Fika Coffee House — Restaurant in South Hams

Where do I start?! The coffee is fantastic and the smoothies are fabulous! They’re consistent in their ingredients so you know what to expect every time. This is what makes this cafe great, it’s a hard thing to master, the best cafes in the world know that success is about consistency.

The owner is always there with a smile to greet you, as are her other members of staff who are always polite and calm. The cakes are occasionally made by her very talented daughter - who may I say is a real credit to FIKA because they are DELICIOUS and look worthy of a cake magazine!

What I do want to mention though, and I’m sure this isn’t always the case, other customers can be very impatient and stand close to you in the queue, this is nothing to do with the business I know. One diner yelled at the lady behind the counter and demanded “how long are my scrambled eggs going to be”. I was gobsmasked at such behaviour from a grown adult.. my two children would be better behaved than this. But as I’m learning, this is common practice by the locals here in Kingsbridge. But I have to say, the girl behind the counter took it on her chin and responded very calmly and professionally! Hats off to you at FIKA for all of your hard work! You are fantastic! And loved by so...

The latte that I had a few weeks ago, was really smooth, like liquid silk. The Interior of the coffee shop is better now than ever. Just one or two things(1) It's ashame the window frames have been painted darkish green, like the walls either side below windows to match. Darker colours make it look small.(2) It's also ashame that cushions are used as back rests. I would prefer to sit on a chair, they are much more comfortable than windowseats, so your customer's can relax and enjoy their lovely coffee in a lovely setting which it's certainly is. The last owners had tables and chairs outside...

Lovely coffee however food served as take away in brown bag plus sandwich in its packaging despite of staying over to sit at the table. Such service due to very busy overcrowded area( busy bus stop/ Station literally next to the cafe where people are waiting next to Fika's tables)? Otherwise coffee was delicious, shame there is no quiet outside area. Maybe there would small possibility to fence outside tables with some plants in pots to give it more...
