If you see people queuing in front of an ice cream shop, it is usually this ice cream shop. Ísbúð Vesturbæjar, or locally known as Vesturbæjarís, has been the most popular place to go out for an ice cream for years now in Reykjavík. It has two different types of ice creams; milk base (old-fashioned) or cream based. It became famous for its' old fashioned ice cream, using milk instead of cream and now you can have the milk ice cream with strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors. Icelanders go crazy for ice cream and usually when they want to treat themselves they get "Bragðarefur", which is where you pick what kind of soft ice cream you would like and then x3 ingredients to put in, usually candy and/or fruit. Then it's all mixed together into a candy ice cream goodness that will blow your mind! You can get "bragðarefur" in most ice cream stores but the one in Vesturbæjarís is amazing, because of the milk ice cream. I recommend getting; strawberry ice cream with daim, strawberries and a mars bar! Yum!
