What is Swedish Fika?

Discovering the Art of Swedish Fika: 
An Essential Part of Every Swede’s Life

For anyone visiting the Scandinavian part of Europe, Swedish Fika is an iconic part of the culture that you must try before you leave. Rooted in a long-standing tradition of Swedish heritage, the legendary fika is beloved by locals and travelers alike.
Join us on a delightful, sweet, and tasty journey to discover the essence of Swedish Fika, what it is, and why it has become a loved and cherished practice for travelers around the globe.

Despite its relatively small population Sweden is a country of many traditions, perhaps none as lovely and cherished as the concept of having a ‘Fika’. The word ‘Fika’ dates back many centuries to the 1700s, when coffee was introduced to Sweden and is a mixture of the letters for the Swedish word for coffee; kaffi (later kaffe).
The Swedes quickly adopted coffee into their everyday life, and made the act of drinking coffee into a social event with pastries, snacks and social interactions – and thus the Swedish Fika was born. It doesn’t matter where, for how long or why you are in Sweden – you can not leave without treating yourself to a real Swedish Fika.

At its core, the Swedish Fika is an art form that encourages socializing, presence, mindfulness, stress relief, and enjoyment. When taking part in a Swedish Fika, you have to embrace the concept of ‘’lagom’ (a Swedish word for just enough).
The Swedish Fika is not about rushing through a cup of coffee and getting back to work; it is about cherishing each sip, every bite, and the delightful company. A real Swedish Fika is when you enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, with something sweet to enjoy on the side together with your friends, family, or colleagues. At home, at work, in a restaurant, at the park or in the forest -you can always have a real Swedish Fika wherever you are, as long as you have a good drink, snack and amazing company.
Many Swedes enjoy the Fika multiple times a day and it is more of a rule than an exception that companies have mandatory ‘’fika breaks’’ during the day. The breaks are usually around 10 a.m and 15 p.m and takes around 15 to 30 minutes. During that time you can enjoy some coffee, tea and pastries and casually socialize with your colleagues.

The centerpiece of Swedish Fika, just as it is during a regular coffee break, is perfectly brewed coffee. The most common type of coffee during a Swedish Fika is black coffee, but variations like espresso, cappuccino, and lattes are also accepted and enjoyed.
But just having coffee is not enough. The Swedish Fika would not be complete without a tempting array of pastries, or ‘’Fikabröd, as it’s called in Swedish. Here are some of the most popular pastries to serve during Fika:
● Chokladbollar (Chocolate balls)
● Dammsugare/Punschrulle(Vacuum Cleaners / Punsch rolls)
● Kanelbullar (Cinnamon buns)
● Chokladkakor (Chocolate biscuits)
● Vaniljdrömmar (Vanilla Dream Cookies)
● Hallongrottor (Raspberry caves)

What is the Swedish Vacuum Cleaner?
Svenska dammsugare is a marzipan coated oatmeal pastry with chocolate. The snack is tube-shaped and looks like the vacuum cleaners that were used in Sweden during the 20s, which gave it its name.
What is a Swedish Cinnamon Bun?
The kanelbulle is a true classic that you can find in almost every Swedish Fika. Svenska kanelbullar are not that different from ordinary cinnamon buns, except for the fact that they are often topped with pearl sugar instead of icing.

Swedish Fika is More Than Just a Snack or Coffe Break – It Is a Social Event

Equally important to the Swedish Fika as the coffee and pastries is the social aspect. The Swedish Fika is all about taking a break from your daily routines and connecting with others in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
No matter if you are in the company of friends, co-workers, family, or total strangers, it is important to be social during the Fika. So put away your phone, interact with your Fika-companions, and enjoy the sweet, tasty, and wonderful experience of a real Swedish Fika.

Where Goods are delivered by instalments, each instalment shall be deemed to be a separate Contract and shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Failure by the Customer to make payment by the due date for any instalment entitles the Company, without prejudice to any other rights it may have under the Contract, to suspend deliveries of Goods to the Customer.

9. Loss Or Damage In Transit

(a) No liability in respect of Goods lost or damaged in transit will attach to the Company unless the Customer notifies the Company in writing within 24 hours of delivery.

10. Errors

11. Risk and Title in the Goods

(a) Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until such time as the Goods have been paid for in full and all sums due to the Company under the Contract between the Company and the Customer have been paid in full. Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery.

(b) For so long as the Customer remains in possession of the Goods and whilst title thereto remains with the Company, the Customer shall: (i) store the Goods separately from other Goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property; (ii) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; (iii) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on the Company’s behalf from the date of delivery; (iv) notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii); and (vi) give the Company such information relating to the Goods as the Company may require from time to time, but the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) If, before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii), or the Company reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii), or the Customer’s financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in the Company’s opinion the Customer’s capability to adequately fulfil its obligations under the Contract has been placed in jeopardy, then without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have: (i) the Customer’s right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of business ceases immediately; and (ii) the Company may at any time require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold, and if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises where the Goods are held in order to repossess them.

12. Cancellation and Returns

(a) The Customer may only cancel an Order, once the Company has taken any steps to commence the fulfilment of the Order, with the Company’s prior written consent (which may be given by email, and at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion). The Company will refuse to accept any Goods returned to the Company without prior permission. Custom-made or modified products are non-returnable.

