More bakeries in Reykjavik
Sandholt Patisserie ★ 4.4
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
Braud and Co Austurstraeti ★ 4.3
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.

Sandholt ★ 4.6
Sandholt has baked on Laugavegur since 1920, a fourth-generation Reykjavik bakery whose long-fermented sourdough and croissants set the city's standard.

Worth the queue: Sourdough loaf
Braud and Co ★ 4.6
Braud and Co works a graffiti-painted house on Frakkastigur, a Reykjavik bakery whose warm cinnamon rolls and sourdough draw a near-constant queue.

Worth the queue: Cinnamon roll
