WELCOME TO FIKA FRIDAY!
We are a home based microbakery who bake on the second and last Friday's of the month as treats to share with friends (although enemies, strangers, colleagues or family would work well too!!)
Fika is a beautiful cultural concept first founded in Sweden - gathering a few others around a good cuppa and something tasty to eat, while enjoying meaningful conversation. Each of our boxes includes a conversation card!
We are an intentionally small social business, that keeps their bake runs little
and keeps their product list small - we currently bake
Swedish cinnamon buns, sourdough & focaccia.
Our heart is to encourage and inspire great conversations while eating something tasty - bringing a culture of fika right here to the Golden City of Dreams (aka Carlisle!)
Fika Friday
Cinnamon Buns
Introducing our signature product: Swedish cinnamon buns infused with a touch of cardamom.
We bake these delightful treats to foster
connection and community.
Many local businesses already enjoy these buns during their coffee breaks, using our conversation cards to enhance team bonding.
We bake on the 2nd and last Friday's of the month and offer these boxes either on a monthly Subscription,
or as a one off treat!
Focaccia
We've recently introduced trays of sourdough focaccia to our offering. These are the perfect accompaniment to your Friday evening meal and we'd love to inspire you to welcome a few more folks around your table to share them with (we reckon they serve 8 people)!
All of our products come with a little conversation card - and with each delivery we like to change these up!
As you travel through checkout, you can choose what flavour focaccia you'd like and whether you'd like subscription or a one off delivery

Sourdough Loaves
We offer these great for your gut loaves, delivering them straight to your door!
Our sourdough contains Carrs flour, water and salt to get all that good stuff in your gut! An awesome alternative to over processed shop bought bread.
We've priced each loaf at £3.50* to keep them as accessible as possible and bake them on the 2nd and
last Friday's of the month.
* And a small charge for delivery.
FAQS
Useful Information
DO YOU OFFER GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE ITEMS?
Currently our buns contain both gluten and dairy in them - we've listed in each of the product info as you travel through check out. And although our sourdough and focaccia don't directly contain dairy products - they are created in an environment where there may be traces of milk and egg.
HOW DO I KEEP MY PURCHASES FRESH?
Our buns are best eaten on the day of purchase and are freshly made each Friday morning…they may even arrive to you still slightly warm! You can gently warm them in the oven if you'd like and we find they do even taste great heated the next day!
Our focaccia is best on the day of delivery, however you can heat this in an oven (about 180 degrees) for about 10 mins or you can cut and freeze this in an airtight bag/container.
Our bread keeps well if you keep it in an airtight environment for a couple of days, or you can freeze to toast later (we recommend slicing first) - however, we've found from customer feedback that it doesn't last long before being devoured!!
WHAT IS FIKA?
Fika is a Swedish concept that’s all about gathering with a few others over coffee and a delicious baked item. In many work places in Sweden, fika time is an integral part of the working day. Pausing to enjoy a break together. Good conversation is essential to our well-being and our conversation cards can help fuel a fika moment wherever you choose to share your box!
I’M NOT IN THE POSTCODES YOU DELIVER TO - CAN I COLLECT?
We're up for the conversation! Send us a wee message if you're interesting in collecting your purchase - regardless of your location.
ANY WAY I SHOULD EAT THE BUNS?
They are ideal with a hot drink like coffee or tea, but we’d love to hear how you like to enjoy yours! Many of us are familiar with cinnamon rolls and although not completely different, our kannelbullar (cardamom buns) are a slightly different texture, some would say feel a little lighter to eat…although our words can’t fully describe them…order some to experience them for yourself!
WHATS THE INGREDIENTS?
Our ingredients are listed with each of our products as your travel through check out. Be mindful to share these with guests before serving!
