Cafe
Reykjavik Roasters is a renowned coffee spot in Reykjavik, celebrated for its exceptional brews and skilled baristas who have won awards worldwide. With two locations, one near Hallgrimskirkja church and the other close to Hlemmur Square, it's a popular choice for locals and tourists alike. The original location on Karastigur boasts a modern interior but limited seating, while the second location offers a hipster vibe with unique decor and fine coffee options.
Cute simple stop for coffee and a light bite. We got cappuccinos with oat milk, porridge & the toast with red pesto. Staff was really nice. Found seating pretty quickly. Overall very good.
Melissa B — Google review
A proper coffee shop; no decaf, no syrups. Coffee and pastry were nice, over £12, however the service I received was not appreciated. I only noticed something was not right after standing there and drinks arriving to those who came way after me. This happened because of a shift change I believe. When I thought it was my drink as she said flat white, I asked if it was oat. She stated no, it's normal and I said that I was waiting a while and other drinks were being served. She said, without looking at me, it's not your fault, it's not my fault, nobody told me. Fair enough but you can see I'm the only one standing there for a while. Luckily kids were waiting patiently, the vibe inside is chill. And then kids played outside in the open play area while I had my coffee and they shared their hazelnut chocolate croissant.

Reykjavik Roasters is a good local coffee shop. The atmosphere feels bright and surprisingly colorful. The staff did not put off the same vibe. They were on task and executed the orders with a robotic like precision. The coffee itself was pleasant but didn’t give me that first “wow” sip in the morning boost that I get at my favorite coffee shop. I still recommend it if you’re in the city and craving your caffeine fix.

Best cup of coffee on Reykjavík - well done and an adorable shop…roast is light and smooth. Service was wonderful and you can sit and stay or they did do take away…which we were meeting friends so grabbed it Togo.

The bakery welcomes you to take photos, it has the best cinnamon rolls. We bought 3 different pastries but the cinnamon roll was the first one to be finished. There was a line to get service but it moved very fast.

The location is perfect, set up in a small house on the intersection between main roads leading into town and roads leading up to the cathedral. It’s cute and full of coffee paraphernalia. As a bigger man, it feels a bit cramped, but the coffee is high quality, which makes up for a lack of space during peak time, and the staff are kind and friendly, so it’s worthwhile. Sadly, prices have gone up a lot! But the last time I visited was well over ten years ago…

Crowded and SUPER rude staff, no smile, not friendly, cashier basically rolled her eyes at me and couldn’t wish we get out there faster. Maybe it’s an Icelandic thing? It’s our first day in Iceland, very disappointing, was gonna buy beans from them, very glad we didn’t

Café Babalú is a charming and cozy spot located on a favorite street in Reykjavik. The café's bright and unusual decor, spread over two levels, creates a warm and uplifting vibe that can brighten even the gloomiest of days. With its quirky and eclectic furnishings, including mismatched furniture and pop culture memorabilia, Café Babalú offers a playful and homely atmosphere.
This is a totally cool café! While we only had coffee (excellent cappuccino) there is also savoury food and cakes! The bathroom is an experience in itself - make sure you don’t miss it!
Heidi H — Google review
Went there twice during our trip. We ordered toast, tomato soup, and cauliflower soup — all amazing. The staff we met were polite, and the restaurant's decoration was quite original, definitely worth seeing. The best thing about this place is that it's pretty affordable for Iceland. We had a great time!
Alma M — Google review
The first impression when entering was nice but the guy that served us looked like a rehabilitated addict that never worked in a café before. When trying to place the chocolate cake on the plate he touched it with his finger and licked it after and wash it only with water and no soap. We were in shock when witnessing that. He tried to hide the mess with whipped cream but I haven’t asked for it on the chocolate cake. The apple crumble with the syrup looks like someone just threw up on the plate. The place is cute.

We enjoyed sotting outside this little cafe. The coffee selection was very good. I enjoyed a chai latte and my companion a regular coffee. The food was good, and we appreciated the side salad. I had a breakfast grilled ham and cheese. The bread was seedy and delicious.

