    Extase... ecstacy? maybe...

    Just across the street from our local :-P coffee shop, lies the Extase Coffee Shop... slightly more upmarket in appearance, and slightly more expensive... still a very nice atmosphere, though no fussball table. Oh, and they have very nice coffee too :-)

    Coffee Shops: "Coffeeshops" & Not For The Coffee

    This is the main reason I came to this lovely place. The "Coffeeshops" Yes, it is TRUE!!! you can smoke in a "coffeeshop" and not be freaked out (yeah! you will be at first because your just not use to it and its just weird). It's simple just go in ask for a menu and select your "weed" LOL and your done. You can smoke it there or take it with you, you are allowed to carry up to 5 grams per person. They alsi offer Hash and Spacecakes even pre-rolled.

    The best advise is..... Don't go there just for the weed, I mean buy something else, like a drink or even coffee if your a coffee head and a pot head.
    Alot of shops don't like when you come in with drinks from outside so just have a little respect.

  • Directions: They are all over just look for the shops that say "coffeeshop" and they usually style a green and white sticker on the window or door. But the smell will lead you straight to them......

    The infamous Green House is a good place to "chill". The front bar is serving soft drinks and beers...no alcohol drinks but that does not seem to hurt the business for any bit. The bar at the back is serving..."you know what" for you to chill in the Dutch way :p Well, the place is cozy, service is decent...people there are....very laid back ;)

    Coffee Shops: A different kind of Coffee

    It's hard to describe the intial feelings of opening a menu showing all the varieties of marijuana available to go with your cappucino. 20 years ago, the feeling would have been euphoria, but sadly, I don't think 'it was legal where I smoked' would be an acceptable answer for a failed drug test. My wife and I bounced from cafe to cafe enjoying a relaxing afternoon.

  • If you go into Leidseplein, you'll see this place right next to Burger King.

    Avoid it.

    Drinks are incredibly expensive (10 EURO for a pint of beer) and the smoke is the absolute worst in the city.

    Service is absolutely terrible.

    This is not a true coffeeshop. It is a tourist trap.

    My main advise if you want to sample the greenery in Amsterdam is to take it easy. There were some of our group who hadn't smoked before we went out there and even the mid strength really hit them hard, and had some rather odd effects as my tip on 'shows' will tell you.

    The coffee shops are spread all over the city, and generally just for coffee and weed. You will be offered a menu listing the different types, the weight and the price. The best tell tale sign of strength and quality is the weight. For exapmle if two types are both listed at 13 euros and the amount of grams you are getting is different, the one you get less of tends to be stronger. So once again, swallow your pride and start low.

    Yes, its all true about amsterdam. Whats more is that seated next to you, youll find locals who are great patrons of the green plant, and do it just like they're cigarettes. A little shocking, but almost guarantee a chillout atmosphere. haha

    A very popular coffeeshop is called the Grasshopper, where you can find mostly tourists. But choose any old shop! be creative. I think it is rather expensive as well, accounting for all the fast food you be purchasing soon afterwards. ;)
