Why These 5 Bakeries in Reykjavik, Iceland Are Worth The Hype

[@GeekFurious]

Oh wow, I just had a wave of emotion flood over me seeing you at the bakery my grandparents used to take me.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Aww, that’s lovely to hear. I hope the wave of emotion was a good feeling. ❤️

[@GeekFurious]

@@AllThingsIceland They loved me very much. Nothing but good feelings. Thank you.

[@MyMicroReparationsTherapy]

I showed my 5yr old yr videos and she said "I love her"🎉 We love your content!❤ Thank you!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Omg, that’s so sweet!!! Send lots of hugs to you and your 5 year!! My pleasure and thank you for sharing that with me. 🥹❤️❤️❤️

[@MyMicroReparationsTherapy]

@AllThingsIceland Most definitely will. Stay well!!

[@markuserikssen]

This video makes me hungry! Brauð & co and Sandholt are indeed very good! 😁

[@AllThingsIceland]

Mission accomplished! 🤭 Glad you enjoy those places too.

[@victoriagreen3047]

Honey buns are my favorite ❤😊

[@blipjockey3100]

We’ve been to Deig a few times and really like it. We’ll definitely have to try some of these other places. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffkantorowskistravaig2643]

Our favorite was Baka baka which was conveniently located near where we were staying!

[@AllThingsIceland]

That one is lovely too 😊

[@JackieOdonnel]

When I was there over the summer, I had the créme brūlèe donut at Deig and it was phenomenal. The others in your video all look great. I appreciate the vegan options too.

[@Mcat2040]

This is awesome! I'm so excited for my new years trip, and I love that you highlight vegan goodies as a vegan viewer! I have a video request to throw into the void: Budget eats in Iceland (of course with a vegan twist as you see fit). I suspect hat some baked goods could count here!

[@nikkirockznikkirockz8551]

You've goT to take me when I come there Boo, and grab a shopping cart! 😄

[@AllThingsIceland]

😂😂 Deal!

[@tacrewgirl]

All of the bakeries looked yummy!

[@AllThingsIceland]

🥳🥳🥳

[@somethingaboutmary1873]

Yummo😋

[@AllThingsIceland]

So good 😊

[@itsmeLori]

Hygge was on my list and did not disappoint, so good! Went to Braud because of your video and it was great too, thanks!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Yay!! Glad to hear that. 🥳🥳🥳

[@TheLifetraveler1]

I am so impressed. I just saw you on a CNBC media broadcast. I've been following you for awhile, so it is nice to see how you are growing there. Wish you'd do a travel guide thing for Black Americans. I've been to Iceland before and plan to return, but would like to motivate other's in my metro city (ATL) to visit the island.

[@DeniseMitchell-West]

Have been to Braud, it was amazing. Definitely would love to try the creme brule one!

[@AllThingsIceland]

I hope you do. 😊

[@johnborak3458]

Braug og Co ia a MUST every time we visit Reykjavík! Thank you!!!!❤

[@AllThingsIceland]

I feel you on that. My pleasure. ❤️

[@CactusLadyCreation]

Yum Looks so good 😋

[@AllThingsIceland]

It was! 😊

[@ItsLondon5]

AWESOME 💯💯💯💎💎💎

[@richardrybicki749]

Mary from Florida.Thank you for taking the 2 lbs gained for us.Your the best.Which of these use thurmo energy from volcano.

[@AllThingsIceland]

😂 My pleasure. The majority of buildings in Iceland use geothermal energy for electricity and heat.

[@lisamarie9857]

I’ve been to three of the five. Sandholt and Brouð are my faves. When I stayed at Sand Hotel, I ate at Sandholt every chance I got.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Lucky you!! Glad to hear that you got to try 3 out of the 5. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisamarie9857]

@ Going back to Iceland for the sixth time in 2025. I’ll get to the other two then!

[@DiggerWhoops]

I enjoy all your videos....this one, too!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jeffreymiller9173]

They all look amazing, and we will certainly try to get to all of them when we return in February. We have been to Braud and Co. before and shall certainly return. Thanks for the video.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Awesome to hear that you’re coming back in February. How long are you visiting?

[@heregoeseverythiing]

Sandholt is wonderful!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Agreed! 😊

[@wendysullivan5511]

Don't know how to choose - they all looked amazing!

[@AllThingsIceland]

I say choose them all. 😉😂😊

[@erinrobinson6436]

Hoh! That pretzel bun with jam!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Soooooooooooo good! 🤤😊

[@karenfriebel7680]

Anything with pink frosting has my heart! 🩷 That will be my first pick next time we come back to Iceland! Takk, Jewells❣️ It all looks sooooo good!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Sounds great! Mín er ánægjan. ❤️

[@rev.ruthe.gallot9103]

They all look amazing!!! Whenever I go to Iceland, I seek out a simple Kleinur (sp?) with some hot cocoa. Not fancy but so comforting, especially dipped in the coca.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Klein he is delicious. No need to be fancy. 😊

[@MeowyKissmas]

Sandholt was the first place my husband and I visited when we got off the plane in Keflavik the first time ❤ it was 6am, freezing, dark, and we had no gps, it was frightening and we were worried about what we had gotten ourselves into. I walked into the airport again and downloaded an offline map and found the only place in Reykjavik that was open for breakfast, the second we walked in our lives completely changed ❤❤❤ Will have to check the others out!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Oh, how lovely!! Glad that Sandholt was a positive turning point in your trip. Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@LawDog88]

Deig was a GO TO when we visited in Feb 2023. A MUST if visiting downtown Reykjavik!!!!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Totally agree. Glad you enjoyed it too and thanks for sharing.

