General info: Hafnarhús Café opened in the spring of 2020 in the Hafnarhólmi marina by the puffin colony. The café is open from early April until the beginning of September and is located on the middle floor of the Hafnarhús building. The building in which Hafnarhús Café is located serves not only guests visiting Hafnarhólmi, but also for use by local fishermen. What we offer: In Hafnarhús Café we offer high-quality coffee, homemade cakes, cookies, soup, and sandwiches. Puffin colony in Hafnarhólmi: In Hafnarhólmi, the design is optimal for birdwatching. Guests can get very close to the puffins without disturbing them by using boardwalks, platforms, and a birdwatching house that allows guests to admire the puffin in their natural habitat. Art Exhibitions: On the top floor of Hafnarhús Café you will find art exhibits during the opening hours of the café, for guests to enjoy while visiting the marina. Architectural Awards: The Hafnarhús building was nominated for the European Mies van der Rohe awards. The architect behind the building is Andersen & Sigurdsson, located in Denmark. The construction took 3 years to be built and cost around 200 million Icelandic krona. In 2015 the municipality of Borgarfjörður held a design competition for the architectural work of the design for the building.
