My rare trek to Dolphin Mall always includes a walk over to the Ikea store. You never know what you may find that you need. And lunch is the best there. The cafe is a large space, well lit and bright; I always sit by the windows and stare at the turnpike. It's self serve except for the entrees, service was pretty quick. When I was there last with my husband, the food - to tell the truth - was subpar. Last week, however, it was almost really good. I had some sort of green chile chicken with rice and bean and plantains. It was my birthday month and I had a slice of chocolate mousse cake. The chicken was delicious. The rice and beans really needed seasoning, totally bland. The cake delicious with my free (family member) coffee. read more

How do you go to IKEA and not stop and get some Swedish meatballs?!? Strategically located at the end of your shopping maze. The IKEA restaurant, or better said cafeteria, has a variety of items including meatloaf, chicken, and of course swedish meatballs (both vegan and non vegan options). The meatballs which come with two sides, typically mash potatoes and peas are usually the popular choice. My wife opted for the chicken dish with a side of mixed veggies and sweet plantains because of course it's a Miami IKEA. I went with the traditional meatballs. I feel the meals are always at a good price point but unfortunately they needed salt. We had to laugh as the sweet plantains made every bite better. It was just a flavor bomb compared to everything else. We laughed as Swedish meets Latin food and boom...flavor country. If you ever saw that classic Bambi meets Godzilla, you would understand how I felt about Swedish food meets Latin Fried Plantains. The desserts are very good. The chocolate cake was super moist and that Almond Caramel Cake was amazing. Their soda options are unique and are low on sugar. Worth a try. Also they have a playground section for the little ones to spend that energy while you eat. Overall it's a nice stop after you've shopped so you can leave on a full stomach. read more

My recent visit to IKEA in Sweetwater, Florida, with my girlfriend was truly delightful. The store's commitment to cleanliness and the exceptional assistance from the staff elevated our shopping experience. The well-maintained environment created a welcoming atmosphere that made navigating through the store enjoyable. We couldn't resist indulging in the diverse and delicious food offerings. From classic meatballs paired with peas and fries to the delightful combination of salmon on the side with a side of macaroni and cheese, every bite was a culinary delight. The food not only met but exceeded our expectations, adding a memorable aspect to our overall visit. What made the experience even more satisfying was the reasonable cost. With the total coming out to be around $30, we felt that we received excellent value for the quality of both the products and the food. In conclusion, IKEA Sweetwater proved to be a haven for both shopping and dining, offering a harmonious blend of cleanliness, helpful staff, delectable food, and affordability. It's an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. (You can also get free coffee if you sign up for their family card which is free) read more

IKEA Restaurant - Meatballs with peas, fries, macaroni and cheese, with salmon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is just like a big warehouse of inspiration. We literally came today just to get ideas for our house. Walked through the different spaces, dreamt and got a couple of items that we've been looking everywhere for (like that awkward space in a corner cabinet? They have a pull out lazy Susan to fix it.). Then if you're hungry (which is likely since the place is huge) you can head over to their restaurant/café on the top floor. We had the seafood croissant sandwich which was DELICIOUS! My only point here would be that there were no sodas available except coke today... they usually have a fun variety of flavors. If you're looking for something lighter like ice cream and hot dogs, that's available at the bottom floor right after the cashiers. Finally, come with patience. I take out a star for the ridiculous need to go through the entire store to be able to exit... once you're in from the top floor, it's a one way street until the end. Incredibly frustrating and the o ly thing that keeps me from visiting more often. read more

Well I am extremely disappointed with Ikea's restaurant. Although the eating area was clean and well stocked the food left much to desire. The Swedish meatballs dish, which is their signature dish was missing the white creamy sauce and the raspberry jam. Instead of the Swedish meatball sauce, we were given some type of au jus sauce that was kind of salty yet bland. When I asked about the raspberry jam I was told they ran out of the big bags so I could purchase a bottle of this jam downstairs if I really wanted it. Swedish, meatball dish, no creamy sauce for the meatballs, the mashed potatoes had no salt, completely bland, and so were the peas. At almost $15 a dish this was terrible. The last time we were here was about a month ago, and they didn't even have the Swedish meatballs. They said they had run out. I chose not to write a review at that time wondering how do you run out of your signature dish, but this time I am writing a review this is not acceptable, and their service has definitely fallen from the upscale service we know them to have. I am not sure I can recommend this eatery at this time. read more

Cheap as chips and meatballs come preassembled. Grab what you like in the freezer section when you leave with your furniture.

