Me and my friend from UK came for a weekend and this was the first coffeeshop we went into, it’s close to the hotel we stayed in so on our walk we found it down the side street. Lovely looking little shop with so many different options, but on our last visit we realised there was a smoking area and there was plenty of space and nice seating. Friendly staff that’ll help you if you need it and give recommendations if you don’t. Make some really nice coffee too however you want, but they have other drink options. Over all 10/10 experience!

Very basic shop, supposedly Moroccan run. One can choose from about ten strains of wiet and four of hash. Many fantasy names around here and their Amnesia at 10€/g looked merely ok enough. Though their Moroccan Special Ketama Gold (10€/g) was a blondish and tasty classic one. Good value for money! Their smoking area in the back is weird though as when you pass the door you get into another empty room apart from toilets where only is a small sitting area with couches at the corner on the left hand before you pass another door which leads to the smoking area. There are about fifteen options for sitting with a couple of cushioned seats but all in all very spare. Rarely experienced such a shithole yet so better buy your hashish here and head to Tops down the street for civilized consumption.

Upon my third visit the man behind the bar started a friendly conversation (where you from, how long do you stay...) showed me new arrivals and was glad when I changed my mind and tried what he had just showed me. Very relaxed and willing to help the customer individually.

Good quality at fair rates, esp. the hashes. Rookruimte [smoking room]. Drinks from the vending machine.

This was a coffeeshop I went every time when I lived around that place. Quality is good, good weed, good hash. They got one sort of hash there: Trisbla bodyguard the king. One of the best hash in the Netherlands. The man, Mr.Bomba, is always kind and fun to talk to. I love this coffeeshop.

A little space to buy hashish or marijuana but they have cheaper prices and they are very very nice.

This shop won't open before 2 pm. We did not buy here, but there was a guy sitting at the bar, just 20 minutes after the shop opened, and he was hanging on his chair and not moving one muscle. But all shops in Den Helder are directly towards each other, so no need for us to buy in this shop.
