Fika, the Swedish way.
Fika is a daily pause: a cup, something baked, and a reason to sit down.
What fika means
Fika is both a noun and a verb. You can take a fika, or you can fika. It means coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, cream and company. Nobody hurries it.
In Sweden it is part of the day. A proper fika usually includes something baked: a cinnamon bun, a cardamom bun, a slice of Princess cake, or a semla in February.
How we fika
At Swedish Tarts, fika looks like a flat white and a cinnamon bun, a slice of Princess cake, or a semla in February. Everything is baked at our Port Adelaide bakery and served at our Semaphore and Glenelg cafés.
Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining areas, with snacks and water bowls.
Where to fika
Semaphore, Glenelg or the Port Adelaide bakery. Each has its own hours and its own phone number.
