Cafe Coffee shop

😐 Coffee and cinnamon bun are good 4/5. Cappuccino I think better than Latte. Service is meh... Baristas were not polite and not smiling. When I come for a cap of coffee I also come for a good mood. I really had bigger expectations for the place. People often mention coffee, cinnamon, good, nice, delicious, Brussels, garden, buns, cake, cappuccino,

    Unfortunately, my cappuccino tasted like black coffee with a bit of milk foam. The cake was great! The staff was super friendly, and nice. But yeah, hygiene is not top priority here.

    Cutest coffee shop!! & gluten free options were sooo yummy. Only downside is that there wasn’t a lot of seating but we got lucky

    "Fika" is the Swedish word for the concept of taking a break while drinking coffee accompanied with a sweet treat and/ or a good chat. I think it is the perfect name for this café. It is a little hidden gem, the kind of coffee place I would like to see more in Brussels. . They focus on good, fresh coffee and homemade (delicious) baked goods. You go there to enjoy your cup and a snack in a calming and lovely atmosphere. Especially if the weather is nice, you can sit in the backyard as if you were in your own garden.

    Good coffee, homemade treats and a cosy ambience is what you get at Fika! I’ve previously tried their cinnamon buns but this time grabbed a slice of their almond-poppy seed-dark chocolate cake (gluten free) and absolutely devoured every bite. The cafe has a charming terrace with little benches strewn around.

    Coffee and Iced Tea didn't taste like anything and cinnamon roll doesn't have a single resemblance of an authentic cinnamon roll that I've been tasted in Sweden or any Skandinavian countires.. It was cold and the texture was like chewing a piece of paper.. interior design and ambiance were also so casual and had not many seats for the customers.. the only positive point was the friendly staffs.

    Honestly the best cup of coffee I have found in Brussels. This coffee shop is quaint and cozy, with a beautiful little backyard to enjoy the great coffee and a good book. I look forward to going every weekend for a nice relaxing morning. Highly recommend!

    Extremely cozy atmosphere with nice backyard area where you can read a book or chill with friends, but the coffee is not good - it tasted way too acidic, which is a real shame. Haven't tried the pastries, they looked delicious so I may come back to try them and drink something else with it. If you come just for the coffee, however, you most likely will be disappointed.

    All the pastries are self-made on the spot, and super delicious. Coffee is great. The place is often full so there's hard to find a place to sit.

    Cosy intimate garden. The chairs aren't very comfy. Coffee is very good but pastries I didn't like as much

    Located on a side street in one of the local foodie neighbourhoods, Fika is a beautiful outlet for a simple and relaxing moment. Meaning "coffee break" in Sweden, Fika also incorporates a Swedish coziness into its interior design with a degree of Belgian elegance. I got a cinnamon bun here, not exactly like what I used to have in Stockholm but definitely a sweet treat after a whole day walking around the city. I look forward to have a full "fika" experience when I visit Brussels next time!

    The mocha is an absolute joke. It’s literally a giant cup of extremely milky/watery/sweet hot chocolate with a shot of espresso. Maybe some people like it this way, but if you are looking for proper Swedish coffee, save yourself the heartache and look somewhere else.

    My favorite café out of all the places I visited in Europe. It’s small and away from the city center, but it’s a peaceful and warm place. The owner is extremely friendly and bakes all the goods herself. The prices are so reasonable for coffee and pastries in Brussels, and I felt the need to leave a tip because of how much I enjoyed my breakfast and being able to calmly plan my day trip in the city. If I’m ever in Brussels again, I will most definitely make the trek out here.

    The coffees were just ok. The cafe shop can barely accommodate 10/15 people properly. Infact it’s so cosy that one needs to place their jacket, scarf, bag etc on their respective laps.

    One of the best coffee places in Brussels. Beware that the place is tiny. Cinnamon rolls are delicious. Quick service for take away. Very much recommended.

  • 3/5 Alice H. 2 years ago on Google
    I would really love to give 5*, cause the space is very cozy and the coffee is pretty good, however, the cinnamon buns were unfortunately pretty dry. Will come back regardless, but probably not for the buns. Edit: I have to lower to 3 stars, the service is honestly not very nice. I've seen worse, but... definitely much much better.

