Gilbakki

This was our favorite cafe of our whole trip in Iceland. We got caught in a snowstorm and couldn't drive around the peninsula, so we stopped there to get lunch and coffee. It is so pretty inside. The atmosphere was great. It was full of local people and everyone seemed to have a great time. The ladies working there were so friendly. The owner came to our table to have a chat (she actually took the time to have a chat with every table!). She was so nice. To top it all up, the food was great. The meatballs are some of the best we've ever had. We wanted to go back the next day, but they were closing for a few months for winter. Stop there with no hesitation if you get the chance when they re-open in the summer!

Delicious coffee! Amazing pastries. Warm hospitality. Cute decor. Voted best cafe house on the West Island in 2019. Nice views outside. Friendly service. Enjoyed my latte and carrot cake—not overly sweet. Can taste the high quality ingredients. Well done! Highly recommend.

Great coffee. Wonderful atmosphere. Even better desserts. Exactly the right place to get fortified for extraordinary lanscapes nearby. I love that they told the group of 15 to "go to the gas station." They obviously know what kind of a cozy place they have and want to preserve it from crowds. Is this the perfect coffee shop, not just for Iceland, but for the entire planet Earth? Perhaps.

This cafe is wonderful! The food and coffee is delicious. THE CAKES…so amazing. My family liked this place so much, we made a point to eat here twice during our 4 day stay in the peninsula. The fish soup is a perfect dish to warm you up after trekking around in the rain and wind. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the perfect place to enjoy scrumptious food and rest your legs.

Cute cafe near the murals in Hellissandur. Loved the walnut cake and coffee here. Nice atmosphere and spot to relax before a long drive back to hotel on the other side of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

What a wonderful place. It was a cute, warmly decorated and, most importantly I had my best cup of coffee here since being in Iceland. And great homemade pastries. The carrot cake was supreme!!!! Great place. A “must stop” place!!

This is a neat little coffeehouse in Hellissandur that we very much enjoyed visiting during our recent drive around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. They have a small and quaint indoor seating area which became full up shortly after opening on the morning of our visit. Opening hours are 11am to 5pm, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (summer hours). Menu is simple and straightforward with a handful of savoury food items and desserts to go along with their coffee, tea, beer and wine drinks. Service is very friendly and as timely as can be expected. Environs are charming. Prices reasonable for what is served. During our visit, we tried their bagel with date pesto, a creative topping that dated very nice. Macchiato and Americano were both just fine as well. Overall, really enjoyed our little visit to Gilbakki Kaffihus and would gladly return to pay visit again if possible in the future.

Wonderful place, lovely people, good cakes and tasty gebeta! Also great spot near the art paintings. I came with a group of 10 and we got fast and smiley service
