Barraka Coffeeshop

Open now

Stumbled across this little gem and fell in love with it. All the ladies working there are unique in styles but all equally lovely. Service is top notch and the place has a great atmosphere for smoking. Pop in to see Spacey the cat alone

As a Native American (American Indian) i stumbled across this shop and obviously I had to stop in. Everything was great and the staff were friendly and non invasive. Great visit, will definitely come back.

Beautiful cosy coffee shop. If you can brave the original spiral staircase, up stairs is a nice place to sit and smoke with friends. Sometimes they have cats up there. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Really nice place, don’t get the bad reviews. The lady was so sweet and helpful, they have really cute lighters and the place has such a chilling and warm atmosphere. Also the weed is amazing.

Loved my Barraka "coffee" experience. 6 stars if I can. Good banter with the staff with 10/10 service. Me and my party all good a hug at the end of our trip too. Deffo comming back here again when next in Amsterdam. Will foreva be a awesome memory of mine.

Good vibes, saw loads of reviews taking about the owner, went as a party of 6 on numerous occasions and was very pleased with our choice, good music, great “Coffee” and the owner has good banter just may be getting misunderstood, would highly recommend checking it out

Worst coffee shop we visited. Bought a joint and we couldn't taste weed, opened both and they were only tobacco. Haze was also bad

Horrible place to visit! Woman was very unpleasant and rude to a customer just before I ordered. Guess I should have taken the hint. I ordered some higher quality stuff but because I'm from Ireland she must have thought she could give me the 'snicklefritz', so what I got instead was some amnesia haze and terribly grown by the way. Also ordered 2 joints off her mixed with tobacco but they weren't mixed with anything it was just a tobacco rollie

The woman who works there was a bit moody. The northern light weed there is very good and very chill. I smoked it in front of the shop on my table with a coke. After i was finish she cleaned my table and said nothing (moody). So after all: Weed and prices are fair i think. Service could be a bit better. Keep smiling lady :)

Dunno why everybody is hating on the personal.. talked to the owner when I was in Amsterdam für the first time and he was totally friendly and gave me an address for a lokal coffeeshop where I could get the best hash for decent prices!!! Absolutely not necessary!! Prices are pretty high hier yes, but atmosphere is chilled, the quantity of different hashes is decent and one of the biggest if seen till now. Would say it's worth a peak

Great coffee shop, owner was so nice, calm atmosphere and they have a cat

Nice coffee shop, only one pre-rolled choice available is the downside if you’re looking for that

Nice quiet coffeeshop. Didnt buy any smoke here, just met up with some friends who bought something. But nice atmosphere. Cool little kitty in there too!

Very good service, everything was perfect specially the lady working there amazing person

Got kicked out for not saying hi after having said just that. Staff was visibly too high to have a conversation.

the owner is a very good person and the quality is good, the chill is at its best, no one disturbs or shouts, with love from Italy the cat is amazing

Love this place. So laid back... Nice weed, nice coffee and a warm welcome.

Had a lovely time here as it was fairly close to our hotel. Lovely staff and an adorable cat called Spacey. Will be back!

I wish i could give cero stars, this was an awful experience, we went in to get a drink and smoke a joint we already had from before, when i went to the counter to get drinks, the woman told me “baby this is a coffeeshop here you come to smoke and get high, if you just wanna drink you have a mcdonalds down the street” i told her okay no problem and she just looked at us till we left the place. If you want to get a drink and smoke in a nice place please avoid this one. There are so many nice establishments with very nice people. Horrible.

extremely rude store owner…. barraka more like brakka

A very cool place with good ambient,the owner and the workers are so Happy and are cool,i liked the coffee here,first good coffee in days .

Don’t go to this shop, this is scam. I ask only for pre rolled pure, and they give me a pre rollet with 99% tobacco. No kidding this is just tobacco.

Bought a pre-rolled joint but it smelled terrible. After tearing it open there was no weed inside (we found 1 crumb) only dried out tobacco.

