Who says Swedish food can only be found at a certain furniture store?  At Fika, you can find all that and more. Comfort is key here, as the name of the establishment suggests. Fika is a Swedish custom that signifies a special time set aside to bond with loved ones over a hot beverage and some snacks. At their café, meals for kids are available, as is a play area for the little ones to enjoy.

The best things in life aren’t always free, sometimes they’re sweet! And when you need a sweet fix, what’s better than gelato?

Kick back and relax over a milkshake and sandwiches, as the kids go wild with glee. Visit them at Turf Club Road.
