Balou

Post by Ghost »

Got some great Amnezia from here, lovely smelly sticky buds, well worth a visit.

Small shop with a few tables n seating in, upstairs area, tabaco allowed, mostly locals when i went in, but very friendly, nice selection on the weed n hash front.

Spent couple hours here,people watching out of the window.

Why put never been in the vote? If I vote never been, once I have been, I can't then say whether I like it or not :?

Great Shop, great prices, the Budtender is a wicked nice guy and takes time to talk to his customers... we even went back a few days later and the budtender remembered us.

Definately not my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam, I bought some space cake from here a couple of weeks ago and it was horrible, the sugar had crystalized in it (mmm...crunchy) and it tasted awful added to which the Powerplant although well priced was a very harsh and weak smoke. On a plus note the Budtender was friendly and offered us 11grams for 70 euro, an offer I politely declined.

IMO there is a better coffeeshop almost next door, so walk on by.

Picked up some Chocolope, same price and I swear was exactly the same price as Paradox, again burnt wih some black ash, the guy working there was alright especially as he said something about hanging Gordon Brown. :lol:

Was the first ever shop we went into, very welcoming, is a bit tight in space but if you brave the stairs it has another room.The guy asked about us and took time to welcome us to Amsterdam, sound big guy with a couple of nice girls.

Bought the Amnesia and the Super Polm.

Was very impressed with both, the Amnesia gives you some hit, good tea and other refreshments in here.We went back in when we were heading for home and they remembered us and let us smoke the rest of our stash we had built up over the few days, will deffo come back here.

Not a bad shop at all
bought the 6.50 bag of Powerplant and I really enjoyed it, not very strong, but hey it's cheap
Budtender was fit as well which is always a bonus lol
