This is old news, but I don't think Arabica Lounge is there anymore. When I went there in 2013, they were gone having merged with Tops. Perhaps someone on the ground could check to see.

Thanks for all of the help.

I've regenerated the Google Map of just open coffeeshops in Amsterdam:

Amsterdam Map.

I might regenerate the mega map of all shops in the Netherlands later.

Again, top work, such a useful map especially for venturing out of the centrum, used it a lot last trip.

From a quick look the only one thing I can see on there is that De Appel at Daniel Stalpertstraat 106 definitely is gone, specifically looked for it at that address and there's no sign a CS was ever there.

Oh and D&L is showing as "D &amp, L", hardly major but just so you know :D

Oh sorry, just one more from my notes :)

After a Foodhallen mission last year we couldn't find Touche, Kwakersstraat 8 was a cafe/bar called Cafe Happy 2, clearly serving booze and not a CS.

Excellent work with the MegaMap, although it doesn't have BeBop in Leiden, apologies if you knew that already!

@Pierre von Mondragon - the megamap is missing several places because it only includes places that I have some sort of coordinates for. The individual town maps cover areas where I now have a full set. These are growing so it gets better all of the time.

Here's another one:

Just added The Hague.

I've improved the data a bit in the process. Found a couple of shops had closed and some name changes.

Simpel Minds appears to have moved, taking over the former Sticky Fingers.

Waterworld II might have closed. Belhadj and Middellandse Zee also may well not be coffeeshops.

If you have any more info, updates, reviews or whatever, please email me (lemming@coffeeshop.freeuk.com).
