Amnesia

This is a very pleasant Coffeeshop on the Herengracht with outdoor seating. It’s one of the few places in town that specializes in organically grown weed. I enjoyed the comfortable interior with nice cushions and pillows, hand painted tables by Zoe, and mellow music that set the mood.

Interior View – Gezellig!

Update: I visited the Amnesia again for one of their Vaporizer Parties. It was packed full of happy people toking up the clean vapors from two vaporizers kept going thanks to the Amnesia and the hard-working, knowledgeable folks from the Cannabis College.

The party was livened up by a guy outside playing the saw. Yes, the saw. It sounded real eerie, like a theramin or a sci-fi soundtrack. Inside a DJ was spinning mellow house music while a very good trumpet player was layin’ down some Miles Davis’ riffs which really made that house music fly with the jazz adding the needed melody.

Amnesia was also featuring it’s new fountain style drinks, the EXACT same kind we used to get back in the ol’ soda fountain daze in New York. We’re talkin’ da kine milkshakes, ice cream sodas, vanilla cokes, lime rickeys, malteds (I couldn’t resist a chocolate malt that took me waaay back), and most unusual for Amsterdam, the famous NYC egg cream!

What more could you want for the raving munchies, but a cool fountain drink to set it right. The fountain drinks alone will make me a regular there.

Smokewise the Amnesia has a good selection of organically grown pot including Bio Sage and Amnesia Haze. But the most impressive smoke I tried there was the King Hassan Supreme hashish (fresh, with an incredibly good taste), at 11 Euros a gram and their Ice-o-lator hash (18 Euros a gram – the most expensive smoke in the house). Skip the Manali (tastes like crap).

So sit back, have a great drink, a good smoke, and dig the music at the Amnesia!

Coffeeshop with two locations, near the Rembrandtplein and on the Amstel opposite City Hall.

I too have had a bad experience with the bartender/dealer at the Rembrandtplein location laying heavy pressure on you to buy dope in addition to drinks. He actually lied and said you had to buy some in order to stay.

Don’t give in! YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY DRUGS TO VISIT A COFFEESHOP, just a drink. Otherwise they’re no better than street dealers.

If you don’t like the pressure to buy drugs, report them to the KvK (Chamber of Commerce). And if I see more reports like this I will file a report myself.

Until they lay off the pressure to buy dope, and start treating their customers with more respect, we do NOT recommend this coffeeshop!

Down Under

Charming little coffeeshop downstairs from the 60s and 70s shop in the Jordaan. Across from one of the best chocolatiers around as well. The Huidenstraat is nice, and easily reached from the Spui.

Dutch Flowers

Venerable coffeeshop on the Singel at #387. Recently redone, much nicer now. Best if you can get an outside seat.
