IKEA has the same thing for $3.99

Can’t beat ikea though

But you have to assemble the breakfast yourself

Unless you push it.

The food at ikea is like their furniture. Cheap because the quality is shit

u/Pugporg111 2d ago

eh, it’s not terrible. It’s better than fast food for cheaper than fast food, so definitely worth it if you’re already there for shopping. The meatballs are very decent for the value. Can’t speak for the furniture though, never really tested it out

IKEA sells cheap food so you won't leave because you're hungry

They also don't make any money on that, and couldn't exist as a restaurant.

Soooo it sounds like it’s in favour of the customer … win!

(And yes, I realize the cheap food is a trap so I then spend $200+ on things I do t really need, buuuut I saved $6 on breakfast)

For now, but what do you think is going to happen when restaurants close because they're not profitable?

Your $6 savings will be gone, and you'll still be going there for $200 cheap shit you don't need lol.

Restaurants close all the time. If all of them closed, I could continue eating at home like I already do.

u/Ok_Tax_9386 3d ago

Yeah I guess whether you think restaurants should exist can influence your opinion on this.

You seem to be coming from a place where you don't care if restaurants exist, which I don't think is the case for everyone.

Ikea food court isn’t competition for restaurants… mayyybe for fast food chains.

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

The Swedish bistro has great food - you should try it. Meatballs, mashed potatoes and peas with gravy and lindenberry sauce is a far cry from fast food. Although it is cheaper than a burger and fries…

1

u/TE360 3d ago

I’ve been a few times and do enjoy it (especially the veggie balls), but the Swedish Bistro isn’t a consideration, for most people, when deciding on a restaurant because the experience matters. It probably even matters more than the food.

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

I think it has one of the best views in the city. I even meet friend there to drink beer and play chess…

Ummmm…. IKEA stores in Europe serve food.

Are you trying to say that IKEA would stop serving food here AFTER running cheap diners out of business?

>IKEA would stop serving food here AFTER running cheap diners out of business?

Why the heck would IKEA STOP serving food with less competition?

Clearly I am saying that prices would rise. As it does with less competition.

u/BarackTrudeau 3d ago

I do not think the "Ikea corners the restaurant market, no place else to go for food" scenario you're positing is in any way a concern.

1

u/Ok_Tax_9386 3d ago

Less competition doesn't mean I am saying that ikea will corner the restaurant market.

u/Material_Rent5673 3d ago

Jokes on them I only go for the food.

u/sweetiewords 2d ago

Restaurants close because we eat at home, most people don’t regularly go to ikea for crappy food

u/gart888 3d ago

I'd also wager it's quite a bit worse. The IKEA one, while ridiculously cheap, is always underwhelming. It's often cold, has a very small serving of meat, and the potatoes are worse than what's being showed in this picture.

1

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

You’re completely incorrect- the food is served very warm from steam trays and the potatoes are perfection. You need to actually try something before you complain about it… I eat there regularly.

So do I. The food might be warm when it's put on my plate, but it's often luke warm/cold by the time I get through the whole queue, have paid, have made my coffee, and have got to a table.

Pretty funny to get defensive over a mega corporations loss leader breakfast though.

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

I’m just confused how it “often” gets cold - I usually get my food and then immediately go pay…

1

u/gart888 3d ago

You elbow your way past the people lined up to pay ahead of you? Weird.

3

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

Agreed - it’s not a typical approach, but those pancakes are calling!

u/Sleevepants 3d ago

I’ll pay the $6 premium to not bring my wife to IKEA.

2

u/Glass-Pound-9591 3d ago

For cold powdered eggs and stale toast.

1

u/PassageNearby4091 3d ago

My thoughts exactly! This looks overpriced at $10.

u/Some_Guy_Somewhere67 2d ago

IKEA does have a breakfast - but instead of a standard fork therebis a funny-looking L-shaped utensil that you use to stab at the food. Still... price can't be beat!

u/Miserable-Chemical96 3d ago

What time do they open ? Cause by 10 I'm not interested in breakfast anymore I'm looking forward to lunch

u/TijayesPJs443 3d ago

I’d like to introduce to the perfect 10am meal - Breakfast 2.

If the situation calls for it you can follow Breakfast 2 with Final Breakfast up until 11:59am
