We have just come back from having afternoon tea here today and I cannot thank Val enough. We received a warm welcome, the food was amazing and I am gluten free and felt completely in safe hands with lovely food. Val provide food and gifts for my grandchildren and our friends grandchildren and nothing was too much for her. We are planning a return visit soon, next time child free and with Prosecco-thank you Val for your attentive and caring service.

Traditional cafe, good service, dog friendly, cheap and cheerful food (excellent milkshakes) small indoors but very accommodating for our larger party

The "manager" tore a strip off a poor staff member in front of the whole cafe. Absolutely disgraceful. As a manager myself, there is no way I'd ever speak to my staff like that. The manager even tried to justify her actions when another customer challenged her! I hope the poor girl is OK, I won't ever return.

We were walking past and one of the children had asked for hot chocolate. I popped my head in but there didn’t look as is there was a table available. The owner said don’t worry we will put tables together. The coffees and hot chocolates were lovely and a reasonable price

What a great cafe! We loved it. The service was fantastic and attentive and the food was lovely. The cakes are to die for. Highly recommended.

Went here having been to another establishment in Uppermill where people with allergies were definitely not catered for. The owner of Fika went above and beyond!! One of our family is unable to have dairy or soya due to her 10 month old being intolerant to these ingredients if her mummy has it. We asked about this as there wasn’t anything on the menu about it. The lady explained what was available, how she could cater for her and her little one and that nothing would come into contact with any of the ingredients which affect them. She brought their food out first to ensure that it was kept completely separate. She made up a separate little meal of humour and toast for the little one and checked and double checked ingredients in the pre packed foods she used! Prices also extremely reasonable! We were holidaying in the area but will 100% go back when we are up that way again! Thank you so much.

Poor attitude from the manager/owner. Ordered hot drinks and scones. Given the option of warm or cold scones. We chose warm. After some discussion about whether scones could be warmed due to chips being in the microwave it was decided this was possible. Our drinks arrived but it became increasingly clear that the scones were still waiting for their turn in the microwave. I asked for them to be served cold instead as my drink was going cold. The manager told me I should have asked for drinks to be served with food. I don’t know anybody who orders cake and coffee with the intention of consuming them entirely separately. She clearly felt she had not made her position clear as she came to the table to reiterate that in future I should stipulate that I want my cake at the same time as drinks. I politely informed her that there would not be a return visit. When we asked for the bill she audibly told the waitress she would prepare it but would not bring it over. I was not disappointed by this as another exchange with her was hardly appealing. The environmental is cluttered and as unappealing as the manager.

Tried this place numerous times but have witnessed too many instances now of the owner being rude . Under pressure today but no need to speak to the young waitress as she did ,I found myself feeling really uncomfortable . Insists on having the windows and front door open even when it is chilly. We got up a number of times to shut the door . Customers not allowed to sit where they want to sit ...I could go on So in future we will be giving it a miss

My husband and I visited Fika with our 4 year old granddaughter and my sister over from Germany and her partner who has never been to England before. We’ve all had an amazing time until we called in for lunch at Fika on Monday! We were seated and the smaller menu was explained due to the heat which was fine but then I got out the cheese sandwich I’d prepared for our granddaughter as she prefers this to shop food. As we were about to order the manageress said she didn’t allow food from home to be eaten on the premises, I explained she was just 4 years old and we would be ordering for 4 adults, food and drinks. No this wasn’t acceptable and she began to raise her voice and shouted ‘you wouldn’t take your own gin to the pub!’ Oh my goodness we have NEVER come across this before. She was so extremely rude and very loud and said we wouldn’t find anywhere else in Uppermill that would accept a small child eating a homemade sandwich! Well Mrs EXTREMELY RUDE MANAGERESS, you were wrong, we had a full choice of menu and a delightful lunch with exceptionally personable staff who couldn’t do enough for us at The Waggon Inn just down the road. Reading other reviews it’s clear you have no idea how to present yourself to your customers who, like us, were just looking to have a nice lunch in pleasant surroundings. The world and life is tough enough for many right now so a little bit of kindness would go a long way!! This is NOT a place I shall be visiting again.

