In Swedish, FIKA is a verb, meaning “to go out for coffee,” and a noun – “coffee break.” With a simple yet fresh décor including exposed beams and brickwork, FIKA Café, in the heart of Toronto’s Kensington Market, is airy, quaint, and full of light. While enjoying FIKA’s signature cardamon spiced latte or lavender white hot chocolate, you can take photographs of the colorful paintings and plants by the windows – or the most unique feature of all, an entire wall of books.

Both locations of Bobbette & Belle are beautiful, from the décor to the impeccably decorated cakes that are this café’s specialty. The co-founders of this small but steadily expanding operation, Sarah Bell and Allyson Bobbitt, met while both were teaching at a confectionary arts school. Together, they have created a dreamy space in which to enjoy a scone or a decadent slice of cake with your tea or coffee – or you can grab a little bag of peanut brittle, pastel-colored marshmallows, or meringues to savor on the go.
