Fika [fee-ka] is a Swedish word for coffee break with something small to eat. But in same time FIKA is more than a coffee break.
It’s a state of mind, a Scandinavian response to an overly busy rhythm of life.
Fika is a lifestyle that fits in perfectly with the global megatrend: the need to slow down.
Nowadays it feels that there is no time for a decent coffee break. Having a coffee does not really mean having a break anymore, it means “take away and keep going”. It’s even difficult to set our mind into a break mode. It requires a simple routine. And that’s why we really need to slow down and have a Swedish tradition, FIKA– a true break to enjoy some time alone or with friends or family and share a cup of coffee or tea and delicious soft dough bun. And just relax
Scandinavia is named as one of the happiest places in the world. It is also trending across the world because of high standards of living, beautiful functional and minimalistic designs, amusing nature and much more.
