Fika Fika Coffee: Cutest Treats in Pasadena

If you’re a coffee lover with a soft spot for sweets, you need to make your way to Fika Fika Coffee in Pasadena, California. This stylish, minimalist café is already known for its expertly crafted drinks—but the real star of the show just might be the adorable mochi paw cakes.

These paw-shaped desserts are not only picture-perfect, they’re also soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're in it for the aesthetics or the flavor (or both!), Fika Fika Coffee is a must-visit spot for anyone craving a café experience that’s as fun as it is flavorful.

Mochi Paw Cakes

These little treats are made with a mochi-based dough, giving them a soft, chewy texture that pairs beautifully with coffee or tea. They come in six mouthwatering flavors—including custard, matcha, strawberry, taro, and more. Personally, custard is always a must as it’s a classic flavor for mochi treats. But for a more adventurous flavor, try the black sesame.

Each cake is shaped like a cute animal paw, making them Instagram-ready from every angle. They’re almost too cute to eat…almost.

What to Drink

As tempting as it is to go straight for the desserts, Fika Fika’s coffee menu deserves just as much attention. My personal favorite is the Earl Grey Tea Espresso Latte. The perfect mixture of coffee and tea with the richness of espresso and the calming notes of Earl Grey. Best choice if you can’t decide between coffee or tea!

If you’re in the mood for something a little more classic, go for the Tabby Brown Sugar Latte. A sweet and subtle coffee that pairs perfectly with any of the paw cakes!

When ordering, you have the option to choose between Medium or Dark Roasts. As someone who prefers lighter flavors, I’d go for the Medium Roast as the coffee at Fika Fika is a little more bitter compared to other coffee shops I’ve been to.

Final Thoughts

Fika Fika Coffee is a great place to meet a friend, get some work done, or just treat yourself to a peaceful solo coffee break. Grab a cute café treat in town and upgrade your usual coffee run.
