This is a small coffee shop with very friendly owner, always good & fresh weeds. (Never tried the hash cuz I don't like it). I recommend it.

The coffeeshop is open again. Very good weed, the best in Bergen op Zoom.

Good stuff but now closed for 5 months (for excessive stock).

Small shop in the middle of BOZ. If you go there, check out their hash. They always have good quality and usually there's a deal, like 5g Superpolm for 30€. Also their weed is excellent. The interior is a little old and sloppy, but that contributes to the relaxed atmosphere.

This is the first coffee shop that I have ever been to! However although all seemed relaxed, the welcome wasn't that great, the weed was good though and I returned later that day and purchased 5g more of the White Widow as it was awesome, also 5g of Afghan hash, which we don't get in the UK any more, would definitely go again but I may well check out a different shop next time I travel to the Netherlands. If the truth be known I don't really want to sit in a coffee shop all day, so the fact that this place was tiny was okay as I prefer to sit in a nice park on a sunny day to get stoned anyway. p.s. the deals were good but a little expensive at 8 euro a gram.

I smoke pot for over 5 years now and I visited a lot of coffeeshops. The first one I ever came in was Sahara. It is a small shop but that makes it a very personal shop. I come over to the Sahara like almost every day. While there are a few other coffeeshops in Bergen op Zoom, Sahara has something special. These guys are always in the mood to have a little conversation or discussion. They know who you are and I know them. Most of the people you see in this shop are regular visitors. They go to other coffeeshops too, but in the end they will always come back to Sahara. I say Sahara is the best coffeeshop in Bergen op Zoom and not because of the great hash and weed, but because of that family feeling everytime I visit my Egyptian uncles:)

This shop is having so great weed & hasj but their price is a little on the high side. They're friendly but don't expect to get a big bag.

First time in the town and much quicker than rolling to Maastricht from Bruxelles. Didn't have a map but found centre of town easily and wandered into the "Sahara" coffeeshop by accident (very easy to find from towns square and huge church steeple, which makes excellent landmark visible from anywhere in town to not get lost) and were surprised. Originally came to find the "International" which we unfortunately didn't find and were told had closed down. Good weed - White Widow fruity as you like; Purple Haze excellent; B52 wish we had bought more than 2.5g - all very reasonable priced from 5 Euro to 7 Euro for the Widow. Friday evening definitely seemed to be the time to come score. Nice mint tea although quite a small place with only barstools. If coming from Bruxelles you couldn't find any closer to fill ya stash box.

Positive review:Bartfrom Belgium10 Apr 2004

It's a very small shop. The counter fills up half the place, which leaves room for about twelve people to sit. Getting stoned whilst sitting on a barstool isn't all that comfortable, but the people that run the shop are very friendly, the music is mellow, mostly reggae and the atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxed. So, apart from the barstools, smoking there is very comfortable.
