Den Gamle Købmandsgård, Rømø
Characterful island supermarket and garden minigolf spot on Rømø, combining fresh bakery goods, ice cream and everyday essentials with relaxed holiday charm.
Den Gamle Købmandsgård in Havneby on Rømø is far more than a practical local supermarket. Housed by old farm buildings near the harbor, it combines a well‑stocked grocery store with an in‑house bakery, ice cream café, and a leafy garden featuring a family‑friendly minigolf course. Open year‑round from early morning to early evening, it serves as both a community hub and a relaxed stop for holidaymakers stocking up on fresh produce, bread, and treats between beach walks and Wadden Sea excursions.

Local tips
- Come early in the morning if you want the widest choice from the in-house bakery; popular breads and pastries can sell out on busy summer days.
- Plan a relaxed break by combining a grocery stop with a round of minigolf and an ice cream in the garden instead of treating it as a quick supermarket visit.
- In the shoulder seasons, check locally which activities are running, as the minigolf and ice café typically operate from spring to late autumn.
- If you are self-catering on Rømø, use this as your main provisions stop for fresh bread, produce, meat and fish to avoid extra trips off the island.

Discover more about Den Gamle Købmandsgård
A historic trading yard turned holiday hub
Den Gamle Købmandsgård sits on Havnebyvej as a modern echo of the old village merchant’s yard, blending traditional farm buildings with the role of today’s local supermarket. Its low, rural-style structures and courtyard feel give it more character than a standard grocery chain, making it a natural pause point on the way to or from Rømø’s harbor and beaches. The location is practical yet atmospheric, firmly rooted in the daily rhythm of island life. Step inside and you find shelves geared to both residents and visitors: everyday essentials, regional specialties, picnic supplies, and everything needed for a self-catering cottage stay. The sense of being in a working, local place rather than a purely touristic venue gives the shop a grounded, authentic atmosphere that fits Rømø’s understated charm.Fresh bread, local flavors and easy treats
One of the key draws is the in-house bakery, turning out morning bread, pastries and cakes that quickly become part of a holiday routine. The aroma of freshly baked loaves and sweet pastries drifts through the store in the early hours, tempting beachgoers to stock up before setting out for the wide sands of Lakolk or a day exploring the Wadden Sea landscape. Beyond bread, the supermarket carries meat, fish, fresh vegetables and chilled goods suitable for grilling, cooking or assembling quick meals in a holiday home. There is also a strong focus on easy snacks and treats: ice cream to enjoy on a sunny afternoon, sausages for a casual bite, and simple café-style options like coffee and hot dogs, ideal for refuelling between activities.Garden minigolf and relaxed outdoor space
What makes Den Gamle Købmandsgård stand out is the garden tucked beside the buildings, where a minigolf course winds through lawns and simple landscaping. It offers light-hearted fun suitable for children and adults, an easy-going contrast to the island’s wide-open beaches and windswept dunes. The holes are playful rather than extreme, making this an accessible diversion on a breezy day. The garden areas also provide space to sit, chat and enjoy the island air without needing to venture far. On warm days, families spread out between minigolf rounds, while others simply sit with an ice cream or cold drink. The space underscores the site’s dual nature: useful for shopping, yet clearly designed for lingering.Ice cream café and seasonal island atmosphere
The ice café adds another layer to the experience. Here you can choose from scoops and soft ice, pair them with coffee or cake, or opt for a cold draft beer in informal surroundings. It is the kind of place where sandy feet and windblown hair feel entirely normal, reflecting Rømø’s relaxed, seaside character. The café and minigolf generally follow a seasonal rhythm, operating from spring through late autumn when the island is at its liveliest. In high summer, the outdoor spaces feel especially vibrant, with the low hum of conversation, clinking golf balls and the sound of the breeze moving across the flat island landscape all blending together.Everyday convenience on an island of nature
While Rømø is celebrated for its vast beaches and the surrounding Wadden Sea National Park, Den Gamle Købmandsgård supplies the practical backbone that makes longer stays easy. Stocking up here helps anchor a day of nature-focused exploration, whether you are heading out to fly kites on the sand, cycle along dikes, or watch the tidal flats change with the light. Open daily throughout the year, the supermarket side remains a reliable constant even outside the main holiday months. For those staying in nearby cottages or harbour accommodations, it quickly becomes a familiar waypoint: a source of fresh bread in the morning, last-minute dinner ingredients in the afternoon, and perhaps a final ice cream in the early evening before retreating to a quiet Rømø night.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
