Cafe Fika in Moray

Very welcoming pretty and relaxed cafe. We enjoyed lunch and yummy bakes as well as refills of filter coffee as all good fika should be! The owner is very friendly, eager to make your experience warm and enjoyable. Attractive layout.

We visited the Fika cafe recently while on holiday in the area. We initially received a warm welcome. We ordered two cappuccino coffees and a scone. The coffees were very nice and well presented. Unfortunately our experience went down hill from there.There were two seats at the window which we went to sit at. We were advised that these seats were reserved for 2 pm. This was about 1.40 pm so we went to other seats in case the people came in early.The cafe is very small and there is not a lot of space.We ended up taking two seats next to the till area which was raised above the floor area below.Two apparently regular customers were sat in the corner. The proprietor / employee had an ongoing conversation over our head with these customers to our total exclusion. This conduct totally undermined the initial friendly welcome and made us feel awkward and keen to leave. We would not recommend this cafe as a result and would not visit again.

So if you're going to open a cafe I think the first thing you would do is think " What would I think would be the ideal cafe?". You might think of keeping food affordable.always having beautiful vegan and gluten free options without acting like you're a saint or a genius for doing so.Maybe you would lose some potential profit here and there by using tasty high quality often locally produced organic ingredients. You might put the same effort and standard into the coffee choice too. You'd probably like to give decent portions knowing from experience that skimpiness can make even the mightiest cake leave a bad taste in your mouth. If you're not an ars*h** you'd most likely want the place to be inclusive and tolerant. Usually folk start out idealistic but compromise their initial idea for one reason or other. Cafe Fika is the embodiment of these ideals.Im a regular and I can't praise it enough

Lovely bright cafe with traditional Swedish bakes and a great choice of fresh ground coffees. FREE .. Refils on request. . Arange of cakes and bakes with a Swedish stykle.

My girlfriend and called into this fab little gem of a cafe off the High St in Forres for a catch up natter. It is really lovely with great coffee and delicious home made cakes, scones and soup. Though it is small it is really nicely decorated and a lovely environment to meet and chat.

just went into cafe fika in forres what a lovely place, coffee great as well as the cake and diffrent loose leaf teas

Lovely and clean. Owners very friendly. Vegetarian. Food was nice but possibly a wee bit expensive for what you get, even though it was homemade

Lovely couple. Good for coffee and a chat. Delicious snacks. Nice selection of teas. Neat and clean.

Unfortunately can’t comment on anything other than the very rude “welcome” we received on entering the cafe. In fact we were asked to leave as we had our baby with us, a rule they have apparently always enforced and when we asked why that was we were told there doesn’t have to be a reason. Certainly won’t return even without our baby and wouldn’t recommend this strange little place.

Came here today for a wee spot of lunch with a friend. It was excellent. We both opted for soup. Spicy tomato & lentil. Well tasty. The star however was the tea. Best brew in Forres. A very friendly & welcoming cafe which celebrates being different but welcoming. Highly recommend.

Went in on Thursday desperate for the toilet, asked nicely if I could I was informed customers only I explained I have medical issues to be informed “ go to the pub across the road “ this was very embarrassing and upsetting as I am registered disabled, I’d have understood if they were busy however only one elderly lady having a coffee or tea, i thought this was a complete lack of common courtesy had the local toilets not been closed down I’d never have went in just for the loo and I found it strange she would see it acceptable to send me elsewhere when she wasn’t prepared to let me use the toilet there

I don’t often visit Forres but I cycled from Elgin and fancied a cup of tea before I set off back. I am not vegetarian but I am not averse to trying something different. I had a cup of tea and a slice of apple cake. The tea is served in a large mug and is leaf tea, it tasted really good and better than your average. The Apple cake was moist and full of flavour. The surroundings are very pleasant and relaxing, I will definitely come back. It was £4.90 for the tea and cake which I think is good value for money especially for the quality of the product.

Do visit. Lovely couple. Ethical cafe. Nice vegetarian options. Good tea and coffee. Homemade food. Clean and pleasant place for a chat.

Nice coffee, good hot chocolate (not the over-sweet stuff), a great choice of specialist teas, lovely home baked sourdough bread, soup, quiche, cinnamon rolls, (on varying days) and always delicious sweet treats made (I'm guessing by their taste) with the best ingredients.

The cosy, simple decor makes for a welcoming, comforting atmosphere. The owners are friendly and efficient. This is exactly how a coffee shop should be. Coffee and food both excellent.

