Downtown San Francisco’s New Ikea Is Now Open and Serving Swedish Meatballs and More | Eater SF

"At street level I encountered Swedish Bite, the smallest of the three food areas focused mostly on cold, pre-packaged grab-and-go items with a hot drink station offering coffees and specialty lattes, an ordering kiosk for quick checkout so diners can be back on the street in minutes, and a handful of bar-height tables for eating briefly on-site. Although some items weren’t in place on opening day, labels and price tags indicated offerings such as the Skagen croissant sandwich, salads, and wraps; the store’s fridges also held slices of almond chocolate butterscotch cake or cheesecake, sodas, water, LaCroix, and Ikea’s bottled ciders. Pricing reflects Ikea’s affordability—at opening the veggie dog was $1.15 (hot dog $1.25), an Americano was $1.50, and specialty drinks like lattes were $3." - Dianne de Guzman
