On my last trip i visted quite a few shops, and service wise i would say Atlantis was the worst, when i asked for only one gram the budtender sounded dissapointed and gave me a small bud and half a bag of ugly shake!!!!! Still, the worst shop has to be Old Chirch for me, tried to make me buy a minimum of 2 g's and a drink before i could sit down, needless to say i left!!,


Excuse me while I light my Spliff.....

Never understood that shit with Old Church.

If the tourist ban comes in in the future surely this will be forced to close?

I've always picked my coffeeshops carefully, thanks to this website mainly, but I hated Bushdoctor, it was awful. Crap decor, horrible Bubblegum, rue budtenders. Other than that, no problems.

Saw that Bulldog is the winner of this poll by far.

Interestingly, I went in Bulldog coffeeshop Oudezijds Voorburgwal the other day to enquire about something.

I've been in there once years ago in 97 and could barely remember it. I did not remember how huge the place was, with a large downstairs section too. Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Their weed may be shit but plenty of places are but still nice places to chill. I don't think Bulldog really deserves this worst coffeeshop award, there are plenty much worse. Plus they are historic as they have a genuine claim (disputed between them, Ruisland and Mello Yello) to be the oldest CS in Amsterdam.

I read in a cannabis cup free magazine in Soft Secrets in an interview that they want to improve their rep and so even tried entering some strains?

Maybe their worst mistake was the branding with the dog? I know some people think it is just frequented by English stag party lager louts but this is not the case.

They are not going to get any rep with strains like this: http://www.bulldogseeds.nl/shop/ :lol:

I voted Paradise only place i've ever felt pressured to buy, the only other ones on the list i've been to are smokey and dutch flowers. Only been to dutch flowers once but it was a nice clean place in a beautiful spot, very quiet at the time, only a few people reading books and papers but thats cool with me.