A nice cozy cafe. The coffee crumb cake and skyr ostakaka (Icelandic cheese cake with berry jelly) were delicious! I really like the atmosphere, it’s quirky and eclectic with lots of vintage art and nick-nacks. Check out the 2nd floor, it has a Flintstones mural with old vintage Flinstones memorabilia.

A nice place and unique in feel with all currency notes hanging across the interiors. The food and the coffee was good. The crepes were also good. The soup was ok. Overall a good pitstop, Seating was a bit tight

The 2 stars i am giving are for location and decór. The food is simply unacceptable. I had a toast that was dry and tasteless and when i asked for some mayonnaise for the chips (chips out of a bag), it was brought to me unwillingly. The chocolate chip cookie was truly ineadible. My friend's chocolate crépe was not that great either. Pitty.

Mokka Kaffi holds a significant place in Reykjavik's history as the city's first coffee house, introducing Icelanders to espresso for the first time in 1958. Initially met with skepticism, it soon became a popular spot for locals to gather over a cup of coffee.
Great spot for freshly made coffee and waffles. With the muted colors and carpeted floor, you’ll feel like you’re in a ski chalet after enjoying a day on the slopes! Their delicious waffles are their specialty…don’t forget the thick whipped cream.

Old, Cozy, Classic with art. Beside rainbow road and tourist. It could be calm or very busy place. Good coffee !!! Waffles is recommend.
Vala — Google review
Got a cappuccino and the coconut roll. They were both solid, the coconut roll was very unique—like a paste covered in marzipan, very very sweet. You can only have a couple of bites and need to eat it with a coffee. What stands out the most is the atmosphere; it is extremely cozy and serene. Maybe the quietest cafe I’ve been in with patrons. Probably an amazing spot for reading when it’s cold out. Great for trying to experience a spot the locals love.

My husband and I will go on record to say this cafe has the BEST Hot Chocolate we've ever had, in any country, ever! I am gluten free and there were many food options to enjoy as well - the almond pastry and gf bread with butter, ham and cheese were fantastic. My husband really enjoys the waffles. Already have another trip to Iceland planned and this stop is one of the first on the list!

Cute little spot right on Rainbow Road with amazing waffles. Painted red with the door propped open, we felt welcome. We walked in early afternoon and grabbed a booth. You order at the counter and they make fresh your delicious waffle. You have a choice of 4 toppings, we went with the most popular Whipped Cream and Jam. The whipped cream not sweet, so mixing it with the strawberry jam is perfect. The 2 large sweet waffles and a bottle of Coke came to 2.635,00 ISK. Sounds like a lot of money, but it was worth the price of $20.62.

Is it too early to say this is my favourite Reykjavík cafe after only having been here for one day and visiting two cafes? I came here for a quick grilled sandwich lunch before heading to the harbour area and – after spending 3 hours out on the cold sea – came right back for waffles and a good hot chocolate. Very cozy, great location. Perfect place for a quick lunch or to warm up after spending hours in the cold. Great selection of toasts and sweets (and less crowded than Sandholt).

Te & Kaffi is the leading chain of coffee shops in Iceland, boasting 15 establishments including regular coffee shops, Micro-Roast coffee shops, and a Micro-Roast Vinbar. Despite its size, Te & Kaffi maintains the essence of a third wave specialty coffee house at its location on Adhalstraeti street, where Reykjavik's first Viking settled.
Great location for a excellent filter coffee (free refill) & cappuccino. Nice atmosphere, soft music in background. You order in the front for takeaway or to sit inside, you give your name and when ready your name will be called to get your order.

We visited Te & Kaffi while waiting to check in to our hotel and it was perfect (we were there for probably 3 hours)! There's loads of seating in the back and you can easily wheel your suitcase through (we had 2 large ones) and the staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. Quite reasonably priced too I think :)

Wonderful atmosphere and service. The coffee and food were excellent. The place was a bit busy, which was not surprising for a Saturday noon. It is rather pricey, like everything else in Iceland. They didn't have enough personnel to clean the tables, so I had to move a few used cups to the edge of my table to make room for my order. Nevertheless, I would definitely visit that place again.

I stopped by this Icelandic coffee chain to grab a Flat White to go with a pastry that I picked up from a nearby bakery. It was robust, bold, smooth and comforting to sip on while walking back to our hotel. This shop initially looks small with just a couple seats up front near the counter, however, the space opens up into a comfortable dining area with several tables in the back. In addition to coffee and sweet baked goods, their menu also featured Croque Monsieur, bagels and toast options. All I needed was a coffee to go, but if I had more time that morning, this would be a nice cozy spot for a simple breakfast.

Located in the heart of Reykjavik, Kaffibrennslan is a cozy and inviting cafe that transforms into a lively spot at night. During the day, it offers an array of sandwiches, soups, and coffee drinks. The second floor provides a charming loft area with window seating overlooking the bustling street below. In addition to their excellent coffees and pastries, they also serve beers, wines, and soft drinks.
The cafe is cozy and has many options in its menu. There’s many spots where you can have a seat and enjoy your coffee. Something nice and interesting is that you can find free postcards by the door. And lastly there’s happy hour as well.

Not to busy today when we visited. Nice cosy atmosphere and appeared very clean and staff courteous and friendly. Nice selection of pastries and nice nibbles. The flat white coffees were piping hot and tasty. The toilets were upstairs and 13 steps to overcome the obstacle. Couldn't find any Disabled toilets so beware if you are a wheelchair operator. Also to gain entry to this cafe there are 2 or 3 steps front or back and you would have to collapse your wheelchair as there are no ramps. This was the reason for only 4 stars rating, but if you can walk in it's well worth it. Outside on the pavement is a glass greenhouse with little tables for inclement weather but not sure regards access to wheelchair based customers.

Visited this location in October 2025. Cozy place with quite a few options for food and seating. Seating: inside and stairs, inside on main floor, outside in covered area. Food: nice amount of options, I got the Griskt jogurt that was very tasty. My wife got a croissant that was pleasant. Drinks: Good tea options, and the hot chocolate was delicious. Service team was kind and helpful. Would/will visit this location again. Thank you!

We went for something to breakfast and we tried croissant du chocolat and a cake with jam (don’t remember the name), we added one expresso double and one flat white, all was good enough, but the skyr (yogurt) definitely were THE best!!

Kaffitár is a prominent name in Iceland's coffee scene, boasting a history dating back to the early 90s and credited with nurturing renowned baristas. With a roastery and seven cafes, it has become one of the country's leading chains. The majority of its coffee is sourced through direct trade from Latin America, emphasizing high quality and sustainability. Each location offers a cozy retreat from Reykjavik's bustling streets, known for their comfortable ambiance and warm service.
Great little coffee shop, with doughnuts and ham and cheese croissants( they will gladly heat up for you) and over tasty bake goods. Ask about their seasonal coffee and tea flavors which was really good! I have no idea why someone would give them 2 stars for not having more? It’s a great little joint with coffee and coffee house products! It’s serves coffee!?! :)) will go back tomorrow for my coffee!

Enough seats and a cozy environment mixing locals and tourists, unfortunately it disappointed me some how. The team was friendly tho. 1 star missing is because of the coffee. The cappuccino I got is lack of taste and not creamy. As a big brand, I was expecting something better.. Another one missing is that I found out a new roll of toilet paper was on the floor and dirty..

Walking through the streets of Reykjavik and need a quick cup of coffee or just want to warm up for a bit? This place will do. Although seating could feel a tad cramped, it sort of goes with the coffee vibe. Not a place where I'd read a book but the beverages are good, confectionery is good, service is good.

