We bought drinks here, but no weed, though I will next time. Take the No. 3 or 6 tram to Zeeburgerdijk, and you're just a block away. I hated the buzz-in door, and when one of the locals helped me out by opening it from the inside, it pinched my finger. But once inside, the place is really one of the hipper little joints in Amsterdam, in my opinion. We sat on the long couch near the front window and skinned up, then spent the next hour walking down the spectacular Dappermarkt, a lengthy strip of street vendors with a wide variety and distinctive Middle Eastern flavor, with Happy People located at the extreme north end. Albert Cuyp Market gets all the fanfare, but try Happy People and Dappermarkt, in that order. When you get to the extreme south end of the market, you also reach a stop for the Nos. 3, 6 and 10 trams, or can walk just a couple blocks east to catch the No. 9 tram, or just a couple blocks south to the Muiderpoorts metro train stop. Very convenient at both ends of Dapperstraat. Visited many coffee shops in Amsterdam and this one is definitely my favorite. It's a small place and there aren't many menu (food) items, but the weed is great and cheap compared to the rest of the city. By comparison, Bulldogs charges slightly more (12 Euros vs. 10) for smaller, pre-rolled, pure-weed joints. My brother and I were helped out quite a bit by an absolute sweetheart working at the bar named Bianca (from Suriname). She helped us with our rolling technique and threw in several freebies. The rest of the staff was extremely friendly, too. The crowd is cordial, mostly Moroccan and there will surely be a game of darts going on. The music is great in the evening if you are a fan of house/trance/jungle. The shop is small but comfortable, good selection and good weed. Orange juice is fresh and cold. Had the White Widow, recommended by the dealer and a few of the folks sitting at the bar. 7.50 euro and a great high. Smoked a 1/2 gram and watched the folks walking about. Shared the other 1/2 gram with a few at the bar since I needed to leave for the airport. Well worth the trip to find the place, prices are good and the weed was great. Will go back for sure on my next trip. I recommend the Happy People coffee shop. It's very small but very friendly and the Super Polm, it's really nice, try it. It was our first coffee when we arrived and our last one before we returned back. Try it! This place was heaving when I went and it was still early on a cold crappy day, the place opens at 7am. Went for "Crystal" weed 24 euros for 5 grammes. This is a no alcohol shop which is not great for me but I will return to sample further treats from the menu that matters. Called in here many times, very friendly place, good prices and most importantly, some quality smoke. The Super Polm is highly recommended. We've been welcomed there over the years. This is well outside the usual tourist areas but deserves a listing I feel, as the prices were perhaps the best in Amsterdam. During last year's World Cup it was fun to sit with the regulars and cheer. How to post comments
