    I love this cafe. It’s quaint and cozy with the most delicious food and delightful Nordic vibe. This was my second visit in two weeks. I ordered the roasted vegetable and quinoa salad with a side of salmon. It was incredibly tasty and filling. The staff could not have been more warm and professional. There happened to be a Scandinavian film later downstairs, so I went to that, too. A lovely evening all around.
    Björk Cafe & BistroResponded on May 22, 2025

It means a lot that you felt the warmth of our team and appreciated the Nordic vibe we strive to create. We're also glad you were able to catch the Scandinavian film downstairs — what a perfect way to spend the evening! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

    Traditional Swedish greatest hits! Meatballs, smoked salmon, smorgasbord plate, shrimp skagan, and the list goes on. Everything is fresh and tasty and it’s one of my go to spots in the area.

    I ordered the large Swedish meatballs (I was in the mood for comfort food) and my partner ordered the Smörgåsbord platter (he wanted to be adventurous and try new-to-him things). Both dishes lived up to expectation -- I got the comfort food I desired and my partner got an assortment of new-to-him foods to sample. Major props to our waiter for mentioning a dessert that wasn't on the menu! I love the Swedish Prinsesstårta dessert and if our waiter hadn't mentioned it -- I would've totally missed out on having a slice! So I remain suuuuuuper grateful to our waiter for mentioning the Prinsesstårta. When our bill came, I felt we got a great value for what we received. 10/10 would come again!!
    Björk Cafe & BistroResponded on May 12, 2025
    Dear Naomi, Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear both you and your partner enjoyed your meals—whether it was the cozy comfort of the Swedish meatballs or the adventurous variety of the Smörgåsbord platter. Huge shoutout to our server for making sure you didn’t miss out on the Prinsesstårta—it's truly a special treat, and we're so glad you got to enjoy it! We really appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to know you felt it was a great value. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon—10/10 experiences are what we aim for!
