First time in Rotterdam post COVID, the Reef is easily the best coffeeshop in town, bouncer is strict but a good laugh, staff are great help, pricing is fair as well, tried a few Cali's, few hashes and some standard bud, all top class, bags are clearly marked and u can buy a couple of g and sit for hours, folk moan u gotta buy a can of juice to sit in! Personally, I've never met a stoner that doesn't want a drink while smoking, this will be my first stop next time.

This is one of the coffeeshops in Rotterdam that has a seated smoking area inside. It has a Reef theme and a huge shark on the ceiling. Music was ok. I went there a couple of times for pre-rolled joints. The hash is Super Polm and a couple of puffs really got me high for hours. The next time I had Thai Stick, not as strong, which suited me as I could smoke more of it and I preferred the buzz. The local feller I was chatting with had some Amnesia, which he rated as quite good. A nice place to go. I'm gonna stick with the Thai, my kinda joint.
OK sort of place, currently open 10-midnight.
Had a brief look over the relatively big menu, budtender was friendly enough. Prices were average for Rotterdam. Place seemed to be big and looked inviting (maritime theme).
We went in shortly before midday, and we wanted to buy some drinks, but the bar wasn't open. They told us it would open within 5 mins, but never did. The weed was ok, but nothing special to the price.

A nice twist following the smoking ban - the entire coffeeshop is a smoker's zone and the counter is behind a glass screen separated off from the smoke. Good weed, nice pool table, and great views outside through the smoked glass window. Strict about ID (well they should be!). A great place near all the main shops and restaurants.
Now open again, closed for selling weed to minors, now sports an age check when u buy weed and hash, they wont go thru that again, they have 4.3 grams of weed for 16.00 euros but unless you're fresh off the plane, you may want to look carefully to make sure that's what you want for your hard earned.
Open again.
Opens again soon.
Closed by the city council for selling to minors.
Holds 75 people. 7 types of weed, 6 types of hash, this place is unreal. It's one large great room with tables, stools, pooltable, mirrors and man does it have character, these people that come in here must have all been in a Fellini film. This place has a Reeferautomaat, which is a automatic machine that sells supplies and joints etc. This place has a Californian taste to it, and then on the other hand it has a very new wave about it too, music is house trance and techno, prices are good 6 and 12 euro bags, the best is a large bag for €16.00 4.5 grams of weed, that's a brilliant deal.
This address traded under earlier names too. The reviews above cover all of them — there isn't enough dated evidence to say which belong to The Reef.
