Located off the main tourist routes, Amnesia is often cool and quiet, though it occasionally fills up with locals. Their pre-rolled joints are strong yet smokable, and the drinks menu is more than expensive.

Barney's Coffeeshop

Basjoe

The canal view alone places Basjoe among our favourite coffeeshops in town. Candlelit, with soft vinyl terracotta booths and cream walls, it's all about the weed here - and the outstanding coffee.

Coffeeshop 't Ooievaartje
| Coffeeshops - Coffeeshops in Amsterdam |
Located not far from the dock in Amsterdam-Noord, Coffeeshop 't Ooievaartje (meaning "the little stork") sells standard weed at over-inflated prices. Unfortunately, the sunny front room isn't open for smoke of any kind, even pure weed and the dark and unwelcoming back room encourages you to toke quickly and exit just as fast.

Open: 10.00 a.m. - 10.00 p.m.
De Dampkring

De Rokerij

A marvelous discovery, de Rokerij is an Aladdin's cave. Lit by wall-mounted candles and beautiful metal lanterns, it's decorated with colourful Indian art and a variety of seating - all of which is highly appealing to those feeling the effects. It gets very busy in the evening and on weekends.

Easy Times
| Coffeeshops - Coffeeshops in Amsterdam |
Coffeeshop Easy Times has been around since 1985, but in 2088 it changed owners and was completely renovated. It brings to mind a mini Supperclub in black with its low-lighting and loungey leather banquettes.

Their list touts 16 types of weed with a good range of sativa and indica selections.
