Why Choose Fika the Bakery?

Fika the Bakery brings Swedish baking to Manly with sourdough, cinnamon and vanilla buns, and savoury cheese rolls that locals keep coming back for.

About Fika the Bakery

Fika the Bakery is a Swedish café, bakery and shop in Manly with a strong local reputation. This is the place to head when you want something that feels different from the usual bakery in Manly: cardamom and cinnamon buns, princess cakes, savoury cheese rolls and sourdough, all in the Swedish tradition.

The buns are what people talk about most. The vanilla bun is known for its soft, buttery dough, and the cinnamon and cardamom buns are also popular, including a vegan cinnamon version. On the savoury side, the cheese rolls get plenty of love, and one local heated theirs at home and piled on eggs and bacon with excellent results. The bacon and egg danish is another favourite, and there are gluten-free options as well.

Beyond the counter, they take custom cake orders, offer catering and run a pre-order system, so it pays to plan ahead for bigger occasions. Delivery is available too. You can dine in at the small tables inside and out, grab a coffee or breakfast, or take your haul away. Staff are friendly and happy to point you toward something good.

One visitor found a bun underwhelming and the coffee slow to arrive, so a busy morning may test your patience. Step-free access and nearby free parking make it easy to drop in. Hours are smart to look up the hours.
