If you love quality food, you will love Fika. The food was amazing and beautifully presented, without doubt the best place for food in Cockermouth. Yes its a bit more expensive than other local restaurants but you get what you pay for. The setting is quirky, low level lighting and candles and the service was attentive. There were only 4 tables booked (Fika is not big) so it still had a lovely cosy atmosphere - was disappointing to see this was not fully booked as it was worth every penny. Will definately be back. For an idea of prices Brie starter £8 Venison £27 Sticky toffee pudding £8 Bottle of Chile Merlot £22

Really lovely food and drinks. Different to what you can get elsewhere I had the raspberry and mango smoothie and the corn fritters with halloumi. They let me swap out the poached eggs for scrambled no problem and it was so tasty. I also had a pumpkin spice latte which was lovely to be able to get all year round. Staff were pleasant and food and drink came quickly. Far superior to the likes of Starbucks which is filthy and unfriendly. Please support these local gems instead.

We held our friend's 50th birthday celebration here on a Friday evening. The evening menu is on the pricey side but was delicious and the service and the ambience was perfect. They allowed us to put our own decorations up and were great with our big group. Great venue for a special occasion!

Quaint coffee shop in the heart of Cockermouth town, lovely atmosphere inside and food options were great. A lovely little place for a coffee and breakfast, whether you’re looking for a full English or smashed avocado. Dog friendly too!

Small, friendly cafe/restaurant just off the main High Street. Great menu, great coffee! Highly recommend the ‘Bert’ (think BLT but better!)

Came here for breakfast with friends. I had the eggs on toast with extra chorizo & halloumi. It was absolutely amazing. My friends had the breakfast hash which they enjoyed too. Unfortunately I didn’t like my coffee, it had a really odd taste, hence only 4 out of 5.

Enjoyed breakfast, though the lass who served us was quite abrupt in her manner, to the point that both of us said it felt we were being told off - especially when asked "you finished with that teapot?!" There's ways and means to ask and you were serving grown adults, not kids. Decent breakfast, just sort the clutter around the alcove towards the back of the cafe.

Our Airbnb owners recommended this fabulous little restaurant. Two very cheerful welcoming women greeted and served us and we felt very at home. Food was excellent and I recommend you stop by.

Just cake available for food by the time we arrived, but that was fine. Plenty to choose from, some with more unusual flavours. Friendly and helpful staff. Cakes and coffee delicious. LOVED the 'ceiling decoration' of a large birch tree branch!

We came here for a milkshake. I had the chocolate orange one which was quite nice. My daughter had the strawberry one which was nice but the syrup hadn't been mixed in properly so it was a bit lumpy which was a bit off putting.

This used to be Merienda, but has changed ownership and become Fika. I decided to have a look and try one of their interesting looking meals, which looked different to normal lunchtime fare. I settled on the Fika Brunch, which is hot smoked salmon, hummus, melba toast, spinach and poached eggs. Quite an interesting mixture and while the portions could have been bigger, it tasted very nice and at £12, not too bad these days. Also the staff were friendly and the service was good. Apart from their unique daytime menu, Fika sell a good range of craft beers and sell a large variety of cakes at the till. I think this cafe is a worthy successor to the popular Merienda.

Really enjoyed our evening meal at Fika. Very high quality, beautifully cooked and seasoned food. Substantial portion sizes too! Had a great chat with the chef who is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he's doing, ensuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Sadly the food wasn't great, and the coffee was bitter and watery. Other cafes in Cockermouth serve better coffee. I can't fault the service which was prompt and friendly. I like the cafe inside but some parts are looking a bit 'tired', particularly the toilet.

Coffee and cinnamon pastry were lovely. Staff were friendly. Enjoyed the laidback slow service. Personally, I think the toilets needed some attention., they felt shabby and not quite clean. Not up to the standard of the rest of the cafe.
