Baka Baka

We tried Cinnamon rolls at a few popular places and this one was our favorite! Just the right amount of sweetness with a texture I enjoyed. We liked them so much we went every day for breakfast while we were in Reykjavik.

Baka Baka is a cozy, stylish gem in the heart of Reykjavík that absolutely delivered one of our favorite meals of the trip. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff and a menu that’s both creative and comforting. We ordered the fried goat cheese salad and the Bianca mushroom pizza, and both were outstanding. The salad was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The warm, crispy goat cheese was rich and creamy inside, perfectly balanced by fresh greens, sweet apple slices, candied walnuts, and a light vinaigrette. Every bite had the ideal mix of texture—crunchy, creamy, crisp—and flavor—savory, sweet, and tangy. The Bianca mushroom pizza was just as impressive. It came on a thin, golden crust that was crisp on the outside and chewy inside—clearly baked with care. Instead of a tomato base, the Bianca featured a delicate white sauce, melted mozzarella, and an earthy, generous layer of oyster mushrooms. It was rich but not heavy, with a wonderful balance of flavors that let each ingredient shine. Baka Baka combines casual charm with truly elevated food. Everything felt thoughtful and well-executed. We left completely satisfied and will absolutely be returning on our next visit to Reykjavík.

This was our breakfast go to place each morning for coffee and bakery goods. We ate the ham and cheese croissant, the chocolate chip cookie (looks like a small pie), and the Vin…. Was my favorite. It had almonds on one side, a vanilla frosting down the middle and cinnamon and sugar on the other side with a date or apple filling. I believe it was apple. It is now my new favorite! Took very little time each morning, dang it was good!

Love this place! Pizza was perfect as was the fried goat cheese salad. The cocktails were good also and service was very nice.

This place doubles as a pastry coffee shop during the day and a pizzeria in the evenings. Service was a bit slow, and it wasn’t clear whether it was table or counter service, which left us slightly confused at first. There’s a tempting display of pastries in the window, but oddly, the prices didn’t match the menu inside. It seems the takeaway prices are about a third cheaper than the sit-in ones — something to keep in mind.Also found the coffee prices here higher than In most places at 750-990 ISK. Initially wanted the Kleina but was told had sold out! We tried the cinnamon roll (1,200 ISK) and it was pretty good. Not too sweet, with a nice cinnamon topping — definitely above average. The interior has an eclectic vibe: mismatched wallpaper, exposed brickwork, and a bar area that feels quite cramped. Watch your head near the tables — the low-hanging lights make for a few unintentional bumps.

Amazing, wonderful bakery, flakey croissants, and many authentic Icelandic pastries. Great funky place, great service! Super convenient lication.. Then at 5PM it flops into a superb pizza place, thin crust exceptional 12" pizzas that worth the wait! Do not miss this place in Reykjavik!!

Let’s talk about the pizza at this humble spot that morphs from bakery to pizza spot late afternoon. One word: INSANE (in the best way). A case study of just a few top notch ingredients, perfectly executed, and elevated to something truly special. We tried the Nduja and the Bianco pizzas as well as the pasta special which was pappardelle with bolognese. The pizza crusts were perfectly thin, charred, chewy, and pillowy in all the right places. The tomato sauce deeply flavorful. Blobs of Nduja added pops of richness and spice. Bianco pizza was very unique with a rich white sauce, thin enoki/oyster mushrooms, and truffle shavings on top. While I’m not Italian, let’s just say I’ve had some great pies in my life. This cracks my top 10. The pasta was unfortunately a bit over salted for my taste, but the ingredients were top notch including the thin pasta ribbons and sauce. Service was informal and not overly fussy. If you’re visiting and want an alternative to Icelandic food, I can highly recommend it. From the crowd during our visit it’s clear that it’s a local favorite for pizza.

A very interesting bakery in the heart of Reykjavik. Very tasty products and friendly service. Unfortunately prices very high even for Iceland. No parking even on the street. Free water at every table. Definitely worth trying their flavors.
