What’s Fika?
Swedish people prefer not to translate the word Fika. For us, it’s about much more than a regular coffee break.
It’s a great excuse to set aside a moment for quality time. Fika can happen at any time, morning or night, and anywhere - at home, at work or in a café. It can be enjoyed with family, colleagues, friends or someone new. In Sweden, we love to enjoy Fika several times a day, and in most workplaces, the Fika break is an ideal time to have a casual chat over coffee with your colleagues. Sweet snacks are crucial during Fika - cinnamon buns, cakes, cookies, or basically anything else sweet will be acceptable!
