Amsterdam is renowned for its “coffee shops.” Here are seven of the best.
I’ve zoned out and my fellow “researchers” are waving away the final joint. They can’t handle anymore either. There are only so many joints you can smoke in a day.
I take out my notepad and we try to convey how we feel about this place. After a few long pauses, we give up, order a drink, and begin to roll another joint. I guess you can never smoke too many.
Matador sent me on assignment in Amsterdam (no expenses paid) to find the best coffee shops in the city. This marked my fourth trip to the city and I was only happy to oblige.
If you are looking for the best of the best, follow your nose to these places for the highest times in Amsterdam.
Author’s Note: Amsterdam recently banned smoking tobacco indoors. This has hurt many of the coffee shops since people in Europe smoke marijuana with tobacco.
A few coffee shops have set up separate areas where people are allowed to smoke inside. A few turn a blind eye to the ban. Most tell you to go outside and offer a herbal tobacco substitute. Ask before you light up.
Trinity
This coffee shop is out of the city center, making it a “locals only” spot. (I found it with the help of a local.) There’s a big bar with a great selection, much, much cheaper than the center. There’s also a few pool tables, a big screen TV, and a separate smoking room.
The staff is really friendly and the locals are intrigued as to how you found this place. The smoking ban hit this place hard so it’s not as packed as it used to be but it’s more relaxed than other places.

De Rokerij
This café is located on the way to Leidsplein and has a mystical ambiance, one long room with dark lights and darker walls with tribal designs for you to stare at all day.
The weed here is good but the place is better known for its atmosphere. You aren’t allowed to smoke tobacco and they offer an herbal substitute. The drinks here are also reasonably priced considering its location.
The Greenhouse
This coffee shop has three locations, the flagship located in the Red Light district. It’s one of the most famous in Amsterdam and the walls are adorned with photos of celebrities to prove it. Their weed constantly wins the Cannabis Cup (try the haze).
Cheap drinks help cushion the blow to your wallet. You can’t smoke inside but there are outdoor tables or you can use the free tobacco substitute they provide. The music is eclectic (I heard Pink Floyd and Snoop Dog in the same sitting) and the décor dark and relaxing. They even have a few coves in the wall to relax in.

The Grasshopper
Located in between Damrak and the Red Light district, this coffeeshop wears multiple hats- it’s a bar, restaurant, and coffee shop. Head downstairs for the coffee shop.
They’ve created a separate smoking area down here so you can light up anything smokable. Tables are lined together in close quarters, making it easy to meet people. TVs run in the background and music plays over the speakers. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the weed is reasonably priced.
Hunter’s Café
Hunter’s has been one of my favorites since I started coming to Amsterdam.
Located right at the beginning of the Red Light district, this place is a little touristy, however, the black decor gives a nice lounge feel and there are ample chairs and couches to relax on.
Staff is really friendly and the prices are somewhat cheaper than other shops in the area. They make great shakes, too. There’s no tobacco allowed here, but you can use the substitute they offer. Just head up Warmastraat and look for the giant peeing dog.
Dolphins
Located right off Leidstraat near Liesplein, this coffee shop follows the ocean theme all the way. The walls are painted blue with various sea life images and “coral” is replicated to give this place a true underwater feeling.
Upstairs has the bar and a few tables. You can’t smoke tobacco up there, but head downstairs where the big comfy couches and TV welcome you with open arms. They also offer free wi-fi.
DampKring
This coffee shop was made famous by the movie “Ocean’s 12″ and has since seen a steady stream of people trying to pretend they’re Brad Pitt or George Clooney.
The shop has a wide open interior with orange painted walls. The various shades of orange are in different shapes to provide for the ultimate psychedelic experience.
Good drinks and good weed are served here at standard prices. The tables have patterns carved into them. They turn a blind eye to smoking inside-if they don’t see it, it’s not there. A lazy cat sits in the window all day to greet you as you come in.

No matter where you go, remember that these coffee shops all share similar characteristics. They have atmosphere, a friendly staff, couches, good drinks, and friendly stoners. Look for that and you’ll find the best coffee shop in Amsterdam.

