Fika, by the sea
Swedish-inspired, Adelaide-made.
Most of what you eat here starts at our bakery in Port Adelaide. We bake with cardamom, cream, berries and rye, and buy from South Australian growers where we can.
The menu is Swedish at heart, built around how Adelaide eats: crumpets, eggs benny and smashed avocado next to Swedish crepes, Skagen and meatballs. Cakes and pastries are made by hand every day.

Swedish traditions
Swedish by nature.
Swedish food is slow by nature. Coffee, cardamom, cream, berries and rye, shared with people you like. We cook the things we grew up with, alongside the brunch Adelaide comes for.
Every day
Fika
Coffee, something baked, and a pause in the day. In Sweden it is simply a habit.
