Just to put in my 2 cents' worth - De Graal is top drawer, I've said it b4 and I'll say it again - my favourite shop in A'dam.

Peep Club Media, Katsu, Kabouter, Pacific (all 5 mins or less walk away) while you're there and you'll be golden.

De Pijp seems to be one of the best areas to visit outside the centrum along with Haarlem. How long is the tram journey? We get there on a friday night but we are going to get into De Pijp for early afternoon on the sat. Hopefully one of those places will be not too full so we can't chill.

the tram trip is 15-20 minutes from CS take the 16 or 24 to Albert Cuypstraat then walk 2-3 minutes in the direction opposite from where the market starts on Albert Cuypstraat. Afterwards enjoy a beer in one of the many bars on the street that crosses the market (either side of the market) - Erste van der Helststraat. De Pijp is a great way to enjoy a different cool part of the city

Yes, I love this place. I purchased the Super Polm, and the White gold ( thier top end Maroc. )Both were very good.
You can buy by the gram, or in €5,10, etc.
Service was friendly, the young lass behind the counter was more than happy to show me the wares. The bags were pre-weighed ( at least mine were, I did buy two €10 bags. ) but budlady was happy for me to open them up for a sniff.

I have photos, and will post them when I get round to uploading em.

..and they had the only real Lebanese 'pollen' I could find here last year, it was righteous, very strong and clean, crumbled to dust with the slightest pressure, though expensive

This looks like the perfect spot to take my laptop and while away a few happy hours. Will definitely be giving this place a try next trip.

White Gold 20 Euro, was okay but looked more red to me. One deffo for Bong or pipe as i did not burn to well sprinkled in a joint.
Good CS but very very busy the day i dropped by.
Worth a visit if your in the Area and the Budlady was very friendly.

Not much in stock when i got there so i had the Paki hash on the ladys reccomendation. Pretty strong stone much like the hash of old but looking more like a lump of tarmac. Not bad and the CS was empty so i just chatted to the two counter chicks. 8)

Was here about a week ago. First time.

Strange you have to be buzzed in (does that mean you must buy their weed?). Nice huge place, tons of space downstairs and up and that doesn't include the small main bar which is on a kind of mezzanine level.

Nice staff, no hassles. Chilled here twice with some friends of mine visiting Amsterdam. They liked it so much which is why we went back there again.

The weed is OK too. Don't expect to get blown away but it is certainly not bad. I tried a sativa (Amnesia???) and some kind of bio indica.

btw they have a huge ginger tomcat that bangs against the window to get in!

I don't live in the neighborhood but I must drop by there again sometime soon.