I was there two years ago, and after about 5 visits, FINALLY got to cozy up at the window on one of those awesome little hobbit benches ;0) I took a picture from my seat, and labeled it "The Best Seat in Amsterdam". I agree, this was my fave. The name is Kadinski I think… I also liked La Tortulia- a little pricey, but they have outdoor tables overlooking the canal, and open at like 9 in the morning….perfect for an illy and a smoke…. Will definitely be headed back during my trip this April ;0)
↵ -
http://www.channels.nl/amsterdam/kadinsky.html If this is where you were thinking about, I was there in 2001. I loved it. Helped them get their iMac back up and working on the Net while my wife and I were partaking. Awesome music. Neat little place. Great service. Very comfortable. I hope I get to go back one day. And I wish there was a better website for this gem: http://www.puccinibomboni.com/hoe.html OMG, between Kadinsky's, the museums, the food (I miss the European yogurt and cheese), the people, the flea market, walking here and there, and ending up at Puccini's… It was perfect. One day, I'll order some chocolates from them and have them delivered to the states… I think about them at least once a month- even still.

lmao. i like amsterdammers style
↵ -
Dan I support you big time, everytime I arrive to Amst. I first pass by Abraxas, great mood, great cool crowd and friendly staff!
↵ -
Outside of City Centre, go with "Cafe Little" it is on Vijzelstraat and the Weteringsdwarsstraat section. It is like 6ft high but pillows all over to make for a comfortable setting. I was surprised you mentioned Grasshopper (though thankful you left out the Bulldog!), but for one shop with multiple locations i would go with Kadinsky (the best is just off Rokin), the others are closer to Centraal Station. Also, for those who love Dampkring as much as I did (BEFORE Ocean's 12), a few blocks away is Tweede Kamer. They have the same menu, the place is about the size of a postage stamp, but if you get a seat, keep it, the staff are the friendliest in town and it has a great selection. Grey Area is also terrific with some of the strongest bud in A'dam but it is just so crowded all the time and not as comfortable a vibe as the other places…
↵ -
oh yeah, and Abraxas has weed MILKSHAKES! how can you beat that??
↵ -
Everyone, including Amsterdammer, knows that the Dutch are a bunch of rude, xenophobic d-bags, and the only reason we all tolerate them is for their tulips, weed and pannekoeken.
↵ -
Just another Amsterdammer would like to say all are welcome. We appreciate people taking the opportunity to visit our city (so don't waste all your time inside coffeeshops). I would have to agree: don't buy any prerolled joints. If you are afraid you won't be able to finish a whole bag, you can also ask for a smaller amount. Personally, I prefer to smoke outdoors, try Sarphatipark in De Pijp.
↵ -
Yup! That's the one! Took us forever to find it too! Thanks for the tip on the sweets…looks sinful ;0)
↵ -
Bluebird is a must – great selection Cashmir Lounge is the bomb… they opended a bar nxt door so you can drink and smoke. They also have food and dj But if your looking for the best weed…ou should check out the cannabis cup winners for the last year.
↵ -
Wow Amsterdammer, you sir are an incredible douchebag! Let's get things straight, I love the Netherlands and I have been there many times, however you talk pretty tough for a man from a country who's biggest exports are teen porn movies, tulips, and K1 fighters…I know, I know, Holland once was a grand nation and for a short period the capital of the world, but to clarify we are not in the 17th century and there is no need for you to be such a smug asshole. I recommend you go to California, take advantage of prop 215 and skin up on the beach…it may help you become a more relaxed and better person!
↵ -
That is just why many Americans are so unpopular in other countries! Your comments about Holland are extremely ill-considered, when you take into account that Holland doesn’t bankrupt its people by running all over the world sticking its nose (and armies, weaponry, etc.) into countries that are not running according to the American standards. I was born in Rotterdam, Amsterdam is my favourite city in the world and I find your remarks about amsterdammer so obnoxious that words fail me!
↵ -
love the De Rokerij spent my birthday there! great cannabis cafe. decent list. everyone has their favorite. cannabis culture just listed 30 of their favorite too.
↵ -
Amsterdammer is such a dramaqueen
All the other Dutchies welcome you with open arms! Nothing wrong with American tourists, they make great conversations. 
Oh and try Rotterdam. Not as scenic as Amsterdam -because of WWII- but it's cheaper (especially the weed!) and has better clubs and bars.
↵ -
For three weeks we toured throughout the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, among many things, we tried out all the coffee shops. And as some of you say: some very small, some catered strongly towards tourists and others were too something or another… We found that each had their good points too. So I think preference just depends on what is important to you personally. What you find likeable or dislikeable is to your discretion. For us, all in all we LOVED Amsterdam as a whole… loved the museums, the restaurants, the atmosphere, the coffee shops, the fondues, and the trams/trains… and loved the Dutch people… lots of great conversation and all the people we met were so wonderfully hospitable. My suggestion for all you bloggers on this website: don't take Amsterdammer so seriously… He's obviously dealing with some negative personal issues… and not expressing himself very well as a result. … maybe the result of a canabis hangover and just needs to take a break??!! My point is that he's not the typical Amsterdammer. Demeaning and arrogant dutch are few and far between. Go to Amsterdam… try everything… and ENJOY!! You'll be glad you did.
↵ -
-fairplay mate – that's what it's about – chuffin in fronta the fuzz. -f'kin decent.
↵ -
-youv inspired me to go to Rotterdam now – i was there for about 5 mins once and it confused me as i couldnt even find the center – but then i was probably fairly whacked already – sounds worth the search!
↵ -
- ya know, if people cant tell what good, crystal-coated bud is, they might as well smoke parsley. Sigh. One day, the world will be shrouded in billions of real nice folk, grinders in hand, seivin-up the best varieties to create a mix of powder so fine, it will free the world of shite. – well, you'd hope so, anyway – it's kinda gettin about time for it.
↵ -
fair corlmment i go there twice a year to enjoy myself but without fail some local bob marley lookalike has to be a smartarse and comment on wat a partime smoker i am as if i care what the asswipe thinks
↵ -
Nothing worse than a know it all that doesn't really know anything. You are definately right in some of your responses but your being a tool man. Peace brother, we are all people man. Sure Americans enjoy coffee shops in your beautiful city because you have a special kind of freedom we don't have. Your people are awesome, but the too cool for school thing is tired man. Smoke on brother, smoke on.
↵ -
Now see thats an awesome post and very good advice. I could be wrong about you my man… but we'll see. JK big Love brother. Smoke on

