Iceland's Most Scenic Cafés
☕️ Geirabakarí Kaffihús 📍 Filming location for "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Though disguised as a pizza shop in the movie, its floor-to-ceiling windows frame snow-capped mountains and tranquil seas. Winter ritual: A steaming mushroom soup + coffee, watching the fog rise over the fjords. 🚌 RJÚK ANDI 📍 Snæfellsnes Peninsula (one of few dining spots!) More roadside pit-stop than café, but their iced latte fuels drives along the coast. Bonus: Sit outside with cheesecake and stare at the glaciers—meditation, Icelandic-style. 🏠 Reykjavik Roasters (101 Location) 📍 The coziest of their three downtown branches Where locals weekend: Mismatched armchairs, newspaper rustling, and nutty espresso aromas. Order: The seasonal single-origin—it tastes like Reykjavík’s heartbeat. ⛰️ Reykjadalur Café 📍 Hidden trailhead café Stumbled-upon magic: A quiet study spot with valley views that make you forget deadlines. Summer dream: Hike the geothermal hot springs after your cup—coffee + adventure fuel. 🌿 LYST 📍 Inside Akureyri Botanical Garden Genius setting: Sip light-roast (fruity/tangy) coffee surrounded by Arctic flowers. Vibe > beans: Come for the glasshouse tranquility, stay for the elf folklore books. #Reykjadalur Café#Geirabakarí Kaffihús#LYST#Reykjavik Roasters#Reykjavik#travel guide#coffee
