Fika Café is a Swedish inspired coffee shop and bakery located in Toronto's Kensington market.

“Originally used as a Swedish verb meaning “to go out for coffee,” the word fika can also be used as a noun: “coffee break”. It is standard in Sweden to invite friends to fika every few hours during the work day. One’s coffee is normally accompanied with a small snack such as a cinnamon bun or a piece of cake. Our logo is represented by the Dala horse, which is a symbol of Sweden.”

This photoshoot was a collaboration between food photographer Joanna Wojewoda and myself, for the purpose of showcasing our favourite local cafes and eateries.
