Best Coffeeshop in Amsterdam

[amsterdammed]

Amsterdammed give me a TOP 5 of coffeeshops that i can visit when i go :-) My hostel is next door to Stone's Cafe but i'm willing to travel anywhere!

my top 5

1) dutch flowers, singel 387
2) goa, kloveniersburgwal 42
3) amnesia, herengracht 133
4) de rokerij, singel 8+lange leidsedwarsstraat 41+amstel 8
5) tweedy, vondelstraat 104

stones cafe is cool it's in warmoesstraat, some other places in same street:

the greenhouse effect(check before you buy)
coffeeshop 36(shit dope but great cakes,bonbons etc)
coffeeshop baba

just avoid tourist traps like the grasshopper and the bulldog

Have you ever been to Greenhouse coffeeshop or Barneys??

not been to greenhouse but have heard it's very good.
i had a breakfast at barney's didn't buy any dope but someone else bought some it was pretty good.

Never been -- but apparently The Grey Area is a good spot for Americans.

this place tried to rip me and a friend off, the weed was wet, the hash was harsh.
possible the worst shop i've ever been to.
maybe they treat americans differently.

there's a good shop just around the corner on herengracht, amnesia.

[amsterdammed]

you can drink and smoke in the same place?

not in every shop you can't, it's about 40&% that sell bier.

[amsterdammed]

To tell you the truth, I wouldnt care what coffeeshop was best in Amsterdam, any coffeeshop would be best in Amsterdam cuz I could fuckin buy a large variety of weed and hash and smoke in a big ass shop with other people!!!! Legally!!!!! I need to go to Amsterdam .

dude! trust me you don't wanna come all the way to the dam to buy shit dope in a shit coffeeshop knowing you can get better back home.

there are a few very shit shops. the best thing to do is ask to see it before you buy, and avoid tourist traps like greenhouse & bulldog.

happy tokin' :thumbsup:

cool!

I'm going on Feb 1-Feb 8, when prices are bargain cheap. do you think 150 euro should be enough to have a good week of smoking in amsterdam? i wanna sample everything they got (well not everything but a good amount of it)..

make sure you got a nice warm coat, feb is cold, it snows quite often in feb.

150 if that's just for smoke it's about right, depends how much you smoke. i spend 70-100 a week. i always buy specials when i go to a'dam so always spend more.

i went last year with a friend, he spent 1000 pound in 3 nights, including everything travel costs, flight, hotel, smoke, food, drink, going out, smoking parahernalia etc. he did go a bit crazy.

drinks can be expensive, around 2 euro for a small soft drink in a coffeeshop/cafe, beer about 3.50-4euro a pint.

if you wanna save money on food and if your lucky the hostel will have a kitchen you can use(the flying pig did), go to a supermarket and buy a couple of pizzas(there own make will cost less then 5 euro for 2) and a bottle of soda or a few cans of beer. if they have a microwave you should be able to eat cheap every day. :thumbsup:

i've only found one resturant that's what i'd call cheap:

hap-hum 1e helmersstraat 33

i had a pretty big bowl of tomato/veg soup followed by a plate of potatos and broccoli with another smaller plate with braised beef, there was no room on the plate for the beef, i washed it down with a bottle of heineken, it came to just under 9 euros, i gave her a tenner, 'at that price keep the change dear'