Free coffee or tea for IKEA Family Members, cheap breakfast, lunch, and dinner, gotta love it! Lots of seating here, and the view outside with the long floor to ceiling glass, brightens your day. The chocolate cake dessert is one of my favorites and the fresh ground beans coffee machine that makes cappuccinos is just perfect. The place is usually very clean and the restrooms are right beside the dining room. read more

IKEA Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

I don't know why I always end up hungry when I'm at IKEA. It's not like their food is really great... Just think about it for one moment, meatballs are the best food for IKEA to serve to all their customers around the world. They can mass-produce at one facility and then just keep them frozen forever, ship them with the furniture and market them as their famous food when you go shopping. To me it's just capitalizing on people and making you think that you need to eat their meatballs which is what I always end up doing as well. TBH... IKEA food is no better than a hospital cafeteria...that's just the feeling I get whenever I go there. It's clean and service is good but sometimes I feel like brainwashed in eating there. read more

I'm guessing the Swedish chefs are similar to the Canadians. Not terrible food, just bland. I think a gas station hot dog with chili would be better than their lunch read more

Come hungry to IKEA and stop here before shopping!!! The Swedish meatballs are a must try! They also now have salmon balls which to me are equally delicious. If you are an IKEA family member (which is free to sign up upon entering the store) coffee and tea are complimentary. There are other options besides meatballs, like salad and wraps or a piece of broiled salmon, but I come for the meatballs always!! They offer soup and desserts as well as fountain soda's. Service is fast and friendly and prices are as you would expect from IKEA=cheap. You can sit down and eat and gather your shopping strategy before heading to the showroom on the same level floor. You can also purchase the meatballs and salmon (frozen) as well as other market items downstairs where the checkout is. read more

Absolutely top-notch five star restaurant within a store. So let's say first, that we're not comparing this with a restaurant on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, we are comparing it with restaurants inside mega stores. Usually you just find junk food in those. Love the veggie balls and the little crunchy chocolate cake. Everything is efficient, good quality at a decent price. Just a great place when your wife can't find her way out of the maze and is stuck somewhere between the baskets and bedding and you couldn't find her anyways. read more

Here you can find the famous Swedish meatballs frozen along with salmon and more. They also sell great juices, cookies, and my favorites; the Chocolates. Everything here has a great price. read more

Boyyyy if you want a taste of Sweden you've come to the right place. I came for furniture, and left with a full tummy. I first walked in wanting something quick and easy so I got pizza and a hot dog for the combined price of only $2.25. What a steal! I then wanted to venture off into some more Swedish food because, you know, when in Rome right? So I got some of their world famous Swedish meatballs and boy I got to tell you, they took me off onto an adventure. The savory gravy complimented the nice and supple meatballs while the season vegetables took me to the gardens of Sweden. My experience at Ikea was top notch. Would definitely come again! read more

A trip to ikea isn't complete without their famous Swedish meatballs. The food is cheap, the servers are quick and give extra lindenberry sauce, and the tables are always clean and plentiful. What more can you expect from an IKEA cafeteria. PS cheesecake didn't taste like cheesecake to me but that's ok, I usually don't go for dessert but this one looked a little interesting. Until next time IKEA. read more

Now two bucks for a plate of "Swedish American Breakfast" can't be beat. The food was hot and the servers were very friendly. The side of bacon was A SIDE OF BACON it was huge. Flavorful and good value. Now the selection for lunch and other meals is also something That got my attention. V A R I E T Y is the watch word here....jsut like their utilitarian housewares the food serves its purpose effectively......a nice touch is the free cup of coffer for Ikea Family members.....easy to sign up and all they need is a barcode from the email they send you. Added ours to the app and always at our fingertips. I would go here every weekend but can't seem to leave without a new build it yourself something to make my life that more organized and efficient. :) Update Store is closed.

