listen. i've said it before and i'll say it again.
you dont go to baba to buy weed.
its overpriced a bit.
BUT... the drinks are cheap as fuck.
the atmosphere (especially at night) is awesome.
banging tunes.
AMAZING location (i.e. people watching to the max)
and if you're single, lots of opportunities to meet other ppl.
its a tourist money machine. they're gonna get you to buy drinks etc.
thats how they roll there.
one of my favorite spots to hang. actually this IS my favorite spot to hang.
Weed is typically overpriced.
I haven't purchased any smoke from here due to that reason but I have stopped in a few times with friends who are visiting. I only purchase a coke and I have never been hassled to buy more drinks. It's generally always hard to get a seat due to the touristic location and the music can be quite random and loud.
It's a nice place to people watch and socialise with tourists whilst you vape some weed but nothing more sadly.

I agree with the people watching.
It's always packed, but it's made up for by the fact that it's an entertaining crowd to watch. Whenever I come in by myself, someone starts talking to me usually with the same "this is our first time" story. The decor is nice, so if you're not looking at the people, the walls are nice.
Got some high priced diesel here that would probably rate lowest on my buys from my trip. But the drinks are cheap!

Usually my first stop in Amsterdam for a space cake, quick smoke and nice cup of tea. The Indian theme with the wonderful wooden carving of Ganesh gives the place a chilled out vibe, so the occasional techno/trance seems to clash. Grab a window seat and people watch either lost tourists or those on the down chasing the dragon in darker corners as you acclimatize to your new environment.
Never has been a place to stock up but just a nice place to relax and plan where your going next!

only good thing of this place imo is they do some nice freshly squeezed orange juice, music is too loud and weed is poor. bartenders running through tables always asking to buy more drinks, also when you have one half full telling you you have to order more. not my place
Tried some amnesia here at the wknd, it was really strong but it wasnt cured right, really harsh on the throat.
and they do toasties
We visited Baba by chance, last night in Dam. Then, we went back there the next morning, before going to the Schiphol Airport... It proved to be the most comfortable and clean coffeeshop of our long and intensive centrum-tour, with good selection of space cake, drinks and music. We bought some pollen and skunk, both a € 8 per gram, all other entries were overpriced. I think also not exacly high quality...
Skunk was nothing of exceptional but, beyond expectations, Pollen was very good, quite strong and very fragrant!
No doubt BABA is a good place to visit during fist visit to Amsterdam, especially to chill and restore yourself if it's very cold outside and your bags are already full of good stuff...

my fav hangout spot.
best music.
tons of ppl... (great to socialize and meet ppl)
weed isn't the best and is a bit overpriced (because most customers are tourists who come in 1x and never again)
their drinks are SUPER cheap.

At our first visit we ve only got there to buy some "bakery". the staff was friendly and gave good advice about the brownies and muffins. Took 2 brownies and one muffin to go and they were all really delicious and strong.
The second time i went there, i ordered a pure pre rolled white widow. i sat down and started too feel comfortable, while that pure joint was beginning to kick in. all of the sudden a staff member came to me and said i have to order a drink. i wasnt thirsty at all and refused because ive allready purchased a pre rolled a moment ago at this place. that obviously didnt count, so i had to leave even tho i really liked the interior a lot. besides of that theres to say that the baba was a really busy place which seemed more like a take away shop than a place to stay and relax.
id still recommend their brownies and muffins. the pure white widow was also really good.

Yeah, I really must try some of their weed next time, but was already adequately stocked up last visit.Kingdoc wrote:Omg what a picture trance! i am to wrecked to take pictures when i am there,Ps my serbian buddy bought something from babba & it near blew me on my arse! cant remember what it was thou,KD.

Wish more places played epic TRANCE or even the down-tempo stuff, even if it's just a normal cafe or bar.
Anyway, I like the place because of the music.
