The Coffeehouse Experiment: Day 5

Well a pure coffee experience yesterday when I went to Te og Kaffi on Laugarvegur. For the first time in these past five days I finally got a decent cup of espresso-based coffee. The best, even better than the other gourmé coffee house in Reykjavik "Kaffitar" (which I think has lowered it's standards considerably for the past year or so...) Got a great cup of Cappucino for only 290 and believe you me it was tasty, wheres the same cup costs 350 at Kaffitar.

Also there was a nice ambiance in this small café, quiet music so you could actually have a conversation with your friend without screaming your lungs out just to be heard over the washout pop-whore cd-track currently playing. Nice lighting and friendly staff (which is so rare to encounter in Iceland.. getting good service here is almost impossible). It was so nice that we stayed for some time, bought something to eat and drink and ended up spending much more than I had originally planned... but I'm rather willing to spend more where it's nice and cosy though it's a bit more expensive.

Well only two days left of this experiment, which is going rather well I have to say. Alot of people have taken time to participate and meet with me at some of these places.

Tonight we'd better have this more intellectual and sophisticated so I'm thinging about going to the little coffee-house Súfistinn which is on the second floor of the bookstore Mál og Menning on Laugarvegur. Grab a hot cup of coffee and a good book and let's talk literature :D

Súfistinn at 19:00 tonight
