiance is beautiful. I usually get the Breakfast Wrap (i believe that's what it was called) since it's gluten free and it's amazing. It's ultimate place to go when i have nothing to do, or just want to catch up with my friends.n read more

Love their cardamom iced coffee but it's really exp for the quantity you get :( I do love their wall covered in books but it's always packed in that room so I've never had a chance to sit and read/work there It's v busy especially on the weekends but cute cafe read more

This place really belongs in Kensington. It has the feel of Kensington market: local, unpretentious, a bit hippie, but now in trendy white. It's quite hard to get to if you were searching for it. I find this specific street in Kensington a bit hard compared to other streets because (by car) it can only be accessed in one direction from one street. I really like the decor, seems relaxing. The service staff, they are super nice, pretty, offers a nice quick chat as they prepare you order and they are funny. Came here for my Indie Coffee Passport drink and found they offered a Hot Latte with Cardamon and Mint, except the hot drink actually has no mint. They quickly let me know and it's cool with me. The drink itself was really relaxing because of the cardamon. It tastes just like the Indian rice pudding I had night before with cardamon. They were just about to serve some free samples of their food before i left; too bad I was on my way. I think I'd come here again to get a drink when in the area. read more

Just had the rooibos almond tea latte and it was amazing! Lovely chill vibe and music. Would definitely recommend!

Such a cute and cozy cafe in the heart of Kensington! Too bad when I went there was no AC so it was helllaaaa stuffy! I had the BRIE + BLUEBERRY JAM GRILLED CHEESE and FIKA ICED COFFEE and they didn't quite hit the spot. The grilled cheese was a bit bland and just had a little bit of sweetness to it at most. I guess it was my first meal of the day so I was really craving for something flavourful so i don't blame them. The presentation was good though! The fika iced coffee was not that enjoyable to me either and i blame it on the cardamom bitters! My friend had the lavender white hot chocolate and that delishhhhhh! Having said that, if i was in the area, i still woudn't mind coming back for other items on the menu just cause this cafe is supahhh cute! read more

I like the interior of this coffee shop and the outdoor seating area. I was intended to try the Fika iced coffee, but they ran out of mint. So I had their Cardamon spiced latte. Unique taste, but the spice was too strong for me. The grilled sandwich looked good. Might return to try. read more

Pros: - The cafe itself is adorable - I love the white, airy decor and I especially love the wall of books! I also like the fact that there is a patio out in the back. Would love to eat out in the back when I come back here again. - I really enjoyed the FIKA iced coffee. Very refreshing, especially with the added mint. - For my second visit, I ordered the grilled chicken salad. They didn't have any grilled chicken at the time but they were willing to substitute the chicken with smoked salmon, which, in my opinion, is even better! - Very relaxing ambiance. Cons: - It took a while for me to get my drink and it wasn't even that busy the last time I was there. I would definitely be coming back again. If you're ever in Kensington and you need to take a break, I recommend stopping by FIKA for some iced coffee and pastries! read more

World's Best Iced Coffee. Literally. If you happen to be in the area or just want a really great iced coffee then grab it from here. The cafe is long so when you walk in there's a good few seats for people right before the beverage and food bar/register. Right behind it is a white room with a light wood coloured community table surrounded by a white wall of written pages from a book that looks like it was fairly well written. The whole feel is very European inspired. So back to my reason for loving this place. The iced coffee is made with cardamom and mint leaves which happen to be on my list of favourite ingredients. The backyard set up with the hammock is almost too perfect for a lazy Indian Sunday kinda chill spot. The bathroom downstairs is neat and clean. Well done FIKA. Not cutting any corners ; cafe done well :) xoxo M. read more

