Opening its doors in January, Ísland is pretty new, but unknown it is not. This excellent, little ice cream shop has been making quite a name for itself. In fact, it scored our ‘Best ice cream’ award’! Owner Hlédís Sveinsdóttir sells specialty ice cream that she procures straight from farms around the country. Growing up on a farm herself, Hlédís understands where ice cream comes from, and wants others to appreciate the work that many cows and farmers put in to each scoop. Her shop, located right across the street from Kringlan, sells this special farm-made ice cream, called Holtsel af- ter the farm where it’s produced. Ísland also offer the regular scoop and soft serve stuff from Kjörís, but Holtsel is really why you should pay Ísland a visit. Ringing up at 420 ISK a scoop, it’s for- tunate that most people tell Hlédís they only need one scoop to feel full. Ísland serves up scoops of Holtsel in an array of flavours, the most popu- lar being coconut with chocolate chip, strawberry skyr (made with real skyr. And strawberries, of course), and beer (yes, it DOES taste like beer). Stand-by flavours like chocolate, vanilla, choco- late-liquorice, and caramel are always in stock. This tasty treat is also avail- able in boxes to take home. Ísbúðin Ísland offers a variety of fro- zen treats for every customer. If you’re jonesing for a sugar fix, you can find all the traditional candy toppings, dips, and sauces. If healthy and refreshing is more to your taste, there’s a variety of skyr and yogurt based ice creams as well as fresh strawberries, rhubarb pieces, and agave and dandelion syr- ups to top it off. They also stock a good assortment of organic yogurt products and old Icelandic skyr. If you’re looking for some delicious, filling ice cream straight from the farm, look no further than Ísland. This awe- some little shop will fulfil each and ev- ery one of your ice cream needs. While it may cost a few krónur more than that boring soft serve stuff, your tummy will thank you. The Best Scoop Around Coffee Pioneers In 101 Reykjavík’s Tastiest Ice Cream Reykjavík’s Original Café Ísbúðin Ísland Stigahlíð 45-47, 105 Mokka Skólavörðustíg 3A, 101 ALLISON SAVAGE JULIA STAPLES ALLISON SAVAGE JULIA STAPLES Mokka, founded in 1958, is one of Reykjavík’s oldest coffeehouses. When asked why they think it’s stuck around for so long, the proprietors answered “Because it’s never changed.” Truer words were never spoken. Mokka’s interior is shockingly similar to what it must have looked like decades ago, when the first Italian espresso machine in Iceland made its home on Mokka’s counter. Strong, Italian coffee is something that sets this cozy coffeehouse apart from its other downtown counterparts. As does some delicious, Belgian- style waffles that are always great for brunch. Mokka also offers regular ex- hibits from some local, Icelandic artists. This comfy, Reykjavík staple offers a nice atmosphere, rich coffee, and some serious nostalgia. It is a true 101 insti- tution. Special | Best Of Reykjavík: Locals "One of my favourite places in town is Café Flóra in the Laugardalur Botani- cal Gardens. It's incredibly restful to sit down there and enjoy some coffee surrounded by plants and goldfish. I am also very happy with the area that's in formation down at the harbour these days, that started with Sægreifinn but has now turned into a cluster of restau- rants and shops." . Fantastic Flóra Ólöf Arnalds, musician