that amsterdamer guy sounds like an american (used the word douche-bag) or candian who has maybe lived there a while and thinks he knows it all. it's pretty daunting visiting amsterdam for the first time, with so many strains to choose from when back home your extremely lucky to even have a choice. having said that this list is crap for people who have visited amdam before. putting a place like the grasshopper on this list is a disgrace. ok its nicely decorated and the switch to turn on the light to see the menu is a novelty but their prices are way too high and it has zero atmosphere. although not the place for a seasoned smoker it appeals to the first time visitor to amsterdam. Each to his own i'd say. but i really like the rokerij and the grey area, abraxas is comfortable and resin is a good one too. try and avoid a place called free adam though, if it's even around anymore. total shite, more like a cafeteria were people smoke than a coffeeshop. my first coffeeshop experience. it was around the corner from the hostel.
↵ -
I must say I have been enjoying cannabis for the past 15 years of my life. By no means am I a lightweight, and I have had the pleasure of visiting spectacular Amsterdam several times. That said, the best bud I have ever smoked in my life was at Barney's. Perhaps it is because I had just returned to Amsterdam from 2 weeks of sobriety whilst visiting Tunisia, but i bought 3g of Honey B and was virtually tripping after about 4 drags off the joint. Walls and faces were bending, background became foreground, and foreground became background. Reality was doing sommersaults. WOW. A truly remarkable experience. Fortunately, the seeds of said strain have been imported to my country and are in the process of swelling under a HPS as we speak. Yay! Other than Barney's phenomenal produce, I believe its fair to say that when visiting Amsterdam you should delight in exploring that gorgeous city and any of the coffeeshops you may stumble across. Some will appeal to you and others wont, but you are sure to discover a little gem of a place that suits your mentality nicely. In the end, thats what we are all ultimately getting at in this post. Personally I prefer more chill, less touristed places with great music over those big hyped-up places like the Bulldog or the Grasshopper, but IM not one to say what you may like. Just be sure to wander and make your own discoveries, and you will have a great time.

