New In Town: The Grumpy Whale

If you’re up for a sweet adventure, look no further. The Grumpy Whale have opened shop at Skólavörðurstígur 3a, serving up the best hot chocolate in town. For now it’s a store where you can stock up on hot chocolate and fun items before visiting the volcano, but it will also soon open up a coffee/hot chocolate house. The Reykjavík Grapevine fell in love with this chocolate a long time ago and we’ve sold it in our store. Now you can visit them and enjoy the magic yourself.

Note: Due to the effect the Coronavirus is having on tourism in Iceland, it’s become increasingly difficult for the Grapevine to survive. If you enjoy our content and want to help the Grapevine’s journalists do things like eat and pay rent, please consider joining our High Five Club.

You can also check out our shop, loaded with books, apparel and other cool merch, that you can buy and have delivered right to your door.