Such a sweet and homey tea shop! Immediately when you walk in the adorable interior will put a smile on your face. The shop is divided into three seating sections, one at the front (it's where I like to sit and study sometimes) and the back area and backyard. They serve a good variety of food, sweets, and tea/coffee, and my favorite thing to order there by far is their hibiscus tea which is absolutely heavenly and unique! The only issue I've noticed is that it does get pretty crowded on certain times, I've come across occasions where I had to order my stuff and leave because it was so full, so keep that in mind when visiting FIKA! Overall amazing teashop with great service/food/ambiance. read more

It's a little hard to find it on the street but when you enter it's really nice and comfortable environment. Mostly feels like home. Staff is nice and friendly too. Serves you with great hygiene standard. It's a good place for school work or just to hang out in less noisy area. read more

I come here for my lavender white chocolate. The foam to creaminess consistency is just perfect! Cute space and I really love their horse logo. If only they had more seating space. It can get super busy on a Saturday. Darn, why can't a place this good have a spacious interior? It's a bit cramped and probably is the only reason why I would just order the drinks to go. Anyway, I can't wait till their patio opens up in the summer! read more

A dramatic difference from the rest of kensington's warm, rustic feel, Fika is minimal, open, bright.. which isn't really my idea of a perfect cafe, but I can respect them for what they have created. I too was here for the indie coffee passport, and opted for the dark chocolate mocha. It was rich and creamy (full fat milk, but i swear he added some cream to get it that rich, yum) had a nice chocolate flavour, but it was lighter than I hoped when I ordered a "dark chocolate" mocha, and the balance of coffee to milk felt off.. was there really espresso in this drink? Maybe I ordered the "wrong" drink, bit if you cant do it right, don't serve it. read more

Amazing cafe, incredibly cute and cozy with a open patio (the hammock at the back is major key). The Fika ice coffee is a must try!

A lovely cafe with authentic Swedish cinnamon buns (Kanelbullar) that are quite authentic. Even my Swedish colleagues called them "acceptable" - which is about as high praise as they give. The team at Fika puts a lot of effort into everything they do, and it shows. I used them for a business meeting and they delivered on time and went beyond what was promised. I'll definitely be back, both in person to visit the cafe, and to ask for their catering services again. read more

Cozy cafe with delightful treats! Try their cardamom latte and semlor (if you're in around April/shrove Tuesday).

One of my regular coffee spots to go to! It has a really chill vibe, cozy atmosphere, great exclusive coffee strands, and free wifi ;) It's not the biggest place so space can sometimes be an issue, but it's a great cozy-corner type place that everyone should visit at least once! read more

I discovered this place through the Indie Coffee Passport. The passport menu offered a cardamom mint latte that was DELISH - thanks Fika for not offering your crappiest drinks on the passport menu. I also loved the avocado sandwich, whose coriander, lime and pickled onions elevated the humble vegetarian sandwich to new levels. How cozy is this coffee shop, like being in a Swedish living room: I settled right into the throw-covered wingback chairs in front of the fireplace and frankly didn't want to leave. There is a charming, calm, minimalist Scandinavian decor. Service is great too! Will happily return to this great little spot. read more

I took my italian friend here for coffee, and she actually liked and enjoyed the latte here! Approved! Pastries were amazing too. :) Nice cute atmosphere, great for chatting with friends. read more

You can't find a more creative cafe than Fika in Toronto. I first heard of this cafe because of all the instagram posts of their infamous wall covered with books. Upon my first visit, I was greeted by their manager kindly and we had a small chat about how this cafe first started out. Apparently the owner did an exchange in Sweden when she was a student and decided to open Fika after working as a photographer for years. I also had the pleasure to meet the owner the same morning and we did a spontaneous interview for my food blog! The back room is a space where she lets her creativity runs wild and the current book piece is done by a local artist. Drinks-wise, I'm a huge fan of their lavender white hot chocolate. I usually don't like white chocolate but this one is worth having over and over again! I asked the barista to make me a less sweetened one and it was perfect. Would I come back again? Oh yes. read more

