Canadian Coffee Shops

1. Fika – Toronto, Ontario

Imagine a coffee shop that has an entire wall filled with books. Ok… That doesn’t sound exciting… except that these books are not on shelves; they are actually opened up and layered to create an incredible wall mural. Fika is a Canadian coffee shop found in the heart of Kensington Market in Toronto, Ontario. The name of the cafe (Fika) is actually a Swedish verb meaning “to go out for coffee” or to take a “coffee break”. Apparently in Sweden it’s standard to invite your friends for a coffee break every few hours. Umm what? That’s amazing and something we can definitely get behind. Fika is located in a quaint home that’s light and airy and even has a backyard patio with a hammock. It’s the perfect place to escape the city for a little bit. Fika serves a wide variety of warm and cold beverages as well as baked goods inspired by Sweden, including their Swedish cinnamon buns. Yum!

This Canadian coffee shop is located in Calgary, Alberta and offers you the chance to enjoy a warm beverage then cuddle a cute cat – what more could you want?!
