Who we are and what we do
Scandibunz are Susanne and Bobby.
We both grew up in kitchens and have based our buns on the Nordic style cinnamon and cardamom buns.
With the opening of our lunch bar we have extended our offering to traditional Swedish sandwiches, served open faced on the type of bread eaten in Scandinavia. Think rye and whole grain. The bread, just as our buns and all toppings are made from scratch in store.

the consumed items at such a gathering.
VERB
the activity of enjoying a fika.
Fika has been part of the Scandinavian culture since the 18th century when the population started enjoying coffee in large quantities.
FIKA is actually an anagram of the Swedish word for coffee (KAFFE) as pronounced by Swedish tanners in their local dialect (a way of speaking similar to Cockney’s rhyming slang).
The historical importance of fika can be seen in this image of Swedish National Artist Carl Larsson from the turn of the 20th Century (click image for link to wiki).
