Highlight was delicious salmon bagel. Staff very nice. Coffee okay but too darkly roasted/ bitter for me. Cramped inside with some uncomfortable wooden bench seating, but nice working or chatting space.

Having driven past this quirky coffee shop many times on my visits to Leeds I was delighted to be able to visit (finally!) and was not disappointed . The service was friendly and quick. It is obviously very popular. My coffee and pain au raisin were both delicious. We were able to park around the corner . The decor is fun I hope to visit again soon.

Quality of food: We ordered a flat white, ham and cheese bagel (special), and a lemon loaf. Flat white was strong but not bitter, bagel was pretty big and really good. Lemon loaf was a bit too sweet but pairs well with the coffee. Service: Nice friendly staff who are also extremely efficient. Our food and drinks took only about 5mins to arrive. Kudos to them!

Good coffee, great bagels, and not a bad selection of pastries. Service is friendly and worthy of 5 stars.

I've been tempted by this cafe for quite some time but have always felt that it would be too busy. In truth, I've also felt a little intimidated because it gives "trending on Tik Tok" vibes and I'm just not sure I'm cool enough for such venues! However, I needn't have worried - me and my boyfriend were the coolest there by a country mile. We got a table inside. We weren't greeted with open arms by the staff, but maybe they were busy. Swept off their feet, even. I'd say price wise it was on the more expensive side so my companion and I decided to share a small cake. We got the kinder Bueno "brookie" which I believe to be some sort of wild mash up of cookie and brownie. What will they think of next!?!?!? The brookie was nice enough - all 3 mouthfuls of it, at least. I also had a hot chocolate which was pretty good. We dipped into some literature while sipping on our drinks, exploring the art of fika and getting to grips with the history and cultural significance behind it. We then read each other some sonnets. A deeply poetic moment for a deeply romantic couple. I'd say it is worth a visit if in the area but gentrified cafes like this often present themselves as better than they are. Nice to sit outside though with a coffee I imagine! Watching that world go by.

Nice, but very slow. Waited 20mins for a coffee to go, which they got wrong.

Fika never disappoints. The bagels are always 100/10 and the hot chocolate is one of the best in Leeds. Their coffee is amazing too. Also as a die hard carnivore I decided to expand my horizons and try their vegan special bagel that they have on the menu for veganuary and you know what, it was delicious. I'd even go as far as to say it's the best bagel I've tried off the menu. Asked for a beagle with double everything today and chef delivered🤤🤤

Out for a sunday strole and we planned a coffee visit half way at Fika because their coffee is the best. We walked past 3 other coffee places to get coffee here but waited 20minutes for a takeaway Piccalo (its was busy and a few people had already been co.plai i h of their wait).... when I asked how much longer must I wait I was told "ill make them now" a full 20minutes after paying... now if you know there's a 20m wait then why not just tell everyone that when they're are ordering? At least that way you set the expecation! A few minutes later they were done however made with diary milk when I specifically asked and paid for Pea milk due to allergies... needless yo say i left pissed with a refund and no coffee. I still love Fika but please consider train g the staff to be quicker.

Came with high hopes and were very disappointed… One of our group went in to ask for a table and was rudely and abruptly told no. Went to order outside and got a ‘fresh’ orange juice poured straight out of a carton, for £3! The apple juice was warm and staff were very rude overall. Would not recommend.

Staff were lovely and friendly, coffee was delicious, but I was waiting for a single halloumi bagel for 25 minutes on a Monday! Cafe wasn’t busy in the slightest, so I’m not sure what took so long. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re in a rush!

The food was lovely but some of the staff could do with learning some basic social skills. I stood at the counter for about five minutes when I arrived (hoping to be seated) whilst the two staff members behind the counter completely ignored me. They weren’t serving anyone else. They just couldn’t be bothered it seemed. I Moved myself to be ‘more visible’ but that didn’t do anything either. Waited a little longer, one of the guys behind the counter made eye contact with me a couple of times, I smiled but he still didn’t say a word and went back to wiping his mug. Eventually I approached a waiter and asked for a table. The kind waiter cleared a table and seated me. Worse things have definitely happened out there but being blatantly ignored by two members of staff on arrival surely made my experience here quite uncomfortable from the get go. Food was good but I’d prefer to go somewhere friendlier next time.

Little cosy place for bagels, coffee abd cakes. The bagels are huge so was happy to pay the price as it is not the cheapest for a bagel. But it is definitely worth it and try their specials.

Good addition to the local Far Headingley scene. Very pleasant staff, making excellent coffee. Range of cakes including some vegan stuff. Update June 2022 - still going well, good coffee and great range of sandwiches etc. Always seems busy. Updated November 2023 - excellent quality food, very good coffees etc. Not the cheapest - but nowhere is at the moment. Take care when paying on the contactless terminal - I inadvertently added a tip ( not undeserved however) without even knowing! Must have brushed the touch pad as I paid. Service a little slow given number of staff working. Overall good. Worth a look.

A recent find for me, Fika North is a fantastic cafe that serves up quality coffee and deserves all the support it can get. Even the baked goods on offer tasted great. If you’re in the area and don’t want to risk a bad cup of caffeine, you can count on Fika to sort you out.

Banging bagels, great coffee and reasonable prices. Try to make it in time for a seat and you are rewarded with a warm atmosphere and the beautiful smell of fresh coffee. The pastrami bagel was well presented and well filled. Sriracha Prawns was an inspired flavour and I would definatley pay for the added hash browns. Stick them in a bagel and you won’t be disappointed

Finally we managed to visit Fika. We ordered flat white - as always when we are in new place to test how well the coffee is made. It was ok but nothing special. The danish pastry looked deliciuos thats why we decided to try it, however it must be very old as was very very dry so one of the worse we ever had. Well, I dont think we will be back.

After hearing great reviews, we decided to visit Fika on Sunday afternoon. There was a slight queue but we waited for a table. We sat down after 10-15 minutes of waiting and instantly felt like the staff were completely uninterested in us. We had to ask to put our order in after waiting for 15 minutes and when our order finally arrived, the bagel was missing. After waiting a bit longer, we asked the staff member where it was and he said that he would check. We completely understand that it was a busy day but the bagel finally came out 45 minutes after ordering with no real explanation as to why there was a delay. It’s worth mentioning that the coffee, bagel and pastry were lovely but the service was really unfriendly and disappointing which unfortunately has put us off returning again.

Great little coffee shop with pastries and savoury options on offer.. I didn’t get to find out the roasters they use but the coffee is excellent and they definitely enjoy their craft. Service is very friendly and coffee is reasonably priced. We ordered an oat flat white an oat decaf cappuccino and an oat latte. There was a slightly longer wait for drinks once ordered but this was not a huge issue with seating available outside and poke stops and gyms nearby to keep you entertained whilst waiting. We went back the following day as the coffee here is worth the 30 minute walk there and back to where we were staying.

Super friendly staff, really good coffee (flat white or a long black are what I've had).