I think traveller makes alot of sense. And i also think the 7 the author choose were not bad at all. From someone who hasnt visited the cities perspective, there is an abundance of difference in the list. Decent Hash, Decent Weed, Good Atmos, and A less Tourist locals Hangout. Any one who has been, and my 3rd visit will be next Friday, will have formed there own opinions on a list. And if they have had a bad experience with a Bud tender, but hey Not everyone has the same experience and what floats your boat my sink anothers… The city is beautiful, and you will enjoy yourself if you go with an open mind, and some strong legs.. And the weed and hash are great anywehre, there are cleary better than other place, and i think most have been mentioned above…
My 1 peace of advice, mind the stairs in some of the coffee shops, there bloody dangerous, epsecially if youve had a fat one.
Just respect the individual coffee shops way of doing things, (find out if you may smoke, buy a drink, ask them if you can smoke stuff from other coffee shops, if they agree to that you will have to buy a drink for sure) and be polite… manners dont cost nothing.. your in there country, try to remember that,

whats up with all the childish namecalling and judging of each others tastes?
as far as i can see, we are all tourists on this blogg and why pretend to be experts and retorical?I had a great time last week visiting Amsterdam from Copenhagen (thats Denmark).
i went to galleries and checked out the city like any other tourist.
In the evening i visited the bulldog, dampkrijng, roekerij and betty boops.
i dont smoke alot and therfore prefered the bulldog on the singel cuz of the friendlyness and atmosphere of the place more than the ability to get supperpotent stuff. It worked fine for me, and the personel helped me find what i was looking for.
i went o this site to get tips for visits in the future, not to read childish arguing and respectless judging of each others tastes and experiences.
I think Amsterdam is amazing and the people of amsterdam is extremely friendly, helpfull and not at all like many of you guys here.
im not tryng to generalize, but many americans should learn to respect other peoples choices, ideas and tastes and relax more.
love and peace from denmark

I agree with all of the Abraxas supporters – I loved in Amsterdam for a year and this koffieshop was always my favorite – sitting on the top floor with a pear juice watching the people float by – fun!

Cesare Gualandi:
The Netherlands has the highest percentage of English speakers in any “non-english-speaking” country, over 85%, so you should have no trouble landing a job there with that kind of expertise, and of course being an EU citizen you wont have to go through any kind of visa nightmare to work there I like this list, but of course everyone has their own experiences. The place I got the most wrecked out of those seven was Dolphin, which my friend and I stumbled upon last time; probably the only time that a pre-rolled has genuinely floored me, and that was after 2 days solid of smoking Amsterdam’s finest.
One place I like is Der Kroon, its right off Damrak and I know its open by 9am, so if youve come on an early flight and want a nice, clean-cut, modern atmosphere for your first smoke its great, really feels like a classy bar and the music is good too. On the other end of the scale I found a jamaican type place near the Heineken brewery, pretty grotty but it had a very “real” feel and played some great reggae, so it was great for that stereotype experience.
Someone mentioned Betty Boop coffeeshop earlier, I liked the atmosphere and its right across from a steak-house in case you get some killer-munchies, but beware that their hash-spliff is pretty tobacco heavy and seemed pretty hash-light, but that might just have been a bad experience.
We (as stoners) are so lucky that Amsterdam is not just a weed-paradise, its also a beautiful city which is amazing to just walk around; the Venice of the north. I remember being upstairs in a coffeeshop, completely stoned out of my head with my friend, and there were 5 people on this table next to us, when Benny Benassi’s “Satisfaction” came on. And everyone was just dead silent, feeling the music so much they couldnt speak, then we just cracked up laughing at how amazing it was. It was a beautiful moment, and its moments like that which make me love the place.
Im going on my fourth trip to ‘dam in two weeks, after five dry months in a country where one joint can land you behind bars for five years.
I can’t wait

