MAIKA'I

About MAIKA'I

In Kópavogur, directly south of Reykjavík, MAIKA'I is a café with a healthy slant and afternoon tea on the menu of options. The style is trendy, the prices are budget-friendly, and it runs from more than one location — a combination that suits travellers staying in the capital area but outside downtown.

Between a morning at a swimming pool and an afternoon of shopping, this gives capital-area visitors a daytime pause without a drive into the centre. Afternoon tea marks it out as somewhere to sit for a while rather than grab and go, and step-free access makes it straightforward for anyone using a wheelchair or pram.
