Mercato Di Luigi Italian Cafe

With several locations around the city, neighborhood grocer and cafe, Mercato di Luigi, is a great place to stop for a coffee, snack or even lunch!

You can pickup cheese or slices of meat. The daily specials change so check with the staff.

You can order at the front then sit down and they'll bring your order to your table.

The Italian restaurant/cafe has a nice atmosphere with beautiful decor and friendly staff.

We enjoyed the little touches like a heart cookie served with the Cappuccino!

The dessert - like the Maritozzo was filled with cream to order. The same with the cornetto which was filled with Nutella!

Visit Mercato Di Luigi for some delicious Italian food and dessert! Their Italian coffee is perfect for a coffee break.

Don't forget your snacks!

FIKA Cafe Toronto

 

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.

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.

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!

Don't forget your snacks!
