Bamboe Beach Club Vlouw

We were prepared for 'one of these shitholes', when we approached this coffeeshop from the outside. Surprisingly roomy and relatively clean interior though. No super new furnishing but seemingly looked after. Came with two billiard tables and easily fifty seats. Place every night was our base and full of people. Mostly a young crowd though gladwise no men club here so always a good sign. Nice enough vibe! Vaguely remember a menu of twenty strains for wiet and five for hasj – their most expensive was a traditional one from Morocco for 13€. Quality I can't write anything about as not much was bought from our group but can't remember any complaints so at least average. Biggest let down is though their not well working exhaust air unit as it can get quite smoky in there. Still easily a recommendation for socialising even though not for a long period of stay because of the smokiness.

Sampled some Casey Jones flower. Smell had a nice Diesel in it & surface look was fine. Mild smoke. Bank counter with security glass setup. Dirty bud containers. Scale process was OK. Flower looked OK under a microscope; could be cleaner. Coffee was excellent. Vibes were friendly & relaxed. Music was barely noticeable.

Big and roomy with a gate buzz in thing. Located on Vlouw a couple blocks off the Market Square. Friendly personnel, a large "smoking room" with pool table, as well as a large front area to sit in. Fairly standard menu - NLX, "Bubbles", California but they do roll a top quality hash joint. Music and atmosphere on the mellow side, Tears for Fears & Brian Ferry were heard here. This shop is probably the best for a tourist to check out as it was never full and service was prompt and courteous. Note - there are some coffeeshop maps that list this place as Cafe de Vlouw. Not. There is a cafe de Vlouw close to the canal but it is a bar. Look further down and across the street.

One of my favorites [with de Boeddha]. [Like de Boeddha] it looks nice inside with decorations and fun stuff to look at when your baked. Friendly staff and games to keep you occupied (like foozeball and pool). Plenty of room to move around. De Vlouw also sells small pipes and bongs.

De Vlouw is a great place to go for a smoke if you're with a large group of people. They have 2 pool tables, pinball machines and plenty of space for everyone to sit. With a moderate selection of grass and hash, you won't have any moments of indecision, but whatever you decide on is generally quite good. The staff is friendly and helpful, and are happy to make recommendations. For those for whom discretion is important, De Vlouw is well situated in the heart of town but on a less-travelled side street, giving a fair degree of privacy.
