Kaffibrennslan has a lovely atmosphere and makes excellent coffee, smooth, rich, and beautifully presented. The carrot cake was delicious and generous in portion. The chocolate croissant, however, was a bit dry, which was a small letdown. Still, it’s a great spot to relax in downtown Reykjavík, with friendly service and a cozy vibe. Would definitely go back for the coffee and cake!

The morning of our arrival from USA we had a wonderful breakfast of toast and cheese and yogurt with granola and raspberries along with tea. Tonight we had a club sandwich, a BLT sandwich, and a ham and cheese sandwich along with wine and the a slice of carrot cake to go. Very friendly staff and a quiet environment.
