I went to the Easy Times once and actually really enjoyed it....didn't stay long as my friend said he didn't like it but I been meaning to go back for a while.
Although when I went it was some lady budtender and she was pretty friendly I thought...and the special pollen hash was some of the fluffiest I have seen in Amsterdam. Maybe I was luck by the sound of other reviews but I will go back one day for sure....if not just for the pumping dub reggae they played
Red Light Cafe. Underneath the Red Light Bar.
My mate bought a lump of compressed mud and grass what had to have come from under a lawn mower.
Another lad had his fingers burned there before also.
The bar upstairs is fantasic if you get the window seat.
Buy gear at Grey Area, Barneys, Damkring ect and smoke it there on a night.
Cafe wants shutting down for selling that shit.
Dont buy nowt

I was going to dissagree with you there untill I recalled the coffeeshop is seperate from the bar and having to go outside and downstairs for.. Sure I had some half decent gear from the coffeeshop, may have been wrong. Or prehaps I just got lucky on my last trip?. But the bar to smoke in, it sure is 1 of the best in that area. Simply put great atmosphere in there with decent music to boot.
Recall the beer being 1 of the more expensive we'd had of the trip though?. But I'd certainly rated the bar at least as my faverate alone, even if that itself is not classed as a coffeeshop!.
Which must say something as I dont like paying over the odds for my beer!.
is there such a thing as a bad coffee shop?...i wish i had the luxury of rating such a thing over here in the oppressive USA...as a long time stoner (been smoking 28 years non stop!), each visit i have to the dam is so great, so high, so incredible - i've never walked out of a shop without a smile on my face........

There is no thing as bad shop I suppose.{Since we don't have them}But what in essence can make a shop bad is the quality of the employee's attitude and not so good weed.I think that is why you see certain shops excel and others fail.
i have always found, the nicer you are to them, the nicer they are to you....that works all around the world.....i guess the weedtenders get a little irritable with the loud and obnoxious....

unless you are visiting Paradise. In which case the bud-tenders will be a C U Nest Tuesday to you no matter how you act.
There may not be such a thing as a bad coffeeshop, because a place where bud can be sold and smoked is kick-ass. But in certain shops in 'dam you have to buy their weed, which is shit in shops like paradise, so you are smoking and buying weed that is worse back home. So effectively you are wasting your time and money. That makes it a shit shop in my view.
I'd add "Funny People" to the list of "not bad but deffo not good" shops, I had more than a bad attitude in there from the staff, and I am always more than polite towards the guys or girls behind the bar! Also, I have never (although only visiting thrice, last time= seriously bad attitude, not going back...) seen any quality produce in there, so can't really see a reason to go when there are top shops close by...
Paradise, The Bulldogs and the Grasshoppers are the three to avoid in my opinion. The staff in paradise were so obnoxious and rude, refusing to serve me a drink until I bought weed! I was going to buy some hash but I just got in and was obviously very, very hot and bothered and asked for a drink and he just dealt with me very angrily and insisted churlishly that I buy weed before even sitting down. the Bulldogs are just overpriced horrendously commercial tourist havens - the mcdonalds of coffeshops is an appropriate moniker. As for the Grasshooper - extortionate prices on drinks and on poor quality weed does NOT make for a good coffeeshop (the commercialism of the place doesn't help either)
i wasn't 2 big of a fan of the bulldogs, specially the one in Leidseplein, they're ALOT different then how I thought of them 2 be... The coffeeshop was louder an wilder then the damn bar was.. lol.. but i did like the glass room you could relax in once you walked in.
