Food Scene
Our favourite bakery. It's amazing and a must every morning. ;) They have amazing sourdough bread and Scandinavian style cinnamon buns. There is one right near our place, only a 9 min walk away. There are also two located in down town Reykjavik. One on Frakkarstigur 16 and the other at Hlemmur Matholl (Laugavegi 107). They open up early and close later than other bakeries.

A cute and cozy family owned restaurant offering lunch, dinner, happy hour and brunch on the weekends. It’s one of our favorite places to go in the neighbourhood. It's located in a really cool area by the old harbour.

This small, cozy, music free cafe has been open since 1958. It is one of Reykjavik's oldest cafés and the first to install an espresso machine and serve espresso, cappuccino, and café latte in Iceland. Try their famous waffles, served with cream and jam or their hot chocolate. Its delicious and an Icelandic tradition. The café has also doubled as an Art gallery with new art for sale, every 4-6 weeks, since opening.

Entertainment & Activities
Our favorite yoga studio is called Solir. It's located at Grandi. It's a great way to start your morning before heading to the bakery for breakfast. :) A single class is $30 but if you plan on going more than once I suggest buying a week pass, it's cheaper than buying two single sessions. The week pass is unlimited for $50. They also sell the first and only Icelandic kombucha.
