On my newfound quest to chart the many cafes in Reykjavik, I have the next in the series. Well, actually, this one was not found by me. I travelled this year (at least partly, since they did a stopover and I stayed on for 3 1/2 weeks more in Iceland) to Iceland with my mom and youngest brother. Because I need to show everyone how amazing it is here (I'm saying here because well, I'm onto my second trip this year, seventh trip in six years, and currently in my seventh week in Iceland ^^)! Anyways, one evening, the brother disappeared to explore the city on his own and came back a few hours later with a piece of cake from this cafe. Ah, it's good to know like-minded people! 

Eldur & Is is a bit of a joint venture: café, creperie, and ice cream shop. Taking that into account in addition to the fact that I now have the inside scoop on some cafés, I know this Daim cake (800kr) is not made in-store, especially when I once bought one from Ikea. ;) The ice cream isn't theirs and being on the main street, it's probably one of these *shudders* tourist places. (Sorry, bro) It looks a little too good, but well, I suppose it's fair to say it tasted quite good, but that might be because it's from Sweden. Good ingredients, natural taste: nutty and chocolatey with a toffee crunch.

I'd tell anyone to take the crepes if they decide to come here: at the very least, they *do* make those. :/ As mean and nitpicky as it sounds, I don't like the practice of buying cakes from supermarkets and selling them per slice, sorry; there are cafes who can manage to bake their own cakes and should be rewarded for the effort. If you don't know how to bake, hire me. I'll give you a four star rating with my skyr cheesecake and Westfjords blueberry torte. Oh yeah!! :)

Rating: *1/2
