"Incredibly delicious food! I highly recommend checking out Fika. I have visited many times for lunch or brunch and I'm always so impressed by their food.

The menu rotates a bit with the seasons, but you can always find Swedish meatballs and gravlax available—both of which are fantastic. On my most recent visit I was able to try the seasonal “Kroppkakor,” which are veal and potato dumplings. These were so good and I highly recommend trying them if they're on the menu! Additionally, their cocktails and coffee are also wonderful. I always get their “Bloody Swede” whenever I visit and it is genuinely one of the best Bloody Marys I've ever had, the beet and aquavit just make for an incredible drink.

Beyond the food and drink, the location inside the American Swedish Institute is great—if there is ever a long wait to be seated, you can put your name in and explore the museum and they will text you when your table is ready. However, the only times I've ever had to wait long for a table have been during the Christmas season. The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is great. It's a super clean and trendy space which feels very modern Scandinavian. At this point I have brought most of my family here whenever they are visiting from out of town and they all love it. Overall a great place and I will certainly keep coming back regularly for those meatballs!"

"If you are looking for a cafe experience in a museum this is the place. Its bright, airy and peaceful. The option for wine or coffee or Italian soda is inclusive for all in our party. The food was not only yummy but artistically plated and "just right" servings. The egg & harvarti was excellent. The swedish meatballs were soooo good. The vegan version of the butter salad was just right. We tried the rye & brioche breads. Yummy but didnt realize they came toasted with butter. The very best part of the lunch was the bread pudding. It is scrumptious. Like a warm, sweet hug while sitting in the sun on a cool day. Perfect. Got pastries to go & the thin ginger cookies (cant recall the Swedish word) are quite lovely. The only not 5 star was the coffee...bit too sour after taste. The service was pretty good (waitress didnt seem to happy), all the staff were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were so clean, wow! We will definitely be back!!"

"A small cafe at the American Swedish Institute. The food and service were great! Try the Swedish Coffee! The meatballs were scrumptious! The Cadamom Bread Pudding was to die for. A slice of Pumpkin Seed Bread was yummy as well."