Loved our experience at Barraka Coffeeshop. The owner is an amazing lady. Positive vibes & music are the highlights of the place. Will surely visit this place again.

A message to all you people who scored this coffee shop as one star. The lady who owns the place is very friendly and polite. I can't thank Simone enough she was really helpful and we can't wait to visit Barraka again. Thanks again. Love from John & Louise x

Will miss spacey and little pom. Great little chill cafe. Friendly staff and owner. Space shake is lovely. Thank you for a great night

Favourite coffeeshop from my trip!! Super friendly staff and very knowledgeable about their menu and products. Good music, good vibes, very spacious and a coffee shop that isn't bursting with rowdy groups. Flower was incredible from low priced to premium bud was all really good from this shop couldn't recommend more (Thanks for the umbrella!)

My friends and I went into the shop and the lady just looked at us and said ‘you no’ and to the people behind us ‘you yes’. Really rude and this ruined it for us. She waved us out and that was it.

Nice little quiet coffee shop with probably the best coffee. Place was nice and staff were friendly. Certainly the place for the more mature smoker as opposed to young people in groups.

Awful, so rude and aggressive. Actually a little scary, I’ve been living here for years and never had such a negative experience. Please avoid for you safety.

Te worst coffee shop in Amsterdam. The owner was a really impolite. I do not recommend coming here for any reason. You have a lot of options for smoking without problems in this city, so, avoid Barraka.

The owner was really nice, a bit quiet but he was just vibing out to the tunes, the flower, was labelled under a mud/strong and it was a haze which usually gives me a bad head but this was was very very nice, there was a cat that came and sat with us, in all was very nice and chill

Super rude old guy with glasses. I decided to speak in English since I was with friends that didn’t understand Dutch. He thought I wouldn’t understand Dutch and because he was having a hard time understanding me and I was taking my time choosing, he became impatient and said I was not normal (In Dutch) out loud. Since politeness was not a virtue from his side and according to the reviews, not the first time, I decided to laugh it off and buy the pre rolled ones. And btw it was mainly just tobacco. So never again. Don’t come here.

I would give zero stars!!! Don’t buy there it’s a scam!! We bought 3 spacecakes and there should be 0.4 grams in there but they didn’t even had an effect. They were very unfriendly and didn’t even explain what’s really in there. It’s a scam be careful.

Empty Coffeeshop because quality and service are low a.s.f. ! Not good atmo and quality of hash and Weed was terrible Like the Mad service from old Guy with Glases was Just angry. No Time, very pressure to buy there old dry hash and buds for high price. Truly stay away from this Shop. Pity Indid Not read the Bad Feedbacks here before

Bought a pre rolled joint for €6 thinking it was a fair price. As soon as I bought it he said we had to leave and couldn't smoke in there. When I then came to smoke the joint it looked and smelt like it was full of tobacco. I waited till I got back and tore it open and it was literally just pure tobacco (no exaggeration). Total rip off merchant and would definitely never visit again.

Small place! The guy running it was very pleasant and funny. It was right next to our hotel !

If you are a lover of good things, do not hesitate to come, it is a mandatory stop, quality, very good price, kindness and the site where you will find what you are looking for...

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Terribly terribly rude owner. wouldn’t allow us to be at his premises unless we bought a significant amount of weed. He Even forced the people in our group that dont smoke to buy weed from him, the tea and coffee they hadn’t purchased apparently wasn’t enough to earn them a seat. Taking Advantage of tourists, all while being extreme rude to everyone. DO NOT GO HERE!!

The owner told us that he will not serve us because we were not sure what we wanted to drink and we were choosing the drinks for too long and that he couldn’t care, there was no one in the line behind us as well. We didn’t do or say anything inappropriate, we just took a bit longer to order. Absolutely bad experience, don’t go here, there are plenty of other coffees nearby where they appreciate clients.

Top notch! I realized I never had real hash ! Feeling like a new born ! Amazin'!

Very chill atmosphere and really cool interior design

Cofee super chill good wibes and good weeds !

