Angular and light (thanks to copious birchwood and... white paint), FIKA, which translates to "daily break", is technically housed inside the Nelson Cultural Center, a multimillion-dollar new addition to the giant American Swedish Institute-housing mansion, all of which you can try to digest at the same time as Nordic cuisine designed to "reflect the ASI's contemporary architectural style" by a chef late of Tilia, Sea Change, and Solera. Regional ingredients go into fresh pastries in the AM; beef, salmon, shrimp & other open-faced sammies; small bites like pine needle-smoked pork belly w/ green pea purée; and sides ranging from fingerling potatoes to lox, which you really ought to pick. To juice you up, there're caffeinators from Roastery 7 (cappuccinos, espressos... whatevs), and then a small selection of by-the-glass wine bolstering a revolving door of suds including Bell's Oberon, Stone IPA, and Grain Belt, which oughta look dashing with your pleated buckwheat slacks.
