The African Blackstar Coffeeshop

The best Coffee shop in Amsterdam. They have the best weed and good music. All the staff were very welcoming especially David. I think anyone coming to this country has to visit this shop.

Was recommended to come here by a friend and it did not disappoint! Loved it here such a chill atmosphere one of the chillest in Amsterdam, amazing bud too had to go back and buy more. Deffo worth a visit, I’ll definitely be coming back!

Very cool and interior is very nice and aestheticly pleasing the music and vibes are good

For the best weed in Dam PLEASE GO TO AFRICAN BLACK STAR!!!!! 10/10 Cali!!! This place does not mess about ! Do not bother searching around dam looking for the soft bud stanky cali... it's here !!!! BLACK STAR always stock at least 5 cali strains that are mouth watering! AFRICAN BLACK STAR IS A MUST VISIT & MUST BUY FOR THE BEST DANK!!!

I'm enthralled with this shop! The dude who worked on the counter the day I was there was such a gentleman! He's got some pretty dope weed and pre-rolls, and he kicked a guy out when he came up to me out of nowhere, asking me for spare cash for a joint. The guy is truly a star! Thank you for standing up for me and for the smooth joint. I will definitely come back to visit!

15 min walk from Dam Square. Great selection. Comfortable, clean and inviting atmosphere. Added to my list of things to do when I’m in town for sure.

Joseph was a lovely bud tender,great communication and massive help and very friendly;absolutely made my experience and day a billion times better Brilliant shop been multiple times over multiple trips great menu everytime with good range of variety and price Great shop with room downstairs

Good vibes and nice workers. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a good experience here in Amsterdam. Super chill spot.

Such a friendly atmosphere, really helpful staff too. Just a shame we didn't have much time to be able to go back before we flew home. Lx

Love the vibe!!! The Bubba Kush was legit

It's was easy to get to. I took the tram line 2 and walk a short distance. I passed it, but the smell told me I was near so I stopped and looked up and there it was. The guy at the counter is very friendly. Since.i don't smoke, he suggested the brownies or the donuts. I opted for the donuts.

A lovely coffee filled with blessed tunes and vibes! I got a g of rainbow sherbet and it was a good smoke. I trust these guys. Will definitely be coming back when I visit Amsterdam again :)) recommended!! Will always support black owned businesses ❤️❤️

Here to say this for the 3rd time after they delete negative reviews. Absolutely scam master rudest people around and the worst week ever. Do not waste your time or money on scammers with some of the worst weed in Amsterdam. The only reason they have 4 1/2 star is due to them deleting anything negative related to the store

My friend and I were in Amsterdam for two days and decided to stop by on our last night. Perfect timing too, because there was a huge storm and the king and queen were arriving in town. We walked into this place and were assisted by the lovely Johnson. Such a nice dude!! I bought the brownie and my friend got the pre-rolled sativa joint. Im not really a smoker and have taken edibles less than 5 times. The brownie took about an hour and a half to kick in but once it did, holy smokes, I was very high LOL. I kid you not, I was stoned for 16 hours. Not a mellow kind of stoning but SUPER high. We had a great time in the city, though! Definitely recommend this place. Go say hi to our friend Johnson!! Sincerely, The girls from Switzerland and the US! :)

Lovely shop, attentive customer service! Will definitely visit again! Would have been 5 stars if they had herbal mix but very minor for the overall experience!

Great menu, cool staff. Doughnuts didn't touch me or my mate though and we ate all 6 each haha. But I have found edibles don't often hit me so not trying to slam these guys as its a great coffeeshop with a very good priced menu.

Good flower, good hash, good vibes, good prices, the doughnuts didn’t work though, and 4 different people tried them. Idk if it was just bad luck or whatever. But they didn’t do anything to any of us. Would go back if I was ever in Amsterdam again

Lad serving there was great, very nice and helpful. I bought the 6 pack of mini doughnuts. Good variety on menu. Will definitely make this a regular place now i know where it is

Lovely place to go for a smoke, rates are good and can't complain about anything inside either

The doughnuts are amazing, got some really nice strains too.

