What travelers are saying

Worth the trip here where ever you are in Amsterdam just for the space cakes alone

Super friendly, super helpful and the spice cake was delicious and effective!

Best coffee shop in town in Jordaan area chilled out atmosphere, small cozy with a good variety of weed and table games to play .

Very nice coffee shop, large selection, STRONG items. Space cakes are legit but VERY strong, proceed with caution and have a good time.

Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods
such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring
