Cafe Berlin — Restaurant in Akureyrarbær

I acutally don't know where to start and what to say.. If I could rate it 10 then I would probably rate it 12! 👌🏼 It's a great little caffe with extra delicious food, awesome coffee (Illy), very friendly staff, good prices and top of that - they open early (8:00 am) which is very rare to see in Iceland. The breakfast I had was amazing! Big portion and tasty as heck! 🤤 I got a lot of bacon, egg on top of chubby slice of bread with Smjör on side (Icelandic butter), big mushroom and few pieces of fruit (pineapple, melon, watermelon and orange); my fiancee got smoked salmon with avocado, tomatoes and rest of side stuff like me. Addition to that, we had coffee with fresh orange/apple juice. If you think this is everything - then you're wrong. 😊 Waitress is waiting for you to finish with the meal so she can bring you 2 caramel waffles. 🐷 This is quite a big breakfast/brunch meal. I've paid for my meal approx. 20€, which seems like a lot, but I think this is pretty normal for Iceland or even a bit cheaper then I used to pay/see; when you add on top of that the amount of food you get.. No words needed. Definitely a treat! This is a must stop place to eat...

Well, in May of 2021, I was suppossed to be in Berlin. But due to various border restrictions in play at the time I had opted to go to Iceland instead. So when I found a place called Cafe Berlin while in Akureyri during my Iceland road trip, I knew I had to go in.

Place was definitely busy, but somehow I lucked out and managed to snag a table with a minimal wait. I opted for a breakfast platter featuring smoked salmon, tomato, avocado, mushroom, fruit, cheese, and a very thick piece of toast. Included was an Orange Juice and coffee (which very importantly had free refills!). But the best part was the fact that after finishing my main plate, there was the waffle. Which was a fantastic way to top off my meal and keep me going until dinner that night.

It's a neat little place, and would certainly...

We were definitely not impressed. Obviously overrated by locals or friends on social media. Been there a few days ago (08/2021) for breakfast and as we entered we were immediately informed that the coffee machine was broken. I was like, what? You are in the center of Akureyri and your machine is broken?! Your machine must be the pulsing heart of any cafe worldwide. We were served instead filtered coffee. Lol. About food nothing exceptional again. Considering what they charge,( a lot) portions and taste are average. They even charged me 2euro for an additional slice of bread. Small lounge and poor lit with some bulbs not working. Good things was personnels generally cordial and they employ/train young people,...
