What is Swedish FIKA?

The usual English translation is ‘coffee break,’ but the meaning of fika is more than that. It’s an integral part of Swedish culture where you take the time to socialize with friends and coworkers.

Fika means taking a break from working and sitting down to chat — all these over a cup of coffee or tea and some Swedish sweets or pastries.

It is a moment when you put work aside, you put life’s stress aside, and enjoy coffee and some pastries with other people.
