Fika

Mmm good coffee. Limited seating space though. This place is a little hidden so literally a hole in the wall.
They serve has bean coffee so you know it has to be good :)

An incredible space, with the counter and chairs hewn from a single tree. The coffee was fantastic, great to support new beans! The best part? The delicious desserts. Try to homemade crunchy bars, you won’t regret it!

Totally agree with all previous reviews.
Coffee prepared with care and attention. No burnt mud here, just a nice, smooth, full bodied coffee.
I now must try the hot chocolate! The cakes and treats are perfectly sized and priced with enough variety to keep most people happy.
I’d recommend the Grown Ups Crunchie, a lovely slice of honeycomb, coated in a lovely dark chocolate.
Thoroughly recommended.

Beyond impressed.
Had been talking about this place for a few weeks and hearing great thing I decided to bite the bullet and go this morning. 20 minutes later I’m drinking one of the best americanos (black of course, I’m a purist) I’ve had in a long time. Smooth and rich coffee and without a doubt beating all the other coffee places that are packed into this area hands down!

I’d been recommended to go to Fika countless of times with the assurance that theirs is the best coffee on the Dawson St strip.
It was 4.30 by the time I spotted its cute little sign though, and as someone who can’t handle coffee after 3, I decided to venture out for a hot chocolate instead.
I’m a sucker for places that use real chocolate chips to make their hot chocolate, but Fika obviously goes that extra mile by using really good quality chocolate, and you can taste the difference. Usually he mixes one scoop of milk chocolate and one of dark, but I like my chocolate like I like my bedroom lighting when I’m going to sleep –dark, so he let me have two dark scoops.
Pfft, who gives a monkey’s about the coffee –their hot chocolate is MIND BLOWING!
In all seriousness, Mind = Blown.
In other words, if the coffee’s anything to go by the hot chocolate, I will be back.
(side note: they don’t offer soy milk but they do offer the even-​more-​delicious-​alternative almond milk *Nice!!*)

If you are dying of coffee, about to pass out of exhaustion or just a plain coffee-​snob this is a place for you to go. Especially on weekends, when coffee angel is closed for business and Fika has monopoly on good coffee in the neighborhood.

This is one of a growing number of independent cafes serving great coffee. It is a little hard to spot, it is in the basement on Dawson street opposite the mansion house. The owner was really friendly and explained the coffee options, he seems to really know his stuff. There is also a lonely selection of sinful snacks. I got a macchiato made with a Brazilian coffee, it was seriously good! The chocolate brownie was rich, gooey and just perfect.
The café itself is small and very simple, I really like the use of natural wood throughout (your coffee and trreat even comes served on a wood board). There are a few high stools and tables, but it more of a take-​away joint.

Beautiful coffee, friendly staff, good prices for the area and if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a huge muffin or pastry (and protect your waistline in the process), these guys have lovely inexpensive but no less delicious biscuits and bitesized sweet treats: home made dark chocolate crunchie, shortbread dunked in dark chocolate with a sprinkle of crushed macadamia nuts, mmmmmmyesplease.

This place is new and I have to say serves the best coffee I’ve had in Dublin. I used to go between d&c and roasted brown but since meeting Fika I was taken at first sip, there is now no other coffee out there for me, this place tops them all.
It’s a small spot with a modest vibe and the guy behind the counter seems to make each cup with meticulous care. Would really recommend this for any coffee lovers.

I really like my coffee so it was a pleasant surprise to discover Fika and the care it puts into its product.
The staff are really friendly and know their stuff about coffee. My order of a flat white was made with care and great concentration. It was a rich blend with a balanced addition of smooth milk.
My jo was complimented by a fresh raspberry and almond bakewell which was delicious.
I’d truly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates a friendly atmosphere, high quality coffee, and delicious freshly baked treats.
Wholly deserved of 5 stars.

This has been open now for about two weeks and is a much needed and gladly welcomed addition to the Dawson Street coffee community.
Having worked with 3fe and Roasted Brown, Craig (the guy who owns and runs the place) is an absolute prodigy when it comes to coffee. Every cup is made with precision and the strive for perfection. The coffee is honestly, second to none and located so close to Trinity, I’ll be here every day.
On top of the great coffee (and also loose leaf tea and hot chocolate made with real chocolate) and friendly face behind the counter, the homemade treats are irresistible; with so many to choose from that you can’t help but finding yourself back here again and again.
My new favourite in Dublin.