A lovely cafe in Forres. Modern Swedish style decor with a welcoming feel. Yummy Swedish style cakes. Serves a small menu of nice sounding vegetarian wholefoods, though we were only in for tea and cakes. Definitely will visit again.

Been meaning to review here for a while as it has been consistently good on each trip and each person I have taken has enjoyed the experience. Don’t come expecting the same thing that every other coffee shop offers - come here for something a little different - home cooked bakes, soup and quiche with a menu that changes daily.

if you want an excellent simple coffee and delicios home made cakes, this is the place. The owners are very gentle and reserved people. I really enjoy to stay here, you feel very comfortable. The products offered are not many, so you may not make mistake, what ever they have is just good and genuine. Vegan and organic friendly.

Delicious, organic coffee, tea and bites to eat. Amazing home made quiche and desserts. It is a great meet up place with friends or just to turn off your phone and unwind. Service is friendly, warm and decor is modern and comfortable. The owners paid attention to every detail, from the spoons and mugs to the tables and chairs. There is free, public parking just right down the street as well.

You’re guaranteed a warm welcome and fresh homemade food at Cafe Fika if you amble down Tollbooth Street. It’s signposted from the High Street so you can’t go wrong.

We had the soup of the day, homemade banana cake and the organic coffee. Everything was great and the stuff is very friendly. A place which you have to visit.

Visited last weekend with my family. This was the strangest cafe I have ever been to.

We called in for a coffee. This is a stylish looking Scandinavian inspired cafe. We asked for a latte and an expresso. We were told that they only did filter coffee, (like the Danish have apparently) so that's what we had. The owner put on a fresh pot and we were offered a free refill. We were asked if we wanted anything to eat, but to be honest I could only see a rather sad scone and some dry slices of bread, so declined. (I checked the menu and there seems only to be one choice of meal per day. Very strange).

First visit last week and I will be back. Lovely to see a great alternative to flooding my coffee with masses of steamed milk - filter coffee served from which you can choose between the House Blend, a single origin or decaf.

Good coffee, peaceful and great with people with food intolerances. Nice teas, clean environment - best place in Forres.

Imagine a cafe with just filter coffee. No latte, mocha, espresso or any other way of dispensing caffeine. Go here and it’s filter coffee only. It’s also been brewed for a while. The option is small cup with free refill, or large cup. Both about the same price.

Stopped by Cafe Fika in Forres on way back to Inverness airport following a trip to catch up with family in the area. Such tasty scones with jam and extremely good coffee, just the pick up we needed. Unfortunately I dropped my bracelet in the cafe but only realised when I reached the airport which was found thank you so much for your honesty it was of much sentimental value to me. Thanks will definitely be back to thank you personally.

Such a cute little cafe in the middle of Forres. I highly recommend this Swedish style café with its homebred cakes and free refill coffee! :)

High quality food and drink served by very friendly, warm and welcoming people in a comfortable place. Down a little side street but well worth seeking out. Recommended.

I go here almost every day. It's a little gem of a place. Similar to the Nordic Bakery in Marylebone. Wonderful, unusual baking and they make their own cinnamon buns on Fridays. Decor is lovely and the service is excellent. Beautiful illustrations by Swedish illustrators...

I went here on a sunny morning, and really enjoyed my tea and the little hazelnut cookie. The place is really nice and cute, and I would love to go again and taste some more Swedish treat :)

Down the side street this scandanavian cafe is the perfect place to take a coffee with cake or a snack lunch .The coffee is refilled as you wish and the cakes and pastries are made on the premises.Forres is not a town of stress but...

It seems a nice wee place and the staff are pleasant. However, the policy of not having an actual price list isn't necessarily helpful. Being charged £10 for two half full bowls of soup on Saturday came as quite a surprise. It seemed quite excessive...

Sorprendido y muy contento de encontrar una cafetería pequeña y dulce en Forres tales. Brillantes y alegres alrededores, buen café y muy buena calidad de pasteles caseros y galletas. Mantenerlo con gente encantadora, estás haciendo un gran trabajo!!

La calidad de este café es excelente: el lugar, la comida, el café. Todo es tan limpio, tan puro y tan sabroso. Podía simplemente deseo que eran más grandes, con más comida. Gente encantadora. Gracias!