I would never go there again. If you take a photo for review, the rude owner will kick you out and humiliate you publicly. And the coffee was just so so. Not worth the price and horrible experience. Stay away.

Awesome coffeeshop , really nice vibe inside , nice staff and has a sleeping cat on their own dedicated chair.

Super friendly stuff, nice weed and really good music

amazing vibe and service .. also amazing choices of weed

A nice older gentleman greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. I had high hopes and good vibes. Unfortunately, we had Such a terrible experience here. Our group went in to find if there was room (6 of us) and we were about to go down from the lounge and purchase after settling and arriving moments ago. The female staff member did not take kindly to us from the start (not even a group of Americans). She rudely told us that we had to buy something, of which I immediately smiled and obliged and she still had an awful attitude. A few of us made purchases. About 15 minutes later, she returned to kick us out for absolutely no reason, because we “weren’t buying anything and would we behave this way in our own country?”. She said we were preventing them from making money. She said there were other groups waiting for our spots because we were “taking up all the space”. Offput and very confused, we kindly complied and left… and there were definitely no groups waiting for our spot…. Literally no one. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I’d never had someone behave so ugly. Overall, just a very negative experience which has never happened to me in Amsterdam before now. I hope the owner knows that this employee will lose them money, and she absolutely did. For being in a very touristy area, you’re going to need tolerant and polite employees and we are completely reasonable people…. Prices were reasonable I thought, but when you have so many great options In the area, think twice about going here if you don’t want to be treated poorly. I recommend purchasing & leaving if you associate with the business at all. I will not be returning and will strongly discourage any others from visiting. Edit: I see now there are many reviews about a rude and unwelcoming female employee here, and that hasn’t changed as of this review. Wanted to mention that the music was upbeat and enjoyable for those curious.

visited 5 shops in amsterdam in one day and one was by far my favorite one. super chill vibe, very friendly staff and the house cat is the cherry on top of the pie. if you’re in amsterdam looking for a good shop, i definitely recommend this one

man the customer service is great. I love the ho.e made cakes. very string

Verry nice

The best coffeeshop in town!! A must go when in Amsterdam

Barraka coffeshop is located on Gravenstraat (Grave Street), a small side street near Dam Square. The street is closed to automobiles, though it is heavy in foot traffic given its proximity to key Amsterdam attractions. One end of this street leads to De Nieuwe Kerk. This translates as The New Church. Contrary to its name, this is a famous and old church-turned-museum, concert, and exhibition hall. At the other end of this street is Nieuwendijk (New Dike), a busy section of the city’s most popular shopping district.

Great place. Love the cat ❤

They tried to sell us gelato and it was ammi or haze!! 30euro... cookie was good tho

This is my most favourite place to be in the world! An absolute gem in the centre of Dam, great atmosphere that is filled with intention and love. The owner was super friendly and attended to us at every given moment. I found myself constantly wanting to be there to soak up the rich culture and soul soothing reggae, all encapsulated in one space. I've officially made it my getaway spot and will be returning at least twice a year. Thank you Hans for making us feel at home!

Cool and okay

Great little gem off of Dam square, great food, super friendly staff, and affordable. Not the best bud, but still respectable and the pancakes more than make up for that.

Good location right by dam sq. All the weed smelled the same, like freshly cut grass. When challenged on it the dealer agreed they all smell the same but he doesn’t smoke so he doesn’t know. Didn’t purchase.

Small coffee shop but nice

Nice coffeeshop with some tasty bubblegum & the best budtender in Amsterdam

Small coffee shop with a decent selection of things to try. Worth a visit.

Grungy little coffeeshop in Winnetou-style, very sweet and cozy. Tasty cake, good coffee. With house- cat :)

Really friendly people ... it has a chilled vibe and we seemed to keep coming back to this one! Definitely worth a visit!

Best coffee shop! Went with mum and it was our favourite spot. Super friendly and helpful- accommodating too when we had missed our flight and returned quite late!
