Kaffi Ilmur

Trip Stop: 
Narrative: 

Small cafe and restaurant in one of Akureyri’s oldest houses. Built in 1911, originally as a saddler’s shop, it later became a goldsmith’s, overlooking the fjord before the land was extended and more shops were built. In 2011, one hundred years after it was built, the original saddler’s granddaughter (one of the Ingmars) opened it as a cafe. In May 2022, the café was sold to new owners, but they have kept the decor and traditions the same.
