Fika Bakery
Brighton’s newest bakery bring Scandi style
Fika Bakery is Brighton & Hove’s newest wholesale and retail bakery, creating artisan Swedish baked goods. They supply cafes across the city and to a number of villages in Sussex with traditional cinnamon buns, cardamon buns and vanilla buns.
The business has seen a period of rapid growth as Swedish ‘Fika’ (translation: coffee and cake with friends) grows in popularity as well as a love for sticky Scandinavian buns. Fika Bakery is now expanding its range to provide a lunch menu of speciality rolls, prepared quiches and filled flatbreads, as well as a bread range to include traditional rye, cereal and sourdough loaves.
Stockholm to Brighton
Fika Bakery was founded by Jenny Engvall, who has 30 years’ bakery experience. She started working in some of the best bakeries in Stockholm, before moving to London to create afternoon teas at The Ritz. “The UK is falling in love with all things Scandinavian right now, and our customers are reporting an incredible passion for cinnamon buns and cardamon buns. We’ve had to grow rapidly to keep up with demand.”
Great for Returning Customers
Fika Bakery has been selling direct to the public at The Open Market every Saturday, where it’s common for queues of 20 customers to snake back for the first hours of trading.
This has allowed the business to test our products and offer surefire winners to its wholesale customers. Cafes find that Fika Bakery’s products are eaten throughout the day, and word-of-mouth brings footfall into the venues that Fika Bakery supplies.
“Swedish fika should taste like heaven and contain the best, real ingredients”
