	Description:		When was the last time you intentionally took a break during the day? Fika Bakery & Coffee in Three Lakes gets its name from the traditional Swedish coffee break known as fika and the woman behind it thinks you should take more of them. Mackenzie Martin continues our We Live Up Here series this week with the story. Coffee breaks are and have always been an important part of life in many countries. In the U.S., we often use coffee as a stimulant to get us going in the morning or to refuel us midday. In Sweden however, their coffee break, known as Fika, is a lot more about slowing down and taking an actual break. In Three Lakes there is a bakery and coffee shop called Fika that is the embodiment of this Swedish concept. If you ever go into their location downtown, one of the first people you might meet is Cecily Sharpe. She’s only five years old, but she told me her job title was President of Customer Relations. She says Fika exists because “mom just needed a bakery.” Fika Bakery
