I'm moving just around the corner from this place at the end of the year, might go check it out today. Veggie burgers sounds good! So many coffeeshops seem super interested in the weed and less interested in the overall experience, nice to see a place that seems more like a regular cafe

You must visit Paradox, not far from the Anne Frank Huis. Don't remember what I purchased but was a nice smoke, great stone. Also purchased a space cake on recommendation from Soul Rider. I ate it after smoking my last joint a Schiphol. It kicked in right after the flight took off and held on to me until I fell asleep a few hours later.

never been before my trip last week, i can see why its a favourite for many on here, the manali was excellent as was the turkish (which 'The Gardener' rightly said tastes of potatoes), the staff are some of the friendliest in the whole of dam, the 1st time i went with LS, REI & their crew, their was 10of us all asking to see different bags, nearly every shop in dam would say 1 customer at a time, but in here they let us look at multiple bags at the same time without any hassle & with a big smile, this shop is gonna be a regular from now on

For me, this is THE place to be when I'm in A'dam.
A couple of years ago it had the right vibe but lacked in quality weed, being the SAGE the only standout strain.
In the last year and a half the menu has incredibly expanded and you can find some very good weed at reasonable prices.
On Boner suggestion (thanks m8!), I bought their Chocolope and it was definetly the best I've ever sampled. Amazing flavour and high.
The shop is always full of locals quietly reading their newspaper while enjoing their joints, and olderguys coming for a chat and a quality quick spliff.
All the dealers were amazing and the food and beverage were reasonably priced and overall very good and genuine.
Go there! You won't be disappointed.

Have to agree with weed-o, tried this place out last week. The place had a really good vibe & the chocolope was superb! I had also read good things about the toasties & boy were they good.....
The guy serving could not have been more friendly, but not in a patronising after your money way.
I did not try the vapo there but am going back in 3 weeks time - could anybody tell me if you do it yourself or do they fill the bag for you as in HGF?
Thank you Paradox

Favourite coffeeshop of lat visit, had a really relaxed vibe and the weed was great. Budtender was really cheerie and was happy to show all the weed. Gt a 5euro bag of Chocoloupe and LA Con both amazing smokes. Hot chocolate was good as well.

Bought LA Con takeaway, great smoke, a little pricier than I'm used to paying but the guy was really friendly. Much nicer place than the cafes on the Harlemerdyke, to my tastes at least. Quiet and friendly :)

I dont need to say too much as this is one of my faves.

Chocolope, €5 for 0.4 - ok not properly flushed though.

LA Conf, €5 for 0.4 - nice strong indica.

Manali Jungle €5 for 0.5 - real nice manali hash, very clean as well.

Milkshakes were fucking awesome as usual.

The first coffee shop I went to thanks to this site and the coziest, friendliest most hospitable place you could imagine. Good smoke, good food and drinks and a great atmosphere. When I'm in Amsterdam I always start my day there with a coffee or one of their incredible banana milkshakes.

The hash was Maroc Wash and it kicked ass. Like the Ice-o-Later they have but better. Hard as a rock. The weed strains I got there are harder to remember. I think LA Confidential was one. I just asked the dealer what his strongest products were and enjoyed the recommendations.
