Bringing Swedish hospitality, scratch pastries, and award-winning coffee roasting to Kensington Market since 2013.
Opened over a decade ago in a century-old house in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant Kensington Market, FIKA Café was built to be a quiet retreat from the busy city streets. With light wood tones, simple layout, exposed brickwork, and warm greenery, our physical space embodies the Swedish design philosophy.
The Dala horse (Dalahäst), a traditional carved wooden toy horse from the Swedish province of Dalarna, stands as our symbol of craftsmanship, community, and welcome.
We pride ourselves on doing things the honest way. We make all our pastries in-house from scratch. We select coffee from the best guest roasters and roast our own micro-lots with care on site.
Fika Cafe is owned and led by Yadi Arifin. With a professional background in classical pastry baking, Yadi is passionate about everything specialty coffee and loves the cultural ritual of fika.
Yadi frequently travels to Sweden and Denmark, visiting bakeries, specialty roasters, and coffee festivals to learn and see what ideas can be served at Fika Cafe. He is the 2017 Toronto Aeropress Champion and placed 8th overall in the 2018 Canadian National Barista Championship.
At Fika, Yadi offers a curated pour-over menu on weekdays, highlighting the bright, complex flavors of light-roasted specialty beans.
Since 2026, we have expanded our dedication to coffee quality by roasting our own beans. Under our sister brand, Lycka Coffee Roasters, we roast in small batches using a cutting-edge Stronghold S7x smart roaster right here at the cafe.
This allows us to control the roast profile for each origin, bringing out optimal sweetness, clean acidity, and rich floral notes in every cup. You can buy bags of Lycka Coffee Roasters whole beans at the cafe bar or online in our Web Store.
