Award-winning New Nordic cafe at the American Swedish Institute. Named "Best Lunch in Minnesota" and "Best Place to Dine out with your Kids."
FIKA is the American Swedish Institute's award-winning New Nordic inspired cafe. Named "Best Lunch in Minnesota" by the Star Tribune. Our Outdoor Courtyard is one of the hidden gems of the Twin Cities' dining scene.
We offer fresh baked goods and coffee starting at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays. Lunch service from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday.
After Work Wednesday, a Nordic-inspired happy hour and dinner service from 3 until 9 p.m.
From espresso and pastries to farm-fresh salads and open-face sandwiches, FIKA features traditional Swedish delicacies alongside modern interpretations of the New Nordic Cuisine.
With the Turnblad Mansion in full view, guests dining at FIKA can choose from an ever changing seasonal menu dedicated to our regional ingredients and Nordic traditions.
In Sweden, "fika" is a daily break, traditionally involving coffee and treats. Fika is about much more than caffeine and carbohydrates. It's a Swedish social institution, where friends sit down and chat about life and current events.
