Sigh. I gotta git me back there sometime soon. Whilst there for only 4.5 days, a coupla years ago, we managed to see something like 30-40 'coffeeshops'. The best of the best we saved, and rolled three huge salad doobs on the way back to the train.

Warning! The average shite there is good. The good stuph will blow you away, though I have had stuph on par with the best o' Amsterdam in Edmonton, Calgary, the BC interior, and Toronto. But it's gotta be good!

The ones I remember (gee, I don't know why, but my memories of Amsterdam are a little hazy... Grey Area, The Old Church, Stone's Cafe, The Grasshopper, de Dampkring (of course!), and Dutch Flowers. Still trying to remember the name of the shop we found the best NY Diesel in (iirc, was the house special, and soo strong that the guy next to me fell off the bench, absolutely catatonic

And you absolutely have to visit The Bulldog, the shop that started it all..!