My wife and I visited on 18th July, we had two friends with us from Germany who wanted to go into a real English cafe, and also our granddaughter who is 4 yrs old. We were offered a table for 5 which was a good start, We were given the menu and told that there was a limited menu because of the heatwave, And again that was fine as we wanted cold food anyway, but then it went rapidly downhill from here on……my granddaughter is a bit finicky with her food and will only eat my homemade cheese sandwiches, we explained this but the snotty manageress took great delight in shouting at the top of her voice that we were not allowed to eat our own food , all the customers in the cafe were looking at us, she then added several times that “ you wouldn’t take your own gin to a pub would you” we tried to reason with her but it was like trying to talk to a wild animal. She was shouting so loud that she was spitting and our granddaughter was getting upset, we pointed this out to her but she kept on shouting, so we got up and walked out. We went just down the road to a pub called The Waggon, we asked the staff if it was ok if our granddaughter could eat our sandwiches and were told of course and welcomed with open arms, we had a lovely meal with drinks and it was cheaper than Fika. The manageress of Fika needs to go to anger management classes and it won’t be long before it closes if she treated all her customers like she treated us. Give this place a wide berth.

We called here for breakfast today, as we've been several times in the past and have always enjoyed the food and the friendly service. It became quickly apparent that the place has changed hands and the customer service has taken a dive. We were 'greeted' by a miserable manageress who first of all had us waiting a while then informed us we couldn't sit where we wanted, only where she wanted us to sit. We were refused a four seat table, 'as there are only two of you'. The two seater tables are tiny and as we wanted full breakfasts, there wouldn't be enough space, so we left and won't be going back. Incidentally, two doors away from this place we found another cafe 'The Cellar Pot' in the basement of the Post Office. It turned out to be a much nicer place, excellent value for money, superb breakfast and lovely staff. So take my advice and give Fika a swerve in favour of the Cellar Pot.

Absolutely awful. I called in for a takeaway ham salad sandwich the owner asked me if I wanted brown or white bread so I asked what bread it was and she said it was hovis or plain white so I asked can I have it on a muffin to which she opened another drawer and said oh ive found one! She then asked me what flavour crisps do I want? I said I didn't want crisps but she said no it comes with crisps! The poor waitress asked the owner how much to charge to which the owner belittled her and raised her voice saying it is what it is on the menu! She charged me £6.20 so I thought I'd be getting a monster of a sandwich but what a let down it was a wafer thin piece of ham with lettuce cucumber and tomato. No onions or egg just plain and basic! And a packet of walkers cheese and onion. When she handed me my sandwich she said ive put napkins in the bag and il even throw a knife and fork in as its a big sandwich. Im sure she was being sarcastic! I would be embarrassed offering a basic sandwich for that price! What a joke.

Val and the fantastic team at Fika helped me to host my Baby Shower on Saturday and we had a really excellent experience. From my very first enquiry, Val was friendly, kind and helpful... nothing was too much trouble. We had use of the whole room downstairs and had afternoon tea for 25 people which was a lovely setting next to the river. Fika is clean, tidy and very welcoming and they will happily cater for all dietary needs including vegetarians, gluten free and peanut allergy. The attention to detail in this area is particularly outstanding. Afternoon tea was served on pretty vintage cake stands and the portions were very generous for a really reasonable price. You could easily pay £25.00 + per head at other places and get mass-produced food in small portions... so don't bother! Head to Fika for homemade perfection from people who really care. If 6 stars was an option, then that would have been our rating. Thank you very much again. xXx

