Welcome to Heimabyggð, a charming café nestled in the heart of Ísafjörður at Aðalstræti 22b. This delightful spot serves as a haven for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike, blending quality and care into every cup and bite. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a cozy catch-up with friends or a quiet moment with a good book.

Heimabyggð prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients to create a menu that tantalizes the taste buds. While their coffee is undoubtedly the star of the show, with rich, aromatic brews crafted to perfection, the selection of sandwiches and pastries is equally noteworthy. Customers rave about the freshly baked bread, delightfully crisp outside with a soft, chewy inside – a combination that elevates any filling. The café also caters to diverse dietary needs, offering a dedicated gluten-free bun, a feature that patrons like Yuval Navot have deeply appreciated for the staff's attentiveness and care. You can feel reassured here; they are genuinely committed to making your dining experience enjoyable, offering alternatives when needed and ensuring no detail is overlooked.

While enjoying a delicious latte or an invigorating espresso, consider pairing your drink with one of their famous sandwiches. Though some reviewers, such as Alex, note their modest size, the taste more than compensates, making a second sandwich a worthwhile addition for those with a hearty appetite. And don’t leave without trying the vegan muffin, which Kat Klein describes as a “best decision” during her visit—the perfect grab-and-go treat for anyone looking to savor a moment amidst their adventures.

Knowing that great coffee is often accompanied by great conversation, visitors like Taylor Gardner have found the staff to be just as warm as the drinks they serve. With friendly faces eager to chat and share recommendations, you’ll find yourself feeling right at home. Here, each coffee break transforms into a memorable interlude on your journey through Iceland’s stunning landscapes.

The cozy ambiance, combined with the tantalizing food and beverage offerings, makes Heimabyggð a must-visit during your stay in Ísafjörður. Whether you're looking for a quick caffeine fix, a leisurely afternoon, or a place to relax after exploring the breathtaking fjords, this café stands ready to serve you with a smile. Treat yourself to a culinary experience that showcases the warmth and flavor of Iceland, all while supporting a local business that truly cares.

Great coffee, and nice sandwiches, although not cheap, it is well worth it. Sandwiches are not huge, so if you are hungry, it is worth ordering two per person.

Very kind and attentive staff, especially towards celiac needs. They explained clearly about the gluten-free bun and even noticed cross-contamination with avocado, immediately suggesting a safe alternative. Such patience and care are rare. We were four people, enjoyed our meals, and the coffee was excellent.

We love getting local coffee as often as possible. We really enjoyed this small shop for a mid-afternoon pick me up! A latte, an espresso, and one of the available pear toasts was perfect as we were getting into town but wanting to go walking around. The drinks were hot and I particularly enjoyed my latte - a light dose of vanilla made it perfect. & The woman at the front was great to chat with too! Good stop if you’re in town.

Saw the reviews about the vegan muffin and decided to grab one to go. Best decision! Cannot speak about the other food or drink, but I’m sure they’re just as delicious as the muffin was. Place looks cute and staff is friendly. Fair prices.

Real good coffee, real chocolate bits hot chocolate, sour dough bread that is rich in density and flavour. Service is really good. Cozy atmosphere. Enjoyed it here twice.

Easily the best Swiss mocha we have had in our life. It is made with real melting chocolate, not a powder. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We also tried the Icelandic marriage cake and it was delicious. I would be a regular at this cafe if we lived here.

Tucked away in the quiet charm of Ísafjörður, this cozy café is a perfect retreat on a misty Westfjords morning. The lattes are absolute perfection—creamy, rich, and served with delicate heart-shaped milk art that shows the care in every cup. The space invites you to linger, with soft seating, shelves of Icelandic books to browse, and artwork by local artists adorning the walls—each piece adding character and a sense of place. Whether you’re warming up after a hike or simply enjoying a slow afternoon, this café offers comfort, creativity, and a delicious dose of Icelandic hospitality. A must-stop for coffee lovers passing through Ísafjörður
