The Loft is a quiet little coffeeshop by the Jan van Galenstraat/Hoofdweg junction, very nice staff (both lady budtenders we met while there) friendly,helpful ( read my trip report to see how 1 of them helped a confused pot head lol). Decent smoke(Chocolope) not so decent(pollem) but a great place to take your own ,grab a drink ,and relax with friends
Sending out the good vibes to those that need them right now
So, if they have been going for 5 years does that mean they are probably the last to have been granted a CS licence or is it more a case of the owners having changed the name of the place 5 years ago?.
Been there many times for buy and fly last autumn. Their Amnesia was amongst the strongest in town. I mostly went for Fantasia which was a sweet tasting, uplifting Sativa (was gone from their menu before I left). Bubblegum was very decent as well. There was another good Indica for 9,50 but I forgot the name - memory failure code #420-24/7
This is a fair walk from the city centre and not really worth making a special trip, but it's but a good choice if you're staying in the west city. The location's a bit rubbish, but the budtenders are friendly, and you can smoke a mixed joint in the front room. It's small and fairly minimalist but comfortable enough for a brief stop, and not a gloomy hole like some other coffeeshops. Their menu ranges from cheap hash to expensive hazes - a decent selection and you have flexibility depending on your budget (unlike some of the city centre places where almost everything costs around 15E a gram).
This shop was closest to our apartment out west and I'm so glad it was.
It may not have had the ambiance of some shops but it is much nicer than the average "buy and fly" shop. I visited the Loft 4-5 times over 6 days. Only one time, Monday evening, was there a group hanging out in the front smoking room. Other than that, it was a quiet place.
Each visit we were helped by a friendly and knowledgeable budtender. I got quality pot with every purchase and was given a pack of papers, a lighter, and a bunch of "roaches" at the first transaction. Its cheap stuff but still appreciated. Here's what I got:
Silver Haze @ 11 p/g from the Loft- Amazing haze smell, great buzz that stuck with me for a couple hours at least. Made a repurchase immediately after smoking the first joint. Quality weed.
S5 Haze @ 11 p/g from the Loft- Smaller nugs than the silver haze but just as funky smelling. Great buzz, was another repeat purchase.
NL5xHaze @ 13 for 1.5 grams (prebagged special) from the Loft- This was the deal of the trip. Not super cheap but def killer value. Big, crystal covered buds that smelled perfectly piney and hazey. Buzz was decently balanced and come down was smooth. I bought 3 or 4 of these bags.