We have recently moved to the area so we have been looking for a Cafe that we can visit regularly. Utterly disappointed with our experience at Fika; the food wasn't good, a bit tasteless (the soup) and the chicken was dry the chef was (I think she was the owner) speaking to the employees was atrocious. She raised her voice numerous times at them, said things like "she's got two chances, bob hope and no hope", asking the waitresses to keep a record of what they were writing down so she could check them at the end of the day (probably to raise her voice at them again). We spoke to the chef about this and she tried to explain that 'we had no idea the amount of mistakes that were made' and we both said that we understand that mistakes are made but to speak to the employees the way she had was unacceptable. I've worked as a waitress and in the kitchen and I understand how stressful it can be, but thats no excuse to speak to people the way she had. Not only that, but the kitchen was in a state, dirty plates and glasseswere put on the floor. After we raised our concerns, she told us to take our business elsewhere which we absolutely will - we will also be sure to pass our experience onto other people in the area and tell them to avoid!

Food was lovely! Great selection and quick service. Normally a lovely atmosphere and staff are very friendly. However my visit was let down by the way the manager was speaking to the staff. From where I was sat I could clearly hear the rude manner in which she was speaking to the staff. At one point I thought the waitress was going to cry. she also spoke to the young lad who was on work experience in a rude demanding manner. Such a shame as the staff are always friendly and attentive but I just felt very sorry for them as she was being so rude and unkind towards them.

We are regular visitors to this place and can not speak more highly of the food, staff and the owners. I have just however read the “Appalling” review (below) and I have to disagree with it (we were also there!). That large party made our experience completely out of the ordinary. They were loud, disruptive, argumentative and one in particular seemed to be enjoying herself by intimidating the young waitresses who were professional at all times, along with the owner. In the end me and my family asked to be moved upstairs (the atmosphere was becoming more like a pub by this stage!). I can 100% say neither the food nor the staff were ‘Appalling’. Our wait for food that day was explained before we had even sat down (30 mins). Eventually the atmosphere returned to it’s normal enjoyable/relaxing self and our food was delicious as always.

10 people on a Sunday morning which ought to be good business. However the service was appalling and the owner was even worse. She was confrontational and rude and mentioned " ripping the head off the young waitress" who got our order wrong. Even tongue in cheek these comments are completely unacceptable. The grumpy rude owner did point out a 30 minute wait when we sat down. We were scratching our heads to see why as there were only 3 other customers. However after 50 minutes wait only half the party had received food and we decided to leave. At this point the rude lady was not around but none of the 4 staff attempted to rescue the situation! Masters of their own destiny, in time, I predict!

Never having visited Fika before we were delighted to try afternoon tea as I had received a voucher for my Mother's day treat. We felt thouroughly spoilt, everything was very tasty and served by the smiling staff. Sandwiches, ample cakes and scones with a drink of coffee if this is what you prefer. They insisted we took home the lovely and unusual cakes we had been unable to finish. What a lovely gift this proved to be.

New job in Uppermill so thought I’d look for a cafe. So hard to find as everywhere always looks closed or can’t tell which is a shop and which is a cafe, I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. I saw Fika as I walked past and noticed chairs outside so I went in. What a lovely place it is, the lady owner was a delight, and was very attentive and greeted me as soon as I came in. I ordered a full breakfast but on seeing what two ladies had just had delivered I wished I’d ordered the afternoon tea, it was massive slices of cakes and substantial sandwiches. I couldn’t stop staring but soon forgot about it when my meal came. Very well presented and hot, all lovely sized portions and was delicious. The latte was lovely and I’m so pleased the lady owner mentioned that I could have one shot or two shots of coffee, I opted for one and a bit and it was just perfect as another place on high street, their coffee is so strong I won’t go back but to be offered a choice of strength was refreshing. Next time I will sit downstairs by the river as I believe you can. It’s not often I’ve experienced service like that so I did give a tip and I will definitely come back for the afternoon tea, I do believe you have to book in advance though. I just wished I’d taken a picture to show you.

