Discovering must-have products for fika!
In Sweden, there’s a word for slowing down — not out of laziness, but out of care. It’s called fika. More than just a coffee break, fika is a ritual. A daily moment to pause, reflect, and connect — ideally with a warm drink and something sweet on the side.
At Taste of Nord, we believe fika is one of the most beautiful traditions the North has to offer. It turns ordinary moments into something meaningful. And just like any proper ritual, it deserves the right companions.
We’ve gathered a few of our favorite fika essentials, straight from Sweden:
- Zoégas – a rich, dark roast coffee beloved across Sweden, especially in the southern regions. Bold, aromatic, and built for lingering conversations.
- Göteborgs Kex – makers of classic biscuits and cookies like Ballerina, perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Delicato – famous for their beloved chocolate balls (chokladbollar) and creamy pastries. Soft, sweet, and nostalgic in every bite.
- Marabou – no fika is truly complete without a square (or three) of Sweden’s iconic chocolate. Whether it’s the classic milk or the salty licorice twist, it always satisfies.
Unleashing the power of joy
Fika isn’t rushed. It’s not multitasking. It’s not checking your phone between sips. It’s a small rebellion against busyness — a quiet moment of pleasure.
So whether you’re working from home, meeting a friend, or simply needing a breath between tasks, build your own fika moment. Choose your favorite cup. Brew strong coffee. Add something sweet, something Swedish — and pause.
