## What is fika?

While fika may seem like just a coffee and cake break, it holds a much deeper cultural significance in Sweden. It’s a moment to pause, connect and recharge – often more about the company and conversation than the coffee itself.
Fika can happen any time of day, and it usually involves freshly brewed coffee served with something sweet; cinnamon buns ('kanelbullar') being the most popular choice. It's also a popular and more relaxed choice for a date than going out for dinner. While some might enjoy a quiet coffee break solo, fika is widely seen as a social ritual, best shared with others.

Bring your thermos of coffee or tea or water and join us for conversation and community. Please DO bring a sweet treat or fruit or nuts or _____ to share with others. Think of this as a mid day potluck.

You may bring a folding chair if you like. You can bring warm beverages to share with others. This social is meant to be fun and low key. Everyone enjoys meeting new people and having excellent conversation!
