Grái Kötturinn
This small, six table café situated in the heart of old Reykjavik doubles as a bookshop/art gallery. While enjoying the massive, and legendary, breakfast special commonly known as “The Trucker” you can either accompany the meal by picking a book from one of the shelves or admiring the art on the walls. This is a Reykjavík type place, something that needs to be experienced in person; it is a particularly popular place during morning hours and the perfect place to start your workday.

Kisan concept store
Opened in 2005, Kisan has already become a popular stop for all those who love to shop for different things. It is a concept store run by a French-Icelandic couple who, after travelling around the world, decided to create a store where they could offer a sample of the best products they came across during their travelling days. Hence, Kisan offers various exclusive items such as jewellery, children's clothing, toys, books, and Icelandic made clothing. It's a store unlike any other in the Reykjavík area.

Þrír Frakkar
Owned and run by Úlfar Eysteinsson chef and his family, Þrír Frakkar is a nice addition to the flora of seafood restaurants. Conveniently located in the centre of Reykjavík, it offers a charming and relaxed atmosphere, as well as personalized feel since it only seats 44 people. Among the Icelandic delicacies that the restaurant offers it is worth while to take a bite from a smoked puffin breast or the whale pepper steak.

 Kaffitár
Forget about Starbucks, Kaffitár offers gourmet coffee like you've never tasted it before. Brewed with love and poured with affection, the coffee here is well worth tasting. On Sunday mornings the locals will drop by to have a cup of latté and a cream cheese bagel, Kaffitár's most popular serve.

66°North
This is the place to shop for some real, Icelandic outdoor clothing. 66°North has been dressing Icelanders according to weather since 1926. Well established within the Icelandic psyche, the store accordingly names its brand of outdoor clothing for children after the Norse Gods. Even though the company has been branching out recently (you can now buy 66°North clothing in Latvia and the United States) its heart still lies in Iceland. It's always a good gift idea to buy one of the warm, stylish fleece sweaters to bring back home.