I spent Juneteenth touring dispensaries in Amsterdam, basking in the afterglow of the Renaissance Tour the night before. Blackstar is where I decided to vibe for most of the day. The space is small but the selection is cool and the staff friendly. The music is great and the soundtrack of downtempo hip hop and R&B is kinda exactly how I wanted to spend my day. The upstairs space can get kind of busy, but it's cute if you post up in the corner. The downstairs space seems like it can get stuffy but there weren't enough people down there to make it so when I went in. As for the dispensary selection, it was among the betters of my tour. The Cheetah Piss? Bar none. My friends and I are still talking about it. lol.

I've tried many Coffeeshops pre-rolls over the last couple of years and just tried a pure one here last night. It was BY FAR the BEST tasting pre-roll I have had! So impressed, and the quality of the roll itself was great. Great prices and quality on loose bud as well.

BEST PLACE I HAVE VISTED THIS YEAR. Terrific staff, friendly staff and an incredible menu with high quality product and fair prices.

Great customer service , atmosphere and product ! Best Black owned Coffee Shop I have ever been too !

This was my first coffee shop that I visited in Amsterdam. I had such a brilliant time here. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the two guys that were there (i forgot their names unfortunately) were very nice and accommodating. I chose the blue basquiat and that was AMAZING. This is the only coffee shop i will be going to when i return to Amsterdam. I highly recommend them!!!

When I see too guy Johnson and Donna the ambiance is more different good energie and smiling faces. They now how to take care of costumer’s. If they not working I don’t like sitting here. Pay attention to my comment please

super chill place and the guy at the counter was very nice which i can not say about all the coffee shops we’ve been to. i recommend going here!

Good times in this coffeeshop. Good music

Great service. Easy on the eyes

One of our favorite coffee shops, the best place to get proper JAMAICAN sensi!

Great vibe✨ Nice chilled atmosphere

Beautiful shop, I always come back for the Rinse sativa its the best. Very nice employees and good coffee

Blackstar is an amazing coffeeshop with nice customers and a good vibe. I would recommend you to go and have a look!

Friendly staff, one of the only coffee shops which still lists a description of potential effects. Better coffee would definitely elevate this spot. We sat out, so not sure what inside seating is like.

Love this place it has a great vibe, and the staff are friendly.The basement lounge is key. Would highly recommend this Coffeeshop

The Arican Blackstar Coffeeshop is home far away from home!! Good quality weed with very fair prices and all of the vibes

Great place, friendly and respectful young staff. I had an exceptional experience. Plus, location is just right.I highly recommend it :)

Fair prices!! Amazing staff. I recommend this coffeeshop. Great African vibes too..

I visited Amsterdam for a short period of time; me and my girlfriends found this amazing shop. The locals raved about it. The customer service was amazing. They answered all the questions we had and my friends enjoyed everything about. 12/10 highly recommend

All the way from Tanzania, asantee sana for you guys making us feel at home! We had such a great time. Definitely all the African vibes

A very welcoming and friendly staff! We came here several times during our stay in Amsterdam, it was a great place to chill. We only the pre-rolls but they were great. Imogen was lovely, thank you ✌️

God pot!

Friendly, great priced. First visit, here on holiday.

English lady was spot on with recommendations good spot and locations must try

fair prices and really nice location! recommend

Comfy place good stuff, friendly staff ! Try the mendo breath asap. It's almost magic

My new favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. The staff were so friendly and helpful (especially the English girl). A real hidden gem. The price to quality ratio is much better than other shops this close to the city.

I visited in hopes on supporting a black owned business only to encounter a very rude hostess that refused to acknowledge whether me and answer whether or not the business was open or offer assistance in purchasing. There was construction going on but guests out front. Ended up leaving.

