christina ernstAugust 9, 2013Fantastic place! Food was excellent - enjoyed the shrimp crepes & Icelandic pancakes dessert! Staff is the friendliest here and it has a cool vibe to it! Sit outside under heat lamp to people watchUpvote3Downvote
Sigrún Syssa EinarsdóttirDecember 4, 2013This has been my favorite café in Reykjavík for at least two decades. I love many others but none can replace my beloved. Classy and elegant without losing the homey feel to it.Upvote1Downvote
Cate HustonNovember 16, 2013Delicious food, the lamb and the chocolate cream cake are as delicious as other commenters say. One of our dishes did come out cold, but we sent it back and they did a new one. Worth a visit!UpvoteDownvote- Viktor Mar BonillaJune 28, 2015Was my favorite cafe before they expanded. The service is good, prices about the same as everywhere else. Portions may be huge depending on what you buy. Popular place and tends to be crowded.

Finn BOctober 19, 2013We were heading for another restaurant for dinner, but ended up here instead and was surprised how good this place was. We had whale and salmon and both tasted fantastic.UpvoteDownvote
Taco van der ValkJuly 31, 2019Good coffee, but staff mostly looking at their shoes instead of customers expecting some service. Nice spot. One of the few places with a comfortable outside terrace.UpvoteDownvote

Steve RhodesJune 9, 2019Not exactly the fastest service. Waited an age just for a couple of hot chocolates and an orange juice. Concept of ‘hot’ seemed to fail them too.
