My take on Eindhoven's C/S's. Most are fairly decent places, some are more pleasing to the eye than others. My favorites are the Eurogarden (always a pleasure), Meetpoint (a bit away from the city center, very nice, not sure if they are still open), New Wave (glad that they reopened).Jasmeena wrote:I'm living in Eindhoven and will be checking this board regularly...

My experience of coffee shops here are of:
* Grasshopper (nice pre-rolled white widow joint in Feb 09) but loose white widow in bags has had an unpleasant soapy after taste, since (have tried two bags in different months). So avoided them since.
* New Wave (pre-rolled white widow joint was soapy, they don't sell white widow loose as they claim there is no such thing, however their Red Safari is quite nice as is Super Silver Haze but neither have the regular 'smell' of MJ. Didn't like Snow White or Kill Bill and tried some others as well.. Santa Maria is their best weed in my opinion, but they don't have it very often.
* Upstairs (Begijntjes) - this is my current place to get white widow and I usually buy it loose, tho I have tried a couple of their pre-rolled white widow joints which were pleasant, and not soapy.
I have heard that The Wall's pre-rolled white widow joints are soapy.
I am looking for something stronger than white widow ... any suggestions?
As for buying pre-rolled, usually shouldn't be a problem, at least with reputable shops. If you come across this again, definitely bring this to the attention of the bud tender. Remember, be polite and respectful, and don't blame the bud tender. Ask them to either sample what they sold you, or ask another employee. Hopefully they will agree that the gear is trash.
I once had a problem with a pre-rolled and did just what I mentioned above, except I didn't have to ask someone else for confirmation. The bud tender took a hit, coughed, swore (not at me), apologized, and let me pick out 2 grams of bud which he then proceeded to roll for me. Now that's what I call customer service. I honestly believe had I acted like a Chav, not only would I not have received any service, but probably would have been thrown out as well, and deservedly so. Food for thought.
Peace.
