Spend an afternoon at Kaffi kú

The coffeehouse near Akureyri is a fun outing for families and tourists.
Kaffi kú is one of the most unique and enjoyable coffeehouse experiences you can have in Iceland. The coffeehouse, which is located just 10km south of Akureyri, is situated on the top floor of cowshed.

There are two seating areas–one is located in the front hall with seats for 30 people, and a small play area for children. The other area is overlooking the cowshed, separated by glass, with seats for 30 people.

Delicious Snacks
Kaffi kú was founded in 2011 by locals Einar Örn and Sesselja Ingibjörg Barðdal Reynisdóttir and is enjoyed by Icelanders and tourists alike. On the menu are Belgian and Icelandic waffles, pancakes, tasty baked pastries, milkshakes, and homemade soup with freshly baked bread. All the milk used in drinks and food comes directly from the 120 cows onsite.

Kaffi kú ‘s operations are based in the largest and most technologically advanced barn in Iceland. In addition to seeing the animals, guests can also monitor all the devices that are used in the cowshed, where automated machines do all the hard work. It’s a fascinating process and it’s interesting to get a behind-the-scenes view.
