Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

I'm coming over in 3 days and I can't wait! I've never been to Amsterdam but I'm going with a group that has been there many times in the past and I always hear great things from them about Amsterdam! I'm staying off of Derde Kostverlorenkade. I think we have a good spot to be around everything.

Just coming over for a nice over due vacation and to take in all of what Amsterdam has to offer. I love going to new places and taking in all of it's beauty. Coffee shops will be nice to check out and taste test as well! So if anyone can suggest some good places in the area I'm staying that would be great.

Also any good food in that general area that is a must please let me know! The group I'm going with know most of the places and we have a ton of stuff planned to do already but any and all suggestions to make the stay even better please post away! I can't wait to get over there! Glad you have this forum and glad I found it!

Bring on the suggestion of everything and anything please! I'll try anything once

"High" and Hello fellow KeyStoner

Welcome to the forum.

What dates will you be in Amsterdam?
I'll post you on the Whos In Town page.
You can see who else may be in town and if there are any Toke & Talks planned.

Thanks for the link! I found that poking around these forums already. Great read for sure and a must for first timers. I showed my friends who have been there a number of times and they even agree it was a great read! Thanks!

You have been posted on the June Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.
Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/profi ... le&u=48174

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

thanks, but the real thanks go to S G Collins for writing the bicycle article and to FlyByNite for bringing the S G Collins website to everyone's attention

stay safe ...

Anything going on while I'm there please post! I want to check it all out!

Here is a maybe odd question. In the morning I love oatmeal. Is that something I can find easy in Amsterdam or do I need to pack some? I hear the croissants are to die for in the morning for breakfast but oatmeal keeps me happy. Something kinda simple but I figured I'd ask!

V+D department store have the coolest euro "cafeteria", it is 3 levels with a great outdoor balcony.
Some of the freshest, best food in the city.
Pizza, stirfy, panninia, desserts etc etc.
Place is not to be missed and a great value.
It right across from the Flower market.

I have never seen Oatmeal here. Granted, I am not looking but it is not too common a food.

Is Oatmeal like porridge?

Yes, and probably easier to find in winter if at all. I know that it's very scarce here in Italy. Not near as easily available as in the states or elsewhere.