Nice and modern interior. Friendly and helpful staff, but looks like a tourist trap. There was some locals but the place ia a bit crowdy, full of tourist. However if you don't mind, you will get really good coffee, an awsome brownie and banana bread. Latte + cappuccino + brownie + banana bread = £20

Decently sure this is an Icelandic chain, but had good coffee. Crossaint and a latte was about $11 USD which I didn't think was too bad considering that's what I would pay for a Starbucks back home. I really loved their vegan crossiant! I was impressed a crossiant could be that good without real butter. Service is quick and has to go and dine-in options

Jökull (Frappuccino with Licorices flavour) This is absolutely out of expectations!

Great coffee shop. Different brew methods available. Batch filter is free refill and it tasted good, well balanced blend. Good beans. Several origins on offer at any time. Snacks and sweets available. Good layout, colourful and bright, comfortable seats. Friendly and happy staff. Relaxed atmosphere. They roast their own beans, which are available to buy. I enjoyed it very much. Would definitely come gain and would definitely recommend.

Located in the Vesturbaer district of Reykjavik, Kaffihús Vesturbæjar is a charming café housed in a former pharmacy, retaining its beautiful shelves and marble counter.

Lost a customer today .. shame ! I have been a patron for years: not anymore! Extremely rude Spaniard employee at the counter, gave me a “dress down” for taking in a gluten free muffin bought next door to have with “their” pricy cappuccino, after her colleague shortly earlier advised me to do so, being their kitchen closed ( by 2 min only , I’d like to add) and could not “ possibly “ accommodate any food requests to serve that I could eat . A bit of emotional intelligence, empathy , common sense and good manners go a long way in business , dear Kaffihús Vesturbæjar owner. Just a thought! Regards .

Nice neighborhood café for breakfast. Good espresso drinks, and you can pick up pastries from Brauð & Co right next door. The granola with skyr and berries was fresh and tasty (the blueberries here are surprisingly big). The place has a unique style and seems mostly local outside of the more touristy areas of the city. A good spot to sit, read, or grab a bite if you’re nearby.

Kaffi Vest is located in a building that used to house a pharmacy. They have kept some cabinets and other items from that time which help lend the place a relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly staff. The coffee is good, even great as they claim themselves, and beer and wine are available if you’re in the mood for that. In addition to bread and pastries which are served all day they have lunch and dinner menus consisting mostly of sandwiches, burgers and soup.

Kattakaffihúsið, Reykjavik's pioneering cat cafe, offers a unique twist to the traditional Icelandic coffee scene. Originating from Japan, the concept of a cat cafe may seem unconventional in Iceland, but Kattakaffihúsið has carved out its niche by providing a cozy cafe experience along with opportunities for cat adoption.
Let’s be real, we all came here for the cats. The cafe is super cute and set up in a perfect way to be a safe, fun, relaxing place for cats and a cute cafe! I was only concerned with seeing cats, but the drink I ordered ended up being fantastic too! I had a chai latte and it was amazing. Must stop for cat lovers 😻

This cat cafe is so cute! I had a sparkling juice drink which was good. Great place to wind down after walking around, and the atmosphere here is chill and calm. I was able to find a number of cats in certain areas!

Cutest cafe I’ve ever been 😍 cat lovers will love this place. It’s so cozy with cats laying around and atmosphere is just like at home! I will definitely come back :)

Came here for the cats and also saw there was good food - turns out NOT. We ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and had only one thin slice of cheese so basically it was just bread. And the lime muffin had like zero taste. So, come here for the cats, they are lovely 😻but not expect much about the food.

This place was too cute! I had a light breakfast here and enjoyed seeing and petting the cats. They definitely own this place! The food choice was amazing! So many different pastries to choose from, it's hard to pick which one you want! Along with the drinks. I got a slice of carrot cake with green tea and sat on the fancy couch and watched the cats do their thing. It's so great to see the customers interact with the cats too. They are so chill and will come to you if they want. If you like food and you like cats and want the best of both, come here!

