Fika (pronounced fee-ka) is a Swedish term used to describe a “coffee and cake” break. But it’s so much more than just a coffee break. Unlike the rushed coffee pitstop at Pret for pick-me-up before work, “Fika” is a dedicated pause in the day to step away from screens and slow down over a hot drink and freshly baked goods. Fika is tradition or a ritual in Sweden, deep rooted in their culture. It’s not so much about the food being consumed, but more about the experience and state of mind. It's a moment to relax, chat, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time with friends or colleagues
