Join the Young Professionals of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce on a SUNDAY FIKA.

It is the time of the year to celebrate every pastry-lovers favorite day – Fettisdagen – at Selma’s. This day we munch on a traditional “Semla” – one of the most popular buns in Sweden.  A semla is a sweet bun containing a lot of whipped cream, almond paste, and sugar. It does sound quite interesting, right? Take the chance of eating a traditionally baked one baked from our own Swedish Café in Amsterdam.

When – 23 February, 15.00

Where – Selma’s Nordic Bakery Cafe

Jan van Galenstraat 70h
1056 CC Amsterdam
Netherlands

Registration –  Registration compulsory before 21 February to make sure that you have a spot and a semla.

Price – Participation is free of charge but coffee and pastries are paid by yourself.

Estimated price:
Coffee & tea 3 euro
Semla or other pastries 4 euro