The premises are in a fabulous location, next to the water if seated downstairs. It has lost all the charm that Kitty's had and previously you struggled to get a seat but there was plenty of seating. Cake was very very dry, I imagine they have been out for a few days and certainly didn't taste home made but cheap shop bought. The girls who work there are polite and lovely. Proper home cooking with good quality home made cakes are needed

Popped in whilst waiting for a shop to open. The young couple were very friendly and welcoming. Ordered a flat white coffee and a ginger and orange millionaire’s slice, just gorgeous, the flavours complimented each other perfectly. I ordered a second coffee but resisted another piece of cake. Call in when next in Uppermill.

Such a cosy little place to pop in for afternoon tea after a long winter walk. Particularly love the sandwiches as they always fill them to the brim. Gorgeous selection of hot drinks as well.

Called in for my normal cappuccino after an early morning bike ride. They do porridge-with honey! Who knew. I can recommend it as it was lovely. Ideal on a crisp autumnal morning. The dry cappuccino was great too as always. Thanks Fika.

Our favourite breakfast spot when staying in Uppermill. Great food, pleasant staff, and a lovely view of the river - you can watch dippers and grey wagtails foraging while you eat.

Just had afternoon tea and it was delicious. We had a Groupon voucher but even if we had paid full price it woud have been excellent value for money. Two of us upgraded to include a glass of prosseco as we were celebrating our birthdays. We had a choice of sandwiches, scone with jam and clotted cream, large slice of cake and 2 small cakes each. My daughter had gluten free sandwich, scone, jam and cream and 2 slices of cake. Our waitress, Anna, was lovely, nothing too much trouble. Can highly recommend

We booked for 3:30pm, but arrived over a hour early, they said there was room and booked us in, even though they were busy.

We made a reservation for an afternoon tea two days ago when we were on the terrace for some drinks in the sun.

We were walking past on a rainy day and decided to just stop for something small to eat and drink. Really welcoming cafe with lovely staff. Varied menu for both food and drink. Something for everyone! The food was wonderfully presented and tasted fab. Would love to come back for afternoon tea one day!

Visited Fifa today for my mum in laws birthday. We ordered the afternoon tea option with a glass of prosecco. The sandwiches were fresh, and the homemade scones delightful. The setting was very pleasant indeed. The staff were very attentive and professional. I has a few queries prior to our visit and the prompt replies via Facebook were grateful received, would highly recommend,

visited yesterday with my Mum. Salmon and cream cheese and chicken and stuffing sandwiches were fresh and tasty. Scones tasted homemade and the cakes were soft and fluffy. Loose leaf tea and coffee served with a choice of hot or cold milk. Efficient and friendly service. Can highly recommend.

Visited on Sunday 8th July. It was a lovely sunny day, but as there isn't much outside seating, we sat inside, which was very comfortable considering the heat. We had afternoon tea, and for just £3 each more, had a glass of presecco too. The service was superb and the food fabulous. On a personal note only, I would have preferred a little more savoury food, but not complaining as the cakes served were delightful. We couldn't eat everything, but were given the left overs back in a cake box. for a cost of £10.95 per person, it has to be the best value for money afternoon tea in the area.

Having visited the restaurant for years, and enjoyed all of it. My partner did the books many years ago. We have stuck with it through all the many changes & styles of food offered. Unfortunately we went for Sunday Roast , last Sunday. The beef was sold out, my partner took the pork which was too fatty, I took the ham shank which looked like it had been boiled & was totally unacceptable to me. We complained quietly to an older waitress, who tried to help with a strange type of beef? We were told to complain to Charlotte ( restaurant manager) who went home early on Sunday, & would not be on duty until Wednesday? Having decided that was enough, we grudgingly paid, and left, never to return ever! we were treated badly!

Really lovely staff who can't do enough to help. I have only bought cake and drinks, but i haven't heard anything negative about this cafe.

First visit with my friend to The Printers and it didn't disappoint. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the food was stunning. Portions were very generous and the staff super friendly and accommodating. We had a starter and a main course each with a couple of sparkling waters. Will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you for a fab meal 😍.