If almost 18(17 and a half) and go to a coffeshop in amsterdam will i be able to buy a splif? Or is it illegal?
↵ -
Zwniana are you stupid, or are you just acting as immature as your age states you should be.
YOU HAVE TO BE 18
how hard is that to understand.. The chaps who run the coffee shops are like minded stoners, who have been doing this a number of years and can sniff out wannabe 17 year olds from a mile off.
Im 6feet8 and 23 years old, i was asked on 2 occassions on my last jounrey in March..
Hope this answers your question, sorry if sounded rude, but OMG what a stupid question to ask..
↵ -
No prob Barbie but in matter of fact a friend of mine that comes from holland told me that it’s legal if you’re 16+. That’s why i asked. I’ve never visited Holland and how could i knew? He come’s from there. Sorry for even bothering you answer this (stupid) question!
↵ -
Zwniana, sorry mate i was a little harsh. And if your a fellow stoner i extend my handshake as an apology.
The only reason i took of on the deep end is its clearly stated everywhere and its quite common knowledge.
Also it can get the propriators into trouble..
But hey, go with an open mind, dont look nervous when you enter coffee shops, dont be a typical (yank) tourist, been immature and been like WOW omg… sorry americans..
And treat the staff with respect, and im sure they will serve you mate.
Have fun dude toke up..
↵ -
Thanks man, I will of course!!…. Another maybe stupid question that i would like to make is… Does anyone know for sure any hotel or (hostel) in Amsterdam that doesn’t cost a fortune and you’re able to smoke….. in the room.
↵ -
Thanks Matt for such informative post. Last year when I visited Amsterdam I visited Trinity. I found it exactly the same you have mentioned. It was very cheap and the staff was really friendly..
↵ -
Good selection of coffeeshops, but for those trying to follow along on a map: change Leidsplein and Liesplein to ‘Leidseplein’ and Leidstraat to ‘Leidsestraat.’
Also, there are some changes coming up in the Amsterdam coffeeshop scene. For instance, Amsterdam has announced it will close 26 coffeeshops in and around the Red Light District. This is done in an effort to combat criminal influence in the area, and to spruce up downtown in the process.
↵ -
Morocco guys ,,Moroccoooooooooo brodas ,, the city is called Ktema ,, Check it our ….Try the kiff of the riff ,,never regret >>
↵ -
I lived in Amsterdam for a few months and must say you have missed quite a few and selections like grasshopper make me wonder if you really knew what you were doing.
The best weed in the city bar none is at the grey area. We’re talking 20% plus THC and buds that make your face numb. They also have some great bongs for you to use.
Around the corner is Amnesia where they have a great air filtration system, delicious espresso and snacks, and a variety of games you can use while there.
I bought most of my bud at a spot called happy people near the red light district. They won’t tell you the names of your weed unless you ask but its some of the best in the city and cheapest. while i was there, they’re best stuff was 30 euro for 5 grams.
Another oft overlooked place in amsterdam is the hookah lounges. One I believe is called lost im amsterdam. buy some christmas pollen hash at de rokerijj (good selection) then ask the manager at lost in amsterdam to sprinkle it on your hookah. Prepare to sink into your pillow and prob fall asleep. I once took 8 friends there and 6 of them were out in 30 mins.
The best guide is just to wander tho. There are so many places to go in amsterdam. don’t walk the beaten path this man is taking you on.
↵ -
I’m really surprised no one has mentioned El Guapo. The smoke is terrific. My advice is to avoid any of the bigger, well known chain shops, or even shops like La Canna that aren’t chains but that are bigger and well known. You will pay more for inferior quality smoke. I will say that certain things make you stand out as a tourist, but I haven’t noticed tourists being treated differently or being charged more. Unfortunately, as is in most countries, Americans are likely the most deapised of tourists. This is because of our leaders choices, media, etc. The best thing to do is simply not get upset and act like a f**k about it, just show them how cool American citizens can actually be. Or say your Canadian ;0)
↵ -
How sad to have to lie about your nationality in order to be accepted!
↵ -
Hmmm, i have commented twice already on here.. And will again..
Lets not turn another nice discussion into a political dispute. In all the 7 visits i have made as a English/Australian, Americans stand out like a saw thumb.. They tend to think there above the general public and other tourists over there. They tend to travel in large groups which gives them that superior feeling and alot of the time they dont use the basic principles of manners.
I always go out of my way to learn a few more words and phrases when i go, and believe me im treat with respect as i treat the tenders and staff..
Although i also state Americans if any tourists are the ones who are taken for a ride, your baseball caps and bright tshirts and ridiculous sneakers (trainers) set you apart from the rest of the world, and you have TARGET written all over your head…
But i must say on the flip side of that Americans bring alot of money to the country, they do enjoy there weed, and alot that i have met do know there stuff, they can also be very good to talk to.. Just like the rest the the world are.. Americans get alot of unwelcome attention which isnt always deserved..
Tourists (18 – 30) year old Americans cannot be pinned with there govenrments decisions, thats ridiculous, they cannot help that troops are in the middle east etc etc… so Lay of on that front.. Because your picking scabs that arent there… looking for any excuse to hate..
Peace love n all that stuff…

