Tucked right into Reykjavik’s Old Harbor at Geirsgata 5, this coffee shop has earned a solid 4.6 rating from over 1,200 reviews, and that’s not an easy score for a spot this size.
The hot chocolate is the real star here. Several reviewers have called it the best hot chocolate in Reykjavik, made with real chocolate and a dusting of cinnamon on top. If you’re into something more unusual, Magic Mushroom Coffee and Cortado are among the menu’s most popular picks, making this one of the best coffee spots in Reykjavik for adventurous drinkers.
For food, the open-faced sandwiches are a favorite, though one reviewer noted they lean a bit salty while still being genuinely good. The carrot cake also gets singled out for praise from visitors.
