We accidentally found the Kaffitar during our early morning walk through the centre of Reykjavik and we got a very good cappuccino double shot, which was just a bit more expensive than single shot. We also tried their cinnamon rolls, which were delicious! If sunny, one can sit outside and feel the city. We were lucky, we had sun and empty streets - even the COVID pandemic has some bright sides ;-)

We came in once and ended going back two more times. Great coffee shop with a good assortment of coffee drinks and pastries. My wife was happy because shoe could get her decaf coffee here and I really enjoyed their Tumerikte (hot turmeric with fresh ginger and lemon). But our favorite was definitely their chocolate croissant!!

I went to Kaffirár many times in the 2 months I spent in Reykjavík. It is a nice simple place were to have a great coffee, and there is a good selection of sweets or small snacks, with a few vegan options as well. It opens early too. Staff could be a bit more focused as it happened a couple times that I had to go back to ask for a coffee that never arrived, bit they were always friendly so that’s the most important.

Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful people! They accidentally forgot my toast this morning (no big deal) and as soon as I mentioned it, they got it to me right away. They even gave me a free coffee next time I came. Great service and such kind workers!

The smell from outside of Coffee enticed us inside! We enjoyed a leisurely stop off here for a Latte and Lactose free hot chocolate. Both were delicious. If you would like a good quality coffee and a warm place to rest, here it is.

I have been going to this place for coffee for at least 2 years. Always perfect good coffee and staff. Last months its been going down and down till the point i think its the worst coffee in Reykjavik. They have change continuosly the staff and they are not being trained i think because its horrible. The coffee the teas everything. Im so sorry for that place and i think it will close soon due to the lack of compromise.

So heres the thing, food and drinks were good…when they eventually came. Had to wait a while as some orders got mixed up and were handed to the wrong people. Overall slow, especially on drinks. Not necessarily the ladies fault but did have to go up and remind them about it. Chill atmosphere though I guess. Think they should invest in a number system or take peoples names with the orders to prevent this in the future.

Good coffee and croissants (deliciouuus!). The staff is always nice, even if it is early morning. They are always smiling, especially one girl that's at the store downtown. Cozy place to sit or to have take away!

Visited in Feb 2020 and we were desperate for an 'aussie style' flat white rather than a large, weak milky brew offered by the chains. Kaffitar did not dissapoint. Only comment was the coffees were consistently luke warm. espresso based coffees cannot be 'extra hot' but they should be warm/hot - particularly in such a cold climate.

Got one normal coffe/americano. Unfortunately it tasted literally like drinking hot water, if I did not know any better and Im a huge coffe fan. The staff was OK though.

Really lovely lunch and vegan lemon cake, at Kaffitar at Burgartun 12 Reykjavik. More than that, I left my prescription sunglasses there and didn't realise this until the evening, the night before flying back to the UK!! Our flight was early before the cafe opening time. I felt so annoyed with myself as they were new glasses light reactive too. Well I emailed Kaffitar with the situation not sure if I'd get a reply. They have been wonderful and kind, emailing back getting the details etc. They found the glasses and posted them back to me without even accepting any payment fir the cost and time. I recieved them today and I can't thank Kristin and his team enough for this lovely kindness. We loved our trip to Iceland and will definitely be eating and drinking at the Kaffitar cafe when we return.

Pros of this place: free coffee refills, accessible location Cons: grumpy staff (or maybe this woman was just mad to be awake so early? We went right when they opeend), no spoons to eat yogurt with, stiff seating Things I wish I'd known: even though the menus switch between Icelandic and English, they have menus at the counter, so you can just pick one up and you don't have wait for the menu to change back
