Negative review:Paard van Amsterdamfrom Belgium12 Dec 2012

We went in, bought some stuff with all our crew, 4 guys, and bought drinks and rolled one up. When ordering a hot coco, the bartender tried to trick me into having one with whipped cream as my mate was having one of those himself and I asked one without cream. You pay extra for cream btw. I'm not cheap, hell I spent tons of cash, but that's not the way to earn my money. Another thing, it was cold as hell in there. I buy a drink and get almost no heating in place. That's not right. Really my hands were feeling icy. The pool table by the way is probably still the same as it was 15 years ago so. Don't go there, really. Instead go to Wonderbar, you'll have a blast.

First coffeeshop we went to, our hotel staff send us there. Just this: don't go there. Overpriced, bad quality weed, not relaxing. 1/10

Decent shop, good staff i.e. will talk to you but not hassle you. Get the Bubble Gum, although isn't that consistent at the right time it's a v nice smoke. I challenge you to beat the staff at pool. But you won't.

Same dealer as last, though he didn't remember me (gee really;-}). Got the Santa Ice. Looked like it had been rolled in duts and left on the top shelf for a year it was so covered in crystals. Literally might have been rolled in kif.

Positive review:Warrenfrom USA27 Oct 2004

The staff is really cool and knowledgeable, and the weed is stoney to perfection. They also play really good tunes, and have a pool table center stage as an added attraction. I also recall a real mixture of people from various countries, and everyone was very cool and social. Ladies also hang out in packs, and there was nothing cooler than seeing a group of hot chicks rolling blunts. The only advice I'd offer is they sell pre-rolled joints with either all grass or grass and tobacco - get the all grass!

Went to this shop on my first visit, in 2002, and they were awesome! Went back every day. Wanted to use a bong, but it was in use. When it came open, I was just going to go ahead and use it, but the dealer ran around the counter, grabbed it, and said something on the order of "just a minute". He proceeded to not only change the water, but wash the bong for us. He then saw that my buddy and I were sharing a lighter, and tossed my friend a free one with the shops logo on it. There is also a pool table which is the center of entertainment; whether playing yourself, or watching two guys (one from Spain and one from Lebanon) argue about the finer points of pool etiquette while smoking a spliff.
