Los Angeles｜Fun Coffee Shop – Fika Fika ☕️✨

Fika Fika is a popular coffee chain with multiple locations—I visited the one in Pasadena for brunch after a 5 AM flea market run with friends. Eating after a morning cardio fast just hits different (lol)—waking up early really lets you get so much done! 🌅 🐈 Mochi Paw Cakes – Chewy, waffle-like texture with three different flavors. Best enjoyed hot—crispy outside, soft and sticky inside! 🧇💕 🍞 Avocado Toast – First time trying avocado toast with so much raw onion. Overall, it was quite salty and one-dimensional. Not bad, but just not my personal preference. 🥑🧅 🥤 Ube Latte – The ube flavor was pretty mild—tasted more like a sweet latte. But the cup size was generous! With coffee prices these days often over $8 for a tiny cup, the portion here felt really fair. 💜 🍮 Ube Tart – Also grabbed an ube tart for a picnic in the park later—super strong purple sweet potato flavor! Highly recommend! 🧺🌟 They also sell ice cream and their own roasted beans inside—definitely worth a return visit! ☕️ Fika Fika Can you believe I’m only posting this a month later? Lately I’ve been super productive—cleared my backlog and now I’m drawing in real-time! 🎨 I’ve started two new series: 【Dede’s California Life】– Life journaling 【California Through My Eyes】– Landscape paintings Names aren’t final yet, but I’m just going for it. One of my life mottos now: “Make a mess first, refine later.” Loving this productive energy! 💪✨ Have you been to Fika Fika? What’s your favorite coffee-and-pastry combo in LA?
