Re: Miss B by La Grotte

Do we know if this place is still smoker friendly? And can you still get breakfast here? :)

Use to be a go to spot for breakfast on most days. The breakfast was nothing amazing but good enough.

Re: The fun just never ends…

My feeling is that it won't go on for months. It's moving so fast that it'll blast through the whole population in a few weeks. I think the next few weeks could be a bit of a meltdown with everything closed due to staff off sick - with or without a lockdown. Once it's passed through, I think that m...

Doesn't look good. Could be like this for a few months. I can see the UK following suit in the near future too.

Re: Lost in Amsterdam

I use to go here a lot 10-15 years ago. It was one of the few places you could get a seat when travelling in a big group. It's also a good spot if you are travelling with non smokers who want to drink - everybody can do their thing here. I agree the staff can be a bit pushy - but that's much the sam...

Re: Your 3 Favourite Coffeeshops

My top 3, from my trip in July - just based off of best bud as the Covid rules and Sunny weather had me buy n' flying the majority of the time. Solo Het Grey Area Other shops may have had the odd batch that was of a higher level, but Everything from the shops above was consistently good. The service...

Re: New Times (formerly M&M)

I went to New Times for the first time in July. Not sure why I had never visited it before, but it was one of the few I hadn't over the years. I too was recommended the Kosher and have to say I was pleasantly surprised, maybe one of the better tasing buds on my trip although I agree it wasn't the st...

Re: Het Gelderse

I was there in June. First time visiting this coffeeshop in over 20 trips - for some reason I never stopped by. Thought it was a good spot with a nice vibe. Not the most comfortable seating from what I remember, but that's 'Dam for you. I remember the Mimosa being especially tasty, I went back a few...

Re: Which season is the best?

In my experience, nothing quite compares to Amsterdam in the Winter/Xmas time (along as you're wrapped up warm), it looks absolutely stunning, especially in the snow. I've been during other times of the year also, and to be honest, aslong as its not raining loads, its much the same. Having said that...

Re: Current rules travelling to ‘Dam!?!

Thanks for the above. I didn’t end up going.

However, I am thinking of going next week. I heard Netherlands has been taken off the UK list, so we no longer need to quarantine when we get back. Is this true? It’s not very clear on the gov website. Anybody recently been?

Current rules travelling to ‘Dam!?!

Was hopin to catch a quick flight out over the next day or so but not sure what the current rules are? Are shops still open in Amsterdam? Do you...

Re: Parks to smoke in? Help please

Thanks for the reply, that's good to hear. Yes we will definitely be mindful of the kids, no worries there. Knowing there is so many place we can smoke we just don't want to piss anyone off by smoking in public places. But the idea of a bit of football in a nice park with a few joints sounds pretty ...

Parks to smoke in? Help please

Hi all, Heading to 'dam in a couple weeks with 3 others. I was wondering what parks are good to smoke in? as im hoping the weather will be good, the plan was to buy a football and go to one of the parks, have a picnic, smoke and a kick about. Is Vondel Park okay for this sort of thing? Our apartment...

Re: Greenhouse

Only good thing about this place is that it is big enough to host big groups, food isn't too bad either if your looking for somewhere to smoke and eat. Once again, another shop which tried to short change me. Also notice they only ever recommend most expensive, even when its the dusty bits... Maybe ...

Weed is decent here, HOWEVER, the budtender tried to short change me, I was meant to get 6 euros back but instead of given me a 5 note and change, he obivously thought he could confuse me by giving me a mixture of change, i noticed straight away and told him to sort it out... 2 mins after sitting do...
