The classiest coffeeshop in Amsterdam? - The Dutch Experience - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Citizens Aux PD · 07-24-2006, 05:43 PM

There are more coffeeshops than you can visit on one trip.
While I enjoyed most of them, none of them were what I'd call classy, swank, or upmarket.

Do you know of a posh coffeshop? Real clean and classy interior with nice furniture?

Not saying I'm too good for the others, just curious if anyone has taken the initiative to make a high class one?

Of course, if such a place exists, the prices for the weed & hash would probably be more expensive than anywhere else...and that's to be expected.

Again, don't get me wrong: I enjoyed the dark & funky shops I visited (like the Arabica Lounge and De Tweede Kamer). Just curious, that's all.

bulldog on leidseplein is ok. so is the grasshopper and prix-demi. but i wouldnt recomend buying your weed there.

I dont think you will find a posh place, who wants to burn expensive furniture.

Nols shop was nice and chill and really open and well lit but thats in Haarlem. Im sure you can find a place that you like if you did some searching. :smile:

Why not save time searching by asking folks at a marijuana forum??

Moppel:
Cheers, dude. Will add those places to my list.

Posh coffeshop..If there is one I'll try my best to find it in Nov.!!!! haha....down and dirty is cool but every once in awhile luxury is nice.. for right now I just want to get in any coffeshop..Haven't been there yet..Can ya tell ??? Jones'in for the Dam...peace...

Moppel · 07-24-2006, 07:55 PM

I am sure there are a few more , i havent been to all of them.

Not sure if there is any coffeeshop that's catered for 'Posh' people.
I'm thinking the Rokerij, last time I went through there were quite a lot if people staring at me... most of them looked like the 'art' type people that go to galleries. I don't like the place myself.
Amnesia is a good place... no stoner or hippie bull$hit. More like a real coffeeshop than a stoner hangout.

Citizens Aux PD · 07-24-2006, 10:11 PM

Yea, Amnesia was lighter & brighter than most I went to...I mainly remember that the chick dealer acted like I was interrupting her conversation with some bloke---and I didn't say a word nor make any odd expressions nor even sigh. Just waited patiently by the electronic scale. I wouldn't call it a posh place but I agree with ya, it was more like a real coffeeshop than a stoner hangout.

Will add Rokerji to my list---although I ain't no art snob. Just curious to see a really nice place to kick back and toke: clean surroundings/nice furniture instead of a dark funky dive with ancient, hand-me-down sofas & tables.

Most places are dark,,, but try the Noon-just off Leidseplein-which has renovated the inside with new stuff. Homegrown Fantasy is not dark or funky or used furniture, and has a great bathroom. Free City on Marnixstraat is big and well lit with good food. Rookerij on Singel 8 is dark but has an interior reminiscent of Escher. De Dampkring has gone completely tourist but worth a visit. Avoid Bulldogs at all costs. Barneys is worth a visit early am or late pm, but don't go to the corner shop 'cause the cook's a junkie. Styx on Utrechstraat is spartan with stiff wood tables but clean and well-lit and the locals double park to pop in and buy, which is a good tip...
