Katsu
Katsu again
Katsu three time over. Such a good coffeeshop ; really excellent gear ; sensible prices ; nice people ; great place to hang out. It's perfect

Greenhouse not too bad but I would advise not the GH in the red Light district. I don't know why but everytime I have been there, the weed has been in worse shape than in their other branches and the staff were extremely unfriendly. I like the branch over by Waterlooplein. Their Hawaiian Snow is out of this world. But so much of their gear (and, sorry, this is true of Barneys and De Dampkring too) it waaay over priced.

The homegrownfantaseeds coffeeshop is also worth checking out, as is, for hanging out at least (haven't bought there) Siberie. I agree grey area though their opening hours sometimes rather loosely adhered to and it's very small so buy some buds there and move if it's busy. Dutch flowers often has excellent gear but also often has total ar$eholes on the till (why???)

I would say too that some places are worth going to to smoke in but not necessarily to buy in. the Barney's, GH and De Dampkring Branches on Haarlemmerstraat are all recently refitted and are really flash, if that's your thing.

If you like things more homely and mellow, I can also recommend highly the Yo Yo coffeeshop. YoYo and Katsu are close to Albert Cuyp Market (and the galleries).

Last time I went to YoYo they had a bunch of not great weed but some amazing organic haze amongst it all. And it's a lovely quiet place to hang out, especially on a sunny day.

This site has all you need on A'Dam coffeeshops:

Have fun!

Oh, yes, other shops... Homegrown fantaseeds shop on Nieuwezijdsvoorburgvaal (sorry about the spelling) and the Dampkring shop opposite centraal station are good growshops.

And you must visit the pollinator shop and pay your respects!

if you can be tempted away from the red light district, you might want to go and try Boerejongens or Bij

Katsu....down in de Pijp very near Albert Cuyp Market. There are some others in that area, too. I'm staying in de Pijp the first week of July..in an aprtment near Carmona and Yo Yo. Home Grown Fantasy is another "must see". There's a websit.... Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory, that features all the shops in town with comments from travelers. They have a forum too, which is a wealth of info on everything in A'dam and beyond.

After many visits to the dam I finally checked out katsu and it is for sure my all time favourite. Really nice well grown, cured weed direct from the breeders in some cases. Fantastic lavender and black widow last time I was there but most of all it is just a cool relaxed place to chill. Not convinced the chick behind the counter even smokes because she doesn't seem to know alot but very nice and friendly which is more than you can say about many budtenders in the dam. The neville's haze and rifman stuff from dampkring group is the top tier of what is on offer also. Not alot to do cannabis related other than nug/hash hunt these days imo.. way better in the mid 90's when positronics was still around and the growshops were pushing the limits more. sensi hash museum is a joke and the dampkring growshop display garden was infested with thrips and mites last year when I was last there. But LOTS of non cannabis stuff worth checking out, I love just wandering the canals and exotic hash hunting though.

Thai Bird Snack Bar/restaurant is my favourite place to eat, located just outside of the red light district.