IKEA Restaurant - Smoked salmon wrap! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

What a joke... not the first time this has happened to us. It's Friday night at 7:45pm. The place closes at 9:30pm and they are out of their veggie balls. When asked about making more (that take a whooping 13 minutes) the repeated response from the "kitchen manager" is "there is no more veggie balls". Like it's going to kill your whole production to throw a bag of frozen balls in a pan for 13minutes and bake them?? Cmon IKEA!! read more

I love the cafeteria! After spending a day at IKEA shopping and going through every single department, I'm ready for some of the famous Swedish meatballs! The price is right, the desserts are yummy and you can purchase many of the items served in the frozen section. If you want to eat light, the salmon is a pretty good option. I hope to go by soon for some storage furniture and some more meatballs of course. read more

Great prices but some items are lacking flavor or the main ingredient is more like a side show to a topping... the deserts are generally lovely. The shortens didn't come with the red wine sauce as advertised above the service area :\ but aren't terrible and are darn tolerable at $9. The barbeque chicken wrap needs a lot more barbeque chicken to be called anything other than a cold tortilla with cheese and a hint of barbeque chicken. The potato broccoli and cheese medallions win the day today. They are like broccoli cheddar soup but with the added joy of potato carbs! Lol read more

If you haven't been to Ikea, schedule a trip and be sure to visit the restaurant. Even at 3pm, the place was pretty full. Staff was adequate and entries were all still fresh. I got chicken florentine, mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables-healthy, filling, and only 340 calories. This time I skipped the delicious almond cake in favor of the $1 frozen yogurt downstairs at 140 calories. Part of the IKEA fun is marveling at its organization and efficiency, and the restaurant is no exception. It's also fun to gawk at the enormously full trays of others. Everything just looks so good, and the eyes are bigger than stomach, in most cases. read more

I demand straws. And antibacterial stations. It should be law at places as big as theme parks. Breakfast was cheap...like most everything else here. Sign up for the rewards card to get a free coffee (75 cents anyway) Espresso available too! Swedish Breakfast with crepes, "eggs", home fries and sausage was okay. Eggs were terrible. Ive had fake eggs before but these were the worst. The crepes were yummy, especially with the orange marmalade provided. $2.99 Side of bacon $1.29. Ok, time to shop. Gotta go. read more

Freaking delish. If you're looking for something inexpensive but still great, hit up IKEA's cafeteria. We took advantage of the BOGO meatball dinner deal, plus my birthday coupon (sign up for IKEA Family...seriously, there's no annoying emails, just a birthday coupon and in-store deals). We pigged out and it was great. Four stars because, well, the ambience and you sometimes end up waiting a while for them to have the food ready to plate. read more

IKEA Restaurant - We're a little ridiculous, but my review explains how we bargained out on all this food...for like $13! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

Everything you ever needed to furnish your house, your office, ... EVERYTHING! Just getting to this IKEA was awesome. first to floors were devoted to parking. Airport size parking lots. Super sweet. Every parents' dreams included the first thing you see when you step in: free high school sized lockers to store your stuff in; children's play area (like a babysitting site filled with things for kids to do; throughout the store are restrooms strategically placed so that you never have to leave that area; another well planned restaurant of Swedish style food (for your convenience, there are hooks to hold your bags while you eat). Every section of the store is equipped with a showroom to suit all things you may be interested in seeing, but again, its SUPER organized. Towards the end of that section, you are greeted with a mini selection of things they have on that floor. At the end of all the sections, there is a warehouse of detailed things you may have forgotten about so they make sure you get one more round of seeing all of their things. As you get closer to the checkout line, you meet outdoor sets and boxes of things you can collect. Pretty awesome indeed. I LUV IKEA ... but worst ... made my MUM an IKEA LOVER TOO! THANKS IKEA-Miami. read more

