MarieJune 21, 2018Came here as many times as possible during our weeklong stay in Iceland. Delicious and great quality iced lattes and cold brew. Cozy and warm atmosphere; like hanging out in a friend’s living room.

Barbora ŠilhánováSeptember 7, 2017Very cozy place, friendly staff, good cappuccinos. There are always many people. If you'll be lucky and weather is nice, you can sit outside - the best relax in Reykjavik.
Al WyattJuly 12, 2014If you like you're coffee or you're Australian, this is the place to go in Reykjavik! The cups are the right size and it just feels like being in a Surry Hills cafe with the rest of the hipsters.- Dimitar SmilyanovApril 4, 2018Really good coffees. Ask the barista about the coffee source. The place is very cozy and a great spot for working or chilling out. The record player with an assortment of music is a great touch.
Marissa RyanFebruary 24, 2019Excellent coffee, right in the center of town. Don’t bring your cinnamon rolls from bradt & co; they won’t let you eat it in the cafe. Other than that though, everything is adorable.
Rachel KokJune 4, 2018The house made soy chai latte was perfect for the chilly weather. The music was great, proper chill vibes, a great hangout spot after a long day of outdoor adventures.
Stefan KlinkhammerSeptember 25, 2016Had the espresso and cappuccino mix for 700isk, really good. It is however most of the time rather crowded and it may be hard to get a place to sit. But they also offer coffee to go!
Ze | زيادMay 7, 2022The best Espresso coffee I've ever tasted in my life 👌🏻. In addition, u have to try EITT SETT (Cup of espresso +Cup of Cappuccino)👌🏻
Rob RayOctober 22, 2016Wow. Amazing flavor in their roasts. Get an espresso to taste their full flavor (so fruity!) Also, make sure to turn on the record player if it's idle. Most of their vinyls are good background music.
marge rJuly 27, 2018excellent service, great ambience, great coffee. not much else you can want from a coffee shop! one of the top in the city for sure.
Kazem EdmondDecember 3, 2015Great coffee, nice location, good service, and delicious croissants. Definitely worth visiting. Good music from their vinyl records too!
AdleyJuly 9, 2016Nice small coffee spot close to the Hallgrimur church. Great coffee and yummy chocolate.
AmateurConciergeJune 17, 2015A quaint little coffee spot that takes their artisanal brews quite seriously. Come have an early cup and try their preserves on anything
Lindsey ChunMay 1, 2017Good coffee in a small shop. Only a few places to sit. Love the eitt sett (cappuccino and espresso), wish they had that in the states.
Lani AikoMarch 5, 2016Obligatory stop for any coffee lover traveling staying in Reykjavik. Great coffee and ambience. They sell a local brand of chocolate though which I found to be overpriced and not that great.
Edward LandtmanSeptember 3, 2017The atmosphere and the flavors were spot on. Unfortunately the barista could not seem to care less about preparing the coffee. Pls work on it and this will be one of the best coffee shops anywhere!
Best coffee in town. Relaxed place that offers great brewed coffee (Batch brew, Kalita and Aeropress), and even better, they roast their own coffee (as the name suggests).
NoridaSeptember 8, 2014Love the smell and the atmosphere. Perfect to linger in on a rainy day. Free wifi. Amazing coffee. Great cinnamon scone.
Tim FDecember 21, 2017Great place... Good central location in Reykjavik, good basic breakfast menu, good coffee. Interior is small and often crowded.
Lef GermenlisNovember 3, 2017Excellent coffee, they brew it on site which is unique and also let you choose the music on the vinyl player. Awesome place
Beau LebensFebruary 23, 2019All of the espressos are really well made. They'll do a great flat white as well!
eifehOctober 26, 2016Nice, cozy coffee shop near Hallgrímskirkja. Good, solid coffee. They charge for to-go cups, so bring in a thermos if you can. Interior is very homey, but seating is a little limited. Nice baristas.
FrançoisApril 20, 2015Very cosy place and great coffee. If you're in Reykjavik, you must have a breakfast here, it's really worth it ☕️
Marc MayerJune 21, 2015Real tasty coffee with a lot of care and consideration in every cup. A record player with some classic albums. It's a great way to start your day.
Jess WilliamsAugust 22, 2014A nice spot to enjoy being surrounded by locals and start your exploring as a tourist. Also, delicious croissants and cappuccinos.
Try the Tvíhleypa. A single cappuccino and a single espresso on the side. You get to experience the coffee as nature intended it and savor the cappuccino a little while longer. Ommnomm.
Kevin BeachAugust 12, 2015Best coffee shop in Iceland. Great attention to detail and fresh coffee. A must stop in Reykjavik!
Jennifer KrinkeDecember 20, 2016Great coffee and fresh scones. Love that there is a record player! Must try for a warm up
Mikael OhlsonDecember 8, 2014The best coffee in Reykjavík, and helpful baristas. They even have da Matteo coffee.
Nicholas LativyMay 27, 2014Nice little cafe with beans roasted on site. Get the cappuccino & espresso set. Coffee is a bit inconsistent however with some baristas producing much better cups than others.
Deb FMarch 1, 2019The coffee here is 🥰, cannot more highly recommend. We had the DIY and cold brew, both equally good.
Ankur BanerjeeApril 30, 2017In general for most coffees you only get a selected roast, but you can change that by buying a jug-full of coffee roasts of different varieties.
Martin TorresJanuary 9This place has the best coffee in the area. Perfectly chill vibe. Perfect combo of locals and in-the-know tourists.
Daniel PlemmonsApril 28, 2015A really good cup of pour over and a super friendly staff. Gives Blue Bottle in SF a definite run for it's money.
Glory KadiganNovember 8, 2014Great service. Excellent espresso. Not much seating and very popular but the espresso is the best!
Travis KingNovember 25, 2016They had a vegan peanut butter/chocolate bar and hands-down the best soy latte I've had anywhere. 👍
S PSeptember 20, 2016Great place to take a break and have a good coffee, warm and friendly. Great pastries next door.
Jeff SampleJanuary 4, 2019Fantastic place in Reykjavik. If you’re a blueberry muffin fan, get one here!
Matthew KeyOctober 23, 2019Amazing coffee, really friendly staff and you can play your own records (not that you'd want to ruin the brilliantly curated soundtrack).
SumedhaJuly 21, 2019Cute corner shop with great coffee. Alternative milk options include oat and soy.
- M WNovember 17, 2014Fantastic, cosy coffee shop just off the main street. The cinnamon scones are great, and served with jam and cheese!
Ben MackeyOctober 18, 2014Probably the best coffee in Reykjavik. Next time I'll get the cappuccino + espresso.
Andrew SAugust 15, 2015Best coffee shop in town. One of the few that has pour over coffee. The baked goods are excellent as well.
faidroniOctober 6, 2018Very nice interior, friendly staff and good coffee. Plus, the cutest paper cups
David HoltzSeptember 6, 2016One of the coolest coffee shops of all time. Great ambiance and a nice outdoor sitting area.
