Robert Storm: A must visit. This little cafe is friendly, relaxed and looks like a living room. Pop in for a coffee or a hot chocolate.
Meghal Patel: Hot chocolate and swiss mocha is really good. Banana bread not so much. Pretty cool place to hangout and people watch.
Sofi Hersher: Hot chocolate is amazing. The entire place smells like the inside of a carrot cake. Must stop in while in Reykjavik.

Stephane Rosa: Lovely place, great music. Try the Hot Chocolate or even better, the Swiss Mocha. Relax and spend a few hours. Go downstairs, it's more quiet!
Céline Royakkers: Hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream!
Matthew Riley MacPherson: One of the best cafes in Reykjavik with a cool vibe in the evening (it changes to a happening bar) and great food. Wifi here is AWESOME and there are power points, so good place to work from too.

Alvaro Rodriguez: Great breakfast in Reykjavik. The place is very unique, quiet and welcoming service. Try the american pancakes or "the truck" with hot chocolate.
Tomáš Mládek: The place itself is nice and cozy with lots of books; breakfast goes for around 2500 ISK and you get a damn hearty portion of delicious food, can only recommend their Croque Madame and pancakes!
Sami S: Opens really early (7am). Coffee was great and the breakfasts were basic but very well made. Come here if you land early in the morning for a great first impression of Iceland.

Яна Ю: Good coffee and hot chocolate, delicious choco cake and garlic pizza and fine onion soup with cheese bread
Ronni Tino: First Italian restaurant in Iceland (since 1979) and amongst the oldest restaurants in Reykjavik.
Magnús Þorlákur Lúðvíksson: Eyfi's Special is highly recommended. It's not on the menu but it was specifically created for one of Iceland's most beloved musicians and is available on request.
