I visited Iceland's only Costco store in Garðabær, about 6 miles south of Reykjavík.
The food court was smaller than those I've seen at Costco stores on the East Coast.

With 854 warehouse locations worldwide, Costco opened its first store in Iceland in 2017.

I visited the popular chain on a recent trip to Iceland and checked out its famous food court.

I found that the Icelandic Costco's food court offered fewer options than I've seen at Costco stores on the East Coast of the US, but its menu contained many of the same items.

Take a look inside Iceland's Costco food court.

Iceland's first and only Costco store is located in Garðabær.

I visited Costco in the early afternoon, when the food court appeared to be a popular lunch spot with a long line.

The food court offered many of the same items that I've seen at US Costco stores such as coffee, burgers, gelato, and chicken bakes, but offered fewer items than I anticipated.

Pizza cost 600 ISK ($4.44) per slice and 2,200 ISK ($16.27) for a whole take-home pie, while hot dogs, a popular street food in Iceland, cost 299 ISK ($2.20).

There were also two soda fountains with Pepsi, 7-Up, and an orange-flavored Icelandic soda called Egils Appelsin.

Located near the checkout lines, a small seating area allowed Costco customers to sit and enjoy their purchases.
