The best bakeries Reykjavik & Area

Sandholt Bakery is one of Iceland's most famous bakeries, and perhaps one of the few places where you'll literally have to queue to be served! On site, you can choose from a variety of breads, pastries and sandwiches prepared in-house. Although somewhat expensive, the sandwiches are delicious and made with a variety of ingredients: ricotta, grilled tomatoes, pine nuts, mushrooms, ham, cheese, salmon... If you want to eat there, it's best to book a table online.

If you're in the mood for exceptional cinnamon rolls or freshly baked bread prepared on site, head for the artisanal bakery Brauð&Co, open since 2016! Recognizable by its colorful and original frontage, this bakery stands out not only for the quality of its ingredients, but also for its buns and cinnamon rolls prepared on site AND vegan. Blueberry/sugar balm, caramel/muesli or vanilla: there's something for everyone in the shop window! Good to know: the flours used are organic, and the butter and salt are Icelandic.
