Coffee, pastries, and comfy couches abound in this little capital. On one corner a bakery adorned in colourful murals prompts queues outside its doors, while, on another, a vintage-inspired, record-playing vegan cafe serves up plant-based plates. Closer to the coastline, a library-cum-cafe draws in a regular crowd, and specialty coffee shops fuel tourists and locals alike. Of an evening, a Big Lebowski-themed bar serves burgers and White Russians, Spanish tapas with an Icelandic twist are served just around the corner, and a thriving nightlife comes alive. Mikkellar and Friends is a go-to for craft beer lovers, who are bound to sample the slices at That Pizza downstairs. The most popular site? A hot dog stand named Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is never short of an eager crowd.
