Hygge Coffee and Micro Bakery is a bakery in 101, Reykjavik.
Hygge on Baronsstigur is a small Danish-inspired micro-bakery in central Reykjavik, baking sourdough and laminated pastries from scratch with seasonal ingredients.
Tip: Opened 2022, with a sibling site at Seljavegur 2 by Grandi. Cardamom knots and filled croissants sell out by mid-morning.
Address: Baronsstigur 6, 101 Reykjavik
Bjornsbakari on Hringbraut has baked since 1900, a long-running Reykjavik neighbourhood bakery turning out kleinur, snudur and daily bread for locals.
Tip: More local than touristy, out toward Vesturbaer. Good for traditional pastries without the downtown queues.
Worth the queue: Kleina doughnut
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.

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.