Very friendly. Lots of variety. Worth a vist

Wasibg amazing pricez

Great Customer service, super friendly, answered all questions I had about Amsterdam! Please visit you'll be glad you did. (:

Nice place with nice people.

the best coffe to buy weed, high quality, high flying and cheaper than others sites. nice guy and very explicative about the effects, hands up

Me and my friends visited Amsterdam for 4 Days and unfortunately found this coffeeshop on our last day. The prices were the lowest i have seen but the quality was still better than every coffeeshop we went to (we went to alot of coffeeshops). They also have Moonrocks and homemade Brownies for a very good price. There were only one guy working there but he was very chill and informative. I talked to a local in front of the coffeshop and he besides the size of the shop (they were only open for takeaway due to corona regulations) he had nothing bad to say about them. Shame that we got ripped off at other coffeeshops before but for the next time i for sure know where to go!

Great shop, lovely employees

Good value for money Stuff is very friendly

Good weed, nice people, what else do you need?

Yesterday I bought white widow there and it doesn't working at all. You sell CBD here? My wife normally don't smoke and she wasn't high too.

One of the most authentic coffeeshops I've been to in Dam. Most seem to cater to tourists and end up ripping off customers. These guys have a relatively small set-up but a good one.

We bought purple haze and Jamaican sensi, and it was one of the worst weed we ever received. There were even seeds in it which is not a good sign.

Pink runtz best weed im Amsterdam by miles

First of all they're Very kind And second- they play the best music in the city

Excellent service, they do need to update the place but it's a peaceful place and they have a guy called Nana such a great spirit and even got a drink for my wife for her birthday which was great touch and I would be coming back soon

Nice place chill music +bong pretty good downstairs has TV so its nice addition

Best high I had in the whole of a 3 day stay. Love this joint.

Ohh Nice place I was there n smoke my Blunt lol try visit too✌️☺️

Great customer service! Very good quality buds! Will return.

Went here because of an article from Travel Noire. This was a great place with a nice variety. DO NOT go to the atm across the street. They charged me $30 to take out $100. Get cash before you go because they don’t take cards. Other than that, everything was great!

Best shop of Amsterdam!! I always enjoy my moment inside. Best service and verry nice, and most important best stuff !!!!

Great place, great prices, friendly and cozy with a dub reggae vibe. Unlike the mainstream tourist oriented industry of Centrum

Nice service, but 10 euros on a brownie and nothing happened

Fantastic coffee shop! The guy behind the counter provides excellent service and is genuinely nice to talk to. A little outside the city centre so it doesn't seem to get overly packed. Really nice products as well. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Nice little coffee shop near Anne Frank's. The dude at the counter very nice, sorted me out a much needed tea. Simple decor inside with ragga vibes.

hands down Best Kept Secret Amsterdam Rai story time at the touristy stuff but if you want stuff that rivals Californian & Vancouver go here say hello to Brite (Bright)

Ducked in here to hide from the rain, the owner (I assume, it seemed like a one-man operation) was extremely hospitable and treated us so kindly. Had a decent cup of coffee and a nice relaxing sit down. Not the most high end coffee shop in the world, but for a quick relaxing sit down its a good place to be. If your not a fan of the cannabis scene the obviously its not a good place to be, but even if you don't smoke and don't mind the smoke, I will still recommend just for the smiles.

There isn’t much too it, but they know what they are doing. It’s one of the more quiet coffee shops and less touristy, which is really great if you’re looking for a close to local experience. The staff are really helpful and the strains are pretty solid in effect and also selection. If you’re in the Jordaan and need green, go here!

Ya man ..respect! Very nice people..they teach me to roll the perfect hash joint. Much love. Peace

Best Coffeeshop I’ve ever been! friendly staff! And great muffins! it looks like a classroom! awesome!

i go here often, good place, good weed, hash and music.

Hands down one of the best coffeshops in Amsterdam real nice sitting area in the front, some of the best prices for amazing buds. Must go in Amsterdam less than 5 minute walk from Ann frank house

This place is an icon of Amsterdam, if you dont visit this shop and tune into the vibe, you only saw 1/2 of the city. Respect !!!

Great spot to pick up a little special product for your Amsterdam adventure. I used to buy a lot of Sputnik (great value for money) but recently I haven't enjoyed it as much. Still a favorite place to get my product

caribean/african style here. God stuff and prices. Try jamaican sensi.
