Its been a few years since i have been but the best shops last time were MrK&co and family first and also I had a great time in Reefer - they had some fire dutch and import. for me its more about the atmosphere - I am a chilled stoner and cant stand the ultra busy and loud shops.

The Grey Area

Rookies, Get down to it and het ballonnetje are always firm favourites when I’m in town.

Het Ballonnetje is a great shout, underrated coffeeshop.

Katsu, Mr K, Family First, Bagheera, Bluebird. That's probably my current top 5. I was last there in December.

Never tried any of them before, thanks mate!

Coffeeshop Solo, Dampkring and Katsu.

Solo is great, cheapest Sunset Sherbet in Amsterdam on my last trip, great quality too.

Probably my favourite Coffeeshop if I had to choose one. You can always rely on Solo’s quality, especially their hash.

I love 1eHulp, for quality of product and a nice place too, a bit of a walk out of the centre but worth it

1eHulp ('First Aid') is a great choice, and not the only good reason for walking out of the centre, it's in a cool part of town. All the best bits of the Dam lie beyond the Prinsengracht. Flower Power round the corner on the Rozengracht is my fave, I discovered Manala Cream in there. Yum!

Haven’t been for a while but bush doctor used to have great products and a nice outdoor space.

Bush doctor was always my goto. Early 2000s tried nyc sour diesel there for the first time. Great coffee shop

Bush doctor was family firsts dad I believe. See family first on fsotd podcast mention it

The plug.

Ah used to love the Future and Fancy Free but alas they are both gone, Prix D'Ami purely for the fact you can score a smoke and then shoot some pool

Loved Prix D’Ami, pitch black other than pool table lights and the occasional glow of a toke.

It's been a least 12 years since I've been, homegrown fantasy was always a favourite,abraxas,grey area and Barney's,la cana pool hall was always a good shout.

I always used to love the Bluebird but haven't been for 30 years. Nice to see it's still going.

I'm more interested in the hash than the cali pack type stuff.

Last time I was out, I hung out in Siberie, Katsu, Kashmir, Coffeeshop Amsterdam.

If you're after good bud, 1ehulp or borejorgens.

been twice this year, babas coffee shop was my personal favourite, good price dutch, great seating and a ball vape ready for you to use if you would like at no extra cost. It’s not in central (15 min bus from station) but i also absolutely love basjoes if you’re lucky enough to sit in the booth.

I like to buy my stuff in the popular ones (Terps army, Family first,grey area ect) then sit in the less popular/places & you can get food in some. Like hillstreetbooze. Bulldog lounge, La grotte. This is a great method tried and tested there’s a few others but I can’t remember the names ect.

visited a few now but I like yanks in zandvoort... its very realxed and the budtenders are sound..... sometimes found the ones the dam to be quite wanky at times lol

Hill street blues for the different music every day and the vibe

Home grown fantasy, slightly off the beaten track but with Power Plant :)

is the bulldog still at leidesplein square? first place I went to down in the basement my mate fell asleep hahaha

Terps army
1ehulp
Family first

Umma Gumma was really cool, the guy at the weed counter wearing a Hibs top blew my mind.

Sounds like the worst advice ever. Just got back last night and the stand out shops are Green place, Terps army, The Plug and Family First.

Second this, terps army and family first has locations in Barcelona too.

Bulldogs along with Smokey's are 2 of the shittest coffee shops in Amsterdam, 2 of the best are 1E Hulp and Green Place
