We want people to realize it's okay to think outside the box'
Carolynn Baker and Pearly Teo have opened their own café in Gothenburg, and it's nothing like traditional Swedish fika.
As many of The Local's international readers may agree, being thrust into the unknown by moving to a new country like, for example, Sweden sometimes feels like you have fallen down the rabbit hole.
But for two Alice in Wonderland fans from the US and Singapore, this is exactly where they wanted to be.
So when Carolynn Baker and Pearly Teo opened a new café in Gothenburg, they both agreed to turn it into a wonderful, chaotic mishmash of colours, flavours and most of all, fun.
"We don't take life so seriously, we want to encourage people to be more creative and embrace it, realize that it's okay to think outside the box," says 29-year-old Baker, a passionate ice tea drinker from Texas, who moved to Sweden seven years ago.
She and Teo speak to The Local just a few weeks after opening the doors to their Down the Rabbit Hole Café.
