This is a very pleasant Coffeeshop on the Herengracht with outdoor seating. It’s one of the few places in town that specializes in organically grown weed. I enjoyed the comfortable interior with nice cushions and pillows, hand painted tables by Zoe, and mellow music that set the mood.
Update: I visited the Amnesia again for one of their Vaporizer Parties. It was packed full of happy people toking up the clean vapors from two vaporizers kept going thanks to the Amnesia and the hard-working, knowledgeable folks from the Cannabis College.

The party was livened up by a guy outside playing the saw. Yes, the saw. It sounded real eerie, like a theramin or a sci-fi soundtrack. Inside a DJ was spinning mellow house music while a very good trumpet player was layin’ down some Miles Davis’ riffs which really made that house music fly with the jazz adding the needed melody.
Amnesia was also featuring it’s new fountain style drinks, the EXACT same kind we used to get back in the ol’ soda fountain daze in New York. We’re talkin’ da kine milkshakes, ice cream sodas, vanilla cokes, lime rickeys, malteds (I couldn’t resist a chocolate malt that took me waaay back), and most unusual for Amsterdam, the famous NYC egg cream!

What more could you want for the raving munchies, but a cool fountain drink to set it right. The fountain drinks alone will make me a regular there.
Smokewise the Amnesia has a good selection of organically grown pot including Bio Sage and Amnesia Haze. But the most impressive smoke I tried there was the King Hassan Supreme hashish (fresh, with an incredibly good taste), at 11 Euros a gram and their Ice-o-lator hash (18 Euros a gram – the most expensive smoke in the house). Skip the Manali (tastes like crap).
So sit back, have a great drink, a good smoke, and dig the music at the Amnesia!

Could be a very very nice place if the staff was more careful with clients who go in to taste for the first time and become stoned and sick . We ve have seen a 60 y.o american cpl taking very strong koint and get immediatlely sick…and they ‘ve sold us ” chocolate” very very strong …( get stoned 8 hours !!! and ruined our week end!!!)
so please , don’t sell everything to anybody .
Wise advices are important !!!
the best place in town
This was by far the best coffeshop I was in. The staff was great, they fixed me with the vaporizer “thanks John” just had a blast, I will be back.
After reading so many excellent reviews of this place i had to check it out. Boy was i impressed!!! This place is a gem, with excellent decor and drinks but most importently, good smoke. I was impressed with their ice-o-lator selection, from indica to indica/staive to pure sativa. I went with Natural Sin, sativa, at 35 euro a gram. It was well worth it, it was true FMCD but unpressed (for all you heads out there lol). Two thumbs up for this place
Easily the most comfortable coffee shop in Amsterdam. Great place to chill for a couple of hours. Fell in love with the girls behind the bar. Try any of the smoke here, it’s all good and the drinks here are great. Miss you already girls.
Amazing
After reading the reviews on this website, I knew this was the one coffeehouse that I wanted to find in Amsterdam. I was not disappointed. It is a little off the beaten path, but that makes the experience that much nicer. It’s located in a well-to-do residental section of Amsterdam. There are no other bars or coffeehouses located nearby, but trust me you’ll not want to visit other places. The smoke is first-rate. Try the NYCB, it was last year’s Cannibis Cup Winner. The smell and the taste were unlike anything I’ve had before. The banana milkshakes are also very good here.
Another class place with top bud.
MY HEAD IS STILL UP MY REAR month later
i’ve been smoking weed for about 20 years and i never had a regular coffeeshop, since 2,5 years this is my regular coffeeshop because the people are very friendly and the customers are very varieted the graas is great
My fovourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. The smoke is first class with a great selection of bongs for your smoking pleasure. The service is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is chilled and never too crowded. Those shakes are so good too when that stoned felling really hits you!
I was there with some seasoned buddies last October. This is the perfect place if you are not looking for a crazy druggie scene, but want to hang out, listen to good music, and taste the finest dam has to offer under the guidance of the always effervescent, Mr. Korrect. Not the biggest selection, but well selected high quality. We went to all the so-called best, but Amnesia was THE BEST. Coffee and juices were worth it as well.
The ONLY place in town
Nice place
what a great place! Not like all the other tourist slums. Nice staff who help you if you don’t have much experience!
great organic weed.
Very friendly and informative staff. They took their time explaining the menu to us. The atmosphere was mellow with locals who didn’t mind us american tourists. The smoke was great. A comfortable place to be stoned. We are definately looking forward to going back.
very nice place with good milkshake…and of course good weed :p
I can’t say enough good things about this place. “Mr. Correct” was the most helpful of all of the shop managers that I encountered. I had been dissapponted by quite a few recommended strains prior to arriving at Amnesia on my last day there. I tried a strain called Silver Blue on his recommendation. That particular strain was hands down the best tasting herb I smoked while I was there, which is exactly what I had asked for. If I would have known about this place when I arrived I probably wouldn’t have gone to too many other shops. It was that good. By the way “NO HARD DRUGS!!” are sold there. Which means no alcohol.
ey mamma i love you go on with the best coffeshop from amsterdam LOVE YOU KISSSS SHARONY
this coffeeshop is class!!! the atmosphere is chilled, not busy…..the milkshake was well deserved after several goes on the volcano vaporiser!!!must be tried by all who visit…one you wont forget any time soon!!!!
THIS PLACE WAS MY FAVORITE OF MY 4 DAY TRIP! THE FEMALE DEALER WAS VERY NICE. GREAT MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING AND A BEAUTIFUL RED INTERIOR. PERFECT FOR A COOL AFTERNOON WHEN YOU WANT A CUP OF COFFEE AND A SMOKE.(DID NOT BUY SMOKE HERE) THIS WILL BE THE FIRST PLACE I’M GOING TO STOP IN AT ON MY NEXT TRIP.
Lovely place for people of all ages, welcoming atmosphere and lovely hot drinks for old nights. I return every year to enjoy the potent and velvety hashish.
Amnesia is by far the best coffeeshop I visited in Amsterdam. Superb smoke, great atmosphere, not to mention incredibly friendly staff. They were helpful and never condescending. The place is really well decorated, making it a great place to chill and smoke after buying your weed. The milkshakes are also worth staying for. Definitely go here if you are visiting Amsterdam! (I strongly recommend the Silver Blue and NYCD)
try the amnesia haze and the mk ultra this year cup winnr
