Mormors Kræmmerhus is a charming ice-cream parlour and gift shop on Havnebakken in Vesterø Havn on the island of Læsø.

- Expect seasonal opening: the shop typically operates from spring through late summer and remains closed in the off-season, so plan visits for the warmer months.
- Bring cash or a widely accepted card, as small island businesses sometimes have limited payment options or occasional connection issues during busy periods.
- Combine your stop with a swim at the nearby beach and a stroll around the harbour; the ice cream is easy to take along as you explore the waterfront.

Seaside Sweet Spot in Vesterø Havn
Mormors Kræmmerhus sits just above the harbourfront of Vesterø Havn on Læsø, perfectly placed between the ferry pier, marina and the wide child‑friendly beach. The cafe occupies a low-key seaside house on Havnebakken, with views down towards bobbing boats and the long curve of sand that defines this corner of the island. In summer it feels like the natural meeting point as people drift up from the water, still in swimwear and flip‑flops, in search of something cold and sweet. The atmosphere is deliberately unpretentious. Wooden counters, simple display cases and handwritten boards keep the focus on what you are really here for: generous ice creams served in classic cones – the "kræmmerhus" of the name – along with a few nostalgic sweets and treats. It is the kind of place where you eat outside, leaning on a railing or sitting on a bench, with a sea breeze cutting through the sugar.Ice Cream, Cones and Old-Fashioned Indulgence
The heart of Mormors Kræmmerhus is its selection of ice creams and soft ice, a staple of Danish seaside summers. Expect tall swirls of vanilla and chocolate soft ice dipped in sprinkles, scoops of classic flavours in waffle cones, and simple sundaes that are easy to carry back towards the quay. Portions tend to be on the generous side, matching the relaxed holiday mood of Læsø. Alongside the ice cream counter you will usually find a small assortment of sweets, chocolates and packaged treats that echo a traditional Danish "kiosk". Children gravitate to jars of candy and colourful toppings, while adults linger over coffee, a cold drink or a quick snack between ferry connections. Everything is geared towards fast, informal indulgence rather than lingering fine dining.Harbour Views and Island Holiday Rhythm
What makes Mormors Kræmmerhus stand out is its setting within the small but busy world of Vesterø Havn. Just below, fishing boats and leisure craft line the quays, and the Læsø ferry glides in and out several times a day. On sunny days the light bounces off the water, and the soundscape mixes clinking rigging, seagulls and the murmur of people on holiday. Many visitors weave a stop here into a wider day around the harbour: a swim at the beach, a stroll past the red fishermen’s sheds, perhaps a seafood lunch at one of the nearby eateries, then an ice cream as the afternoon sun softens. In high summer, market stalls sometimes appear in the area around the shop, adding to the sense of a small seaside fairground.Gift Shop Treasures and Local Souvenirs
Beyond ice cream, Mormors Kræmmerhus also functions as a modest gift shop, reflecting the "kræmmer" tradition of small-scale traders selling an eclectic mix of goods. Inside you can browse shelves of maritime trinkets, island‑themed souvenirs and simple homeware that fits the coastal setting. Items might range from postcards and magnets to textiles, candles or decorative pieces that echo Læsø’s beaches and fishing culture. The selection is curated with holidaymakers in mind: light objects that are easy to pack or bring back to a boat, and mementos that quietly reference the island without feeling mass‑produced. It is an easy place to pick up a small thank‑you gift for a host family or a token from your time on Læsø.Seasonal Stop on a Quiet Danish Island
Like much of Læsø’s tourism scene, Mormors Kræmmerhus operates seasonally, typically opening in spring and staying active through the main summer months before closing again when the island quietens. That rhythm reinforces its identity as a quintessential summer spot: you come here with bare feet, sunscreen on your shoulders and sand still clinging to your legs. The wider surroundings offer plenty to fold into a visit. Vesterø Havn has restaurants, a grocery store and easy access to walking paths along the coast. The marina’s facilities and the nearby beach make the area especially appealing to families, and Mormors Kræmmerhus slots into that picture as the place for a final treat before you wander back to your accommodation or board the ferry off the island.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
