No one asks you to pay for the coffee here, free since opening day and poured for anyone digging through the shelves. Secondhand English novels sit next to new Icelandic releases, with a genealogy and local history section. Ask the staff, they know every shelf. Open weekdays 11am to 5pm, Saturdays 11am to 3pm.
