Creating the perfect coffeshop

Post by vinyl »

You have to decide the style, size, decoration, music, schedule, service, price, strains ...
How would your perfect coffeshop in Amsterdam?

My perfect shop would be in Eygelshoven not in Amsterdam

It should have comfortable seats which are realy soft so you can sink in ;).It also should have not shaky tables,good woodboards and sharp Knifes (often the Knifes in Coffeshop are not sharp at all).They should have regulary cleaned Glass Bongs not cheap Acryl Crapp.

They should offer tasty fresh and simple Food,like self-cut French Fries.They should give away Candy and Snacks for Free.

They should have High Tech Vaporizers and a real large special high Tech Bong.
They should have Microscopes connected to Displays at the Budtender so the Budtender can show you the Weed under the Microscope and you can watch it on the Display facing the Customer Area.
They should have a little Lan Area with 6 or 8 Connected PC to play against each other :)

They should have reasonable Menus with Hash and Weed of every type you can imagine,and expert Budtenders like Whine Sommeliers who tell you what Weed you have to mix which a special brand of Tobaco to get the perfect Joint and stuff like that ;)



They should have Food and Drink with Weed (In India they make a Milk-Drink with Weed) and of course Space Cakes and Cookies and WeedTea.

And they should have events like Pinball or Pool Tournament with good Prices like 1 Month free Smoke or so ;)
Also they should have a Outdoor Garden Area where you can make Barbecue or just sit outside.
The Outside Garden should have a beach Area with alot of Sand ;)

And they should do what Arjan and the Greenhouse Coffeshop do.They send each strain they sell into the Laboratory to measure the amounts of Delta9 THC,Cannabinoids and the Terpenes (which make smell and taste) and all is written on the Menu for the Customers to compare.
So you see on first look how much THC you will get for your Money and how the Weed will taste (once you know the Terpenes and which one you like and not)

Well i think thats all i can Imagine of a good Shop ;)

Big comfy ass chairs
I'd have a four way bong with four bean bags surrounding it (a bit like how shisha tents are at festivals)
More bean bags

Air conditioning/air flow filter
I'd have some rare skateboards on the wall as art, as well as some big canvases of bands like the Doors and the who. I'd have the Beatles abbey road poster behind the till.

An electronic menu instead of paperback so it can be updated at the click of a button (rather than strains being crossed out and prices being scribbled over the top of the old one)

And a can of coke will be 0,70 rather than the 1/1.50e going rate

The name would be, "Sounds Impossible."
There must have been a door there in the wall when I came in.

I think it's good that there isn't one perfect coffeeshop, otherwise, I might not find much motivation to explore the city of Amsterdam. There are many great ones and it's fun to walk all over the city (my favorite acivity after indulging) and discover non-coffeeshop related places on the way to A coffeeshop, which has high quality strains and a large menu, B coffeeshop, which is comfortable and plays great music, C coffeeshop, with psychedelic decor and eye candy, D coffeeshop, which is quiet and full of locals, E coffeeshop, with a great view and service, etc.

Music is most important to me when i'm smoking weed
It has to be there , it has to be good , and it's supposed to be the right volume .
I hate people shouting in coffeeshops. cuz the musics way to loud

My coffeeshop would play every genre of music , but only music that is meaningful .
No commercial bullshit , but rather unleash good music most people have no idea even exists.

There would be a huge selection of healthy , reasonable priced sandwiches ranging from "Broodje gezond"
to burgers . And ofcourse bowls of chips , lollipops , and candy .

All kinds of drinks , teas , milkshakes , all priced to 2eu MAXIMUM , coffee and tea being 1eu .

Interior similar to paradox
but fully coated in buddism , aztec , and other psychedelic related artwork .
Predator masks hanging on the walls , buddha statues , clockwork art ,
painted skateboards , all kinds of weird shit .

Something to REMEMBER lol ;)


There would be a fish tank , including a turtle and whitefrogs on the inside .
A bigger outdoor terrace , maybe the backside of the building ?
With a giant sativa plant , and a pond full of carp .

White weed should be 8-10euros , sativas 9-12 . NO MORE.
Anything more is ridiculous , even for a coffeeshop.

There would be a bengal cat , and a white cat constantly seeking the potsmokers attention :lol:

Weed would be sold in paperbags , biodegradable :wink:

Bongs would be cleaned daily , and i wouldnt allow tabacco use in them .

Maybe a pool table , and a big table for people intrested in card games .
Relax and take notes , as I take tokes of the marihuana smoke

i would have to live above the shop. go downstairs, take a weed and don't pay.
no bongs, no vapes, tobacco joints only. no half grams, no bringing silly oil products from home, no caps. members only, no acd maps on the tables. there would be music, chosen by me and played at a volume decreed by me. i would seek advice from one of the better cafes on purchasing the best coffee machine and training in it's use. no unaccompanied ladies, no bicycles in the shop and no talking when there's a turn on. it would be called, the moderation.

if any of you are tempted to tell me what a poor coffeeshop i've specified, please try to remember that i am imagining the perfect cs for me, not for other customers.
if i were coming up with a cs for you lot it would be very different and full of the unnecessary rubbish described in other posts on this page. it would be called, the cash cow.

Ha ha.. I just though about this, thinking i might have the prefect design :)

If i owned a coffeeshop, i would design it based on kings quest 6 (heir today, gone tomorrow)

The shop would be called "Land of the Green Isles"

There would be different areas/booths of the coffeeshop with different designs..

"Isle of the Crown" would have a "Arabian night" theme
"Isle of the Sacred Mountain" would be mountains/ancient greek mythology theme
"Isle of the Beast" would have an animal/nature theme
"Isle of the Mists" would have a druid theme
"Isle of Wonder" would be fairy tale themed

We would also grow/make our own strains/hash..

Weed
"Cassima" Sativa
"Cliffs of logic" 70/30 S/I Hybrid
"The Oracle" Indica

Hash
"Alexander" Maroc
"Vizier Abdul Alhazred" Black
"Shamir Shamazle" iceolator
"Nightshade berries" wax (rolled into balls)
"Minotaur" oil

Pre rolled
"Jollo" tobacco/Sativa
"Rotten Tomato" tobacco/Indica
"The magic map" Pure Sativa
"Hole-in-the-wall" Pure Indica
"The magic lamp" Indica black hash mix
"River styx" indica dabbed with hash oil

Pictures of locations and characters from the game would hang throughout the locale.

The bar would of course have free mints.
