Discover more about Toldcaféen Gedser

Nestled in the mellow quietude of Gedser, Europe’s northernmost ferry port, Toldcaféen offers a taste of both regional tradition and the gentle rhythms of small-town Denmark. The café itself is housed within a historic building once connected to Gedser's customs authority—fitting, given its proximity to the port where travelers from Germany have arrived for over a century. Inside you'll find a blend of old-world simplicity and cozy Scandinavian design, with wooden tables, maritime memorabilia, and a sunlit terrace perfect for people-watching. Toldcaféen serves as a welcome retreat for those traveling through Gedser or exploring the wild coastline of Gedser Odde. Menus highlight local produce: think open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød), homemade cakes, and hearty Danish classics like backfisch and warm stews, all at wallet-friendly prices. The café’s selection of regional beers and coffees makes it an inviting midday stop. In summer, the terrace comes alive with conversation, as locals relax after market errands or ferry passengers sip coffee before continuing their journeys. Toldcaféen delights in its unpretentious vibe—staff are friendly and take genuine pride in serving both curious visitors and loyal regulars. It’s a living reminder of Gedser’s maritime lifeblood, where the North and Baltic seas meet, and stories of ships and customs flow as easily as the Danish hygge. For many, a visit here is about more than food; it’s about feeling the pulse of Denmark’s southern edge, sharing in the town’s rhythms, and savoring a slower, more communal pace than city life allows. Perfect for a leisurely break, a taste of Falster’s food culture, or simply absorbing small-town Denmark in an authentic setting.
