"Head back towards the same building as the Jungle Cocktail Bar to enjoy a leisurely brunch. A quirky local icon, The Laundromat Café serves a concise, unfussy brunch menu, which you can enjoy while catching up on some holiday washing! Just south of The Laundromat, take a walk around quiet, leafy Austurvollor Park, flanked on its southern edge by the Icelandic Parliament Building, Alpingishusio, an unsuspecting 19th-century brick property which looks more like a grand house than a seat of government." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
"The Laundromat Café Reykjavík’s Laundromat Café is one of the city’s most casual and upbeat places to hang out, whether you want to drink a fine craft beer, enjoy brunch, or—yes—do your laundry. The sister enterprise of the original establishment in Copenhagen , it’s kitted out in a classic American-diner style, with leather stools around a central bar and a smattering of perpetually full tables and booths. The menu spans healthy brunches, Sunday roasts, soups, sandwiches, and burgers, and there’s also a decent list of wines and beers (including local craft beers). Plus there arehundreds of books you can borrow, trade, or buy, board games to play (Yahtzee, backgammon, chess, or cards), and newspapers and magazines to read. Laundry machines can be found in the basement, and there’s a playroom for kids plus a children’s brunch option."

A beautiful place that has quickly become our new favorite spot for breakfast and brunch. ❤️🔥🥯The avo toast could have been seasoned a bit better, but everything else was excellent. We had a really great meal. The place is clean and has an interesting atmosphere, and the coffee especially with Baileys 😛 was absolutely delicious.
it’s also a nice spot for kids 👧🏼

After a long morning or exploring Reykjavik, the Laundromat was a chill spot to sit, rest, and enjoy a beer and some great food.
We stumbled past the storefront while walking on a food tour or Reykjavik (something you MUST try), and the exterior was so inviting that we made a note that we needed to return.
The inside is fun and vibrant. The ROYGBIV bookshelf bar counter is pleasing to the eyes, and the jet red chairs and chairs and lamp shades give a vibe of a cozy yet trendy coffee shop.
The food was incredible and was affordable. You should definitely try one of the local beers. I'm not lying when I say, Iceland Beer is some of the best beer I have ever had, and I'm bummed you can't find it in the states. Viking beer was my absolute favorite.
This location was very welcoming and the staff extremely hospitable. It's also located in the heart of Reykjavik. It's a must try place if you find yourself in the land of Fire & Ice!
Cheers!!

Seems like a popular place for Sat breakfast. Interesting vibrant eclectic decor. Self order via QR code at table. Nice venue & location. Not very good croissants/ham/cheese, ok pancakes, decent coffee but cup handle too small. They pre-poured too much syrup on pancake.

Cute place with warm and inviting decor. We came for an early supper the day we arrived. It must have been the end of their day as service was inattentive. You order online at your table (which I dislike anyway). All the waiter does is bring you the food. We ordered a ham and cheese sandwich (ho hum) and fish and chips with coleslaw (which was awful) and chips. The fish was soft not crispy and greasy. A big disappointment since I thought it would be fabulous given the locale. The chips were great—the best thing they served. Very average meal especially for the price. We should have come for brunch as the pastries looked fresh and brunch menu more enticing. They also have a coffee machine offering espresso drinks.

What you can see at the moment you enter this place is interesting interior design. Really unique place.
We couldn't decide on the beer so we were recommended by the staff the craft one. It was really good and we were happy with the choice. Ended up ordering second round.
They offer children meals as well as snacks with the beer.
Really nice place with great staff and I do recommend to stop by.

While exploring the city center, we stumbled upon the Laundromat Cafe, whose distinctive decor and laid-back ambiance immediately caught our attention. The friendly service and enticing menu encouraged us to linger. Although we had recently eaten lunch, we couldn't resist ordering a chai latte at the bar, which turned out to be one of the creamiest we've ever had. The cafe also features a functional laundromat on the lower level, as well as a play area for children. We're already looking forward to returning for brunch. 🤩

Gluten Free bread available by request! Great decor, fast service (September visit), hearty portions of delicious fresh food. There is even a little laundromat in the basement. We would definitively dine here again.

Food was mediocre, you order from a qr code and everything came at once. The had to put our dinner under the heat lamp while we finished our app on the tiny table. Cute atmosphere though!
