Coffeeshop Balou

Good service. Certainly good coffee.

Nice staff and emp too. A.M.G....really nice one!

cozy, welcoming, hhiiiiiiiii

Low key but don’t underestimate. Good coffee, good beats, super chilled staff. Feels like it’s someone’s local. Guess it’s yours, if you’re there.

Very beautiful and comfortable place! Buddy staff and very very good weed! You must stay in this place if you are looking for relaxing time

Good hash, good hip hop music and nice staff. Not a lot of seating space at the moment while they renovate upstairs but it's not too busy there so a nice place to chill on your own or with a couple people.

Great place, great atmosphere,, loveley people..!! Love it..!!

Nice Local Shop. Friendly Stuff and very helpfull! Thanks to the Italy Guy. :-)

Top coffeshop! Riccardo is the best

Nice quality bud, especially the pre rolled. Ricardo was very friendly and gave us plenty of advice about the rules when smoking the herb.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE. they didn't have any lemon haze when we went but I tried Amnesia and fell in love with it

Too many years ago I first entered Balou ! My memories are fantastic. The staff is amazing, even Fox. We now have legal weeds here in Boston but I look forward to a return to the BALOU soon. Hope all is well. Dan

Lovely small place that is generally tourist free. Has a nice sitting area in the top where you can just spend hours. Very friendly staff and near lots of great eateries

Nice to chill... I love it ... Very friendly

An unigue place with nice looking second floor for chilling

Best weed I've tried in Amsterdam. Good price, nice staff.

My favourite coffee shop in Amsterdam. It's unpretentious. The workers inside didn't try hard to help us which was fine. The area upstairs to hang out is very nice. Everyone has taken a rolling paper, written something on it and stuck it to the walls. The music is often nice and it's not too loud.

Lovely staff. Affordable. Tried amnesia haze and blueberry haze and was satisfied with both. This place has a great mood, loved coming back here while visiting Amsterdam. The upstairs is the best part of this store!!!

Some great choices, good prices. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great vibe, music and décor.

Great location. Beautiful store. However, Lack of knowledge from staff. Cero customer service. Pre-rolls are a joke! Waste of money and time

The people were nice but I bought what I thought were four marijuana joints but they had little effect so I opened them up and they were mixed with tobacco. At the bottom it was all tobacco. Disgraceful.

Cozy. Selection is nice, and so is the manager. A bit small, however.

Nice place, a bit away from the crowded coffeeshops in the city centre, but still reasonable close to everything.

This place is wicked - it was right next to our hotel, so became a local haunt for my girlfriend and I while we were away. It has a really relaxed atmosphere, with a killer 2nd floor. The smoke is good here too, but for me the atmosphere was the selling point, especially at night. If you're planning on spending quite a while there, I'd recommend getting a seat downstairs - trust me those tight spiral stairs can be perilous.

Nice 2nd floor and staff

A nice and humble coffeeshop without the "ganja man, weed and greens and get stoned"-image. Popped in for some space cakes. I was not dissapointed. Quality all the way.

The only coffeeshop! My fiancee and I are true lovers of the herb and the atmosphere that should come with it. Don't tell your friends and keep it to yourself and keep this place a hidden gem.Katie & Chris. Balou.xcx.

A great place. A totally different experience from the coffee houses that cater to American college students. A laid back experience with a friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi. They were tolerant of my terrible Dutch. Other customers, mostly locals, readily strike up a conversation and/or offer some advice on sightseeing and rolling. If I find myself in Amsterdam again...this is my place.
