Fika – The Swede Secret

We all love coffee, and luckily for the Swedes, drinking coffee is an integral part of their culture. They call it “Fika”. Offices will integrate it into their daily schedules as a chance for colleagues to socialize informally and drink coffee.

Fika is a break away from your desk without your phone, even if you have that pressing deadline. It is a time to take a proper, well-deserved break and slow down momentarily. Copious amounts of black coffee are consumed, surprising those first-time Fika virgins. A scheduled coffee break without your phone by order of your boss? Don’t mind if we do.
