Address: Hringbraut 35, 101 Reykjavik
The patisserie counter at Sandholt on Laugavegur turns out croissants, eclairs and seasonal cakes, the laminated side of Reykjavik's oldest family bakery.
Order: A butter croissant, or whatever seasonal tart fills the cabinet that day.
Tip: The same room as the bakery and cafe, so everything is fresh. Cakes can be ordered ahead for occasions.
Worth the queue: Croissant
The Austurstraeti outpost of Braud and Co puts the bakery's cinnamon rolls and sourdough right in the centre of Reykjavik, between the downtown sights.
Tip: The most central of the branches, handy off Ingolfstorg. Grab a roll and eat it on the square.
Worth the queue: Cinnamon roll
Sandholt has baked on Laugavegur since 1920, a fourth-generation Reykjavik bakery whose long-fermented sourdough and croissants set the city's standard.
Tip: The all-day breakfast in the cafe section pairs the bread with eggs and cheese. Arrive early for croissants.
Worth the queue: Sourdough loaf
Braud and Co works a graffiti-painted house on Frakkastigur, a Reykjavik bakery whose warm cinnamon rolls and sourdough draw a near-constant queue.
Order: A cinnamon roll pulled warm from the oven; ask what just came out.
Tip: You can watch the bakers through the open kitchen. Multiple branches, but Frakkastigur is the original.
Worth the queue: Cinnamon roll
Bernhoftsbakari, founded 1834, is Iceland's oldest business, a Reykjavik bakery now run by the fifth generation and stocked with snudur and kleinur.
Order: A snudur, the Icelandic cinnamon bun, or a twisted kleina doughnut.
Tip: Iceland's oldest continuously operating business, on Klapparstigur. The traditional pastries are the draw.
Worth the queue: Snudur cinnamon bun
The Braud and Co branch at Hlemmur on Laugavegur brings the bakery's cinnamon rolls and sourdough to the food-hall end of a busy Reykjavik street.
Tip: A shorter wait than the Frakkastigur original, beside the Hlemmur food hall. Same recipes throughout.
