Nana's Green Tea

Nana's Green Tea

Nana's Green Tea is a Japanese cafe/restaurant not only offering Matcha drinks and desserts but Japanese food too.

You order on the kiosks at the front of the restaurant and can sit in or get takeout. If you need any Kiosk help, you can ask the staff (We had a little trouble removing items in our order).

Their Japanese Curry with Chicken Karaage was delicious.

FIKA Cafe Toronto

 

FIKA Cafe

We enjoyed our visit to the Swedish inspired cafe, FIKA Cafe! Located in the neighborhood of Kensington in Toronto, Canada, FIKA means slowing down to enjoy a coffee break that may or may not include something sweet.

Living in Sweden, we learned to appreciate the Swedish tradition of Fika and were excited to check out a cafe with the name, FIKA! The cafe features outdoor areas and indoor seating, so you can sit in the sunshine or stay cozy inside.

As for the cafe's sweet offerings, one can find Swedish-style Cinnamon buns, that is made with cardamom like the traditional version and  cookies like their Matcha cookie.

FIKA Cafe

There is a beautifully decorated wall of books inside. It's great spot for a photo backdrop. 

Inside there is also frozen items for sale like swedish cinnamon buns and merchandise for sale.

FIKA Cafe

The service was friendly and buns were pretty good. 

If you're a local or just visiting Toronto and looking for nice spot for a fika or coffee break, check out FIKA Cafe!
