Swedish meatballs
Jake T.

Seriously love coming here especially after doing some shopping in store this is the perfect middle point. Love the cafeteria lunch line feel. The Swedish meatballs are always good and the desserts have never disappointed. The veggies for the side though are hit or miss. The kiddos the chicken tenders are always a win. Will continue to come here when I'm in town!!

You know, sometimes you get hungry when you're shopping and it just so happens that an IKEA Cafeteria is close by. It's great when you need a quick and relatively affordable meal that's somewhat different from a typical fast food restaurant. In my opinion, if you're here, you have to try the Swedish meatballs. I'm not a big peas fan so i switch out with fries. The drinks are some of my favorites. I love trying a sample of everything. The ikea cola was so good. And if you eat the meatballs, you have to dip it in the jam it comes with Try to come when it isn't lunch. Once lunch hits, it's so busy and can be hard to find a table.

IKEA restaurant is everything it's hyped up to be! I typically hate Swedish meatballs, but these were delicious. Everything was so good and reasonably priced. I love their desserts! The staff was friendly and there is plenty of seating to enjoy your meal. There's a big window with a pretty view on one side of the cafeteria. I can't wait to return!

This cafe has loads of seating , I have never eaten at an Ikea restaurant before. I was a bit confused on how the ordering went as it's set up like a cafeteria. It reminded me of when I used to order my meals when I worked for the Walt Disney company. The cafeteria here at Ikea reminded me of that one , looked out of the 1950's. There were trays and even carts to place several trays on. On one side of the cafeteria there were loads of cakes and desserts in an enclosed display case . There were also salads and wraps in another. They had menu boards to order meals from and hot display case to customize your food. I needed help getting my order to go. I just wanted meatballs and a piece of garlic toast. The line servers were very nice and helpful. I took my food and paid at the checkout register of the restaurant. If I ever have to come back I may try other things but this was not a set up for me.

Once a month, IKEA offers bingo night! We went for the Valentine's Day bingo night which was way more packed than I thought it would be. They offer BOGO coupons for all attendees of bingo night, so an already affordable meal gets even more affordable. Swedish meatballs are my go to. They're perfectly bouncy and the gravy and lingonberry jam pair perfectly. The cafeteria style ambiance is super nostalgic and takes me back to my elementary school cafeteria days, albeit with better food.

I wasn't especially impressed with the restaurant. It was incredible average with very few choices. It's pretty much a cafeteria as opposed to a restaurant. It's neither exceptional nor bad. The tomato soup was really good as was the strawberry shortcake. The rest was just "ok" and edible but nothing to write home about. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the area itself was very clean and organized. It looks like the breakfast is more interesting, with a wider selection of foods. I doubt I'd eat here again unless I was really hungry. The snack shop near the exit has pizza and exceptional yogurt cones that were much, much better.

Shrimp salad croissant

This restaurant used to be better. However the prices make up for some of the lower quality food. I always come here and eat pastries and meatballs. The meatballs used to be much tastier, not are what happened there (change of recipe?). The coffe here is decent and today I found out that they have started selling skagen sandwiches. These are so good- not sure if they are only tasting good to Swedes or if people that didn't grow up with it likes it too. However it is a nice shrimp salad croissant that brings some nostalgia for me. And also found out today that they are not serving lingonberry, pear or any other sparkling drink in the resetaurant anymore. All of it have been replaced with typical sodas like Sierra Mist, cola etc....

Meatballs, leek chips, and some Swedish candy bars.
Juliana L.

First time having the meatballs! They lived up to my expectations. And those expectations were delicious. Totally worth it to stop in the little restaurant while you're enjoying the beautiful maze that is IKEA.

I recently discovered that Ikea isn't just a furniture heaven. It's a wallet friendly paradise for foodies too. Imagine feeding your entire family for less than $20.

meatballs with gravy, rice and broccoli

You might want to step up your game, IKEA. Or at least list your broccoli as broccoli stems.

Ask the Community - IKEA Restaurant

Do you sell rosettes? Apparently I can't answer the question "What is a rosette" unless I edit my question? A rosette is a Swedish Christmas cookie. Delicate and crispy, dusted with sugar. I can't find them in Denver, but they are popular in MN!?

What is a rosette? I am from Sweden and I do not know what a rosette is? They don't have any of those at IKEA at least...

My entire…read morecustomer service experience was top notch- a goal that's harder and harder for a company to achieve in these covid times. I ordered my table and was told it could take a month to receive but was delighted to be called the next day and informed that another order for the same table had been cancelled and I could gone pick mine up! Nita provided the utmost professionalism and knowledge of the product line and was able to direct me towards pieces that might work for my needs. I never felt pushed into a sale or judged for feeling a price was out of budget. Unfortunately once I had my table in place I decided the finish wasn't the right color for us. Nita informed me of when the other colors would be available, ordered my new piece and they let me keep the one I was returning until the new one arrived. As with many shipments this last year, my new table took way longer to arrive than was thought. Nita kept in touch to ensure I knew my table was still on the way and when the time finally arrived that it could be delivered she contacted me to schedule. When the new table was delivered they also assembled it and took away the old table making the return process incredibly easy and convenient. I'm incredibly happy with this new table and my entire experience! Nita is the best! Thanks so much!

