ØbyUs Café & Shop, Permelille
A cozy Samsø farmhouse café and design shop where slow coffee, local flavors and Nordic interiors come together in the tiny village of Permelille.
Tucked into the tiny village of Permelille on Samsø, ØbyUs is a cozy hybrid of café, farm‑inspired brasserie and lifestyle shop. Set in a former farm property, it blends rustic island charm with clean Scandinavian design: think wooden tables, ceramics, textiles and shelves of local delicacies. Guests linger over carefully brewed coffee, light seasonal dishes and homemade cakes, often enjoyed in the leafy garden when weather allows. It is a family‑friendly, community‑minded spot that captures Samsø’s slow‑living, local‑produce ethos in one intimate address.

Discover more about ØbyUS
An island living room in the heart of Permelille
ØbyUs sits at the bend of a quiet village road, in buildings that look more like a traditional Samsø farmhouse than a conventional café. Step through the gate and you enter a space that feels like a shared living room for the island: whitewashed walls, wide plank floors and mismatched chairs gathered around sturdy wooden tables. Sunlight spills in through cottage windows, catching the soft tones of ceramics, woven baskets and linen textiles that line the room. The pace here is gently unhurried. Locals chat across tables, cyclists shrug off their helmets and solo guests settle in with a book. Even when it is busy, conversation remains low‑key and the atmosphere relaxed, as if everyone instinctively agrees that this is a place to slow down for a while rather than rush through.Café flavors shaped by Samsø’s fields
Food and drink at ØbyUs draw heavily on the agricultural landscape that surrounds Permelille. Samsø is known across Denmark for its vegetables, and the menu follows the rhythm of the island’s seasons. You might find open‑faced sandwiches piled with local greens, simple warm dishes built around what is fresh from nearby farms, and homemade cakes that change with the time of year. Coffee is treated with quiet seriousness: beans are carefully sourced, prepared with attention, and served in sturdy cups that invite you to wrap your hands around them on cooler days. Non‑coffee drinkers are not forgotten, with teas, juices and other soft drinks that suit both adults and children. There is space to linger over a second cup, to watch clouds drift past the windows or to plan the next stop on your island wanderings.A shop that celebrates crafted and local finds
Beyond the counter, ØbyUs doubles as a small design and delicacy shop. Shelves display a thoughtful mix of items: hand‑thrown pottery, glassware, candles, textiles and carefully chosen everyday objects, many with a distinctly Nordic aesthetic. The color palette is soft and natural, leaning towards muted earth tones and simple shapes. Alongside design pieces you will often find local treats and pantry staples, from preserves and sweets to small‑batch products that tell the story of Samsø’s producers. It is a rewarding place to pick up a gift or a practical souvenir that you can continue using at home, rather than something destined to disappear in a drawer.Garden corners and village atmosphere
When weather allows, life at ØbyUs spills outdoors into the garden and courtyard. Tables sit on gravel and grass, framed by hedges and old farm buildings, with the occasional cluck of distant hens or the rustle of the wind in nearby fields. Children have space to move a little, while adults can stretch their legs and enjoy the open air without leaving the comfort of the café. The surrounding village adds to the sense of stepping into a slower rhythm. Permelille is small, and the sounds you notice most are bicycles passing by, snippets of conversation in Danish and perhaps the distant hum of farm machinery. After a circuit of the island’s beaches and viewpoints, ØbyUs offers a contrasting, more intimate taste of Samsø’s everyday life.A flexible stop on any Samsø itinerary
ØbyUs opens mainly from late morning into the afternoon on selected days, making it an ideal stop for brunch‑style meals, coffee breaks or a light late lunch. The layout works equally well for couples seeking a quiet table, families needing a forgiving space for children, and solo travelers who appreciate having a calm corner and reliable refreshments. Because the site combines café, shop and a small guesthouse nearby, it can easily anchor a half‑day in this part of the island: a leisurely meal, a browse through the shelves, and a short stroll through the village lanes and surrounding countryside. It is not a grand attraction, but a carefully curated pocket of island life that leaves you with the feeling that you have been briefly welcomed into Samsø’s community.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
