I was east of Puyallup on a Saturday morning and thought, "Hey, I'm going to find a bakery I've…read morenever been to!". A quick search found Fika, very promising ratings and I'm partial to Swedish baked goods since I spend time in Sweden every year. Fika is located inside Farm12, a huge complex that even contains a school so, why not a coffee shop? When I arrived, the line was a good 30 feet out the door. Even more promising. After 20 minutes, I made it inside and got to look at the extensive selection of pastries and more. All of them looked pretty good though the only nod to Swedish baking was a cardamom bun (and one tart that also contained cardamom). The rest were standard baked goods and a few specialties for the month. Counter staff (Finn) was very helpful. I ordered a Farm12 mocha, almond croissant, and the aforementioned cardamom bun. The mocha was well made, perfect temp, and tasty. The cardamom bun dough was underproofed, dense, and gummy. Good flavor and looks. Almond croissant was buttery and flaky like you'd expect. I personally prefer my almond filling added after baking as it doesn't moisten the inside as much. Overall, this is a good addition to the area, nice people, seems well run, and handy if at the nearby park and trail. Just don't go in thinking Swedish in any way.

Came in to grab some pastries. I really wanted to try their puff pockets. I got the strawberry and…read morethe maple brown sugar. I really enjoyed them. The maple grown sugar had a much bigger air pocket compared to the strawberry where the pastry was pretty flush to the jam inside. Both had great flavor. I couldn't tell you which I preferred since they're so different. I also got a morning bun which was a little hard when not warmed up. It had a little citrus flavor to it. Service was quick for ordering the pastries and no drink. I did come in when there want a line so that definitely helped in the wait time.

I came here after a few too good to go orders. They have great customer service. The restaurant was…read morenice and clean and the items on display looked delicious. I didn't order off the menu besides a drink because I got their surprise half dozen and surprise goody bag. I was impressed. The cupcakes were beautiful! I do have to say, it is a little too sweet. I just cut the top half of the frosting off. I ordered their Italian soda while I waited. I've had better Italian sodas, but it was all about the service and experience. The drink was drinkable so I would say that it's fine. Nothing special. Overall, I really like this place.

Found this place because it was on Good to Go. Decided to give them a try and while I was in there,…read moreI wanted to try some other goodies. I grabbed a coffee and a scone. The coffee was made perfect and the scone delish. They open at 7 am and even have a drive thru! The staff was so welcoming and friendly. For the Good to Go deal I got a half a dozen of cupcakes and one of the gals asked if she wanted me to explain all the flavors. That was kind of her to take the time to do so. The other girl seemed to joyfully make my coffee. The place itself is clean with ample seating. Will definitely be back!

Just had a simple soup and 1/2 sandwich. Dropped in, as I'd never heard of them and was intrigued…read more Very nice and helpful staff. Super fast. No seating. Just grab and go on weekdays. Designed best for pre-orders, but walk-in was fine at 3pm. Corned beef and Cabbage soup was just lovely! Excited to add this to my lunch rotation.

Really wanted sandwiches and decided to try the Pickled Pepper. It's a little hard to see from the…read moreroad because the signs are small, however we were still able to find it. The woman who took our order was very kind and patient as we looked over the menu. The Pickled Pepper offers a great variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, pita bread pizzas, and rotate their soups and pasta salads. I was really excited to see they serve sourdough and focaccia breads. We each got the Aussie Chicken (which is served on focaccia bread) and the street corn pasta salad. Everything tasted fresh and the garlic cheesy spread added nice flavor to the sandwich. I saw they also offer a few breakfast options during the week, so maybe we'll try a breakfast wrap or bagel sandwich next.
