Basjoe Coffee Shop

Great location, horribly unfriendly staff. Asked for basic information about the strains and got told to look at a board with strain names on it. If you are a beginner or just want to know what you are smoking, don't go here you will be very disappointed.

Really unfriendly, I watched people walk out due to the ignorance of the one man band working there, i believe he is the owner, but he was so unapproachable. With friendly, approachable staff, this place could be busy and a nice space. However, the energy of the guy there petrified the air for everyone thinking of entering, the guy needs to chill or let someone else take the job. He looks at everyone with aggression. He also says his card machine doesn't work but forgets it doesn't work again and took the card when a client refused to pay cash. Also ZERO wifi. Worst coffee shop in Amsterdam

Staff were super unfriendly and told me I can not even sit by ordering coffee but have to order weed. They should write on a signboard “no weed no seat”.

Super friendly, has a good espresso machine and offers oat milk! Always have chats with people when I go for a “coffee”. Shout out to Daphne for being kind and friendly and really helpful with questions about Amsterdam!

Do they even read their reviews or do they just hate their customers? They guy who bought this place clearly RUINED it. Take a hint, new team get out. Also stop abusing the review mechanism by removing legitimate reviews. These guys ruined my favorite spot in Amsterdam.

Hands down my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Very relaxed vibe inside with a good selection of drinks. Some seating area outside which was great for sitting in the sunshine. Staff were always helpful and friendly each time we went in, we always felt welcomed.

Managed to bag the comfy area at the back of the shop. Great selection of weeds avaliable at reasonable prices. Definitely had the best atmosphere of any shop I visited

Used to be a huge fan of basjoe. Every time i come from California I show up here. Used to have a very kind female employee that was plesent and professional. NOT the case with whatever guy was working there now. He was super rude and seems to dislike tourists? Very had a super bad attitude even after spending like 150 euros for their subpar overpriced weed. Atmosphere was terrible and he was even rude infront of my husband! Ruined my whole day. My advice is fire whatever guy is working there in the mornings like every recent review says. Wont be returning which sucks because i used to be a super fan.

Great Coffeeshop, friendly staff, delicious and vegan friendly coffee. Always pleasant to sit here. I’ve met so many interesting people from around the world here .

*went in 2023, owner reported my 1 star review (unsurprisingly) The guy running this place (guy w/ short hair) talks to his customers like they need to beg for good customer service lol. We bought some AK-47 and it was terrible! Had this exact same strain in Spain (where im from) and this Basjoe “AK-47” was boof! Completely unsmokeable. Smells like hay and honestly smokes like brick weed lol. “You need to buy a drink to sit” is the most unbelievable statement ever. As if buying a gram of their overpriced strain isnt enough. Guys, if you enjoy great weed and great vibes, do yourself a favor, do not come here. There are so many friendlier and better price to performance coffeeshops than basjoe Yes I am quite upset by how I’ve been treated.

I'm weed abstinent for 2 years. Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of a close friends and to join the vibe I bought some CBD at Basjoe. The "CBD" is no CBD! I unexpectedly got very high and had to fight against a bad trip. My friends with a high tolerance tasted the "CBD" today and got very high too. This is a certificate of Unprofessionalism.

The only good thing about this place was tafna that worked there she is AMAZING so loving and polite, however the black guy is so so rude and basically ruining whole experience 0/10 because of him

Love this place!! firstly the staff are super super friendly which as anyone who has been to Amsterdam knows, this isn't always the case with staff in various coffeeshops. They are always open for a chat and offering a smile

Very rude staff, we left after one minute because they haven’t been able to reply to any of our questions nicely. Disappointed

ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN AMSTERDAM TO CHILL WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND HAVE FUN TALKING WITH THE EMPLOYEES, THEY NEED NEW HASH MENU ❤️ BUT WEED HAS BEEN ALWAYS BETTER THAN SOME OTHERS COFFEESHOPS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHONCHO DAPHNE

Friendly staff, flower space cake and at a decent price, good chilled atmosphere with comfy seats and decent music and even let you charge your phone. Recommended for travelers and locals

Good weed. Bad service. Been to around 10 coffee shops the past 2 days and this is the unfriendliest by far. The owner appears to have very little interest in his customers. Been twice in 6 months and got the same annoying attitude each time. Just a weird vibe with zero care shown (130 euros later). Not a good experience and not returning for a third visit! There are so many shops locally that value custom from locals and tourists, so don’t go here as you’ll probably regret it.

Great music and enjoyed the vibe here. Lovely fresh mint tea. Prices seem reasonable. Staff were friendly not rude or aggressive like some other reviewers experienced.

Don’t go! I strongly recommend NOT to go. It was a frustrating experience. We didn’t event order anything. One of the waiters was very rude with us. Told us that we needed to have something to stay without even giving us time to decide how to order and said it in a very unpolite way. Also without a reason, he took the menu from our hands in a very violently so we decided not to have the coffee there. It seems we took the menu card from a place that we couldn’t by mistake but there was not a justified attitude from the beginning without explaining it properly to us.