We were curious to see what the cat cafe was all about so we headed over to it. It’s a block or two away from the main tourist streets. The exterior pink paint looks like it could use a refresh. The coffee drinks and vegan sandwich we ordered were ok. The staff was not particularly pleasant or nice. The cats were cute…

The vibe of this coffee shop is warm and inviting and yet peaceful. A perfect place to study or relax after travelling. The manager Jess was so freindly and kind. She even chatted with me since I was having a little bit of a rough day. My cappuccino was perfection and just the right size and my boyfriend’s flat white was super smooth. All around a lovely cafe with a calm nordic vibe and friendly service, well worth a stop.

Decent spot for a quick brew, but the experience fell short. Staff seemed inattentive and missed key parts of our order—we asked for an espresso tonic but were given a soda instead. The matcha latte was overly sweet, and when we returned it, we were offered a substitute tea (which cost less), but no gesture or apology to make up for the mix-up. A bit more attention to detail and customer care would go a long way.

Really cute coffee shop. This place was recommended by a chef at OX, a high end restaurant in Reykjavik. I also heard another icelandic person say this is her favorite coffee place.

Sandholt is a historic family-run bakery in Reykjavik, known for its wide variety of freshly baked goods, including sourdough bread, pastries, and cakes. The cozy eatery offers breakfast staples, sandwiches, and pastries alongside coffee and organic wines. The French-style pastries and bread are highly praised for their close resemblance to the original concept. Visitors can enjoy items from the breakfast menu such as shakshuka and pancakes topped with Icelandic strawberries.
Don’t let the queue to eat in scare you! It moves quite fast and the experience is well worth it. My friends and I enjoyed a variety of dishes and the pastries. The kleina was a standout! Probably one of the best we’ve had in Iceland. Surprisingly the yogurt with lemon curd was my favorite dish. The thick, creamy yogurt paired with the lemon curd was incredibly decadent. The interiors are warm and cozy. Despite the busyness, they are able to maintain a relaxing atmosphere. My friends and I were delighted that we got to sit in a booth filled with pillows. We felt right at home ☺️

Wednesday at 10:00 am and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Friendly hostess and waiter. Our order wasn’t put in and after everyone around us received their drinks and food the waiter realized his error. We weren’t in a hurry and things happen. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend any of the pastry selection! We stopped back after walking around the city for a loaf of sourdough bread too.

The best bakery and lunch spot in Reykjavik! We have been here several days and noticed the line always out the door here and there’s a good reason! The line moves fast, waited about 10 minutes. Food, atmosphere, and service were 10/10. We had the pasta of the day, chicken salad, and tried several desserts. Everything was fresh and delicious. We will be back before we return home!

We came twice and had very different experiences. The first time, we came early and were sat at a table without much issues. Our server may have been new but was not familiar with the pastries and asked us to point at them on our phone (pictures). Otherwise it was a pleasant breakfast and the pastries (poppyseed bun, cinnamon danish, pan au chocolat, croissant, and a honey bun) were very good. Coffee and tea were well made. 5/5 experience. On our second trip the server was more knowledgeable but seemed to not care at all. She rushed us to order and offered no pleasantries (which would have been fine if not for the other issues). We ordered a poppyseed bun, pistachio danish, doughnut, waffle with bacon, lemon poppyseed bread and a salted pretzel. When the food came, we learned that she hadn’t heard us correctly when we ordered the pretzel and punched in an extra waffle instead. We pointed this out and the server acted like we had changed our order, giving us an attitude. Most of the laminated dough pastries were delicious, however the lemon poppyseed bread was dry and mealy. We finally got the pretzel after the other food had been finished (no rush at all for a cold pretzel they grabbed from the display) and they had brought one with no salt. At this point we just ate it and then paid (where we learned she had punched in 3 waffles from the cashier). Overall: Ambiance 4/5 Service 1/5 Laminated Pastries 5/5 Waffle 5/5 Soft Breads 4/5 Cake Breads 1/5 Pretzel 3/5 Coffee/Teas 4/5

