Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

As I'm going to be staying there on my next trip, and I don't know whether I'll be able to greet the morning in an appropriate manner in my theoretically non-smoking hotel, I was wondering if there were any. It's not a proper Amsterdam day until that first smoke.

According to the directory and my own experience, most open at 11 or 12, at least in theory. The Atlantis apparently opens at 8 in summer, and the reviews there are intriguing. But there don't actually appear to be any in the forum here, and a bit of desultory googling seems to indicate that it's (now) something called the Amsterdam Meeting Center. Whether that means there's no coffeeshop I can't tell; Google Street View is inconclusive.

And no matter how late I'm out, I'm unlikely to be up and ready for my proper breakfast of a cappuccino and a pipe, or several. So any info/recommendations will be gratefully received.

not sure but I think Club Media is opening at 10am. The noon is quite near de pijp and I think is opening at 9am

Greenhouse Tolsraat, The Directory says it opens at 9.

Last year I tried the (Super?) Lemon Haze at the GH Tolstraat. A little overpriced but might be just the right starter for a Sativa morning session. Have fun!

...and the Jungly Cream us a nice night time hash for nodding off, also from Ghouse Tolstraat

and some, if Club Media opens at ten, I'd rather wait

id go down at 10am walk through the market, geta waffle at wallys waffles (cherry/white chocolate was YUMMY!!) then go to club media. by the time you leave more of my fav de pijp coffeeshops will be open and youll have a better day instead of waiting (there are a few open at 12 but not sure which one) have a great time mate, de pijp area is a special place to get off you face..

Yeah, I want to go back down that area again next month as it sure does feel different. Besides I want to try the market out this time as I should get some t-shirts for the little un for less than the €15 a go I paid on Damrak last year and those waffles sound like some good stoner food.

Cheers, all. Club Media is one of my top how-did-I-miss-that-one-out coffeeshops to try anyway, so a Mokum breakfas might be just the thing.

I'll check out Atlantis in any case, if it's still there. It does sound good from all accounts.

And thanks for reminding me about Noon – in February I stayed at the strictly non-smoking EasyHotel, where their website asks you to please note that the windows don't open, and you know exactly what they mean by that, even before you've seen the €400 fine notices for smoking. And no breakfast either, just the option of machine coffee, a joke at best and a particularly cruel one in a city where you have to be unlucky to be served bad coffee. Aching for that morning smoke, which I finally got when I found the place, and not before time. Though thinking about it, it's an odd name to give a coffeeshop that opens early when so many do in fact open about noon.

On another day, wander through the market to De Graal, which I believe also opens at 10. Given the choice, I'd probably go here even before Club Media, but I like talking to the musician types who hang out there.