Lost in Amsterdam…
we go there every time it is the best place in Amsterdam with great staff, like my second family
↵ -
One more place I’d like to add. It’s called The Rokery (not to be confused with de Rokerij). I went one day to edit a book manuscript but somehow forgot to take it with me. Instead, I spent my time there people watching and chatting with the manager and the women behind the bar.
I learned a lot that day about living and growing up in Amsterdam, why you can’t wear a hat when going downstairs, and how to generally confuse everyone who walks in the door (that seemed to be the manager’s sport, but he gave me a break).
↵ -
There are some disgusting comments on this blog, many that are very insulting to the city of Amsterdam, and especially to the Dutch in general. Shame on you, and to ‘paddy’, who labels ‘amsterdammer’ as a Canadian. Who the fuck are you? I’m Canadian, proudly! That puts you right beside that obviously unstable person.
Nice list, nice offering of the time to write about it, I read somewhere to go to De Rokerij, or I wouldn’t have known about it, best place I had the chance to go to in two days I was lucky to spend in Amsterdam on my way through Europe.
Peace and Love

whicked , best weed i ever smoked was i a little town called totnes i southwest England , made my stepdad sick even just opening the bag i the same room as him tihi
↵ -
i love the mention of the lazy cat in dampkring and the picture in the window…it makes me happy to know that the cat is a staple, as i will certainly be looking for it next time i go to amsterdam….the mexican haze at dampkring was probably the best weed i’ve ever smoked
…what a great city, one where i’m certain everyone leaves with the desire to return ASAP for some more discoveries and adventures…can’t get enough

As a business person looking for low key, relaxing place to stop in for a very light smoking of the weed (very light) is the “Old Church Coffee Shop”. This is located in the red light district just across from the Old Church. It’s comfortable, relaxing first floor. I like the green tea and a 50/50 cig. Very cool place and I highly receommend to the American business traveler requriing privacy.

it s not true coffeeshop crush is not in the liste

Lived in Holland for a few months last year. The Dutch people were awesome and friendly and helpful to this American. I think they’re known for their tolerant attitude towards all people and their recreational habits. Enough with the “ugly American” commentary. It’s so tired already. Can’t we just celebrate this beautiful city? Katsu is awesome. So is DampKring even if it’s touristy it’s a cool place to hang out and they have tasty juice. Spacecake at Betty Boop was amazing. Rokerij is legendary and a must visit as is Grey Area. I just love love love Amsterdam. Can’t wait to go back. Note…due to the recent changes in the law you cannot get cake outside of Amsterdam.
↵ -
ive been to amsterdam i think they should lower the age limit to 16 it would be alot better
↵ -
Im going there next week for a day (shame, i really want to smoke more)
De Rokerij is safe, last year when i went i got some nice “casablanca” hash that tasted great. The others on the list look a bit commercial, i avoided them and will do again.
Im definately going to go back to the Grey Area, provided its not packed (ie more than 5 people)
↵ -
im going on Tuesday for 2 days, cant wait
had a top time at grey area, spent the longest there nearly 4 hours,(lol yeah it is a bit on the small side) ended up chating to some mma fighter on his way to japan. great vibe and Amazing bud!
Barneys is another place were you can get top notch cup winning bud. as its near the station its always a first stop when i been to dam. The cafe opposite is a nice place with ok food. good idea though as it can get busy in the coffeshop.
oh yeah and waterworks from Dampkring 60 euro a gram but well worth it, amazing high. defo gonna get some’a that
