After becoming enamored with Italian café culture founders Guðný Guðjónsdóttir og Guðmundur Baldvinsson founded Mokka in 1958. With it’s founding it became the first café in Iceland to introduce the new Italian coffee-making, where each cup is prepared separately with the use of an espresso machine (and not for example in a _Moka Express _ coffe-pot)

Though I do not know whether the café uses Mocha Arabica beans, I do know that it makes both the best chocolate and Swiss Mocha in town and some really excellent waffles!

It also has exhibitions on it’s walls and a cozy though sometimes crowded atmosphere. In summer a table or two will also be set out onto the street.

^{Súfistinn and Kaffitár chocolate and mocha preparations usually match the high standard set by Mokka. Others are usually not comparable.}
