About Sandholt

Winner of “Best Bakery” 2026. If you think this category’s line-up never seems to change, don’t fault us for Sandholt being just that good. This family-run local institution introduced Icelanders to the joys of sourdough and laminated pastries made with real butter and real custard. Pop in here for a lush hot chocolate, a slice of vínarbrauð and perhaps a cheeky quiche as well.