    Very good coffee, i tried latte and cappuccino. Quick service for takeaway drinks.

  • 4/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google • 77 reviews
    One of the good coffee shops in Brussels. We have been here twice now. The coffee is amazing. The price is very reasonable. The only disadvantage I find of this place is the seating area. There is not a lot of seating area. But besides that it is an amazing coffee house. We also tried the cashew cake which was also very delicious.

  • 5/5 Belen R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice cosy cafe! Delicious capuccino and 🍪! They have a very large backyard that's very welcome in times of Corona.

    Most excellent coffee. Cool little place. Wish it was summer, so that i could sit in the back garden

  • 3/5 M S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a cappuccino and cinnamon bun here. A cappuccino is supposed to be steaming hot, but mine was lukewarm. It tasted okay. The cinnamon bun was okay too. Friendly, okay-ish service. Inside area is rather small. Outside seating area/garden is beautiful. I'd come back here for that, and not so much for the coffee.

  • 3/5 Simona M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cardamon and cinnamon buns are dry and not like in Stockholm :( tea and coffee good and staff is very friendly but the placeis unauthentic tome and a bit shabby, it might have been cool sometimes but needs redecoration or just a bit more authenticity. It seems like a preferred place for locals though but nothing like Sweden to me...

  • 5/5 Eugene K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy coffee shop with home atmosphere and tasty cappuccino

  • 5/5 Sofya T. 8 months ago on Google

    Best cinnamon rolls in town ! Just need to go early to make sure they don’t run out - would love it if you were open on Sunday’s !

  • 5/5 Constantin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, cinnamon buns slightly dry and not moist enough but still really good!

  • 5/5 Goran L. 5 years ago on Google
    Semla. Get it here! The best place for premium quality coffee and finest desserts. Cosy place to enjoy your daily coffee and to please your sweet tooth. When warmer and sunny, enjoy it all in the fine garden with a view to the lical church. Get here, you will not regret it!

    Delicious coffee, tried almost all of the kinds they have and loved them all! Everything is beautifully presented, staff is super nice, speaks English, and they also have baked goods to go with coffee. Will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Avinash C. 10 months ago on Google
    Great Cappuccino and cinnamon buns! Definitely worth a visit when in need of both … or just one or the other.

  • 5/5 Greg W. 10 months ago on Google
    The coffee was spectacular! I had a wonderful cappuccino and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was also great. The service was super friendly and quick. This is the best coffee I have had in Belgium! I will be back for sure. It would be nice to have a little better furniture in the garden but still 5 stars for sure.

  • 5/5 Mariana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Simple and cozy coffee shop. All baked goodies are great, but if you must choose, do go for a delicious cookie. One the best one in town... (sign AKA "Cookie Monster")

  • 5/5 Stella M. 1 year ago on Google
    Cutest little café. Seating inside is very limited and it is usually crowded. They serve one of the best hot chocolates in town.

    (Translated by Google) The only good coffee we could drink in Brussels (the one usually served is too light for our taste). The pastries made you want.

I fell in love with the chocolate / almond / poppy cake which is just a killing, I could eat it every day, it's so good! (Original) Beaucoup trop fan de leurs pâtisseries! J'ai tout goûté et c'est toujours gourmand à souhait. Gros coup de cœur pour le cake chocolat/amande/pavot qui est juste une tuerie, je pourrais en manger tous les jours tellement c'est bon !

  • 5/5 K C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bar cafes and teas nice and cozy. Some home-made sweets are also a la carte. A must for a coffee break or a snack. The lemon cake will not leave you indifferent (I did not dare to taste the others). The small niches create an "intimate" atmosphere. It is difficult to get a place for groups given the size of the place but not for three or four people. Fika has a garden, in summer, you no longer feel like you're in Brussels. (Original) Bar a cafés et thés sympa et cosy. Quelques pâtiseries maisons sont également à la carte. Un incontournable pour une pause café ou un goûter. Le cake au citron ne vous laissera pas de marbre (je n'ai pas osé goûté les autres). Les petites niches créent une atmosphère "intimes". Il est difficile d'obtenir une place pour les groupes vu la superficie du lieu mais pas pour trois ou quatre personnes. Fika dispose d'un jardin, en été, vous n'avez plus l'impression de vous trouver à Bruxelles.
