I used to go to IKEA once a week to eat breakfast there. Their food is very reasonably priced.
I also like their Swedish meatballs meal that comes with soup. I occasionally will purchase a bag of the meatballs along with a couple packets of the cream gravy mix. Really easy to fix for a quick meal.
I don't go there very much anymore because of the distance from my home plus the price of gas.
I don't go to furniture stores to eat.
I tried one of their Swedish meatballs. Disgusting.
Didn't even know it was an option, but I'm going to pass on this.

We could start by looking around the store, head over to the eatery for some dinner, dance in the halls, entertain ourselves in a couch watching people, unless they have a TV area that we could catch a movie. Head back for a light treat, and then head home. LOL
Sounds like a one stop date shop, lol!

How?
How does ANYONE (besides employees) spend more than 45mins in a tetris style furniture store?!
Here they have a cafeteria on the 2nd floor and a quickie pickup place on the 1st floor. The latter serves 50c hot dogs that are pretty plain and while I'd eat it once in a while, I'd not make it a habit. They also have other things like cinnabons, but it's not gonna be gourmet quality. The cafeteria food is better and kids even got to eat free when we did it. It actually wasn't bad - definitely better than tv dinner food. Yes, the bar is pretty low.
I have eaten several times at IKEA in South Florida(Broward) and I really don't like most of their food. I will never eat there again even if I am starving. I also don't like the store design and that air freshener they use at the entrance of the store.
The proteins are usually overcooked and dry, the flavors are not particularly interesting. Not even the desserts are that great. I still don't get why people like those Swedish meatballs. Breakfast there is cheap and the flavors are "ok". It is like a Dennis breakfast hash browns, bacon etc.
Their food court meals are very cheap but not very tasty either. Hot dogs are nasty by definition anywhere, the pizza sucks, and the cinnamon rolls and ice cream taste good
One could give me 100 bucks and I would never eat a "Swedish Meatball" from Ikea, or eat any food from a department store.
Swedish meatballs in themselves gross me out, and any food served in a department store environment where people are
sneezing and couching turns me off.
Rather just eat at home or a local place that i know is clean, and not with the masses.

Well, if you're not interested, I'll gladly take that $100. I'll enjoy the meatball with no reasonable reason to be concerned about cleanliness, and then I'll go spend the $100 in the store. Thanks!

That's because they can't find their way out. LOL. I've been to that store and got so lost I felt like I needed a map.
Off topic, I do think they make some of the best pillows and mattresses. Very ergonomic focused. The pillows, they make one for every sleep position. The one I purchased several years ago has kept its shape. It is a mix of feathers and foam, so it has support without the feeling of sleeping on a cement block.
The kitchen countertops are high quality of laminate, solid oak and birch, very attractive and reasonably priced. I almost put in a butcher block countertop and priced. The Ikea one was better looking and only would cost me $250.00 compared to four times the cost from a kitchen store.
For people living in small spaces, their storage solutions offer versatile solutions and blend in well with most interiors.
I am not crazy about their sofas and chairs, a little too stark and functional and not enough choice of fabrics and patterns.
I believe they still offer the 25 year guarantee on their furnishings and cabinets.
Back to talking food, I love the marzipan flavored sweets and another vote for the cinna buns.
