Sandholt

This is the most delicious pastry I've ever eaten! This bread is divine! Amazing breakfast! The lamb and cheese sandwich is amazing! Excellent service! There are a lot of people, so we had to wait a little in line. My favorites are a croissant with almonds, a lemon slice with poppy seeds, a sandwich with cheese and mutton! Dessert with nuts

One of the few places that opens early for breakfast. It was about 20–30 minutes wait when we arrived around 9.00am. It was packed and busy. We had to shared a table with other guest which we don’t mind. Food was good however I find the portion of the waffle to be a tad smaller than what I expected. Price was reasonable.

Very nice local bread / dessert store. The queue is long even in the morning. We didn’t have to wait long when we came early in the morning. The breakfast menu selection was plenty, so as the bread and pastry in the display. The food was delicious! The portion was great for one. We also ordered some pastries and they were also excellent. The rum hot chocolate is a must. It wasn’t sweet, and the flavor was very strong. Love it.

Beautiful bakery pastries and breakfast sandwiches and delicious coffee, although all coffee here is sold in about a quarter of the amount I need in the morning. Love that this cafe is open a little earlier as midst coffee shops don't open until late morning. Looks friendly to people using their laptops when it was early and not busy. Avoid breakfast sandwiches with tomatoes. Even in summer these are not local. But the breads are so good.

If you only have time to visit one café in Reykjavík, head straight to Sandholt. Located in the city center, it offers both dine-in and takeaway options. The staff are efficient and welcoming, and the food quality is excellent. For Iceland, the prices are quite reasonable. We visited twice, for lunch and breakfast, and enjoyed both the food and pastries. My only critique would be that the banana cake was a bit too dense and dry, lacking the usual moisture. Otherwise, everything about this café was delightful. A reminder for those who want to dine in, you need to queue on your right side on entry to the cafe.

Small but fast paced restaurant. Well organized whether it’s takeout or dine in. You can see the kitchen in action. The grilled cheese sandwich is a must try as well as the fresh bakery goodies coming from The kitchen

Amazing bakery. High-quality fresh food! Really good coffee and great tea selection! If you are around, grabbing some bread here is a must!!😊

30 minutes of waiting when we arrived just 20 minutes after opening sounds insane, but it’s totally worth it. The place looks so cozy and nice, the service is great and the food… THE FOOD. All the baking goods are just incredible, even the sourdough bread they serve with the dishes, pain au chocolat 10/10, cinnamon roll 10/10, shakshuka eggs 8/10 (maybe cuz I was too hyped after the breads)
