Fika Cafe

Skip it--bring your own coffee to the library. The café looks very appealing, and what could be better than a book with a cup of coffee and a pastry or candy? Unfortunately, this isn't the case. The service is super slow, though friendly, and the quality of the beverages is disappointing. Even the presentation is underwhelming--the coffee is served so hot that you can't take a sip, and the thin plastic cup makes it easy to burn your hands.I hope they improve because the location and concept are perfect.

Great lovely lady working there. I love the falafel wrap. The meat wrap was a but tough for my liking but I always try and stop in when I'm there.

I just grabbed lunch at the tiny Fika Cafe locTed inside the Burlingame Public Library. The chicken on my wrap has a delicious seasoning (cumin? Nutmeg?), and the hummus added a creamy note. I love the woman who owns the cafe too, she is so nice. I don't know how she offers such great variety from the tiniest kitchen on earth. This is definitely a hidden gem.

Love this little cafe inside the library. Coffee is strong and baklava is homemade! Sometimes I come here just for that and enjoy it upstairs on the balcony. Places is ran by a husband and wife and are the sweetest people.

I have very mixed feelings about this cafe. For starters, the coffee was pretty good. I got an iced oat milk latte, which is what I always get at coffee shops. Wasn't outstanding, but wasn't bad either, but I do think it was slightly overpriced. However, the main thing I've seen about this cafe is the waffles, which was what I was really excited for because waffles are one of my favourite foods. When we got the waffles, they were presented beautifully and had a nice golden colour. To our disappointment, the texture was abysmal. The flavour of the waffle itself was fine, but the texture was extremely doughy and chewy, not crispy and fluffy as expected. Overall, not bad, would try again if they improve their recipe.

Awesome Turkish coffee! The best I have had in the area. Strongly recommend it. Great people as well.

Every review is spot on. Food is off the charts delicious. Lady who runs the cafe is just a complete charm and what a find. Everything freshly made and so scrumptious and healthy no garbage. Turkish coffee was excellent.Total find.

I have just discovered Fika Cafe located in the Burlingame Public Library.Last night I ordered a falafel sandwich and lentil soup. It was so good that I am back today.What makes it good is the chef, Ghada, cooks from scratch using and mixing spices such as mint, turmeric, green onion. She does not use any canned products, all is freshly prepared whole food.She's also friendly and happy that her customers like her food. She offers a variety of teas which complements her food. This hidden gem is worth coming to the library to try even if you are not coming to read a book.

This was so good, I couldn't believe this was a library cafe! Best falafel sandwich I've ever had, and everything seems to be handmade by the owner. I'll have to remember this place even when I'm not visiting the library.

Tiny tiny cafe at the back of the library with bold flavors. The sweet owners make everything from scratch, including the lasagna, falafel, and baklava. Would highly recommend the wraps (the green sauce is fire). They have a few seats inside but also have to-go options.Love these guys!
