An excellent cafe with a beautiful design in Scandinavian style, where you can not only drink coffee and eat dessert, but also order signature soup. There is also a small shop where you can buy souvenirs and local products. It's good to come here before going up to the hot spring.

Lovely cafe, although pricey even for Icelandic standards. Stunning views. Even though the parking lot and hiking area were full of people, the cafe was not too bus. Great coffee.

Set in the beautiful countryside, enjoy at the beginning or end of your hike. Super friendly service, top up your water bottles here before you go / come back. Very modern, super comfy. Great Sortiment of tasty looking cakes. Places to sit in the sun outside. Absolutely delicious coffee: no offense Iceland, but in general coffee isn’t your specialty, but here it was super! A little pricey shop on the inside but high quality products! Free toilets. Loved it.

After hiking the trail to the hot river we came in to get warm drinks and couple slices of cake to warm ourselves. The view is lovely, the coffee and cake were great.

A cozy cafe with a stunning view. You could absolutely stay here all day sipping coffee (or hot chocolate) and taking in the views. They also have some clothing items for sale, and the ability to reserve the space for private events.

This is one of the best decorated places around Iceland. It was great to stop here after a long hike and sitting in the hot springs. We got a couple of drinks and just relaxed on the comfy couch by the fireplace. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Just make sure you don't forget to pay for parking.

We stopped at the Reykjadalur Café on. a rainy day near the end of June. We'd planned to high up the valley but it was raw and cold, so we popped into the cafe for a hot drink. It was bustling with visitors, especially the brave ones who endured the weather to make the hike regardless of the rain! The service was very nice, the atmosphere was nice and a little bit electric. People were excited to either get onto the hike or to have just finished. We LOVED the view and enjoyed our coffees. It was a short visit but well worth the drive, even though we didn't hike up the valley!