Absolute four stars. Kensington is my must-go place for relax. Thanks for the super convenient neighborhood. I could easily city-hike from china town to Spadina delight: Kensinton. And Fika, is the delightful stop-by for quick coffee or afternoon break. They have my favorite scone, which always make me miss it when I have to take Timmies tea biscuit. They also serve very nice espresso. Find a sunny day in September before leaves all gone , knock in with your favorite books, enjoy treasuring moment in Fika's backyard. read more

Lovely airy Scandinavia decor. Pretty patio out back. Friendly, efficient service. The egg sandwich with tomato chutney made a familiar dish more appealing. The iced Kika coffee was delicious. read more

You've probably seen their book wall on your Instagram feed, but did you know about their signature iced coffee spiced with cardamom and mint? The iced coffee is comparable to Philz for anyone from San Francisco. They've got a great patio for the hot summer days and a communal table in the back that's great for doing work. Only issue I had with the place was that they don't offer wifi on weekends during the summer months... so maybe avoid this place if you're trying to do work. read more

Great atmosphere and decor! It was my first time in Toronto & Kensington Market, and it was a great place to stop. The barista was super friendly and helpful! I had the Fika special, and overall it was a pretty good drink. I'm someone who generally enjoys their coffee black, so this was definitely a good change up. The well decorate exterior, cooly decorated backyard, book wall, and front patio/cafe makes Fika a great place to just hang around and take a bunch of photos! read more

This is an adorable coffee house in Kensington! I had the Cardamom Spiced Latte which was perfectly lightly spiced with Cardamom. There's a really cute back patio as well as a front patio. The mint green color scheme is an attractive choice, although it is beginning to look a little worn. There's plenty of space inside for meeting or working read more

My friend never got her brownie and unfortunately realized this after leaving. I on the other hand, agreed on a discounted sandwich without the salad it comes with, yet they charged me full. Although my friend and I had a good conversation/time, this service is disappointing. read more

Great stop for an iced tea or iced coffee! Nice, clean, modern break from the chaos of bohemian Kensington Ave. I went here each time I visited Kensington Market on my three week visit to Toronto. Enjoyed the service, air con, decor, free WiFi and refreshing drinks. read more

My favourite cafe i've ever been to in my life:) best place to chill. Love the ambience and decor at this cafe! Really cute and cosy place:) super affordable menu as well! The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Gonna head back there today:) read more

Very good coffee, sweets and ambiance over all. Highly recommend the combination of cardamom spiced latte with their cinnamon bun. The interactive wall makes for great insta pictures if you're into that. I don't usually like Kensington Market, but this place really seems to weed out all the potheads and weirdos that are usually present at other locations in Kensington. It has a unique design, coming very close to Swedish interior design. The food itself also resembles Swedish food very well, even though it is not the EXACT same. I have multiple friends who just go there to grab a snack and study all day, which is even better during warmer days, when their backside patio is open. Prices are just a bit higher than Starbucks per se but the overall quality is worth it. read more

HUGE FAN OF FIKA! I am a regular here and it's my favourite espresso in the area. It is the cutest place and they have AMAZING outdoor seating at the back. It's like a little oasis. Cardamom fig cookie is a really interesting and tasty treat. Breakfast sandwich is delicious! But go early because they sell out! I love fika you will love fika. read more

The interior is lovely! It is such a cute and cozy cafe to enjoy a drink. The service is friendly and they have amazing treats. This is a nice place to stop by and have a coffee/treat although it may be hard to get a seat sometimes. read more

This a cute cafe in Kensington market. Definitely insta-worthy but people and FIKA need to realise that some people would like to come and sit there to actually drink their coffee. Most people are there working and have no plans of leaving the place. Honestly, people would like to enjoy their coffee and company at the location. I ordered the Lavender White Hot Chocolate. The lavender and cardamom quantity made it quite bitter. read more

The atmosphere and coffee at a Fika are both great and how I wish my house was. The coffee was made well and my friend had the cardamom latte which she enjoyed. The choc chip cookie was delicious and soft in the middle. I would definitely go back here. read more
