I actually waited a whole year for fika to have their semla buns again! These buns are only offered from January to easter and all I can say, the wait was worth it!The buns when you first bite into it feels like a normal bready bun, and then the whipping cream starts to make it a little better and then you hit that thick layer of almond frangipane and that bun with all three elements was the perfect bite! This would definitely be a happy Easter if I had these buns every day!The decor of the coffee shop is very “ikea” like which further emphasizes the Swedish lifestyle. And that is something I could go into every day as well!Service was on point. Patient and a nice roast of beans as well. Really smooth and will definitely be back again for the coffee throughout the year! If I have to wait another year for those semla buns, I’m definitely waiting for that return!Great job overall!Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content!

Great vibe, coffee was good. It's got some really nice spots for some cool pictures too. Music was the perfect volume so that it wasn't silent but you could speak without raising your voice. It could use a bit more tables inside.

Visited today and really enjoyed it! The oat latte I had was absolutely delicious, super foamy and creamy. My breakfast sandwich was super good too and reasonably priced. The seating was limited but we were able to get a good spot. Service was good though there was only one girl so it was a bit slow. Bathroom was single stall which is great! Not accessible though

This is a super cute little cafe in Kensington Market. I was most looking forward to trying the swedish cinnamon buns, as cinnamon buns are my jam, but I was so disappointed. They were really bland and lacking in any flavour other than a lot of cardamom and just a bit of cinnamon. I like my cinnamon buns soft and ooey gooey with lots of cinnamon flavour, and this was not it.The saving grace here was the coffee, and I would give them a 5/5 on that front. The cardamom latte was definitely something to write home about, and I would come back just for that.

My favourite hot chocolate in the city as well as a great selection of coffee beans! Also, they sell their super yummy cardamom cinnamon buns frozen for you to bake at home. I UberEats’d a pack of these during a quarantine once, and it helped get me through. And finally, the staff here are always so friendly. This place is a gem!

My cortado was perfect and the cardamom chai latte was pretty great too. Milk texture for both drinks was just right. Only enough room for 4 people in the cafe for dine in right now, so we took our drinks to go. One thing to note is that the cafe is not AODA compliant. Access is via a steep set of stairs so be warned.

Excellent coffee. The atmosphere is beautiful, their wall of books is incredible. The staff is very friendly and quick to fill your order. The outdoor patio in the front is an amazing people watching spot.

Really cute coffee shop with nice seating area in front. Cardamom latte was delicious and will need to come back to try the cinnamon bun.

The best Semla this side of the Atlantic. We just had a hetvägg and loved it. ....coming back soon

Great Place wonderful coffee.
