Hostel · Miðborg · 118 tips and reviews
Berat YARDIMCI: The best Hostel in the Reykjavik City. Very commodius, stylish, cozy and clean and the location is just by the Atlantic Ocean. Totally Toplofty!
Sara Soto: Best hostel. Ever. Young, hip & pretty much self-contained (bar, restaurant, hair salon, laundry are all inside), and overlooking the water!! I'll never stay anywhere else in this city.
Hördur Christian Svansson: Easily the coolest Hostel in Iceland, retro and hip design, nice and cute staff and laid back atmosphere.

sue q: Great meal. Fish was delicious. Trendy cozy restaurant. The best meal we had in Reykjavik. It is well hidden off the main strip we missed it twice walking by!
Pat: Trendy combination of Icelandic fare and staples
Gunnar Holmsteinn: Locally grown meat, straight from our farmers. The Icelandic Lamb is out of this world, you can taste the blueberries and arctic thyme that they eat during their outdoor life in the wilderness.
Alessio: Nice and hip place, everyone is smiling, but the service is abysmal...they forget orders, they ignore you for twenty mins then all of a sudden three waiters come in the space of few seconds...
Zona Pan: Hip cafe with great coffee and delicious pastries. I highly recommend having a taste of the sourdough bread. It's on the milder side of sour and out of this world.
Katherine Cheng: everything here is so well done. tip though: if you stay at sand hotel you get breakfast/brunch included and it includes baked goods from Sandholt!

Xavier Jurado: Trendy, free wifi, happy hour from 5 to 8 pm. A nice place to spend a rainy afternoon.
Jan T.: Very nice place, which could also be located in Södermalm/Stockholm, Prenzlberg/Berlin or Nørrebrœ/Copenhagen. Free wifi, Good Chai Latte, nice staff. Enjoy :)
Duke: Sushi and Sashimi in an extraordinary quality ! Very stylish restaurant and bar.
Saga Úlfarsdóttir: Try the Chili Passion cocktail! A refreshing combination of sour and sweet, with a hint of chili combining these two.
Gunnar Holmsteinn: The Fish Market has the mandatory Tasting Menu form Iceland's top chef Hrefna Sætran. Foreigners need to show a Proof-of-Purchase to be able to leave the country.

Coffee Shop · Miðbær · 220 tips and reviews
Mu-An 🍄🟫: Um, unpopular opinion: I've had better coffee. And the service was really quite slow for a flat white to-go with not many people in store. Totally hip vibe and seemed cozy though!
Oli Olafsson: Really superb coffee. Better than anything I've had in NYC or Europe. Not to be missed!
Bárður Örn Gunnarsson: By far the best coffee in town, really personal, and the baristas love to talk about coffee.

Bakery · Miðborg · 107 tips and reviews
Jökull Sólberg Auðunsson: A pretty thin crust as far as Reykjavík sourdoughs go. Delicious and light. Not sure if 80% of staff had mustache because of prostate cancer support month or just trendy. No seating, just bakery.
Nicholas M.: Croissant has delicious tangy butter flavor. Cinnamon bun v good. Ask if they have a hot one.
PeiWen Seow: Cinnamon roll is the best! They have 3 variants-cinnamon,vanilla&blueberry licorice.This place is just a stone's throw away from the church,in a colorful building.The scent will lure you into the shop

Karen Dolva: The Avokado salad came with an amazing dressing and berries!! Loved it
Gisli Marteinn Baldursson: The first great neighborhood Café outside the city center in Reykjavík.
Ksenia Verle: It's absolutely amazing here. Worth visiting when you are around, for a morning coffee (soo good.) or fantastic dinner by candle light. It's warm and cozy, and the ambience is great.
Michelle Warren: Cute little place. Carrot cake is FANTASTIC - try the rice & almond milk with your coffee ☕️
Annemarie Tiemes: Fantastic coffee and an lovely owner, who knows what he likes and knows a lot about coffee.
Árni Daníelsson: A double espresso in a large cup, i.e. a teacup, is a trip of the senses. Ask Pálmar to make you one if you're up for it.
