    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.

    Fantastic dinner with my foodie 16 y.o.!!! We started with the smoked salmon dip that came with…read moretoasted bread (nicely buttered and toasted) and crab cakes. Flavors on both dishes were complemented with the various garnish (sweet grape tomatoes for instance with the crab cakes and pickled red onion on the dip). For our Entrees I got the seafood chowder (so fresh and the broth was delicious like butter) and he got the steak sandwich on focaccia. We both "ummmm'd" all the way through the meal. Even the drinks were great!!

    I was incredibly excited to try this farm-to-table restaurant. It's close to home, and a coworker…read morehad raved about it, so our expectations were high. We joined the online waitlist at 1:00 PM on a Sunday. While we were seated fairly quickly, we still had to wait in a long line just to speak with the host to check in. The restaurant was completely packed well past 2:00 PM. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once we sat down. It took forever just to place our order. Our chowder arrived about 10 minutes later, but it tasted like it came straight out of a can, and the accompanying dinner roll was completely flavorless and factory-made. Since we were hungry, we ate it quickly anyway. It took 45 minutes for our entrees--a Country Fried Steak and a California Benedict--to arrive. By 3:00 PM, we were famished, which made it all the more disappointing to discover our food was cold, soggy, and hard. The cubed fries, scrambled eggs, and English muffin tasted like they had been sitting on a counter for 20 minutes before being brought to our table. For a restaurant advertising a "farm-to-table" concept, the eggs, salad, croutons, and muffin felt entirely mass-produced. The service was equally disappointing; our server never returned to refill our water. While the atmosphere is nice and the space is large enough to fit over 100 people, they seemed severely understaffed. The host stand was backed up, it took too long to order, and the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. For $23 a plate, I expect significantly better quality in both the food and the service.

Coffee is from Mukilteo Coffee Roasters -Free coffee refills (as of 4/25/26) -High quality syrups with many organic choices -Friendly staff -When ordering, they ask you what you are celebrating which is a great way to remind you of what you are thankful for that day -White walls reflecting light -Front large door (garage door style) that provides more sunshine inside and open air seating next to the open door -Layout of cafe can be cozy with a couch or at a quality table with nice chairs or watching your toddlers play in the children's play area away from the other customers -Small spot for two people to sit on high quality barstools to work on their laptop What I didn't like: -Pastry prices are high, even for Seattle standards but may be worth it. I didn't try them -With their great selection of high quality syrups, they serve Hershey's for their mochas. Since I always like a high quality mocha, my recommendation would be to add Holy Kakow mocha at a higher priced option if price is a concern for the owner or use Monin chocolate syrup for higher quality Overall, very impressed with this cafe which says a lot since I've been to many cafes around the world.

There isn't much seating since a lot of it is a playground but I love the idea of moms being able to go out while the kids have fun too. The drinks are unique which weas awesome to see. They have the basic fan favorites like banana bread matcha but they had fun new stuff too like an orange creamcicle latte. The servers are so sweet and patient while i looked through the menu, it is a lot to look through but options are always great. The drinks are a little too sweet so I'd recommend asking for half sweet.

They have a lovely space with table seating and couches. In addition to your typical coffee drinks and lattes, they offer sandwiches, pan dulce, mexican cakes, and concha sandwiches. They offer various latte flavors rooted in Mexican culture like Mazapan (which I got and was delicious!!!), Horchata, and Abuelita. I couldn't help myself so I got their cafe specialty, the concha rellena which is a HUGE concha filled with nutella, strawberry, banana slices, and whipped cream. It was soooo good, but definitely you want to share it with someone! A great date dessert ;-) I also got the sweet corn tamale, which was served hot and tasted so sweet and juicy like they used fresh corn. The Mazapan latte was delicious. I asked for it less sweet and it was still had a lot of flavor. I also got a box of pan dulce to take home and all the cookies and pastries inside were so delicious and not dry at all. It's such a cute place with a nice selection of food and drink offerings. When I went, it was a week before Dia De Los Muertos and they had a beautiful ofrenda set up in the back and were going to have a Catrina contest. Very cool! If you've been wanting to shake up your coffee shop routine or find a great new place to work or meet a friend, don't sleep on Dulce Cafe!
