I never heard of the term Fika but I'm so delighted to learn about it. Thanks for sharing. This is a great reminder of the importance of uplifting ourselves through community. And a great excuse for sugary treats and coffee breaks in the day. 😍

In the “old days” it was called a work break and were 15 or 20 minutes long. One between the start of work and lunch and one midway between lunch and end of work day.

Yes, the good old days before we ate lunch in front of our computer. 😒

Nigel calls it “elevenses” - the Brit version of Fika. Around that time, everyone’s out… pausing for a coffee, a sweet bite, and a little life enjoyment. Honestly, we should all adopt the habit.

Is fik-takular a word? If sot, we need to make it one.

I first heard of fika from the Netflix show "Swedish Death Cleaning," which is amazing and hilarious. Will fika today!
