We had breakfast here twice while in Reykjavik. The first visit, the waitress was not so friendly with us-- also, she told me to get up to get my own water at the bar. The second visit, a younger waitress was very friendly. The owner was gracious and helpful, but softly complained to me that I asked him for our check, saying that he wrote it in big letters on the menu to pay at the bar. This is an example of not understanding menu science, as customers eating breakfast won't look at the right side of the menu (lunch side), which is where he wrote to pay at the bar. Anyway. The food was very tasty, although the breakfast selections are egg-heavy... I don't eat eggs, so I felt limited in choices. The decor is very nice, photo-worthy. The bathroom sink outside the one stall has no paper towels, forcing you to touch bathroom surfaces with hands that you want to eat with. There are paper towels in the one bathroom stall, but if you exit the stall and someone else jumps in then you have no paper towels. There are people actually doing laundry in the basement, you can sometimes see them carrying in trash bags full of clothes to wash... neat. All-in-all, a good place to get a bite to eat. My girlfriend commented some days later that she really liked this place.

Must read information: Let me start off its quite awkward walking into a cafe with your landery for the first time not knowing if its a themed cafe or a real laundromat? "It is Both so don't worry!" Its a European style service as in do it your self (if you are used to USA service its not, you are left alone to your own devices, we European like it that way) As for the prices: LOW to NORMAL pricing for a restaurant in iceland, and cheap for Reykjavik. I have included the menu from today 13/09/2021 with prices included. (Expect to pay 2600~3100ISK per meal at most restaurants in iceland "gas station N1: burger and fries 2400ISK) Viking Beer is about 1200ISK. We ordered the Super Nacho, and Super Nachos with chicken "see added img" The food was Great and plenty of it. price: 2199ISK and 2699ISK prospectively. Landery costs 1299ISK per token One token gets you: 1 wash load or 1 dry load (Do not dump more wash in the dryer than can fit in the washing mashine one is smaller than the other by purpose, "got the feeling the bad reviews did not understand this") As for pricing its the same i pay in nederlands, washing at home I play 4~8 Euro per wash, same for the food... If this was helpful please rate the review trying to rank up ;D

We stopped here for a quick hot drink and snack. I ordered a croissant and a chai tea latte. The Chai Tea was absolutely exceptional, it stayed at a good temperature, and although it was a little sweet, it had a great combination of sweet, and spice. The foam was topped with cinnamon and it was a nice touch. On the other hand I would say the the croissant was average. I will say that we are not locals and we did have an issue with the self service pay feature. This cafe has the cool option to scan a qr code, view a menu and make your order. But our card was not being accepted until we went up and paid at the register out front. The staff was super helpful, for as soon as they saw that we were having issues with the self pay, they directed us to the front to try to pay. And our order was brought to us pretty fast. The overall ambiance was pretty quiet. The walls had pictures and maps of different places in the world. The section that was behind us had like pictures of NYC taxis, Manhattan pizza shops, stuff like that, along with a map of France was on the wall, like wallpaper. I would definitely go back for the chai and try their other drinks.

We came out of our way by uber to come eat here as someone had left a review that the gluten free options was good. But even though the menu says if you have allergens pls speak to the waiter. The waiter was not interested in helping me. I have quite a few intolerances and he didn't even let me have a proper conversation with me. He just said there is a few options and go to the bar to order. I was feeling really unwell as I suffer with chronic nerve pain so I could not walk well. My poor husband went back and forth to the bar to ask if I could eat this food or that. In the end I just gave up and decided to have plain chips. The only decent thing I can say I had was the hot chocolate which was vegan so that was great. Very disappointed with the customer service. Worse thing is that they weren't even busy, so the waiter could have taken the time to help me. There's just no excuse for this kind of service in 2024. I love the theme of the place and it has a great vibe but due to the lack of good customer service and a decent meal it just ruins your whole experience. I would not recommend if you have allergies or intolerances.

This café is truly one-of-a-kind and brilliantly conceived. The fusion of a laundromat with a dining area, allowing patrons to multitask between doing laundry and savoring a meal, is ingenious. The addition of an extensive bookshelf for reading adds to its charm, creating a cozy, multifaceted environment. Its affordability, family-friendly atmosphere, and inventive décor enhance the overall experience. The use of technology for online menu browsing, ordering, and payment is efficient and modern. The food met our high expectations for such a well-regarded place. Particular noteworthy is the Vegan brunch with it's innovative vegan curry egg. Also the Acai bowl was both tasty and satisfying. This place combines a fantastic concept with excellent food, creating a truly memorable visit.

Great cheese burger while I did laundry. At the bar, pay for soap plus the number of wash and dry loads you anticipate needing. You will get some tokens to insert in the black box on the wall downstairs in the laundry room. Washer took roughly 43 minutes. Dryer goes by dryness percentage. Doesn't dry that great so you'll have to keep an eye on it. Another customer told me that when it gets to roughly 15% - 10% on the screen, open the door to pause the machine and close the door again. Resets the dryness reading to 50% and continues drying longer. Missed the second time it hit that number and now I have a couple of cotton tshirts and a pair of denim pants that have to finish drying in the hotel room. Good luck