So I reached out to them on Instagram to see if they offered a Gluten-free option and they do. I had the Spuds which has Tarragon aioli, cheese curds, pickled red onions, potato chips, beet salt, dill, micro greens. It was amazing. My wife had the Beets which has Salt roasted and pickled beets, radish, turnips, carrots, Icelandic goat cheese, sunflower seeds, micro greens. She loved it and the fact that it was Gluten-free was great. From roaminghunger.com Grey Duck Eats is a truly one of a kind foodie experience. How so? Two words - Scandinavian food. This type of international fare is sorely underrepresented in the US of A, but luckily this trailer is stepping in to right that wrong.

I got the smoked salmon sandwich, which I would say had too much cream cheese, but that could be personal preference. I think it could benefit from a topping that brought more acidity or salty flavor. It felt as if I stepped right off the boat into Scandinavia, but in Boulder. I would gladly come back, and I would be open to getting this same sandwich.

Food highlights were definitely the chickpea fritters (delicious!), pull-apart bread, lamb meatballs, and scallops. For our main course, we ordered the scallops and the cabbage, which came highly recommended. The cabbage was probably our least favorite dish of the night, and my husband and I agreed we would have happily ordered two rounds of the scallops instead! The overall experience was great, and the service was really good, especially considering how busy they were.

We got all dressed up, made a night out of it, and felt like royalty from the moment we sat down. We chose to sit at the bar, and I think that's the best way to experience this place. Watching the chefs cook and plate every dish right in front of you is so fun to see. The kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine, and everyone works with so much care and respect for what they're doing. Our server was amazing. They knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made us feel so welcome without ever being overbearing. One of my favorite parts was the postcard they give you with your bill. You can have them mail it to you later, which is such a fun little keepsake from the night Everything about this place feels thoughtful. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. This has officially become our special occasion spot, and we'll definitely be back.

The notion that this place doesn't have all 5 star reviews is a crisis of humanity…read more You walk in- tranquility- it's that kind of calm you get when you've just finished your second glass of wine and you run head on into a Frazier Marathon. It's the kind of furniture you have just to let your high school friends know... you've leveled up. Foolishly they ask,"where can I find furniture like this!?" And you say... "At the top." Subsequently, you turn and exit the room; but not before muttering, "Look for a while longer and then see yourself out... the furniture needs it's quiet time to reflect." While they're paralyzed with many legitimate questions regarding this convo, you take the opportunity to pivot and slowly walk down the hallway- muttering under your breath: "Scandinavian Furniture."

He suggested we look at the floor model in the clearance center (could have pushed to sell the new one!).

The next evening, we had trouble putting it back together, and thought there was a missing piece.

The chemicals have been banned for sale in CO and some other places for good reason. They contain "forever" chemicals linked to disease if transferred to food as pans get old and deteriorate. They can leach when very hot and when pans get scratched, they can chip into your food. You cannot even buy Teflon by mail order to CO and other states with high barriers for environmental health safety. I only had 4 pans but for use when only nonstick will do. They are very old and somewhat scratched. So I set out to look at the newer safer options in very specific sizes. And having had to return something I got that would not serve my needs I decided to shop in person as I had a ride here today. Staff approached immediately and show me some options. We weighed the ease of use and weight and handle comfort of our choices in ceramic non stick skillets. Pans are a lot more expensive these days for many reasons but this store as some at various price points in sizes I needed. After bagging the box the set came in, we saw a few updated bottle caps for wines and champagne that we needed too . Our old stick were too dried and tired to do the job anymore and these are better and well crafted and should all last a long time. We weee lucky we got what we wanted today.. a d more. A really nice store for our needs and style.

As someone who is disabled while recovering from spinal fusion surgery I get looks as is, along with only being 24 it doesn't pair extremely well with my age. Essentially being stalked by appearance alone in the store with my wife and I wearing sweatshirts since it was cold, we were looking at some things to decorate our living room with. Going into the store and looking for 5 minutes there was already an Indian lady who came over and started doing the typical corporate training stalking asking if we had questions or what we were looking for when in reality it was a pry to figure out intentions. We had picked up a candle holder and deer, total was about $50 worth of merchandise. This triggered a F NO response with the same indian lady working there and she immediately walked over to my wife and took the 2 things we had picked up out of our hands. Never in my entire life on this earth have I had someone come over and take merchandise out of mine or my SO's hands and said we'll have to buy it up on the counter. I own my own business, am decently well off, and this genuinely p*ssed me off so much we dropped what we had and left the store when we had planned on spending around $200. On the way out, a seperate white lady followed us to the exit without me noticing, and shut the damn door on us. HAHAHA. Never go to this location, ever, ever, ever. I'll order online for now on, considering not even buying from this company anymore for their horrible antics. And to think we were discussing coming there when we had our baby and house, what a god damn joke.