Recommended: Pure sativa joint

The owner of this establishment needs to pay attention to the reviews, they all say the same thing. The Asian guy behind the counter is a complete jackass, he needs to go. Sucks that such a nice place can be ruined by the rude and inconsiderate people that work there.

We asked for lite and fun cupcake and we got what we asked for

This is our new favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam City. Very chilled, some awesome stuff for sale

Fantastic products and a good vibe.

One Star is to much, verry Unfriendly unfortunate. We wanted to Drink Coffe but got kicked out for no reason, dont go there!!

Suck, very poor experience. Staff’s attitude and service… No comment at all. Bought a coffee from this ridiculous store. I was asked to leave and couldnt drink their coffee in their store, funny huh?

Excellent selection, chilled vibes, good music, great drinks and cakes on offer

If I can rate zero, I would. Rude guy running this store. He couldn’t answer a single question. Don’t go there. Much better places around.

Refurbished since the last time I was here, still lovely, and has a great menu.

Rude and aggressive staff. This of the only Coffeeshop we’ve visited that we’ve experienced aggressive behavior and it’s incredible how you manage to be so aggressive considering all the joints they smoke.

Comfortable and not far from the red light district, nice to use as youre passing through

Super comfortable and friendly coffeeshop. Basjoe reminds me of coffeeshop culture from the good old days where you're made to feel welcome, you can see what you're buying and you can relax and have a good time. I'm not into edibles anymore, but their rainbow cake looked amazing.

The owner is very rude and impolite..Never seen anyone in my life with this obnoxious attitude. There are plenty of other shops who will be way cooler so don't make the mistake of going there.

Really cool place, but the people who work here are really mean and negative vibes. I will never came back again.

great weed, great atmosphere, amazing tea and really friendly staff. Definitely the best coffeeshop I've been to.

I didn't go there for it, but they also have amazing hot chocolate!

Just to say: they gave me a good time Amsterdam real experience!

Nice and friendly staff, Never smoked before, so they helped me out by choosing something light for start. Perfect hot chocolate and great hot tea with honey. I reccomend.

The guy did not support to have 6 black girls coming into his empty shop on a Friday night. Was rude, was making us feel like we’re taking to long to choose as if his shop was busy. It was not, there was just two white people. The racist literally said “go back to Paris” - which I am not from. The weed is poor quality - no trichomes to be seen.

The most unfriendly staff I have ever witnessed. He complained about everything single thing. If you don‘t like working with people go search for another job wtf…

One of the best Coffee shops in Amsterdam. This place is usually quiet and has open place to sit even on friday nights.

One of my favorites. Great selection of top quality weed. Seats are comfy and it is never too busy.

Nice music, nice vibe. Good cakes. Edit: removing stars as I went there again and this time the service wasnt good.

First stop of our Amsterdam weekend and the weed was nicely priced and the atmosphere was nice. Staff are friendly and informative.

I 'heard' it was one of the better coffeeshops based on some YT reviews. And it is! Lady who served me was friendly and cool and I was able to chill - Recommend

Very nice coffeeshop with comfy places to sit (I recommend the couch in the back). The weed is good and has good prices, staff are generally nice but thy give you attitude some times.

Nice on the inside it’s a shame about the staff they aren’t. I used to like this place but last trip has tarnished my opinion on it. Menu strains and the prices have gotten better then they where back in the days.

Came to this coffee shop twice. The first time it was a great experience. Guy working behind the counter was super nice and gave me good recommendations. The second time the tender was extremely rude. Even other people were commenting how mean he was being to customers. He was swearing at me when I was trying to order and then refused to sell me what I wanted. If it wasn’t for him I would give this place a 5/5, but that employee completely ruined the experience

Top place, smelt like leather shoes.

Very happy with my visit there, good service, very nice location, since you can sit inside or outside by the canals and watch people paas by while smoking and/or drinking a cold beverage. Sometimes tourist guides with groups will also pass.

Rude staff. Not a good menu. No surprise the shop was empty on a Saturday night

one of my. favourites perhaps the best vibe! This post is a little corny but I was on my own in there and met a girl called Madelyn who was travelling from Canada and on her way to Lisbon the next day. If you ever read this post message me my biggest regret was not getting anyway to contact you.

Best Shop in Town, love the Candy Kush and King Hassan. Next to my favourite Hotel Radisson Blu.

In my opinion, This Is the best coffee shop B cause the staff Is Very cool and the location is ideal ! ❤️

This has been one of the nicest coffee shops on our trip. It was a good advice, grass is also very tasty and the atmosphere pleasant. The service is attentive and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately, nothing was realised of the cupcakes... Feel free to come back thanks :)

It’s a scam. We bought 2 joints and a space cake. No effect at all. We’re pretty sure we had normal muffins.

