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.

Hours: Daily from 07:00
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.

Brikk on Hateigsvegur near Hlemmur reinvents the Icelandic snudur in a Reykjavik bakery, with salt-caramel and Nutella versions plus sourdough sandwiches.