Un poco de Escandinavia en el norte de Escocia. Escondido en una calle lateral, cerca del museo, si no eres local de Forres o utilizando tripadvisor, fácilmente podría perderse. Y eso sería una pena. Está muy bien presentado, el té y los pasteles son estupendas y está muy limpio. Administrar el truco de ser tanto chic nórdica y acogedor al mismo tiempo, merece la pena una visita.

Amazing coffee in a beautiful cafe. Really relaxing space with soothing jazz on the the stereo whilst we were there. We will be back next time we are in Forres.

In my opinion, it is without doubt the best option to drink a cup of coffee (or more, because of the free refilling) and a piece of cake in Forres. It has a very confortable atmosphere.

Lovely relaxed and peaceful vibe. Homemade quiches and scones as well as cakes. All look lovely.Free refills means you can sit and drink coffee while you read the paper.

Love this place. Cosy and welcoming with excellent coffee and a free refill. Food is simple and delicious. Just off the high street with good parking nearby. I particularly recommend the home made cinnnamon buns.

Great little, welcoming cafe. Bright and clean with very friendly staff. Really good coffee with top ups available at no extra charge. Small selection of cakes and biscuits which are excellent.

The welcome here is great and the soups and cakes are wonderful. The menu is limited, but generally just what you'd want. Every detail of the decor, the crockery, the dishes - it's all been well thought through for excellent results. And the staff can't do enough from home baking, to free refills, to tips on Scandinavian culture and design. The place is peaceful and cheery and perfect for lunch or a snack.

Just a stroll down Tollbooth Street, which goes downhill from the High Street. Small but perfectly-formed. Delightfully furnished and decorated, even the loo is lovely! Tasty coffee, with top-up included. Delicious cakes and biscuits are made from Swedish recipes. The quiche is yummy. All made on the premises and served by the owners. This is my cafe of choice whenever I am shopping in Forres.

Lovely coffee and cakes. Traditional Swedish cakes, tasted so delicious and full of texture.The quiche is so light, base is lovely and so tasty. This is a lovely place to relax, enjoy the cofee and cake and chat away with your loved ones and friends.

My friend and I regularly meet up at Cafe Fika for coffee and to put the world to rights. We are always greeted with a warm welcome and nothing ever is too much trouble. The coffee is always perfect and I have also tried some of the home bakes which are delicious. This visit I decided to try the hot chocolate for a change ..... yummy, complete with a free refill :) If you are looking for good coffee with peaceful surroundings this is the place to go. I haven't tried the food but it always looks fantastic. Great little cafe and really different to the usual chains of coffee shops.

Charming cafe tucked down a lovely street in Forres, excellent for some quiet contemplation with a choice of coffee that the owners choose particularly for flavour and ethical quality. To be recommended

Nipped in here for lunch. It is always busy, but today only had one person in. Nit loads of space if you are in a wheelchair, but is accessible. Comfy chairs, clean and bright interior. The lady was lovely and friendly. Food choices seem to be a little limited. The only thing available, apart from scones (which looked very yummy) was cheese open sandwiches. They were sat on the counter (surprised they weren't refrigerated) with cling film over the top. They looked very tasty, but cheese on bread isn't my thing. No other sandwiches were available. The lady said that the choice changed each day. Understandable I guess for such a small cafe, to prevent wastage.Bought a sourdough loaf and went home to make a sandwich. The bread was fantastic. However, at £2.50 for only half a small loaf, it is incredibly pricy, and only got 6 thin slices out of it. I would certainly return to have lunch here, were there something other than cheese on offer.

Off the High Street you have to search out this cafe, but it's worth the find. Nicely decorated with a small number of tables and large windows overlooking the street.Coffee and cake are the predominant offerings, but also one savoury option, depending what day it is that can be soup, quiche or a sandwich. The menu is limited but then everything is freshly made on the premises and are mainly organic. Currently open Mon - Frid and every 1st Saturday of the month. Very relaxed especially with the free refills of coffee

A charming small cafe in Forres where you can relax and have a "Fika" (Swedish verb and noun pronounced "fee-ka" that basically implies "drinking coffee", usually accompanied by something sweet).The selection of food is small but it is all produced on the premises daily. The coffee is wonderful and will be filled up discreetly when your cup is empty. You won't find Lattes or Cappucinos or Frappercaramelos or any nonsense, just proper quality coffee some lovely Swedish cakes. Depending you the day you go you will find freshly made quiche, open sandwiches or soup, and if you get your timing right, you'll arrive on the cinnamon bun day :-)Highly recommended, but please don't tell everyone, I still want to be able to get a seat ;-)
