Te & Kaffi Laugavegi — Restaurant in Reykjavik

Seriously, there are better places to get your overpriced coffee. 1) several tables were dirty and the coffee shop wasn’t full to justify not cleaning them. 2) staff was rude. Didn’t get her name bc no name tags but I did approach the cashier all bubbly in my demeanor only to get a super snarky response from her.

There were ~6 people in front of me and when he decided to go make a sandwich, there was just me and another lady behind me in the line. He didn’t even make eye contact with me. My party came to check on me since it had been a while, I said "they aren't taking my order." Finally, the other lady from the espresso section came to take my order. Worst service I ever...

I stopped by this Icelandic coffee chain to grab a Flat White to go with a pastry that I picked up from a nearby bakery. It was robust, bold, smooth and comforting to sip on while walking back to our hotel.

This shop initially looks small with just a couple seats up front near the counter, however, the space opens up into a comfortable dining area with several tables in the back. In addition to coffee and sweet baked goods, their menu also featured Croque Monsieur, bagels and toast options.

All I needed was a coffee to go, but if I had more time that morning, this would be a nice cozy spot for a...
