Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.

Set yourself up with your own T&T or Toke and Talk, where you pick the coffeeshop
(your favorite) and the date and time, I will post it and you wait for folks to
show up, if they do you'll have a T&T. If they don't you still get to enjoy your
favorite coffeeshop!


By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )

You can do a little practice shopping on the Coffeeshop Menus page.
Any with arrows are less than six months old.

Any nice new menu pictures you can get will be much appreciated.
Always ask first, better told no than thrown out.

Hi Rossi, Blues brothers in my opinion is not all that, it does not have the tastiest smoke however I do find myself in there every time I go. I tend to buy elsewhere and bring here and stop off here for a drink and smoke when passing. The bud tender has always been cool here and always happy to give his recommendations, however over the last couple of years (not been since Dec) the girls serving the drinks downstairs are not very good just constantly on their phones, arguing in their language (Polish), not polite at all. They didn't realize my partner is from their part of the world so she could understand and it all. Hopefully they have some new drink servers now.

There is lots of places for grinders, they are everywhere just take a short stroll through the shops and you will see lots of smoke shops with grinders etc.

I honestly couldn't recommend what would be mid strength etc, I smoke all day every day and far too much so don't really feel the hit so much anymore just feels like normal to me these days, I just go for mainly the tastiest sativas on the menu if not all

I would definitely check out Barneys (for Tangerine Dream, expensive but has tasted superb the last 2 times I was in town) & Dampkring nice smoke and nice staff & a cool cat who must be off his head all day

Definitely will also be heading to 1e hulp to give a few a try from recommendations on here, also voyagers some how I have managed to miss this place every time even though it is the top rated CS.

im gonna try and make voyagers my 1st stop next week so i know where it is

From my little experience I don't think you should have any problems finding some tasty sativas if you shop around a bit and don't mind about strength, I've always visited intending to try some amsterdams strongest on offer but been so easily sidetracked by so many tasty hazes that seem to be everywhere haha
Hoping to change all that on my next visit in June and any recommendations for a nice kush would be greatly appreciated
Have a good one mate

Blues brothers is gone, licence may have run out
I'd give CS137 , siberie ,hill street at the market/greenhse effect & bluebird a visit , enjoy your trip

I'd definitely second Siberie, 137 and bluebird. Excellent shops.
As for strength, it's so subjective and so inconsistent that you'll just have to take it easy and see how you get on

thanks for the recommendations, i cant wait to go after 5 years of saying i was going i will finally be going, this hopefully will be the 1st of many visits and after not smoking for two years it should be good

ive the map saved to my phone, a list of places to go, even nearly have a suitcase packed. i just wish it was this time tomorrow
