Best Café

Kaffi Krús

Austurvegur 7, Selfoss

A staple for the past 25 years, this is a super cosy place that’s a great stop for a nice meal after a long day on the road. Located in a beautifully maintained historic house, the décor mixes antique and modern elements seamlessly and with clean design. The nice little menu has a great selection of meals, while the in-house bakers make sure to have 16 incredible varieties of cake every day. They look as good as they taste and the service is absolutely lovely, too.
