Sandholt

I absolutely loved this place! We had breakfast which was delicious and some passion fruit cake togo. The vibe is laidback and cozy. Very lovely atmosphere. They were very nice and sat us quickly at our table. The butter was on a rock which was unique and overall it was amazing to see an open bakery work while serving guests. Thank you for the great hospitality and window seat ♡ ❤️ They have many treats there. The cinnamon rolls were AMAZING. We will be back!!! Oh and we walked there from a couple streets over...I didnt really see parking near by.

Came here for Saturday and Sunday brunch. We had Chuck Shuka one day with the bacon and the other day with sausage, skyr yogurt and chia mango compote, braised lamb sandwich and ham and cheese poppyseed bun. Oat cap duo espresso please. Take away pastries were amazing!!! Highly recommend especially cream puffs that were light and refreshing!!! Strawberry, rhubarb and pistachio fine angelhair like topping … yum 😋

Wonderful pastries and waffles! We ate in one day and had kind servers who delivered great coffee and mouth watering eats. Cute chalk artwork inside and a warm vibe! We had 2 pastries and again, yummy coffee as take away and enjoyed it all in our hotel room before pushing off to the next location.

The décor instantly drew me in for my very first breakfast—and first meal—in Iceland. Wow! Everything was so spot on. Absolutely no regrets. I even took away a chicken sandwich—the bread was incredibly fresh and yummy. Try it for yourself!

This is one of the most popular bakeries in Reykjavik, and for good reason! We loved their pastries and couldn’t help but go back for a second time right before we had to fly back home. Get there early if you can! The crowd seems to pick up after 9:00A. In addition to serving up a variety of baked goods and chocolates, Sandholt is also a restaurant that serves actual breakfast and lunch dishes. When we went in at 9:30A one day, the entryway was packed with people waiting in line for pastries and others waiting for a table to dine in. + POPPY SEED BUN: This twisted golden bun was soft and bready, sprinkled evenly with poppy seeds and drizzled with a light sugary glaze. The bun itself didn’t have a strong flavor, but it goes well with a cup of coffee and was a great way to start the day. + PISTACHIO DANISH: This flaky pastry had a slight crispiness and was swirled with crushed pistachios. The layers were buttery and thin and I liked how this wasn’t too sweet. + BROWN SUGAR BUN: A must! Similar to a cinnamon roll, this bun was delightfully soft with a brown sugar cinnamon spread inside. Small pipings of frosting came on top, finished with crunchy chocolate pearls. Some of the brown sugar was caramelized on the bottom of the bun, giving it a little extra chew. It was such an indulgent treat. Pricing is not too bad considering the great quality of each pastry. If you only visit one bakery in Reykjavik, make sure it’s Sandholt!

Amazing bread and pastries! I go here quite often for sourdough bread and wipped butter and their pastries! But would not recommend to sit for a meal, just sit and enjoy coffee or pastry, but I was not amazed by the meals.

We could see this place from our window and knew we needed to start our first day touring Reykjavik here. Good luck not wanting one of everything from the bakery! We opted to wait about 10mins to sit at a table. It's clearly a very popular place and also run very efficiently. I cannot recommend the bread, butter, and jam enough; it was really wonderful. I'd opted for the shakshuka, which also did not disappoint and I eagerly shared with my family because the portion was much more than what I could tackle alone. They serve this beautifully whipped and salted butter on a river stone that was really just perfect in every way.

I absolutely loved their coffee and breakfast! I was so impressed that I had to bring home their sourdough pumpkin seed bread, and I’m totally head over heels for it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot with amazing baked goods! ☕✨