This is one of the most popular bakeries in Reykjavik, and for good reason! We loved their pastries and couldn’t help but go back for a second time right before we had to fly back home. Get there early if you can! The crowd seems to pick up after 9:00A. In addition to serving up a variety of baked goods and chocolates, Sandholt is also a restaurant that serves actual breakfast and lunch dishes. When we went in at 9:30A one day, the entryway was packed with people waiting in line for pastries and others waiting for a table to dine in. + POPPY SEED BUN: This twisted golden bun was soft and bready, sprinkled evenly with poppy seeds and drizzled with a light sugary glaze. The bun itself didn’t have a strong flavor, but it goes well with a cup of coffee and was a great way to start the day. + PISTACHIO DANISH: This flaky pastry had a slight crispiness and was swirled with crushed pistachios. The layers were buttery and thin and I liked how this wasn’t too sweet. + BROWN SUGAR BUN: A must! Similar to a cinnamon roll, this bun was delightfully soft with a brown sugar cinnamon spread inside. Small pipings of frosting came on top, finished with crunchy chocolate pearls. Some of the brown sugar was caramelized on the bottom of the bun, giving it a little extra chew. It was such an indulgent treat. Pricing is not too bad considering the great quality of each pastry. If you only visit one bakery in Reykjavik, make sure it’s Sandholt!

Location: Laugavegur 36, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland — right on a main street in downtown.  • Type of place: Bakery / café / brunch spot. A long-standing family bakery with a mix of traditional and more modern items.  • History: Operating since 1920, and still under family oversight. They maintain a blend of old recipes & baking traditions, but also innovate somewhat.  ⸻ Vibe & Atmosphere • Cozy, warm, pleasant interior; marble counters, nice presentation.  • A spot many locals & tourists like for relaxing, meeting friends, enjoying pastries & coffee.  • Often busy, especially mornings; queues are common, both for sit-in and takeaway

My boyfriend and I went here twice on our trip to Iceland! Both times the food and drinks were amazing! Super cozy restaurant with fresh made everything! The first time we went we got the Swiss mocha, orange juice, shashuka with pork and the salmon avocado toast! We also got a brown sugar bun that was a little too sweet for both of us but still really good. The second time we came here we got two Swiss mochas, the shashuka with bacon, the salmon avocado toast, the skyr with fruit and lemon curd, and we also got a chocolate cinnamon bun and a slice of marble cake to go. Everything was super delicious! My boyfriend ended up liking the shashuka with pork better but still said both options are great! We went on Saturdays both times around 12pm/1pm and the wait was only about 10mins or so just depends on your group size but they’re very efficient and friendly!

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place with great food, warm vibes, and a true Icelandic touch. 💛☕

Reykjavík Roasters, formerly known as Kaffismidhja Islands, has been a pivotal player in Reykjavik's coffee scene since its establishment in 2008. With multiple locations, the Asmundarsalur outpost stands out for its setting within a Bauhaus building turned exhibition space, offering stunning views of the iconic Hallgrimskika church.
Here’s the translation: Single-origin coffee from Brazil Santos – fresh, perfectly roasted, and very tasty. I had it as a cappuccino with oat milk – a very high level of coffee. A pleasant place with a young, welcoming atmosphere. Excellent service.

Reykjavik Roasters has several branches around the city including this place along Brautarholt street. There is a fair-sized indoor seating area, they do a typical coffee shop food menu along with their range of coffee drinks. Opening hours are 7am to 5pm daily. We stopped by recently and were served a very good espresso macchiato and americano. Espresso was bold with good flavour, both drinks were nicely prepared and tasted good. Dishes being served to other patrons during our visit looked pretty good as well. Would gladly return to Reykjavik Roasters based on this experience.

A very decent coffee shop. They seem to be part of a hotel. Coffee served was one of the better ones.

Some of the immersive videos are truly stunning.

Another must-see is the ice cave made of real ice and snow, which gives a unique sense of what it’s like inside a glacier. Overall, a great mix of education and entertainment, perfect for both adults and children. Definitely worth a visit while in Reykjavík!

