Service was quick and cafe attendants were friendly despite the busy crowd. This cafe is definitely worth visiting ??
The food, homemade Icelandic ware, is delicious and affordable compared to a large majority of places in Iceland.
I recommend trying the Rye Bread Ice-cream.
The place was nice and warm and the ambiance was very pleasant. We ordered the cheese pizza and it was very good. At only stayed for a quick pizza but it would've been nice to go there for dinner.
Good place of you're looking for something familiar.
