## Fika is a pause, not a drink
Swedes do not "grab a coffee". They take fika: coffee or tea, something sweet, and unhurried time with other people. It happens at home, at work, and increasingly on boats.
## What belongs on the table
The classic pairing is strong filter coffee and a kanelbulle, the cinnamon bun scented with cardamom. Kardemummabulle, chokladboll and a slice of kladdkaka are all fair game.
## How we do it on board
On the Swedish Fika Boat Tour we bake the buns the same morning, pour endless coffee, and let the archipelago slide past while you sit. No rush, no schedule beyond the return time.
## Fika etiquette for visitors
Say yes when invited. Do not eat and run. Two hours is normal. That is the whole point.
