Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi petty, I would call it a touring bike, although I tend to think that grovel bikes are just touring bikes with added marketing 😀. It fits 40mm tyres with mudguards so it's comfy and is just as great on the Dutch gravel and shell paths as it is on tarmac. The issues that you cite with taking a bike...

Hi Starcatcher, I'm from the UK and it's pretty easy to take a ferry to The Netherlands from here as long as you can get to the port (cycling not really recommended!), so it's dead easy to take a bike. So I took a bike with me, as did lots of other people on the ferry. That makes it easier to make s...

A few more of the cycle paths. I rode quite a fair distance while I was there, but relatively little of it was on roads. There are some fantastic paths through the forests of the Veluwe, and some really nice parts near Ommen in Overijssel. That said, it can be hard going into the wind on the polders.

I have sometimes been a bit surprised that there aren't many places selling organic (biologische) weed. I think that in all the times that I have been in coffee shops over about the past decade I have probably only had the opportunity to buy organic produce a couple of times, and they were both quit...

I also had a stop over in Zwolle, which has an old city centre much like many other Dutch cities and still has an intact "moat" around the old city and even some remaining sections of old city walls. Whilst the coffee shop scene isn't on a par with the likes of Amsterdam you can pick yours...

An overnight stop at a rather nice hotel on the outskirts of Amsterdam provided an opportunity to sample a coffee shop recommended on this very forum. So although somewhat tired I found myself in coffee shop Yo-yo one late afternoon sampling some rather nice outdoor herbs. Although I've been aware o...

Realising that I didn't mention what I thought of their produce. I tried the Sari Silver (indoor) and the Single Plant (outdoor). Both seemed to be of excellent quality to me, and I can honestly say that their Single Plant outdoor weed was my personal favourite of about five different types from thr...

So it turned out that 't Grasje in Utrecht doesn't allow smoking inside, but it's fine to use a vape if you have one, or a kind of smokeless bong contraption that they have there.

A few highlights from a little ride around The Netherlands recently.

This is certainly still a great little coffee shop in much the manner as has already been described. I suppose that you could easily find it quite busy, although late Saturday afternoon I didn't have any trouble finding a seat. The budtender seemed both knowledgeable and helpful, and had a nice vari...

Not strictly outside the Randstad, but if in Utrecht 't Grasje, a little walk out of town heading eastish, currently has a nice looking selection of outdoor grown weed. Although they did have Thai (presumably imported with lots of seeds, sticks, and compressed) I assume that most of it is probably g...

I don't smoke tobacco these days, although I might have a very occasional pure reefer and I do enjoy a vape. I like to enjoy a vape but I would rather do so without the tobacco smoke. In the past there seemed to be quite a few places where you could smoke pure or use a vape the coffee shop, but if y...

This was a surprisingly busy place on a Monday night, and there are clearly quite a few people coming here to smoke and hang out. Most folks seemed to be smoking pretty fat looking joints so I guess that most were using tobacco in them, but it didn't seem too smokey so I guess that they must have a ...

I'll be staying in Zwolle not far from here for the next couple of nights and plan to check this place out. Whether I'll make it there this evening remains to be seen as I'm planning quite a long day, but tomorrow afternoon seems quite likely.

I had a brief stop by here today and really liked it. As I expected from all the other comments it has a lovely relaxed feel to it, a bit more like I remember from the 90's! The menu appears to be the same or very similar to the one that wasn't posted by the monk a while back. There is quite a small...
