Very cosy cafe just at the port, near the ferry terminal. We really liked the coffee and cakes - homemade banana bread and pecan pie. When visiting do not park at the paid parking lot in port, use parking across the street from the cafe or further into the town, it’s free.

Cozy place by the harbour for coffee and snacks. It's adjacent and part of the harbour hostel. The interior is certainly retro. But I kinda dig it. It gave the place a kind of warmth that you wouldn't find in a modern, minimalist coffee shop. Kind of felt like I was going around to grandma's for tea. While it's 5 stars for ambience, I think the food is overpriced, but what thing in Iceland isn't? I got a small capucinno and a quiche for 2100 kr-about 22 CAD. Bottomline - go here if you want to take refuge in a cozy place from the sometimes harsh Icelandic weather. You may not want to leave :)
