Kaffi Sól — Restaurant in undefined

AN ABSOLUTE MUST if you are in the West Fjords. Great stop for a quick break in between Dynjandi and Isafjordur. We went in October 2024, after Dynjandi & can't wait to one day come back. Get their homemade pastries and soup. The host/owner is an absolute gem, and she made us feel so welcomed.

We had just gotten engaged at Dynjandi, and we ordered the Wedding Cake, some coffee, and another dish. Everything was great.

Small shop with about 5-6 tables and some more outdoor seating (for when it's warmer). She shared with us that during that time of year, this area is one of the only Fjords you can see sunset. Only open during the spring-fall season (for obvious weather reason), I believe.

One of our favorite memories of our Iceland trip! She asked where we were from and my fiance is from Peru, which she said is her first visitor from Peru! A lovely family run...

I was recently participating in the Arna Westfjords Way Challenge and Kaffi Sól was the final cultural connection point before the last major pass. I missed the time slot and had been riding for 24 hours. When the owners of Kaffi Sól heard that I was still out there riding, they got in their car to find me. They stopped me and introduced themselves. It was midnight. Then, they insisted on giving me hot coffee and cocoa and homemade pastries to help me finish the race. This kind gesture is so emblematic of the hospitality and genuine kindness of the Icelandic people... especially in the Westfjords. I will never forget this act of kindness to a complete stranger. It literally brought tears to my eyes and helped motivate me to finish the race. Thank you! I will never forget this. You can see from my pictures that the location of Kaffi Sól is breathtaking....

I don’t normally write reviews, but this experience was too perfect not to! On a beautiful and warm day sitting by the patio I was welcomed warmly and met with a such care! Being from Seattle and born and raised in Seattle, I was surprised with a tailored Boston mug which was incredibly charming and heartwarming! The coffee was wonderful and the smoked lumpfish over rye had an incredible sweet and salty balance that made me rush to the next bite. I think it’s safe to say that this was my most memorable afternoon coffee and one pf the most memorable parts of my trip around the Westfjords! Thank you! I hope to...
