  2. The only Coffee shop where I found Kif. Yum. The dealer was very shady though and weighed my purchase just out of sight so I could not tell for sure if it was an honest weight. Nice fat bongs that where hardly sterile but packed a punch and the place has not been cleaned since Willie Nelson dropped in. Buy your weed here and smoke it anywhere but here.

  3. Obviously the people who gave the Grey Area a bad service rating didn’t do their homework before comming to the Netherlands. For people who do understand a different culture, the service was on par for Amsterdam. Yeah it was slow, but who cares? All service in Amsterdam is slow, that’s the point. I found the place great, when there weren’t loud mouth Brits and Americans in the place. During the off hours it is a prime place to chill. My advice, get a gram of the very fine greyberry, a cola, sit down, roll a fatty, and watch the world go by. Plus, there is a great choclatier across the street. However, be warned in advance. English speakers feel more comfortable here. This means that non-cultured idiots are the norm. Over many days of hanging out I noticed that the Grey Area has a high local clientel. However, the locals buy and leave. Ultimately that would be my advice. Get a couple grams, go for a nice walk and look at the amazing art at the Van Gogh museum.

  5. i love this place but… theres shit service and there’s shit service but this was ridiculous..I asked for 3 cups of tea when arrived in there waited about 45 mins, no joke, so went asked the pothead behind the counter what was up..he said they were coming.. so he eventually produced 2 not 3 cups of coffee not tea, so i had to wait another how long for my cup. 2o mins later it still didnt arrive so asked him in it wasnt easier if i didnt have a bottle of juice or something instead of a tea to which he happily obliged, popped a top for me and finally i sat down with my juice. worse service was maybe the grey area then..rest was colourful <333

  6. the “grey haze” was great kinda over-priced a little but it was worth it… i was a little disapointed with the “nederhash” i got from there.nice bongs there.

  15. Hmm what can I say…in short:

    Great weed.
    Crap service.
    Small and cramped.

    Me and a friend went in the day and it was quiet. But this didn’t stop the bald guy behind the counter taking about 15 mins to serve us – he was talking to a local and just pretended we were not there. He then took about 20 mins to get us a simple bottle orange and got the order wrong. He was pretty offish and rude really. Kind of felt like punching him a bit! To be honest I thing the staff in coffeeshops can often be quite rude – maybe they are too stoned or have it too easy but it is inexcusable.

    The shop is small and not very comfy. I couldn’t see myself spending much time there since I like to lounge a bit when stoned – not sit in chairs out of a school canteen. Music was a mixed bag. The Dutch seem to like way too much rock for me. I like something mellow and dance oriented but this is hard to find in the Dam.

    The weed however was superb. The Double Bubbglegum thru one of their excellent bongs had us flying to the ceiling and grinning insanely.

    Maybe a place to buy and go. I won’t go back purely because I believe in punishing rudeness.

  16. WITH A HIGH REPUTATION TO UPSOLD I FOUND THIS COFFEESHOP O BE JUST AS EXPECTED…ONLY SMALLER. BUT THATS THE BEEYOOTY OF THE DAMS COFFEESHOPS. IT WOULD BE BORING IF THEY WERE ALL THE SAME LIKE A MCDONALDS OR SMETHING RIGHT? THIS IS JUST MINS AWAY FROM DAM SQ. A LOT EASIER TO FIND THAN I THOUGHT. NICE PEEPS IN THERE SERVING. CHAIRS A BIT UNCOMFY THOUGH.

  17. Dont visit this coffee shop, you idiot tourists bug me too much. This place has the best weed in amsterdam, but ive never smoked johns hash as ive never seen him smoke it ;).
    But. at 7.50 a gram, this place is awsome, and everyone always bitchs about service and shit, dude just get a fucking soda, john is always fucking so nice to me, cause i dont go in their and act like an idiot and scream and shit like msot americans do (im allowed to say this, im an american orginally).
    When im so stoned off my ass i cant manage, wich i always am after a fucking third gram of this guys weed shared amongst many folks, he always helps me out and shit Oh and if you stand at the bar for 10 minutes, ull get a table, just relax and set your bong on a stool and get high, this aint coke brotha, no need to be so whiney! BEST COFFEE SHOP EVER! I only buy grass here.

  22. What’s the big deal? The weed was shakey and the dealer fucked up on my orders a few times, underweighing grams, and the scale wasn’t even in plain sight. I tried to only go here because John’s from my town, but I didn’t think the bud was all that it’s jacked up to be. Plus all the local custys were really aggrevating.
