The Coffee-chase!

Last Friday morning was rather unusual for me, I found myself roaming around Kringlan, Iceland’s first shopping mall, and actually purchasing a couple of items. Kringlan is an excellent place to do your shopping when visiting Iceland during winter or on a rainy day. On this particular occasion though, my initial plan, to which I stuck eventually, was to hang out at my favourite cafe, Kaffi Roma.
Ever since my Paris years coffee has not been just coffee. A good cup of coffee is made with passion by baristas who themselves (with few exceptions) are quite particular about what makes for good coffee. I always order the same single-shot latte with extra milk; to me consistency in quality is the exception with most cafes, but Kaffi Roma always gets it right!
Kaffi Roma is located on the second floor of Kringlan; its location is not the quietest but to me that’s not an issue. A second branch is supposedly located on Laugavegur 118 in the centre of Reykjavík (although I am convinced the actual location is Rauðárstígur, across the street from the Kaupthing ATM). I would most definitely recommend with Kaffi Roma if you are as particular (and passionate) as I myself am where it comes to good coffee. Not to mention that occasionally I even get a chance to refresh my Spanish a bit as the cafe in Kringlan is run, or at least managed, by a native Spanish-speaker!
What I would appreciate is if those of you who read this blog take a minute and let us know what your favourite cafe is where you live, and where it is located. I for one would find that very useful!