If you're in the area or shopping at Ikea, and searching for decent, inexpensive food, look no further. Where else can you feed a family of four for under $20? They have a pretty good variety of food to choose from, including prepared salads, sandwiches, and desserts. My usual orders are Swedish meatballs, veggie meatballs, kids chicken fingers, and the must have veggie cakes! If you haven't tried the veggie cakes, you must! Downsides - It's IKEA so there will be a small village of people surrounding you at all times. In addition, on multiple occasions the bistro has only had one side open, which means the line of people waiting for the hot food will spill out of the area. The management should be better assessing the lines and opening up both sides to allow people to quickly and easily get their food. read more

Since moving to Miami Beach a few years ago, my partner and I still haven't finished buying furniture for our condo, and what better place to go than the fairly new IKEA the Netherlands phenomenal home/kitchen/home accessories retail superstore. We have been to the IKEA in Brooklyn and knew we were in for a lot of walking so we looked for the cafe to make sure we had energy for shopping and sure enough we found the restaurant, right by the entrance IKEA knows if you fuel up on carbs your likely to spend more time there therefore buy more too! surprisingly the food was pretty good the Bistro had all our favorites, mac and cheese, fries, veggie/potato pattie, almond tart, veggie meatball plate and elderberry juice and last but not least a cappuccino and latte. If you read my reviews I say I look forward to coming back to a place and it holds true for IKEA because we did not finish shopping! the store is massive and plus we get to try other vegetarian dishes at the Bistro! read more

Can't really ask more for quality food at a cheap price! Swedish meatballs here at Ikea is a must for every Ikea stop! After looking through modern contemporary furniture, for some reason, I always have a want to stop by the cafe for a snack. The free coffee/tea that comes with the Ikea family membership is also a nice treat. My favorite, other than the meatballs that everyone else has already mentioned, is absolutely the salmon. The sauce they use to drizzle the salmon is super tasty and the texture of the salmon is perfect "melt in your mouth". Not only that, I love the chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. For only about $4 you get this heavenly goodness with fries included. Ikea cafe is absolutely the best bang for your buck! read more

I love the fact that they have free coffee and especially that my daughter absolutely loves this place. It is pretty good, cheap, and the desserts are awesome! The only reason as to why I do not give a 5 star rating is because sometimes the staff has not been very pleasant. Other than this, it is awesome! You should check it out! read more

What's not to love about Ikea? I'll find any excuse to drive all the way from Pinecrest

I've been here a few times with my family and my daughter just absolutely loves IKEA food. The only reason why I do not give it a full 5 stars is because a few times, the serving staff has not been super friendly. read more

They need to staff better with more cashiers and serving staff when it gets busy during the post holiday week. A lot of people were there today, January 2, at 1:30 pm and they had only 1 cashier plus only 1 side of the serving area going. The line was about 15 minutes long to wait for food and paying. In addition there were not enough tray carts for everyone and it can be hard for little kids to carry their trays with plates and glasses that may shatter if dropped... They had ran out of garlic toast with no sign of replacing it any time soon. The food my family ate was delicious as usual. And there was plenty of seating for the crowds. However it's clear that the managers need to anticipate better staffing for the days when kids are off school and large family groups are going to be in there to eat. read more

The store is amazing but the food sucks ass!! The workers could be a little nicer when talking to the customer. If you don't want to work...then go omega and read a book. Also I asked for a straw for my drink and the woman lies and says those don't exist here. Really? Strange I saw a little boy with a cup and straw. Not good to lie. read more

So we had to go to Ikea and decided to eat there. Usually the swedish meatballs are good enough and the price is right. We tried the stuffed chicken. My wife woke up this morning swollen from the preservatives. She is sensitive to MSG and such. The food was not great this time. Beans were overcooked, chicken overcooked, soup was not great. At the coffee wasn't awful this time. Usually it's burn but no, ok. So if you go to Ikea and eat avoid the chicken soup, stuffed chicken and string beans. Oh, and cornbread is southern so don't expect much. read more

Let me start off by saying this place has an absolute heavenly selection of foods. However, the food is warm not hot. The furniture on display was absolutely amazing and the decorations were just as fabulous. I would definitely come here if you are shopping for furniture for baby rooms read more
