is more like a secondhand clothing
boutique than a charity shop. It’s
expensive but it ’s all imported
stuff you won’t find anywhere else.
They’re also very particular with
their selection: after sorting through
maybe six shirts, they’ll determine
that just one is truly good enough.
26. Lucky Records
Rau#arárstígur 10
Lucky Records is probably the biggest
record shop in Iceland, with shelves
upon shelves of new and used vinyl
and CDs on offer. They have a small
stage where local and visiting bands
sometimes perform, and expert staff
that can always help you find what
you’re looking for. Dig, dig, dig!
scene by storm upon opening in
2018, with its eclectic streetwear
selection. They have designers that
no one else has.
20. Fischer
Fischersund
More art installation than regular
store, the "Sigur Rós shop" is an
aesthetic environment with a
soothing soundtrack, sweet scents
floating in the air, and a natural,
earthy colour palette. They sell a
range of amazing things, from hand-
picked tea, to artworks and records.
21. I)A Zimsen
Vesturgata 2a
This peaceful spot is equal parts
café and bookstore, so you can get
a coffee and a snack while you leaf
through your purchases. Everything
there is interesting. If the magazines
fail, people-watching never does.
22. 12 Tónar
Skólavör#ustígur 15
This city-centre record store is
something of an institution, offering
the unique experience of having the
store staff ask about your music taste
then sit you down with a coffee, some
headphones, and a pile of Icelandic
records.
23. Farmers And Friends
Hólmasló# 2 & Laugavegur 37
If you want to pick up an Icelandic
sweater, peruse the Farmers Market
outlet. Their wares combine Nordic
style with a fresh aesthetic, providing
you with a modern take on traditional
pieces.
24. CNTMP
Laugavegur 12b
This sleek and minimal streetwear
boutique occupies an enviable spot
on the main Laugavegur strip. An
acronym for “contemporary,” the
shop’s name describes its concept—
the store will sell limited garments by
streetwear brands.

Gaeta Gelato
A#alstræti 6
Ice cream is a longstanding culinary
staple for Icelanders. But for too long
Reykjavík has been deprived of one
of the dessert’s best-known and per-
haps most delicious varieties: gelato.
Enter Gaeta Gelato on Ingólfstorg. It is
owned by newly-arrived Italian trans-
plants with nearly 25 years of experi-
ence as gelatai. Their artisanal and
authentic flavours, from blueberry
to Piedmontese hazelnut, are made
with fresh and well-sourced Icelan-
dic ingredients. Though only recently
opened, Gaeta has already won over
a crowd of committed regulars. NB
