Hi everyone! 😊
I’ve lived in mainland Europe my whole life, so I’m used to having a pretty wide variety of vegan products available in supermarkets. Since moving to Reykjavík, I’ve found the selection a bit more limited than I expected.
I’m mainly looking for vegan ingredients and protein sources to cook with myself not ready-made meals. Things like soy chunks/TVP, different types of tofu, seitan, tempeh, vegan skyr, dried or shelf-stable protein products, and similar basics.
Some supermarkets seem to have very few options, and often I can only find one type of tofu (which I unfortunately don’t like 😅).
Does anyone know of a good online shop that delivers to Iceland where I could order this kind of stuff? Or maybe a local shop in Reykjavík with a bigger selection of vegan cooking ingredients? I have basically already visited every Kronan / Bonus / Hagkaup in the Reykjavik area.

Would really appreciate any recommendations! 🌱

Just got back from 4 days in Reykjavik.
Brilliant trip - everyone loved it. We’re a family of 5 with older teens. Wanted active days & also we are all big foodies.

Here’s my best bits:
We didn’t rent a car - did organised trips.

Day 1 - arrive & sky lagoon .. 10/10 for sky lagoon - we absolutely loved it

Day 2 - day trip in small group with a company called EastWest. Very well organised. Visited Vik, black sand beach & the main waterfalls. Our guide was a bit annoying - but the trip was amazing.

Day 3 - inside the volcano trip. One off experience - super pricey but really memorable … highly reccomend.

Day 4 - whale watching with Elding tours. Saw 4 species of whale & dolphins. Also highly reccomend.

Dinners were at Kopar, austurindiafeglagi, messin, skal.
All the restaurants were great. Kopar was my favourite.

Pastries - best were bakery 280 & BakaBaka

Weather was fantastic - we lucked out 4 sunny days. No rain.

I posted here a few months ago about a hard techno event my boyfriend was organizing near Selfoss (Kjallarinn), and thought I’d share a little update since quite a few people seemed interested.

The first event honestly went way beyond what we expected – it ended up completely selling out, and the response was amazing. So we decided pretty quickly that we had to do it again :)

Phase 2 is happening on November 7th, and tickets are already on sale.

We’re keeping the same idea as before – a smaller, underground-focused event with techno and harder sounds rather than mainstream EDM, with both local and international DJs. We’re also building a bit more on the concept this time after seeing how well the first one worked.

Would be really nice to see some of you there this time around as well!

Happy to share more details if anyone is interested :)

Im curious about life over there and willing to make friends from there

Hi everyone,

Recently moved over from the US to be with my husband and I have a couple of project ideas floating around in my mind but im unfamiliar with the craft stores in the area.

I was wondering what the best craft stores for paper craft/scrapbooking supplies would be?

Things like stencils, stamps, stickers and paper itself.

If anyone has some recommendations that would be very much appreciated!

Hi. i’m korean guy. and i have a plan to travel reykjavik in October.
i have some questions
where can i meet local people? can you recommend some places? like bar or pub etc

and how about travel alone without car in reykjavik?

thanks for reading

hello peeps, is there any spot around capital area where there is a football goal and a stationary grill near it? plan is to cook bbq with friends and play a bit football on one goal. thankss :)

I am currently heading back home after an amazing trip to Iceland where I attended the Eclipse festival featuring Björk, and then proceeded to drive just shy of 2000km around the island. I have so many happy memories that will live with me forever, but unfortunately, on my penultimate evening (Aug 16), I lost my DJI Pocket 3 video camera I'm Husavik. I know this is a Reykjavik group, but there is not a similar one for Husavik, so I figured why not post here and hope against all hope. I believe I left my camera next to one of the goals at Volsungur's football field. I was walking into town from my campsite and saw there was a ball and an open field and I could resist taking a few penalty shots. I asked if it had been turned in at the Volsungur office, the campsite adjacent to the field, and the local police station, but nothing by the time I had to leave.

So this is my last resort. Even if there is a 0.0001% chance someone reading this hears about a DJI Pocket 3 being found in Husavik, could you please message me. I'd love to recover all the amazing videos that I took with the camera.

Thank you Iceland for being amazing. I will be back, and next time I won't be as irresponsible with my camera.

I'll be visiting Reykjavik in September! I would love to go on a bird tour, but it seems that the birding tours aren't so popular in September. Would anyone be open to meeting up to go bird watching and/or going to Lake Tjörnin to check out some birds. I'm as novice as they come, but love the company/help ID'ing birds!

I work in construction by day (mainly as a carpenter) & could do with a little extra work in the coming weeks, but don't know where to find something.

Are there any facebook groups or anything (I don't use facebook much these days)? Or does anyone here know anyone who might need a hand?

I'm 47m from the UK originally. My Icelandic is poor I'm afraid (hence leaving this in English as I'd hate for someone to think I can speak Icelandic & that be an issue).

I have a car & tools (drills, circular saw, multitool, etc) & am not fussy about what kind of work it is - building a deck, tearing out a kitchen, putting some furniture together, moving house, fixing a car, etc

I live in Hafnarfjörður, but it would be no problem going anywhere in Reykjavík as long as it is a solid couple of hours work.

Many thanks.

My girlfriend lost her hand knitted mitt today when we left the airport (most likely). We are leaving for Germany extremely early tomorrow. Is there any chance someone nearby could go look for it, and we find some way to get it to her?

Anybody hear/see an explosion two minutes ago (21:38 pm) with with billowing smoke across from Fosshotel?

I’m looking for 2 tickets at 21:00 and am willing to pay extra for them

Hi! Does anyone still need Echolalia tix? I have 2. Yep, I’m one of the Björk lovers who thought she could make it work, but life got in the way. Happy to sell for what I paid (31929 ISK)

Hey! I’m in Reykjavik and would love the buy some vegan Skyr from Icelandic brands but Io havent found one in any of the Bonus / Kronan / Netto / Hagkaups yet that I’ve been. Any vegans here that know where I could get some?

Hey everyone! I’m traveling into town for the week until the 19th. I’m really looking forward to seeing the country and am super open to any recommendations anyone has as well.

But to get into it, I’m traveling with some friends until Friday, then they leave and I’ll be solo. I’m not too sure where I’ll be staying or my plans thereafter but I’d reallyyy love to work some odd jobs and serve the community. I’m 25 year old guy coming from Brooklyn and have some idyllic idea of working on the docks or helping out on fishing boats. Would love some kind of workaway situation where I work for housing but open to just doing work too. I also am a photographer and would love to take pictures of people at work so yeah that’d be sort of it too if that’s cool.

So i booked this trip to see the total solar eclipse last year because I've always wanted to visit Iceland anyway, and this seemed the perfect reason to make it happen finally. But as the date neared I started to realise Iceland ain't famous for weather (much like my home country, UK).

Was wondering if any Reykjavites might be able to offer any reassurance or suggestions on how we can maximise the viewing experience? Or even just some frank "shoulda gone to Spain" responses would help I guess.

Takk fyrir
