"The Oldest Coffeehouse in Reykjavík Rekjavík’s oldest coffee shop, Prikid’s brightly-painted exterior makes it look like it could be an ostentatious Bavarian beer garden. However, the popular pub is perfectly grungy and divey—and surprisingly diverse—on the inside. A popular venue for local music, you’ll see customers from all walks of life: stoic retirees drinking coffee in the morning, families with toddlers in the early afternoon, 30-something couples on a date in the early evening, and the city’s norm-core and punkish teenagers who come out late at night when the DJs start spinning. Best of all, in a city where alcohol can be staggeringly expensive, the cheap beers at Prikid, are a welcome relief."

It seems to be one of the oldest coffee shops in Iceland. The place has a great atmosphere, full of character, and the location is perfect. The staff are very friendly, and the coffee tastes good too. I would definitely come back again if I have time.

The food was v good, the steak a bit chewy, just need to ask how we need to cook the steak ( medium or well done ) . I took the steak and eggs plate , it was very fulfilling and the eggs and salad and the toast bread were excellent . Above all the service was v friendly and nice with everyone .

Great little pub/coffee shop. Seemed to be a lot of locals. Definitely low key vibe. Super friendly staff. Good coffee and a croissant.

Went here twice and really loved it. First time for beers and the next morning for coffee and a ham and cheese croissant that was delicious. Very friendly place and just a great overall cool vibe about it.

I visited 3 times; that kind of says it all. This place is great for a hearty breakfast/brunch to start the day. The portions are great, the costs very fair and a really lovely atmosphere. The filter coffee is free refills too. Friendly, happy staff and a great central location.

This spot has incredible local flavor - the people are great, both the staff and the locals who come by. We even had a cute little dog from a local jump up onto a chair to join us for lunch. Food was good - very classic and simple, but solidly good and I’d go back in a heartbeat!

On a cool and wet Wednesday morning, my wife and I stumbled in here looking for coffee, and we weren't disappointed. They have a good coffee menu, but my hint is to take the house coffee at Kr400. It's in a flask at the end of the bar, together with cups and cream, and it's free refills. Superb value and an excellent drinking coffee. By all means, pay more for your cappuccinos and the like, but if it's coffee you like, you will not be disappointed in their house brew. Staff were friendly and the cafe had locals and tourists in - a good sign as locals stay away from tourist traps. This cafe proudly states on the outside that it's been here since 1951, and it isn't difficult to feel that sense of longevity inside, as few concessions have been made to modernity. But it's brill, cosy and welcoming - what more would you want?
