14The Reykjavík Grapevine Issue 08— 2021Best of Reykjavík Time For Your Wallet To Come Out! Your guide to Reykjavík’s queer-owned businesses Words: The Official Grapevine Queer Capitalist Community Photos: Provided By Locations How can you best support queers? With your money, obviously. To be honest, there were WAY too many queer-owned spots to choose from in Reykjavík, so here’s a selection of our favourites. Café Babalú Skólavör"ustígur 22 Many a Grapevine interview has been con- ducted in the cosy upstairs seating area of Babalú. Warm and cheery, Babalú is a Reyk- javík institution, serving up lovely coffee and even lovelier vegan carrot cake. So if you’re looking for a post-parade pep up, get some caffeine and conversation at this Grapevine favourite. They also have a Star Wars themed bathroom. And what was Princess Leia if not a fundamental queer sexual awakening? Modus Hár Stórhöf"i 33 Hair is to queers what ‘Friends’ is to cisgender straight people. To get it done by people who do it right, head to Modus Hár. Owned by a queer couple, the place has a great vibe and can serve up pretty much anything you want. They are also a big supporter of the local queer scene, which must be applauded. For north- erners, there’s also a location in Akureyri and for those far out in the countryside, the same owners also operate harvorur.is which is our favourite online store for hair care in Iceland. Barónessan Barónsstígur 27 Flowers! Queer-owned flowers! Look, if you’ve spent any time on lesbian TikTok, you know queer ladies love some peonies. So pick some up at this downtown flower boutique and wow your partner with a bouquet, along with a handmade vegan dinner and screening of some Sarah Paulson show. Queer ladies love Sarah. Pallett Strandgata 75, Hafnarfjör"ur Just because you’re in Hafnarfjör"ur doesn’t mean you can’t contribute to the Gay Agen- da™. Tucked away in the harbourside town, Pallett Coffee Shop serves up flaky pastries, delightful veggie sausage rolls, and some tru- ly spectacular coffee. Bring your queer British friends. They’ll freak out (respectfully and quietly, of course.) Hyalin Hverfisgata 35 Along with candles, tarot and astrology, queers also notoriously love to cook. Owned by a French couple, this shop sells high-quality French products as well as other hard-to-find delicacies for the gastro-inclined. Don’t have time in the midst of the festivities to stop by the store? You can also order online at hyalin- shop.com. We’d love it if you got some goods for us too and dropped them by the office, btw. Æsir Cannabidiol Hverfisgata 39 It’s 2021. Happiness is out of control. Gay- owned CBD oil has taken the country by storm, meaning that no one is riddled with bodily or mental pain after too much danc- ing at the various Pride drag shows. Civilisa- tion rises. Britney is freed. Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Emotion’ is finally given the respect it de- serves. Life is good. Sæta Húsi" Laugavegur 6 OK, SÆTA HÚSI# IS QUEER OWNED. WHAT? The Grapevine office’s Pride Department freaked out after learning said information because we love Sæta Húsi". So if you’ve been drooling over that luscious Thai-rolled ice cream on Instagram, we have good news! This queer-owned spot is ready to serve deliciously fresh rolled ice cream, mixed with all sorts of candy and fruit. Also, they are queer-owned.
