Best Coffeeshops in Amsterdam? - Dutch/Flemish - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi Guys,

What are the best coffeeshops in the historic centre of Amsterdam?
Coffe shops which are focused on quality and usually frequented and adviced by Dutch people...
Is it true that now just people who are residents in Holland can smoke inside or take marijuana away?
Thanks!

p.s.
A few years ago I have been at " The Bulldog", in the Red Light District, and I found poor quality products, unfriendly clerks...
It was too much commercial!

Dampkring, Stones Cafe, Greenhouse is okay depending on day to day quality, Barney's is really expensive. Kandinsky is got some good NYCD, Grey Area has got some DNA Genetics on the list basically all the time, Amnesia on the Herengracht is also cool especially when you can sit outside.
Outside of the centre near the Albert Kuijp is Katsu, its my favorite spot in the dam.

Bout the unfriendly clerks and waitresses etc.. It depends a bit on when you come in the season, if its really sunny and busy, they will be in a lesser mood due to the large swarm of tourists taking over the city

The coffee shop with hands down the best menu is The Green Place.... I smoked 2/3rds of their menu when there a few weeks ago & the twizla hash was excellent and only 12euro a gram...

Menu: LA Cheese, SFVally Kush, Lemon OG, Green Crack, Strawberry Cheese, ****** OG + a few others i didnt try...

My two cents....GREY AREA, Bluebird, Dampkring, Club Media

The Grey area has excellant weed but its a place to buy n fly as the shop is very small. Also the lads have lets say a "relaxed" work ethic. (Think they open from 12-ish to 8 -ish.) But they really know what there talking about and always have a variety of fantastic weed. Prices are'nt to bad either.

Dampkring has a huge menue of weed and hash. Again excellant quallity. buyt always busy a a tad expensive for some varietys. Always busy.

Club Media. South of the city centre. Organic weed. Good prices. Local spot very very few tourists bother comming down here. What a shame.

For the finest collection of imported Hash anywhere in the world imo, check out the Bluebird

Get a train 15 minute train out to Haarlem (Hemp city) if you get a chance.

Never got anything but good stuff from the Grey Area. Little hole in the wall place with great stuff and a nice staff. Paccini chocolates right next door doesn't hurt either.

do they still have the couch and the big book with hash from all around the world? i would love to put that in my private library

They certainly do. In fact very little has changed except the couch is now in the "smoking area".
