About Fika
05:10 · shaping, Södermalm
Fika started in 2014 with one oven on Nytorgsgatan and a simple rule: bake once, at five, and sell it while it is warm.
We still work that way. The dough is folded the day before, proofed overnight and baked before the city wakes up. When the shelves are empty we close the book for the day; nothing is kept for tomorrow.
Three shops later the bakery is still in the first one, and every croissant in Stockholm that carries our name comes out of that room.
Fresh means this morning. We would rather sell out than sell yesterday's.
Three days for a croissant, 36 hours for a loaf. There is no shortcut we like the taste of.
Every cup is made when you ask for it, by someone who knows your name by Friday.
No portraits. Ask any of us what we would eat and this is what you get.

Elin is in before the trams run. The stone deck needs an hour to reach 250 degrees.

Baker's note First loaf in at 04:50
Dough that proved overnight is shaped by hand: buns tied, croissants rolled, loaves turned into their baskets.
Baker's note 412 buns tied this morning
The first trays come out. Croissants rest ten minutes, bread sings on the rack for an hour.
Baker's note Do not cut the bread yet
The counter is full and the coffee is on. From now on it only gets emptier.

I plan my mornings around the cinnamon buns. If you come after ten they are gone.
