"This bakery changed Reykjavík’s bread landscape with Danish-style rugbrauð (rye bread), creative takes on the snúður (cinnamon roll), and other baked goods. Since opening in 2016, the business has expanded rapidly around town, and though baker Ágúst Einþórsson is no longer involved, the quality has stayed consistent." - Nicholas Gill
Walked toward to visit Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík, Iceland. Saw this bakery shop on the way. Smells amazing and lots of locals inside. It was a good sight! I wasn't hesitant to pop in! The twist buns and croissants etc looked amazing and smells really nice! I don't like the cinnamon so they recommended the vanilla or toffee flavour. That was the best bun I've tasted. The flavour and the texture. It was soft and warm. Yum!! We went back there to buy 4 more. Must try! One bun cost £4.95

More than hype. Legit good.
I wondered if I would like this place, as from photos it’s hard to tell if their famous cinnamon buns are moist or dry. I can attest they are very moist, especially when warm still fresh from the oven, full of butter, perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar including a bit of crispness in the outer rings from outer sugar crystallizing during the bake. Other pastries were also great. This place is legit good!

The building, the atmosphere, the selection of goodies, oh the cinnamon rolls... just thinking about it makes me hungry! So delicious! We went there twice while we were in Reykjavik (only 2 days). LOVED the cinnamon rolls, croissant, and scones!

One of my favorite bakery and pastry shops in Europe!
They have the best cinnamon bun I’ve ever had…absolutely delicious.
The chili-cheese bread and the cheese&ham croissant were also amazing.
Honestly, we ended up eating there almost every single day during our holidays.
The staff are very nice and polite, which made the experience even better.
Highly recommend!

Best Cinnamon rolls in Reykjavik!! The portions are generous and can serve as a sweet breakfast to start off your day. Warm and fresh out of the oven, definitely a must when visiting the capital.

I probably had the best pastry I’ve ever eaten while walking in downtown Reykjavik. I tried the coffee and cinnamon roll and everything about the experience was perfect. All the pastries are homemade snd rustic both crispy and buttery inside. Beats everything else in the city and is only 2 minutes from the famous church.
If I ever come back to Iceland that would be the first place I would come back to!

Unfortunately my cinnamon bun was still doughy in the middle. It hadn’t been cooked properly. It was still warm when I got it, so presume just out of the oven.
I think they are pushing to get them out fast and unfortunately not giving them enough time to cook.

The BEST cinnamon roll I've ever had. It's crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. It's sweet but not too sweet and so moist. The roll is quite large so easily shareable with others.