(b) Goods can only be returned by the Customer following authorisation in writing from the Company’s Sales Manager (which may include email) and a returns number. Goods must be returned by the Customer to the Company within 7 days of the date of issue of the returns number.

(c) In respect of any Goods returned to the Company with its permission or the cancellation of any Contract which is accepted at the sole discretion of the Company, the Customer shall be responsible for returning the Goods to the Company (including the cost of returning the Goods) and to pay to the Company an administration/restocking charge of 20% of the total value of the Contract price. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any refund given by the Company to the Customer for such Goods the cost of delivery of the Goods to the Customer and the restocking charge. Acceptance of any cancellation by the Company shall be without prejudice to any liabilities which have arisen under these conditions prior to acceptance of cancellation, and are subject to the Goods being returned to the Company packaged in the same manner as they were originally sent.

13. Termination

(a) If during the Contract:

(i) any distress or execution is levied against the Customer’s property or assets, or the Customer makes or seeks to make any arrangement or composition with any of its creditors, or the Customer (being an individual) is the subject of a bankruptcy petition or order; or a petition is filed, a notice is given, resolution is passed, or order made, for the winding up of the Customer; an application or order is made for the appointment of an administrator, or an administrator is appointed, over the Customer’s assets; a person becomes entitled to appoint a receiver, or a receiver is appointed, over the Customer; or the Customer suspends, or threatens to suspend, payment of its debts, or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due;

(ii) the equivalent of any of the foregoing events occurs with respect to the Customer in any jurisdiction to which it is subject;

(iii) the Customer ceases or threatens to cease trading; or

(iv) the Customer defaults in any payment or commits a breach of any of its obligations under the Contract or any other Contract with the Company, the Company shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, to terminate immediately the Contract and any other Contract with the Customer and/or to suspend deliveries under the Contract and/or such other Contract.

(b) On termination of the Contract for whatever reason the Company shall be entitled to invoice for Goods delivered but not yet invoiced and the Customer shall immediately pay to the Company all outstanding unpaid invoices and interest.

(c) Termination of the Contract, however arising, shall not affect any of the parties’ rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities that have accrued as at termination. On termination of the Contract for whatever reason, any conditions which expressly or by implication have effect after termination shall continue in full force and effect.

14. Limitation Of Liability

(a) Nothing in these conditions shall limit or exclude Company’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence; or fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability which cannot be limited or excluded under law.

(b) Subject to condition 14(a):

(i) the Company shall under no circumstances be liable to the Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any: loss of profit; loss of reputation or goodwill; loss or revenue; loss of operation or use; loss of contract or business; loss of opportunity or anticipated savings; or indirect or consequential loss, arising under or in connection with the Contract;

(ii) the total aggregate liability of the Company to the Customer (whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) for any loss or damage of whatsoever nature and however caused shall be limited to and shall not exceed the invoice price of the Goods in respect of which such liability has arisen; and

(iii) unless otherwise set out herein, all warranties, conditions, guarantees or assurances (whether implied by statute, common law or otherwise) are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company makes no express or implied warranties or conditions whatsoever.

15. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Contract to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event means any event beyond the Company’s control, including riot, civil commotion, strikes, lockout, industrial disputes (whether of its own workforce or a third party’s), default of suppliers or subcontractors, breakdown of plant or machinery, legislation or regulation, wilful damage, unavailability of transport, power or materials, acts of God, earthquake, flood, natural disasters, extreme adverse weather conditions, fire, accident or theft or any other event outside the Company’s control. In such circumstances, the Company may suspend or postpone its obligations or any of them under the Contract until such Force Majeure Event has ceased.

16. Indemnity

The Customer shall indemnify the Company against any expense, liability, loss, claim, proceedings, damages or costs suffered or incurred by the Company arising out of a breach by the Customer of any term of the Contract (including breach of the warranty in condition 5(a)), negligence, or breach of statutory duty of the Customer, its agents or sub-contractors, however caused and whether directly or indirectly, provided that the Customer shall not be called upon to indemnify the Company against any liability for personal injury or death, or loss or damage, directly and solely caused by the wrongful act or omission of the Company, its servants or agents for whose negligence the Company is liable at law.

17. General

(a) The Company may assign all or any of its rights and obligations under the Contract. The Customer may not assign any of its rights or obligations under the Contract without the Company’s prior written consent.

(b) No failure delay or indulgence of the Company in exercising any power or right conferred upon it by these conditions or by statute or by common law shall operate as a waiver of any power or right and neither shall any single or partial exercise of such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the subsequent exercise of any other power or right.

(c) If any provision of these conditions is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of any provision of these conditions shall not prejudice or affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder.

(d) A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights to enforce its terms.

(e) The headings in these conditions are for reference only and shall not affect their construction.

18. Notices

Any notice given by a party under the Contract shall be in writing and sent by first class post to: (a) to the Company at Himmelsö AB; and (b) to the Customer at the address set out in the Order. Notices shall be deemed to have been given at 9.00 am on the second working day after posting. Notices may not be given by fax or email.

19. Governing Law
