Having briefly ceded the throne to Litli Bóndabærinn (which recently moved to Grafarvogur), Kaffifélagið has surged back to reclaim their title as best cup of joe-to-go. According to our resident coffee connoisseur, at Kaffifélagið you just “feel like you’re getting something more.” They put some heart into serving up your coffee, asking how much milk you want instead of just slapping it all together and tossing it in your direction. Beyond that (milk of) human kindness, their coffee is sourced with the finest Italian espresso beans, making for a deep, full-flavoured drink. Due to limited seating space, the “to-go” part is almost by necessity—however if there are seats available, be sure to sip, pause, and take advantage of the friendly atmosphere.
