Brew and a cake - Edit
Stopped here for a much needed brew and cake after our walking tour, we needed to warm up and sit down. I was very impressed to know they had 4 sweet vegan options including a flapjack, a chocolate chip cookie, apple pie and carrot cake, I opted for the latter with a peppermint tea, it was a big portion and pretty tasty. For 2 hot drinks and 2 cakes it came to £16.55.

Cozy and friendly! - Edit
Really cute and cozy little place. Everything is written in Icelandic on the board, so I just asked about vegan options. I got an amazing sandwich with mushrooms, fried tofu and some kind of curried spread. Really tasty!

Pros: friendly staff, tasty vegan food, easy to find
Cons: expensive

loved the vibe - Edit
We enjoyed a leisurely latte and apple pie. Love that they have vegan food options in addition to vegan milks. The cafe has a cozy, relaxed vibe, exactly the type of place I like to sit and sip.

Decent food, cosy atmosphere - Edit
Nice little place with a very cosy atmosphere. We went for breakfast which was good but wasn't anything very exciting. Got a mushroom and cheese toastie with vegan cheese (need to ask when you order). Coffee was great and they have different milk alternatives. The staff were friendly and were helpful when I asked what vegan options they had. They also have some cakes and slices that are vegan which I will need to come back and try.

tried this place twice this week, both times it showed as being open on here, and on the door, but both times it was looked up and in darkness. it's also looking dusty inside, maybe the staff are on holiday? or its closed down?

Pure Comfort - Edit
I have fallen head over heels in love with this cozy café! This place is icelandic coffee shop comfort at it's best! They serve an awesome vegan grilled sandwich with a cheese alternative and they know how to decently marinate tofu. Although Iceland is a nation of notorious coffee drinkers (C is for Cookie has a free coffee refill) they offer a good assortment of organic tea. If you go for coffee they have several plant milk options and the nice lady behind the counter was so kind and made me a hot chocolate out of dark chocolate shavings - because usually their regular hot chocolate is prepared with milk chocolate. Their vegan carrot cake is more of the chunky type, the spices are balanced nicely and the presentation is just cute. Personally I like chewy carrot cake more but the the taste is flawless in my opinion. The menu is written in Icelandic but the staff is English-speaking.

so many vegan desserts! - Edit
They offered carrot cake, apple pie, flapjack (whatever that is) and a cookie all vegan! I bought the cake and the pie and the carrot cake blew me away it was so good. didn't try the pie but I'm sure it's just as great.

Where were the vegan options? - Edit
Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with this place. It was a cute little café with friendly staff, but there were hardly any vegan options.
Read moreThe only 'vegan' option there was a carrot cake I was nervous to try it because someone else said it might not be vegan. After being assured that it was completely vegan, I ordered it and it was delicious. I'm not sure why that other person thought it wasn't, I think it was just speculation. It didn't really taste vegan but butter cream isn't supposed to!
I wish I could have rated this place higher. For a meat eater or a vegetarian, it would have been a great place, but unfortunately it's not vegan friendly unless you want carrot cake for your lunch.
Pros: Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere
Cons: limited vegan options

I very much enjoyed coming here to try the grilled tofu sandwich (hummus subbed in for the usual cheese) and drink some coffee. The staff were friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the atmosphere and style of the space very much.

Big ol' cup of soy goodness - Edit
Looking for a giant soy latte that won't break the bank while in Reykjavik then head to C is for Cookie. This is the cafe where I got the biggest bang for my buck. The cups are huge and the prices are small. That's a great combo while on vacation!

Very good - Edit
Sun-drenched small Cafe very close to the city center.
Read moreIt's snug in there, clean as well, staff is friendly, food is good, prices are alright, they even offer old bread in small bags for the ducks. 'C is for Cookie' is a top choice to eat out in every way.
There is also a bookshelf, if you wanna read. The seating space is limited though. Once there are a few people in there (often times they are well patronized), you can only sit on a windowsill kind of thing. Usually there are very limited outdoor seating spaces, but to sit there might be risky, since the weather may changing quite quickly and surprisingly.
They offer lots of vegan choices, in this regard you shouldn't be disappointed.
Pros: tasty food, notable vegan options
Cons: limited space

C is for Cutie - Edit
That's what my wife has to say about Anna anyway! Great coffee, great atmosphere, great cookies. First morning I had a slice of vegan mixed berry pie fresh out of the oven. Second morning I was feeling a bit more savory and had a made to order tofu sandwich. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it's listed with cheese. I had them substitute with grilled onion, mushroom and tomato and I'm pretty convinced it's the best breakfast sandwich you can get in Reykjavik.

Good coffee stop - Edit
Iceland LOVES coffee- it's even given away free in strange places like supermarkets (I guess for when it gets really cold, who knows?).
Read moreAnyway, their coffee is indeed delightful- yummy big lattes, in nice big mugs made by a proper barista that knows how to make good coffee with soy!
I also got a take away tofu sandiwich- they substituted and put some hummus in it for me (I can't remember what was on the menu, possibly cheese?) but either way, the chef came out and spoke to me/ checked exactly what I wanted which I appreciated =)
Downside is very few seats- so you may need to wait a bit OR try coming back a bit later, etc! I saw a few cakes/treats but didn't try any.
Pros: Great coffee, cozy/warm, Knowledgeable staff
Cons: few seats, avoid peak times!

great latte - Edit
I had an awesome soy latte with vegan chocolate on top. They had several vegan options, savory and sweet. I had the carrot cake. It wasn't that great but not terrible, dry with really sugary icing. Go here for a coffee tho, free wifi and a nice atmosphere.

Excellent grilled tofu sandwich - Edit
A lovely, cosy cafe with great soy lattes and delicious, if somewhat limited, vegan options. I ordered the tofu sandwich without the cheese and was asked right away if I was vegan and would like mushrooms on it instead. The staff were friendly and super accommodating, and the sandwich was great! Highly recommended. You may not find lots of vegan options here, but a lovely cafe nonetheless.

No cookies! - Edit
I was super hoping this place was going to sell vegan cookies, but no suck luck. We had the one tofu dish on the menu (chalkboard menu so I'm sure it changes) but the entire place is egg & cheese, which is just liquid meat. Its a nice coffee house type feel of a place just a street away from the main drag to the cathedral. Very busy, too. I didn't see the vegan cake, but will check again tomorrow!
Read morePros: one vegan item
