Amsterdam is an international cannabis hotspot. The Dutch city is famous for its cannabis-serving coffeeshops, red-light district, quirky bars, and bizarre museums. The relaxed laws in the city allow millions of tourists to blaze up there each year.

To save you from trekking around the city searching for your favourite weed spot, we've assembled a list of the top 10 coffeeshops Amsterdam has to offer in 2025. Some are bustling hives of activity, whereas others are much more mellow. Each venue boasts its own unique vibe, meaning there is something for every smoker.


1. Boerejongens

Boerejongens deem themselves the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam, and they might be right. They have four sites across the city, including Boerejongens West, Centre, BIJ, and Coffeeshop Sloterdijk. Everyone who visits this chain reports the same thing: exceptional quality. Each site is spotless and features a classy wooden interior and old-school lighting.

Their budtenders are highly trained, knowledgeable, and welcoming. What's more, their three-piece suits and bowler hats add to the sophisticated vibe. Set and setting can make or break a high, and Boerejongens goes out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience every time. The chain has won numerous awards, including the Captain Hooter Best Coffeeshop Award and Zamnesia Best Coffeeshop Award.

Boerejongens boasts a high-quality menu and receives all of their strains from the legendary breeders at Amsterdam Genetics. Choose from indica strains such as Tangerine G13 and Green Magic G13, and sativa varieties including Blueberry Haze and Amnesia Haze.

2. Dampkring (Coffeeshop Amsterdam)

Dampkring is another high-end coffeeshop. It’s an 18-minute walk from Centraal Station, so you can soak in the city on the way there. Dampkring has set itself apart from many of the coffeeshops that line the streets of Amsterdam. Many of these establishments are dark, overcrowded, and some even intimidating. Dampkring has turned this stereotype on its head. The venue is bright, spacious, and clean. The interior draws from Arabic, Bohemian, and Buddhist sources to create a tranquil and relaxing vibe. On top of this, the staff are helpful and super friendly.

Even experienced smokers will be shocked by the size of the menu. There’s a long list of strains, including Cheese, Sour OG, AK-47, Bubba Kush, and Gorilla Glue #4. The menu describes the taste, smell, and effect of every item—you’ll know exactly what you’re buying.

3. Paradox Coffeeshop

If you want to soak up the sights and sounds of Amsterdam's canals while also blazing on some top-grade weed, then Paradox is the coffeeshop for you. In fact, few coffeeshops truly capture the chill vibe of Dutch life, so it's a welcome change from the flashy neon signs of more tourist-focused establishments.

If the mood alone isn’t enough to convince you Paradox is worth a shot, then wait till you try their one-gram space cakes. Not only are they delicious, but they provide a genuinely intense ride, so be prepared! Besides space cakes, you'll find hash, pre-rolled joints (with and without tobacco), and several carefully selected flower strains, including Tangerine and CNA Kush.

4. Coffeeshop De Kade

Established over thirty years ago, Coffeeshop De Kade is an OG of the Dutch cannabis scene. And as soon as you set foot inside, the experience, class, and sophistication accumulated over the years are apparent. The entire place exudes quality, from the chic décor to the carefully tailored menu.

Speaking of the menu, De Kade has an excellent selection, with dozens of sativa and indica strains, hash, hash specials, and edibles. The red velvet cupcake is a must for people with a sweet tooth, but savoury lovers can also enjoy the De Kade sausage roll. If you prefer to keep things more traditional, then classic flower varieties such as Amnesia Haze, OG Kush, and The Original Z are a must.

5. Coffeeshop Bluebird

Situated in the heart of Amsterdam, it's hard to miss the Bluebird Coffeeshop. In fact, it's rarely quiet at Bluebird, which is a sign of both its central location and the popularity it's gained over the years. That popularity is fully justified, though, especially when you start delving into the extensive menu.

The mostly indica strains include Super Skunk, Purple Punch, and classics such as Amnesia Haze or Hindu Kush. On the sativa front, Georgie Pie and Blue Haze are popular picks. While they may not have the most diverse selection of edibles, there are still space cakes and muffins on offer. Finally, what they lack in sweet treats they make up for with their Moroccan hash selection.

6. 1e Hulp

1e Hulp brings chill to another level. The interior draws inspiration from East Asian design, with deep red colours and wooden decor lining the walls. The seating and tables are low to the ground, and the soft lights add just the right touch of illumination. Overall, this coffeeshop is a delightful place to blaze up. It’s a must when visiting the city.

Experienced smokers looking to shatter their tolerance won’t have much trouble. They offer incredibly potent moonrocks and infused hot chocolate with 70mg of THC. If you’re in the mood to get buzzed, try out their WIFI OG or Lindsay OG. If you fancy something chill, don’t miss out on the Pink Sunset and White Widow.

7. Tweede Kamer

Tweede Kamer is a highly respected coffeeshop, so much so that it featured in Zamnesia’s Coffeeshop Awards 2019. It’s located in the very centre of Amsterdam and has been serving locals and tourists since 1985. The venue made history as the first establishment in the city to start weighing and packaging their flowers, allowing customers to smell their products and view them up close.

Tweede Kamer boasts an extraordinarily comforting and classic interior. The wood-panelled tables and bar alongside old-school light fixtures add some serious character. The menu is extensive and has something for every taste. Choose from sativas such as Blackberry Glue Haze and Amnesia, and indicas like Girl Scout Choco and Choco Skunk.

8. La Tertulia

Raising the bar for style and elegance, La Tertulia offers a much more relaxed experience than many central coffeeshops. Opened in 1983, they've learnt a thing or two about what makes great cannabis, and that knowledge shines through when you look at their menu. From the excellent selection of cannabis flower to the hash, bubble hash, and edibles, there really is something for everyone.

One of the biggest appeals of La Tertulia is its location (312 Prinsengracht in the Amsterdam Jordaan), so we highly recommend taking your time to sit in and soak up the ambience. In fact, La Tertulia prides itself on a crystal garden that overlooks the canal. What could be better than watching the world go by and smoking some freshly rolled Kali Mist or Pineapple Kush?

9. Kadinsky

Kadinsky provides a relaxing and calming space. It’s an excellent coffeeshop to visit when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Although it’s a local attraction, the dark grey accents and low lighting make it easy to relax, take a breather, and get some time to yourself. The bar—positioned under several spotlights—stands out in the room, and large windows allow you to do some excellent people watching.

Pay it a visit and sample some Temple Ball Hash, Mango Haze, and AK-47.

10. 420 Cafe

420 Cafe is one of the most central coffeeshops in Amsterdam, which also means it’s one of the most accessible. It’s only a short walk from Centraal Station, and the first port of call for many smokers. The friendly staff give off a welcoming vibe, and the wooden decor and ceiling beams give it a “pub” feel. It’s a great spot to get super baked and simply chill out. There’s usually some rock music playing, and a screen playing nature documentaries.

The menu won’t disappoint. Try out the White Widow, 420 Haze, and Blueberry. 420 Cafe also offers hash and flower pre-rolls.

We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

At Royal Queen Seeds, we will not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data; however, the longest period we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years.

4.1 Account information

Data relating to the account remains relevant for as long as the consumer is in possession of an account. Therefore, the data remains documented for as long as the account exists. When our customers delete an account, the associated data will be deleted within a reasonable period of time.

In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
