English term

COFFEE WITH A BUN

Non-PRO English to Icelandic Other
COFFEE WITH A BUN

I seem to remember reading that BOLLUKAFFI meant COFFEE WITH A BUN. Is this right? If so, what are the various ways in which one might express this idiomatically, pls?

Kaffi og brauð/Kaffi og bolla

BOLLUKAFFI could be used for this term but only on 1 day of the year, BOLLUDAGUR. On that day it is very popular to invite people to BOLLUKAFFI (Coffee with a bun). See the link for a description of that day.
On other days, I would use Kaffi og brauð/Kaffi og bolla.
