Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

A little bit of a trek, but my favorite shop is Birdy in Haarlem.

Quality goods
Friendly staff
Decent prices
It is exactly what a coffeeshop should be.
Great starting point for a Haarlem coffeeshop crawl.
Less tourists

Enjoy

420 is my favourite. Was my first coffeeshop that I went to years ago and every time I go to Dam I stop here first. Budtenders and staff are always pleasant and I just love the place! Have great memories from in here. NYD and a coffee from here that's how I start my stay! Even when I wake up I always seem to head here first its just my wee haven

it has to be 420 for me, too
its the one i feel has the best relaxed, friendly atmosphere

always good music playing in there

tough q!
for atmosphere & surroundings- 420
for staff- voyagers
for gear- could go a number of ways. greenplace used to me my top pick but it's gone downhill.. bushdoctors used to be in doghouse but now it's in my top 3. across the decade, for consistency.. grey area?

it has to be utopia overall but voyagers simply cause of the super lemon haze.

Ive heard good things about CS Red Cat

The old Basjoes will never be matched but 1e Hulp ticks all the boxes

Katsu from the list.

The Bluebird is a close second in my opinion, shame it's not on the list.

Other than Basjoe, I would say DeGraal, Amnesia, 1eHulp, Dampkring, Voyagers, and Utopia all deserve an honorable mention.
But if I had to pick one, then it would have to Basjoe until James left.

+1 for Basjoes

Homegrown fantasy for me, always very welcoming and a nice bright airy place to chill

Barney's on Haarlemerstraat has been consistent for me. They always seem to have at least one decent Sativa on their menu that hits the spot. They are a bit more expensive, but are worth it overall in my book.

Something about James and the ol Basjoe that will never be recreated

Grey Area. Especially back in the day with the original Chiefs. Steve my man.

Bump

Would have to be 420 for me atmosphere is always good, staff more than helpful and I've never had an issue with quality over years of visiting. Always kick start a trip with 5g of White Widow its became a tradition