[@LawDog88]

@@AllThingsIceland Well, we hope to see you in Feb 2025, we are bringing the whole family this time!!!!

[@goodtreegoodfruitartco]

I’d like to try them all!!

[@AllThingsIceland]

I hope you do! 😊

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

Wow, everything looks so good!!!! I want to go to Dieg!! And then all the rest!

[@AllThingsIceland]

So many delicious options. I hope you do visit them all. 🤗

[@shesaknitter]

Yum, Jewells! I just want you to know that I gained 10 lbs. just looking at all of that deliciousness! Woke my sweet tooth right up! I want that creme brulee donut, or whatever that was. So utterly decadent...right up my alley. Thanks for another fun video!

[@Sindrijo]

You got a new camera or phone you're filming with? The colours in some of the shots look very washed out, like in your outro the colours have been washed out so much it's even hard to make out your face. (3:10) It's a bit like those over the top skin smoothing filters? It looks a bit uncanny to be honest, just a heads up. It's the same at 0:52 it's like the brightness has been boosted way too much.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Thanks! Yea, I noticed that too and I’ll look into why it’s coming out different.

[@jenniferpersinger4020]

I ❤Braud and Co, but Deig is also amazing…I’m sad Sweet Aurora didn’t make this list!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Thanks for sharing your favorites. I think I need to do a part 2 because I’ve only have an Easter egg from Sweet Aurora.

[@jenniferpersinger4020]

Girl! They have a pistachio eclair you MUST EAT 😅❤🎉 it’s got me drooling thinking about it!

[@SoCo_Surfcasting]

Geirabakarí in Borgarnes (next to Bonus) is A-MAZING. I had the best Swiss Mocha and donut in my 49 years on earth LOL. Every time we come to Iceland, we try to get up there! Almar Bakari in Selfoss is also Fantastic!

[@erfunk]

We stayed less than a block from the Brauð & Co near Sandholt. That was really dangerous! Did eat at both, but it was hard to beat the convenience! Will have to return, if nothing else to try the others!

[@Radaos]

Iceland isn't cheap but I got a pastry at Brauð & Co that was large enough to last me two days, so I guess that's value.

[@veronicamartin7254]

You had me at bakery🎉. Will have to try the oldest bakery. Brikk has a vegan chocolate cake--just sayin.😊

[@AllThingsIceland]

😮😮 I need to try that!!

[@Logotic]

Braud&Co is my third most favorite thing in Iceland, behind only the fish buffet at Tjoruhusid and the music!

[@AllThingsIceland]

Nice!! Thanks for sharing.

[@kenya9540]

Hello, All of the bakeries look really good. However, I would really like to visit Sandholt. Also, which ingredients are different in a vegan croissant?

[@AllThingsIceland]

I hope you do. The vegan version used plant-based milk and plant-based butter.

[@ladyloneill]

Hard to decide! But first I’d try is the vegan croissant. I know - so boring, so be it.

[@AllThingsIceland]

Not boring at all. It’s so delicious!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

At first I thought everything at the first bakery looked delicious. And it does. But they all look really good. It was nice to see what each bakery had to offer. Iceland is still on my list of places to visit. I saw where, a year or so ago, someone went to a place that served pizza that had pistachio and truffle on it. I didn't even know that either were pizza toppings. But it sounds good to me now as well.

[@primarytrainer1]

is the rainbow croissant at hygge good?

[@ingridgazo7539]

Some of them look good👌 but they also seem to have too much dough , I mean the whole thing looks dry . I may have that impression because I' m Parisian and after visiting ( and living ) in some other european countries I've had a lot to compare to and I stick to french bakeries that are to die for and can be found at every corner of any street . Also the icelandic prices are extremely expensive . Even more than here . 💱 .Here it has gotten very expensive too ! 😣But those prices will help me to keep looking fit , let' s try to see something positive in this story !😅

[@gfritlev9956]

Bernhöftsbakarí. Bakarameistari. 👍 But Reykjavik has grown 50% since the 1980s so logically there is more variety. One of those delicassies is.. Brauð & Co

[@AllThingsIceland]

lol for sure. Thanks for sharing.

[@claressadubs]

You mentioned vegan options a couple of times and it made me wonder, other than baked goods, how vegetarian-friendly is Iceland? When I think of Icelandic food it's definitely heavy on the meats!

[@shawnbuchanan01]

Ohh I wish that there was a business that sold vegan Icelandic treats.

[@AllThingsIceland]

There is!! It’s called Plantan kaffihus. I wasn’t sure if they baked everything in house so I didn’t include them here but I plan to do a video about all vegan places in Reykjavík. 😊

[@shawnbuchanan01]

@@AllThingsIceland Thank you for the info!

[@evenkeel2012oc]

I’ve been there before.

[@YouTubeUzername]

How long has she been vegan?

[@AllThingsIceland]

I’ve been plant-based for 8.5 years 😊

[@scottjaycox949]

Ok, so they all look fantastic, especially the last 2 but cmon Jewels, this is like food porn. Just saying 😉

[@AllThingsIceland]

😂😂😂

[@TheEGA4421]

I choose them all because I have to taste the baked goods from each store to decide. 😂 🥯🥐🍩🍪🍰🍵☕
