Espresso arrives in Reykjavík, 1958

icelandwantstobeyourfriend:

My people like to drink coffee.

From icelandphotoarchive, who said

The first espresso bar opened in Reykjavík on 9 January 1958. From a newspaper that day: “The coffee there is made with an Italian method using steam pressure and is supposed to be very strong and uplifting.”
