Every year around NOW we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating some of what makes
Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully neverending discussion. The
primary purpose of BEST OF REYKJAVÍK is celebration! It’s about big-upping stuff, giving mad
props to it and patting it on the shoulder. The following are three places that are all-time category
champions! Turn to page 22 of this issue to read the full 2013 BEST OF REYKJAVÍK!
Maybe it’s no surprise at this point
(also, why would you be reading this
BEST OF list for surprises? Some
things don’t change)—Kaffismiðjan
remains the winner of this category
for the FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW. We’ve
explained this to you four times
already, but in case you’re new in
town, we should reiterate: Kaffismiðja
Íslands make the best coffee you will
drink in Reykjavík. They take that stuff
super seriously, roasting their beans
on-site and employing folks who know
just how to churn out a good cup of
whatever type coffee it is you thirst
for. Furthermore, the atmosphere is
unique, of the kind you will only find in
Reykjavík. Did we mention they have
a stack of vinyls you can play at your
delight? Boom!
BEST PLACE TO STOCK UP
ON LOCAL DESIGN:
KRAUM
BEST SHOP FOR HIGH
FASHION:
KRONKRON
Best Of Reykjavík
Anyone who has fallen under the
impression that "high fashion" is
synonymous with minimalistic designs
for major prices needs to stroll over
to KronKron. This high-end shop is
refreshingly colourful and pattern-
happy. The stockings that hang on the
centre display could easily double as
art pieces, the same goes for most of
the clothes in there. KronKron was
opened in 2004 by Hugrún Árnadóttir
and Magni Þorsteinsson, who double
as the mastermind designers behind
their own store brand KRON by KRO-
NKRON. The couple's high-end home-
made brand mingles with established
imports like Marc Jacobs, Vivienne
Westwood, and Bernhard Wilhelm. For
their third straight year, we give this
fancy fashion shop our highest honour!

It would be nearly blasphemous for
anyone who enjoys Nordic knick-
knacks to pass up a stop at Kraum. It
represents more than 200 Icelandic
artists, with a range of products and
prices that are sure to satisfy any
shoppers’ cravings for local design.
Our panel threw around some new
names to take this prize, but it ulti-
mately came down to the professional-
ism and dedication the folks at Kraum
have in selecting their excellent variety
of products. Naturally, they took this
category for their fourth straight year.
Keep up the good work, Kraum!
