If you could only visit 3 coffeeshops ever again...

[Rufus]

Hmmm tricky In no particular order

Paradox
Basjoe
Katsu

[Boner]

The old Pink Floyd

I share your sadness, I had what was my greatest coffeeshop experiance in PF.

There's a story here somewhere (hint)

It was my first visit there and everything was perfect, the weed (I'm 99.9% sure it was Mothers Finest) was as good as it gets, the staff were amazing (tall Dutch guy, forgot his name now maybe Richard?) he put David Gilmours live dvd on and I was just mesmerised, then I went to the toilet which was the first time I'd peed in a black light and it felt like I was tripping.

Paradox - Probably been the one shop i desire to visit each day im in Dam (whether i get round to visiting it everyday is another "stoners" story)

Grey Area (and getting a seat) - Always seems perfect when you get in there and theres no queue and even better when you've just bought ure bud and a table becomes free

-Club Meida - Always quality bud always friendly, big screen that seems to always show football

[sea72]

...what would they be? why? and what would you buy?

For me...

Paradox
Had some great times in here over the years, very friendly staff, great little smoke menu, good food and drink. I'd get a nice couple of grams of BioGreen or NY Chiesel, a Banana milkshake and a veggie burger and spend a couple of hours reading. Bliss.

Stix (Korte Koningsstraat)
Love it in here, area is really nice. Had some of my best smokes here, never had a bad deal in many years. Lovely people too, always a bit eclectic/eccentric, always very helpful. I'd be having a gram of White Chocolate and a cappuccino to kick start the day!

Het Ballontje
Love the 'feel' of this place because it's not in the main centrum and never gets too crowded. A nice lemon tea with some White Balloon would go down a treat!

Honourable mentions go to Bluebird, Kashmir Lounge, Greenhouse Tolstraat, La Tertulia, and De Graal.

Bit of fun amongst a mountain of gloom eh?

Betty Too - some new place for me. Not bad:)

basjoe
voyagers
barneys LOUNGE

[Kacey420]

Grey Area
Barneys lounge
Amnesia

[Uncle Ron]

Basjoe - There is only one King!
Dampkring - Outstanding Riffman, esp. Aziza and Malaki(sp?)
Grey Area - Just about everything, esp. Martian Mean Green when at its best.
Honorable Mention: Mellow Yellow for their S5 Haze and Blueberry Ice Hash.

So many choices, if only...

[Cal X]

Basjoe
420
Grey Area
Pink Floyd would have been on my list as well! The Double Trouble, great Hash!

[Bongbhoy]

grey area(quality)
greenplace(quality and good menu)
hgf(cheese)

[Cisco]

Sorry folks but on my list would be

Greenhouse i know alot of peeps dont like it but its one o the first shops i visited

Dampkring ; Great menu and its usually where i start my trips

Boerjongens ; Ok you may not be able to sit but you can roll for the road or sit on the bench outside , i always try make it down there

And i know its cheating but number four is of course the Original Formula Basjoe jus for the chilled atmosphere and i have never had a bad bit o anything in there

[smokseyj]

After last trip it would probably be
Green Place
Grey Area
HGF (Just for the cheese they had)

However i think this might change a bit after the next trip....for example, ive never been to basjoe's......

Paradox

Amnesia

Stix Utrechstraat (purely for barkeep rolling spliffs for me take back to apartment - service !)

[westerkerk]

Stix Utrechstraat (purely for barkeep rolling spliffs for me take back to apartment - service !)

Ha! Was it the bald guy? He is cool.

I love how in Stix they come round with a jar of sweets to each table every now and again, for free obviously, other shops might do it but never while i've been in

Service indeed

[Dave near London]

Very , very nice youngish lady - who was so friendly - laughed at my useless rolling skills (probably cos a bit taken in with the ability to buy and smoke in a coffee shop - I practice , when I get the chance with tobacco at home - and can do an OK-ish cigarette) - anyway , she just takes the weed and a Camel blue , knocks out about 3 spliffs -and presents them in a clear take home bag. Walked past the police on the way back - with bag in hand. !

If I go again - she is there - and no tourist restrictions - she gets a bunch of flowers at least.

And as for the gent Ludo in Paradox ...."would you like a water pipe ?" - all so matter of fact etc , with real friendlines. Ditto Amesia - big effort to get a nice , clean glass pipe from the staff. Quality.

Gotto go again - told my misses - she doesnt mind if I go for another indulgence trip !!!
