Krúska restaurant

Brauðgerðarhús is a beloved local bakery and café in Akureyri known for its fresh bread, pastries, coffee, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It’s considered a bit of a hidden gem because it’s slightly off the main tourist paths, but locals and visitors alike praise its high-quality baked goods and cozy vibe. 

The bakery offers a diverse selection including sourdough loaves, flaky croissants, cinnamon buns, cookies, and other sweet treats, with many items also available in vegan varieties. Many customers enjoy pairing pastries with coffee or tea, and the café provides a comfortable spot to relax, work, or meet friends. 

Originally opened in 2021 in the Sunnuhlíð area, Brauðgerðarhús has expanded its presence with a new location in Akureyri’s downtown shopping street, bringing its well-liked bakery offerings closer to the heart of the town. 

The bakery is appreciated for its combination of traditional baking techniques, quality ingredients, and modern options (including plant-based pastries), making it a must-visit for locals and culinary travelers exploring Akureyri’s food scene.
