High Life

Big place but nowadays sadly only for take away. What a waste of potential, but there will have been reasons for this, huh? Spotted about twenty-five strains of classic and new wiet on the menu (which we – to be fair – didn't take a look at) and fifteen for hashish. Hashish? Not so sure since I noticed the ridiculous name 'La Mousse Plus' on their menu. I kid you not! Since 'La Mousse' is the latest term of recent years for the lowest quality possible from Morocco, also known as 'Polm' back in the days, I pissed myself laughing when I read such marketing of this coffeeshop to sell this dirt. All of their gear is pre-packed as well and the menu is saying nothing about the content of the bags. Friendly young Dutch guy behind the counter approached on that, told us that amount of bags depend on the quality of the item. All right! We were shown his best two types of hashish, but declined as it looked like dark overcured resin for a laughable price. Nonetheless this place was busy which is not surprising, when considering the amount of coffeeshops in this area. They also sell edibles, truffels and seeds here by the way. Touristy place and glad we stocked up elsewhere before since years when going to the zee and all that. Bummer as Goes is a nice enough little town.

Perfect chill area upstairs (above the sale area). Their premium varieties are top notch but rather on the expensive side. Nice place to sit down. And the dog which belongs there is a real chiller, too.

I bought some Citrus Haze and Silver Haze 12.5/gram. I really liked the coffeeshop and the weed was second to none. The Citrus had the edge over the Silver but both were superb 9 out of 10. A friend bought some Amnesia. We both said next time we shall stick to the Haze. Not bad but not the best.

Been there several times this year, and quality keeps decreasing. The price raised while quality keeps dropping. Bought some Hasj last time and was probably the worst hasj I've ever smoked. They like to put different labels on exactly the same weed as well. I think going to Holland to get some good pot isn't done anymore. Very expensive shop for not that great pot. Even their trademark Super Amnesia isn't all that good, and sure not worth 12.5/gr. You'll never spot me in Goes again.

Very friendly people, relaxed mood. Some nice guys around. In the cafe there are billard and some other games. The time I visited, some kind of trip-hop was playing. In the shop everything clean and fine. I'll visit again.

It's a very nice place with the buying area downstairs and a smoking area upstairs which is very nice with big airy windows. They also have a bar around the corner from the shop where you can also smoke. The weed is good, we got Powerplant 1.5g for 12 eur. It's open until 1am on Fridays. Goes is a very nice town and the shop here is much better than Vlisingen.

Very good, this has been one of my favourites for many years. Nice atmosphere, good weed, not that far, can you ask for anything more? I think I visit Goes once a week and they still succeed in surprising me by changing their menu from time to time. I went last Thursday and I returned with a big bag of Amnesia Haze, in my opinion one of the finest weed there is. So anyway: 10/10! Trust me people: Goes is the place to be!

Totally agree with the last two posters on this shop. The fact that one scores downstairs keeps the traffic in the lounge area to a minimum. Music classic rock mostly. The girl on duty downstairs was friendly and allowed me to photograph the San Pedro they were selling. Upstairs is classy and comfortable. Got a 2.50 "Stuff" pre-roll. Nice J. People playing board games, using computer, which is only downside I saw with this shop - 1.50 per 15 minutes, or three times the cost in many other shops. But all in all a top notch shop.

One of the easiest coffeeshops to find anywhere in Holland! Drive into town and it's literally on the high streets main shopping area. Modern shop, split into a downstairs (where you score herb) and upstairs (where you chill and smoke, drink tea, play pool, watch life go by etc). Very friendly staff who helped suggest different types of grass. Selected the shops own "High Life Special" which did not disappoint. Very reasonable prices and a good selection of hash and grass. Having bought our weed we ventured to one of the nicest and cosiest decorated coffeeshops we have seen. We didn't notice - until we started rolling - that we had been given a present of a pack of papers, some roaches, a lighter and a free pre-rolled joint! Wonderful surprise and what service! Highly recommend this place for people who enjoy top service & little surprises. Goes looks like a lovely little town as well with harbour, lots of pubs and a real nice atmosphere.

I think that the High Life coffee shop in Goes is ace. There is a good selection of weed and hash and their pre rolled joints are very good. The atmosphere is really laid back. I was there 2 weeks ago but unfortunately I could not stay for long and only had enough time to buy some dope, not sit and enjoy the atmosphere. You don't need to go to Amsterdam to enjoy a good smoke and you don't have to put up with idiot tourists who can't take their weed. I really love the selection of flavoured teas on offer.

A quite large room, the barlady was not very willing to explain what they had to offer, the menu was good though. Customers are mainly locals.
