About
Príkid stands proudly as Reykjavík’s oldest coffee house, having opened its doors in 1951. During the day it transforms into a cozy café offering coffee, breakfast, brunch, hearty burgers, and a selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Located on Bankastræti 12 in the heart of Reykjavík, Príkid boasts a retro interior accompanied by the ambient sounds of local musicians. The combination of historic ambience and vibrant nightlife makes it a must‑visit for both tourists and locals, a place where you can enjoy a great cup of coffee by day or an energetic music scene by night.
