Meet Fika: Creston’s Freshest Plant-Based Brunch Spot

If you haven’t heard yet, Fika just opened in the Creston neighborhood, and it’s already making waves. Located at 1359 Plainfield Ave NE (inside the Lofts on Grove), Fika is a bright, welcoming café focused on plant-based, gluten-free brunch and lunch that’s both delicious and thoughtful.

What’s Fika? (Hint: It’s More Than Just a Cool Name)

Fika is a Swedish tradition all about taking a pause to enjoy coffee and good company — and that’s exactly the vibe Becca and Nick Van Liere (yes, the same folks behind Rise Authentic Baking Co.) bring to this new spot. Think of it as your new favorite hangout that respects your dietary choices without sacrificing flavor or fun.

The Menu That Speaks Your Language

Fika’s menu is all about plant-based comfort food that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Here’s what you’re looking at:

• Tofu scramble that’s packed with flavor and so satisfying it might convert even the most dedicated egg lovers.

• Chik’n and waffles — the classic combo, reinvented with plant-based magic.

• Savory hash for when you want something hearty but wholesome.

• Fresh salads, sandwiches, and bowls that keep it light but far from boring.

• Smoothies and fresh juices to refresh and recharge.

Bonus: Fika doubles as a market where you can grab pantry staples, ready-to-go deli items, and even some artsy home goods.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Fika is bright, airy, and designed to be a community hub — perfect for catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just unwinding with a great cup of Squibb Coffee (a local favorite). It’s all about good vibes, great food, and making you feel right at home.
