Great spot for a break while visiting Godafoss waterfall area. Decent side seating and well maintained bathrooms. Average food option and a nice shopping area. Free wifi was a plus.
Small café located right next to the waterfalls. Very expensive, they also charge to use the restrooms which was too bad. Good little place to stop however.
Cafe is very conveniently located to the world famous falls, with easy access to all both sides. Great selection of items to choose from and the staff could not have been more helpful. Couldn't find any public WiFi but the restrooms were plentiful and well maintained. I highly recommend the lamb stew, A great way to warm up after the trip around the falls.
Stopped in for a hot chocolate after seeing the waterfalls. Then sat at our table and continued seeing the falls. Nice gift shop too
Toilets are too expensive 200 ISK. The rest is fine
