Great place ! Lovely food :-) We had bubble waffles , ice cream rolls ( lots and lots of varieties available ) made to order and spicy hot chocolate.
Bubble waffles are fresh and served hot . The toppings we had were peanut butter , Nutella and a pistachio spread :p
The swing chairs are so comfy too ( there are 2 ) luckily they were available on our breakfast visit .
Don’t go for unlimited as they are very filling ! Lovely member of staff . Friendly and great service. Recommend:-)

Very unique to say the least. The decor, dishes and food were all unlike anything I’m accustomed to seeing. The owner was very friendly and service was great. The waffles were light, fluffy and delicious and you could add your own toppings. The lattes were excellent.

Saeta Husid is Iceland's only Thai ice cream shop, which I have never had before. You pick 2 flavors of ice cream, which they mix and mash down into thin layer. It's then sliced, rolled up, and served in a bowl with your choice of toppings. I had coffee and nutella ice creams with whipped cream & chocolate sauce. Was very good. The whole process is labor intensive and takes time, so be patient especially if there's a line.

We chose to eat here as it presented itself as a top waffle/ice cream and coffee establishment. However, much to our surprise and disappointment, our waffles were the smallest, expensive and most dry we had had been served while in Iceland (waffle connoisseurs). It is also up to you to apply your own toppings at a table with 4 bowls of sauces on offer… thought with the price we would be served something a bit higher quality to be honest. Didn’t match any other waffles sampled in Iceland. Our coffees were also served in possibly the smallest cup available and was more like a white coffee than a latté. This may have been down to the barista not knowing how to make a latté (as we overheard him say), however would’ve thought the more experienced barista would’ve made sure the coffee served was what was ordered.

The best dessert spot of Reykjavik! Here you can take a break with a great waffle or with the best rolled ice cream of the city, all with high quality ingredients. Super cozy place, cute seats and very kind staff. Super recommend!

We nipped in here after fancying a later night snack. It's very small, single person small business with big personality.
My friend had the waffle and said it was divine. I had the ice cream. I was so surprised by the presentation. The ice cream is flattened out and then rolled with your 2 ice cream options mixed together. It works really well. Portions are huge. We had the children's ones which were big. The regular size is not much more in price but would probably have been big enough for a meal in itself.
A lovely little store on the main street. So glad we found it

Small and cozy are the best two words to describe this cafe. It's filled to the brim with decorations that make you feel at home. It's small enough, with only five tables, all pretty close together. There was one girl behind the counter, but despite the cafe being full when we arrived, everything was made in a very timely manner and she always had a smile on her face.

We stopped by here today on arrival in Reykjavik. The place is lovely, really quirky with great food. We had the sharing platter with bagels/salmon/eggs it was delicious. The young lady was completely alone serving multiple customers and preparing the food. She was excellent, really friendly and efficient! Thank you so much, we will be back before we leave!

We ordered the rolled ice cream in a box. We were given two flavors, so we chose salted Carmel and kinder bueno. This salted caramel was disgusting! There was an insane amount of salt. Additionally, the worker put two tiny pieces kinder bueno into the ice cream. The worker also made sloppy rolls as he was constantly distracted by his friends.

After a busy day exploring Iceland, we went out to dinner followed by a stop at this ice cream house. My daughters were very excited to try rolled ice cream after seeing it on social media. My husband selected the bubble waffle dessert that was posted on the wall in a frame. The manager said that they had never made it, but said they could. Everyone in the family was happy! The desserts were super delicious. We would definitely recommend the passionfruit, mango rolled ice cream with coconut on top!

I didn't like it very much and I didn't like the waffle (my taste). I should have served the person in front of us, the staff disappeared. We had to wait several minutes for him to return. We asked him what they did, but the boy barely answered. So we ordered what we read on the wall (where some things were indicated), a waffle with chocolate. We sat down and after another 15 minutes or so, it came to us. At the "modest" sum of €12 per waffle (in my opinion not of high quality)

It was a great pleasure to discover this tiny and lovely place just in middle of downtown Reykjavik. Amazing rolled ice cream - you can pick all the toppings and flavours by yourself! They have all kind of candy, fruits and sauces, also vegan options. Haven't tried their waffles but the offer seems super yummy!

Who knew people rolled ice cream? We shared a large pistachio and some kind of white chocolate crushed cookie blend, topped with salted caramel and crumbled Oreos. It was gorgeous to look at and completely delicious. In the cutest little shop you can imagine. Just go!

Amazing to see the artistry behind the ice cream making, beautiful smile of their faces and a really cozy location.
Most of all; absolutely exquisite to have a freshly made ice-cream like this.
I can recommend nutella & banana with salt caramel topping 👌

Were there last Tuesday, the shop looks absolutely fantastic, very cute, beautifully decorated and on a great location. The staff were friendly and explained to us how the ice cream works. We watched how they make it (really cool..!) and it came out to be really tasty - we combined oreo and strawberry, and banana and kinder bueno. A great morning break during our exploration of Reykjavik, we will be back.
