Fika

Fika is a Swedish tradition centered around taking a designated break to enjoy coffee, often accompanied by pastries or light snacks. It’s more than just a coffee break; it’s a social ritual that encourages relaxation, conversation, and bonding with colleagues, friends, or family. Fika fosters a sense of community and helps people recharge, promoting well-being and collaboration. Typically occurring mid-morning or afternoon, it's an integral part of Swedish culture, emphasizing the importance of pausing from work or daily tasks to connect and unwind.