LOVED our experience on Wednesday night but then staff on Thursday weren't as friendly and the music wasnt as good

Very bad customer service. As soon as we walked in the owner demanded to know how many of us were buying something. He raised his voice when we were looking at the menu and said we couldn’t sit down or go to the toilet until we bought something. It was a very hostile environment to be in so we left before buying anything.

The guy was extremely rude and the customer service was awful. Do NOT go!! Would give 0 stars if I could

!!! STONERS BEWARE !!! Bad atmosphere, unfriendly barman, rubbish decor.

The guy in the shop is the rudest guy i have ever meet . I WOULD LIKE HIM TO READ THIS. VERY DISSAPOINTED

Nice chill out place, super friendly staff. Not your typical tourist coffee shop

Such a disappointment... Bought two of medium strong muffins and felt literally nothing... Paid 15€ for regular muffins. Such a rip-off. Definitely don't go there.

Always busy and for good reason, great selection and atmosphere, I went in mainly for the edibles as they have a good reputation, I ate one just before going through security at the airport and steadily cruised to 30,000 feet before the plane even took off. Would highly reccomend, great cake was really moist and light with well balanced flavours.

Amazing amazing place... Big coffeshop with lot of sitting place.. Great employees... Friendly and they will also help you to choose right joint... Love this place

Real nice people working there, very helpful. The rainbow cake was superb

An oasis where you can relax to the music, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy your time.

Great Coffeeshop, they're friendly and their stuff is good. It's always packed though

Perfect place to be. Nice staff, very nice coffee and hot chocolate. Clean too

Chilled out atmosphere with friendly staff and good tunes. Rainbow spacecakes are delicious and they get the job done. Nice selection of pre rolled joints as well as flowers and hash.

Not a nice place at all they done a really good job of making us a group of 4 feel not welcomed crazy how rude the staff are here the guy behind the counter had throw my change at me making me pick it up from the floor I really do not recommend this place there are plenty of other places that make you feel welcomed this place is definitely not one of them. Thanks for ruining day one of my holiday

Great place! We sampled three coffee shops last night and dug the atmosphere here. They were fun and helpful and really nice. Going back today!

Cutted rope. Shop in clean Rotterdam style. Friendly. Good stuff. Normal prices. Not too much, and not too young people. Enter in left door...

Great place to sit and people watch. Staff are friendly and helpful. As a non smoker I can highly recommend their coffee, didn't risk the cake though

Got a space cake here. Bought the light one and ate the whole piece. Took about two hours to kick in but I was insanely high for around 6 hours. The cake was also really good and chocolatey

Love this place! I've been before, absolutely had to go back. So chilled, and relaxed, brilliant atmosphere. Next time I'm in Amsterdam I will be going again.

Place was weak. Unwelcoming and very rude girl. But the guy at the counter was cool the cs right next door is wayyyyy better trust me.

Great coffee shop, very welcoming atmosphere and the staff are super lovely especially the lady that makes the coffee! (I should have got her name) The music is a vibes too, playing old school reggae and new school hop hop and rnb. I went on this trip with my boyfriend and we ended up playing cards for ages! we will definitely be returning upon our next visit

Fabulous place to visit, Amsterdam is totally worth it. Do it during the warmer season tho as water brings the cold out. From april all the way to september is worth. Great products.

Had the "strongest" space cake they had. It didn't taste good and I didn't feel anything. The inside of the Coffeeshop looked nice though.

Nice place to sit outside and have a smoke

Really cozy place. Good service from the seller and good vibes. The waitress making coffee, not so much.

One of our favorites. Excellent herb and lovely vibe. Visited more than once

Perfect location and weed! Love here to chill. Thank you!

We had a friend with us who became very sick. I want to say a big Thank You for the very kond, helpful and FANTASTIC staff (2 ladies, one was Portuguese the other I did not ask). The place was good as well, not very busy, a pleasant corner. Cheers

++good, chill, not to loud music +comfortable seating +generally good atmosphere +possibility to sit outside or at windows +bongs available for customers --staff not very friendly -prices are above average -quality of their weed is below average Overall a nice place. I recommend you try their space cakes/muffins. Would visit again.

Rudest staff I've ever come across. Woman at the bar wasn't even just unhelpful, she was aggressive and nasty for absolutely no reason, as if we should be sorry we were even there (we were trying to buy both weed and drinks). She was literally pulling faces at customers after they left the counter, like a moody teenager. Don't do the job if you hate it and everyone around you. Would give zero stars if possible. Awful.

Worst customer service ever. The one guy that looked like the owner was the rudest person I've ever encountered. Never going back there.

While I was traveling in Europe for the 'Map Your World Week' Google #LocalGuides (ask for more info if interested). Really pricy for their product presentation. Average knowledge about strains and side effects. Friendly enough!

Really nice weed. Posh teas. Chilled music. All in all nice vibe. Looks like a locals place.

Nice lady. Gave me papers as compliment for my honest. 32€/2gr for Muster kush
