This tiny little coffee place by the harbor is a little secret for the locals. It offers good fresh ground coffee - to go or for sitting down outside on a sunny day. The owner is a coffee enthusiast and puts an effort into making it.
Grandi area is the new hip area in Reykjavik. Lots of little shops nearby and the busy harbor attracts. Grabbing a coffee-to-go from Cafe Retro and enjoying the walk is a perfect mixture. They do have a little patio, but only recommended for the few sunny days - as the inside interior isn't very appealing.
You can get some good lunch there as well.
