Amazing, built as a business, security, budtenders like a bank, great drinks, plenty of seating; closed 10pm. This place is well worth a visit but can get busy.

Busy place. I visited on Friday 13 July 2012 in the morning about 10:45am and there were several customers already in the glass enclosed seating area smoking. Mandatory purchase of drinks or snacks to get through the turnstile to enter the smoking-seating area. Music was good. Relaxed atmosphere. The dealer's window is along the right-hand side of the wall as you walk in. He was quite business-like. I wouldn't say friendly. I bought the Jack Herrer 1.4g for 10 eruos. I did not find it all that great. Good, but not great. I smoked two small joints and then bought K2 on the way out.

My current favourite coffee shop, surprising for a themed shop but a very nice place to sit and chill. ID required, dealer booth is on the right; big selection of weeds and hashes in pre-weighed bags 5-50 €. Tried NLX (30 € 5g), Amnesia Haze (50 € 5g), Red Lebanon (12 € for 1.2g?) and Cheese (15 € 1.8g). You still have to buy a drink to smoke, haven't tried to just buy a drink and smoke my own yet. Big main smoking area, grab the window seat if you can, good music, funny cartoon tiles and one of the few places with a mixed crowd. 9/10

Came across this place by accident; true, they expect you to have a drink when you're sitting in - you can hardly blame them for that. More importantly: it was a swell place to be! Funny decoration, bit of a 'unique' feeling, cartoonesque in all its glory (and yep; the hiphop 'pimpy' attitude of the local scene blends perfectly with that). It made my mate & me enjoy the 'high' even more! My friend bought some black hash, personally I don't really know (remember) what kind exactly. But it was a good smoke, and according to him (though he didn't go into detail as it was a gift from him to me) the price was "ludicrously cheap". And I hope no one takes offence, but I do wanna add that it was truly an "A-class" stunning good-lookin' girl at the counter, my oh my!

A good selection of bud and hash but prices were higher than anywhere else I've visited in Rotterdam and you have to buy a drink to get in to the seating area even if you've bought weed, very tourist trap feeling, like being back in Amsterdam, but the seats are comfortable and it's nice to mong out looking at the fishtank.

My personal favourite among all the shops in Rotterdam. The shop has a unique decoration inside the movie "Finding Nemo" with sea and fish theme. They have a large selection of weed and hash and if you pay 30 Euro you have a good discount and you can have a 5g bag. They serve tea and coffee and coke. The staff which is made up of hot young women who are super friendly. You can have a seat at the street level and watch the bustling outside while you smoke your favorite weed. In total I would like to say that the prices are much more affordable than what is offered in tourist-attraction Amsterdam where you have to pay 12-15 Euro for a gram if decent smoke. If you're a heavy toker like a trip to Rotterdam is definitely better than Amsterdam.

Alright. Had some good weed there and was well priced. Tried their NLX (8 euro for 1 gram), really good quality and tasted really nice, couldn't stay there for too long though. Music was good and the decoration was really something after a few smokes, fish tank seemed to add certain something haha. Felt quite uncomfortable after a while though, lot of locals in who if I'm honest didn't seem too friendly, got stared at for quite a while felt a bit out of place so we moved on.

Meant to be made to feel uncomfortable by local gangster wannabies who gave it hiphop pimp/ho attitude in a Disney cartoon themed tiled coffeeshop! I know. The coffee and hash were unremarkable so I couldn't recommend this place.

Fairly average all round, although when I pay 2 euros for a cup of tea, it's nice to have a real cup, not a paper one. Good menu, but was only visible when standing at the serving window, which could be a hassle if the place is busy.

Situated in a street with a lot of coffeeshops, personally I don't like this street. This shop has an original decoration, the people who work in this shop are nice but nothing exceptional. Their weeds are very good, a large choice, and cheap (5 grams for 30 €). I tried their Shiva and Edelweiss which were good. I don't pretend to be an expert of Rotterdam's coffeeshops, but this shop is one of the best deals I found in this city for the moment.

Location: very central and easy to find. Decor: well presented with lots of colourful wall paintings. Clientele: mainly men/locals, but all in a good mood. Menu: extensive, containing lots of high strength varieties, but slightly higher priced than the other local coffeeshops. Amnesia Haze at 10E per gram is an eye blistering high and the Powerplant at 30E for 4 grams is a very tasty day to day/session smoke that won't bankrupt you. Staff: very efficient and friendly service (Note: expect to be age checked on the door - even if you are in your thirties!). Conclusion: a must visit, modern coffeeshop set in an ideal, central location.

The shop is open again, and is one of the best coffeeshops of Rotterdam. The interior is very nice. A lot of colors, wallpaintings and sea-aquariums. Disney has demanded that the "Nemo" theme should be removed, but it's still very obvious. Together with the new no-smoking rules in the Netherlands this resulted in the new Nemo with a separated smoking area. The menu is huge, and they have all kinds of bags: 6 euro, 12 euro, 15 euro, 20 euro and 28 euro bags. You will get 4.8g of Powerplant, NLX or Edelweis for 28 euro. Bubblegum, K2 and other nice indicas will be 28 euro for 4g. They also have a few hazes: Amnesia, Super Silver Haze, Cheese Haze and a Mexican Haze. The hash is also great, and a lot of people just come there because they have the best products. I would advise the NLX for the big smokers. Great taste for an NLX, nice tops and crystals. If you like sweet, take the Bubblegum. I have smoked a lot of Bubblegums from all over the country, but this is the only one that deserves the name. The Amnesia Haze is the best of Rotterdam. It's even better than the Amnesia of Boerenjongens in Amsterdam.

A very cool place. Loud music with lots of people partying. Had their Mexican Haze and the Power Plant. Both had killer smell and the power plant was killer. The Mex haze had a mild to medium buzz effect. Nice for a regular smoker. Not so nice for a hardcore like me. But the atmosphere was a winner. Went back for some Edelweiss - also kind of weak.

Cornershop cousin to the Amsterdam shop of the same name. The Sensi girl used to look down on us from the ceiling. Now her image only appears on the beer mats. But there is no beer for sale only cannabis from the booth just inside the main doorway. The circular serving area in the lounge and the elevated window views onto the streets below give this establishment a distinctive style.
