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.

Great coffee shop with reasonable prices in downtown Reykjavik. It can get a little busy with the hotel right next door, but we were able to grab a couple of chairs and enjoy our coffee and tea.

Great cozy coffee shop with great coffee and other sweet options. Hot chocolate was also delicious. Not giving them 5 stars because they don’t offer decaf coffee for those with caffeine intolerance.

Been in Iceland a while; I make 2-3 espressos a day at home for over a decade. Most of my trip has been filled with waste of $ and waste of calorie mocha’s. However this place was the first coffee shop I finally took a sip and was pleasantly surprised as my body relaxed as I was processing the delicious flavors of this properly made mocha latte. If you love coffee as much as I do, you won’t be disappointed coming here at it was 100% worth the $ also the ambience was light hearted and relaxing. If I lived here this would be my spot.

An unmissable place for coffee! The baristas are really friendly and really know their coffee. I would also recommend the Matcha!

This is a nice coffee spot within walking distance of Lake Tjourn, located inside the Radisson hotel building. The barista is friendly and offered us a batch brew to try when we couldn’t decide on the menu. The coffee is good, and the atmosphere is relaxing. :)