The Laundromat Cafe in Reykjavik is a must-visit spot, especially for breakfast and brunch enthusiasts. The cafe offers a diverse menu featuring eggs prepared in various ways, pancakes, and beverages like coffee or Bloody Mary. With its unique laundromat theme, the restaurant provides a comfortable and sociable environment. It's well-known for its cozy ambiance, vibrant decor, and an array of meal options including burgers, salads, sandwiches, nachos, and vegetarian dishes.
After a long morning or exploring Reykjavik, the Laundromat was a chill spot to sit, rest, and enjoy a beer and some great food. We stumbled past the storefront while walking on a food tour or Reykjavik (something you MUST try), and the exterior was so inviting that we made a note that we needed to return. The inside is fun and vibrant. The ROYGBIV bookshelf bar counter is pleasing to the eyes, and the jet red chairs and chairs and lamp shades give a vibe of a cozy yet trendy coffee shop. The food was incredible and was affordable. You should definitely try one of the local beers. I'm not lying when I say, Iceland Beer is some of the best beer I have ever had, and I'm bummed you can't find it in the states. Viking beer was my absolute favorite. This location was very welcoming and the staff extremely hospitable. It's also located in the heart of Reykjavik. It's a must try place if you find yourself in the land of Fire & Ice! Cheers!!

Cute place with warm and inviting decor. We came for an early supper the day we arrived. It must have been the end of their day as service was inattentive. You order online at your table (which I dislike anyway). All the waiter does is bring you the food. We ordered a ham and cheese sandwich (ho hum) and fish and chips with coleslaw (which was awful) and chips. The fish was soft not crispy and greasy. A big disappointment since I thought it would be fabulous given the locale. The chips were great—the best thing they served. Very average meal especially for the price. We should have come for brunch as the pastries looked fresh and brunch menu more enticing. They also have a coffee machine offering espresso drinks.

Jan25 Café Rosenberg has a cozy atmosphere with a charming English-style interior. We enjoyed a hot chocolate and a soft drink in peace, as we were the only ones there. However, the service was confusing—after waiting 10 minutes, we realized it was self-service. Later, staff informed us we needed to pay first before drinks were served. While the setting is lovely, the communication could be improved.

An atmospheric cafe in the old part in the center of Reykjavik, where we can drink not only coffee, but also eat a good cake or drink beer. Characteristic interior design with lots of wood. Comfortable couches where you can relax. At the tables you can play chess, for example. Very good location, but no parking. Staff without a smile, which leaves much to be desired.

This might be my favorite coffee place anywhere. Great coffee. Quiet mood with moody strange music or old pop songs..folks sit and dream. I’ve had a chocolate muffin and an apple pie. Great whipped crème. Girls behind the counter are young mostly smiling and alittle..off beat. Some Unmatched tables and chairs and some velvet antiques. Nice display of pies and cakes.

Very cute cafe. Its the perfect place to meet with friends and catch up over a cup of coffee. On my last visit to this place it was packed as usual and it was nice to watch people play chess and listen in on conversations. Great location. I really enjoy the food here but I wish there was more attention at labeling what's in the food. My partner is vegetarian and was surprised to find meat on the mozzarella sandwich because it wasn't listed on the menu.

We've only been here for 3 days and this is our 3rd time in. We enjoy the espresso so much, we went ahead and got a stamp card, since we'll be here another week. The menu is small, the food is simple, and you can't go wrong. If you only stop in once, make sure you get pancakes! And if you're really hungry (or sharing) go for the infamous The Truck. A lovely little hole-in-the wall to fuel up in for a big day.

Good little breakfast spot Great hot chocolate. Fresh squeezed oj is a bit sour. Pancake flavor was not as good as I hoped and they are super thick and dense. Portions are huge so plan to share… fairly small and guessing maybe seating for 30 people ish. Was a line when they opened for us but only a few tables deep. Order at the counter after they admit you to choose a seat.

