Brauð & Co

honestly the best pastry I’ve had in a long time! I tried the caramel & müsti - absolutely incredible! A bit pricey, but totally worth it. There are only two seats by the window (otherwise it’s mostly to-go), and we were lucky enough to grab one - super cozy spot and 100% recommend! 🥐☕

It’s a cute little spot that serves a variety of pastries. We tried the famous Icelandic cinnamon roll and a square shaped pastry (not sure about the name, hahaaa) both were very cinnamon-y and quite sweet. It’s a great place to sample local sweets, though the only downside is that there’s no seating area, so everything is to-go. Other than that, it’s a perfect little nook! :)

The first place we visited after arriving in Iceland on October 11 was this bakery, and we absolutely loved it. The staff were as friendly as before, and one of the male staff members was especially kind to us. We were in a hurry to catch a whale watching tour, but his warm attitude really brightened our day. Thank you for your kindness and for making our visit so pleasant! The bread here is amazing, and your friendliness made it even more memorable. 💛

More than hype. Legit good. I wondered if I would like this place, as from photos it’s hard to tell if their famous cinnamon buns are moist or dry. I can attest they are very moist, especially when warm still fresh from the oven, full of butter, perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar including a bit of crispness in the outer rings from outer sugar crystallizing during the bake. Other pastries were also great. This place is legit good!

The bakery is small and busy, so I felt rushed and didn’t have much time to consider all the options. I decided on the first thing that appealed to me, which was the pretzel croissant. Not a bad choice. It’s got the flaky texture of a croissant with the distinctive pretzel taste of lye. Quite unique and I recommend trying it. We also got some cinnamon and pecan pastries. I can’t personally sing their praises because I’m not a fan of those flavours, but the people who ate them enjoyed them. It would be nice to have a. dining area, but there is a small playground near the bakery where you can sit and eat.

The pastry was so good I had to come back every day for breakfast. A friend recommended the cinnamon roll before I went, and now I’m writing this review to pass the word on as you definitely don’t want to miss out on them, especially when they’re warm!

Snowy and windy day but I got one extra on the house from the beautiful lady here. The cinnamon roll is just so delicious. My first visit in Iceland is just so heart warming!

Simply amazing. I love a proper bakery and these guys are legit. So much to choose from. I grabbed a couple of traditional Icelandic treats and both were very good. One was a chilli cheese twist bread and the other a flaky vanilla and cinnamon pastry. So so good.