Celiacs beware! Other reviews say there are gluten free options, by this they mean you can modify the meal by removing any bread. However, there is not a substitute gluten free bread or pancake. So only come here if you simply want eggs and potatoes. I ordered a gluten free order of Eggs & Bacon. To make it gluten free they removed the toast and gave me an extra egg. Except- when the order came out there were huge pieces of bread on the plate touching every food item. It seems the cook is the one that brought it out and when I asked if it was gluten free she was confused and asked me if I had ordered gluten free to which I said yes. Then she took the plate in the back, a few minutes later- not nearly as long as it took for the food to come out the first time, she came back with a plate that looked exactly the same except the bread had been removed. The food was what you would expect. The eggs tasted like eggs. The potatoes had a nice crispy shell. And the bacon was very good but some may think it salty. The homemade hot sauce was good, not too spicy and slightly sweet- might not be to everyone’s taste. The service is fine, you have to go up to the counter to order and pay. Wait staff does not come to the table except to drop off food. That said I was very impressed by the staff, there was one person managing seating people, taking orders, processing payment, making beverages (barista), and all with a kindly manner. The space is VERY cozy, sort of an underground bookstore cafe with warm/dark mood lighting. Lots of red and mustard yellow aesthetic. Clientele was causal, familial, and mixed. Kitchen is Soy (Soya) free.

Stumbled into Joe & The Juice while exploring Reykjavik and it was such a good find. Trendy vibes, friendly staff, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. My husband went for the Go Away Doc juice—super zesty and fresh with a nice ginger kick—while I had the Sports Juice, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect post-walk boost. We shared a blueberry muffin (soft, not too sweet, totally satisfying) and a slice of banana bread that was moist and comforting—like homemade, but better. We liked the juices so much we went back the next day. Great spot for a casual hangout or a mid-day pick-me-up. Definitely recommend if you're in the city and craving something fresh and tasty!

A wonderful atmospheric coffee shop. There's plenty of space to sit. Decorated in a rather exotic but cute style. Very reasonable prices and amounts. Service is polite and very kind too.

Really good mocha. They top off with chocolate flakes, i find that a little touch that makes a mocha complete, and also is a rare thing for most coffee shops to do it imho.

Visited here after touring the museum. The cafe was comfortable, just by the gift shop and plenty of seating available the time we visited. Food wise, it was more average. Both dishes were tasty but very over priced. We expected this to be the case as its obviously a novelty cafe. That said the penis shaped waffles and penis themed drinks were good fun. Coffees again were average but they did have alternative dairy free milks which was great. I had an almond latte. Certainly worth visiting for the novelty aspect but only if your willing to pay the price. Jan 2025.

Two of us went. We each ordered waffles and a drink. Our total was nearly $85 USD. That seems incredibly absurd for breakfast. That said, the waffles were pretty good and the mixed drink was delicious. The hot chocolate was left unfinished, which says a lot for a $20 hot chocolate.

I lived for so long in Iceland but haven't visited this place. So, for the last day of my 2024, it was something new. Atmosphere was kinda nice and relaxing... nothing disturbing...exept I wanted more phallic fun ..but my coffee didn't have that ..ha ha ...But all good.

You must try the waffles! This adorable cafe is the entrance/exit to the phallological museum. You can get your souvenirs or even buy a beer or mixed drink to walk through the museum with.

This is a cafe as the part of the museum. As far as the prices go, we paid one cup of drink almost the same price as the entrance ticket to the museum. So, I would say there arr better and cheaper places around to grab a coffee or snack after museum. Coffee was nothing special. Staff was talking in between themselves more than they were foucused on preparing drinks.

A little bit pricey but very tasty waffles. They also sold ginger beer (first place that I found in 4 days). The pumpkin spice latte wasn't great though - tasted more like chai. Edit: Google keeps refusing to post this because "it's a fake review" so I've added a photo of me in the museum (just before the cafe) to prove it's real? Idk.

I busted a nut eating the waffles here. I yearn for the day I can return and consume them again.

Tasty ham and cheese ( tho a little spicy), and great American. Really good vibes for a coffee shop Inside a tourist attraction!

Kind, friendly staff. Food was good but SUPER expensive. A small cup of filter coffee was 700 isk which is about 5 usd. We spent 3.500 isk for a small ham and cheese croissant, a small cup of coffee, a small latte and a bottle of Vitamin Well.
