Bluebird

Open now

It's one of my favorite places in Amsterdam. The weed has never really changed. It's always this oldschool menu and the coffee is one of the best in adam. Really friendly stuff and good vibe. I hope this shops stays like this forever

Coffeeshop Bluebird is one of Amsterdam’s true legends, first opening its doors back in 1982. Since then, it has rightfully earned its place as one of the city’s oldest and most authentic coffeeshops. Stepping inside feels like entering a retro universe of the 1980s — the interior has barely changed over the decades. Stained glass, psychedelic artwork, and a laid-back, hippie-chic vibe create an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and welcoming. It’s a throwback to a freer, bolder, and more vibrant time. The coffeeshop is spread over two levels: The ground floor features a bar with high stools, drinks, and a small space for a quick smoke. The upstairs lounge is spacious and comfortable, with cozy sofas and large windows offering great views of the street — perfect for kicking back and watching the world go by. There’s also a small outdoor terrace, though rolling on it is not allowed. One of Bluebird’s biggest points of pride is its product selection. You'll find a solid lineup of Afghan hash traditions and the iconic Nepalese Temple balls, long beloved by connoisseurs since the 1990s. The menu also includes space cakes, a variety of drinks, barista-made coffee, free Wi-Fi, and even a Volcano vape station. The friendly, multilingual staff is always happy to help — whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned enthusiast. Bluebird consistently earns high ratings — around 4.2 to 4.5 stars, and it’s frequently featured in top coffeeshop guides, from LillyLikes to the Connoisseur Guide. If you’re looking to do more than just try — if you want to immerse yourself in the real spirit of old Amsterdam — Bluebird is a perfect stop. Unhurried, full of character, and rich with history.

I used to love to absolutely love this coffeeshop, been going since the mid-‘90’s, however last time I was there, with a friend that never been there before, the staff were the rudest I’ve ever experienced

I love this place. The staff is very kind and thoughtful. I spent some time here with a friend and also alone doing some creative journaling/crafting. The music is nice. Really enjoyed the vibe and will definitely come back when I‘m in the city again! I enjoyed the fresh ginger tea and was very pleased to see the prices for beverages, not overpriced! The toilets were also mostly clean, that’s great! Thanks to all the staff for your service and making me feel comfortable!

This is the best coffee shop in Amsterdam. Great prices, facilities and staff. Everyone is supe friendly and welcoming. Plus the vibes are perfect. Im gonna miss this place back home

Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and kind. Bluebird has actually been going for over 20 years, and they have moved to a new venue. It looks incredibly fresh. Staff are very knowledgeable.

such a cute a quaint place right near a lot of nice breakfast places (lagom, ny bagel) Honestly went to a lot of shops and these prerolls (pure) have been the bEST and very consistent. Lovely relaxing place and their rose hip tea and vanilla cappuccino is amazing.

Favorite place to go, no extra special strains but the best local ones for the best prices. Comfortable atmosphere and the best and nicest staff in amsterdam!

The place is nice, seating is comfortable in coffeeshop context, and selection of produce is fine. However, the way you treat customers is not OK - when it is 2 degrees celcius outside, and you have customers sitting in your downstairs seating area, you DO NOT tell them they cannot close the front door, and do not force them to sit there with these doora wide open! Ridiculous behavior, invest in proper ventilation if you need to circulate the air from the premises but do not leave the clients that pay for you business to operate freezing (in summer it would be fine, but when it is cold outside this is far from being acceptable).

Absolutely top-notch! The atmosphere was super chill, the staff friendly, and the quality just perfect. Prices were fair, and the selection was on point.

Malana Cream available. Mimosa remarkable. Nepal pollen potent. Together with mold Afghan and Kashmir my favourites. Two lions Red Lebanon crimped in white linnen. not found for 40 years! Help!. ✌️

The worst coffee shop ever in Amsterdam, I was extremely disturbed by the behaviour of your staff, who acted in a completely disrespectful, sexist, and racist manner towards a female customer. The customer in question was subjected to offensive comments by another a member of staff , which were all sexist and racially inappropriate. However, instead of addressing the harassment or offering support to the victim, your staff chose to defend the individual responsible for the comments and subsequently asked the woman to leave the premises. This not only worsened the situation but also made me feel even more alienated and unsafe. Such behaviour from both the customer and the staff is entirely unacceptable and deeply concerning. No one should be made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable in your establishment, especially due to their gender or race. It is disheartening to see that, rather than upholding a standard of respect, your staff chose to side with the person causing harm. I strongly urge you to investigate this incident and take the necessary actions to ensure such behaviour is not tolerated in the future. This includes providing your staff with proper training on handling situations involving harassment and ensuring all customers are treated with the respect they deserve.

my local. its a great place. 2 mins from my home I am ever so grateful that they continually have the outdoor amnesia

Owner is a lovely man and staff are great was in it every day and night with my son on our recent trip great little coffee shop

Perfect combination of freshly made smoothie and traditional Thai breakfast

Extremely rude staff. We were refused entry to this coffee shop because, according to the staff, our Romanian IDs were “not valid.” This claim is completely false, as Romanian IDs are valid and accepted everywhere within the EU. This was an utterly baseless excuse, and the treatment we received felt discriminatory.I’ve been there multiple times and this never happened before.(products are pretty shitty too). Also the vibes and music are just weird, felt unsafe as a girl. I do not recommend.

Very nice place not expensive and good weed nice atmosphere and the service just perfect sure I visit this place again ...

A local recommended this place to me and my friends while we were travelling saying that it was better than the touristy big brand of the city. Indeed, it was cheaper and the staff were very helpful. We had to walk a short while to get there, but it was well worth it.

So friendly and helpful. We went there to try a volcano vape for the first time and the budtenders walked us through it all and other guests helped too. Such a nice atmosphere. Decent menu as well

The best cannabis I ever had during my trip in the Netherlands was the “Tropicana Cherry”

Established in 1982! I visited this cafe based on recommendation. If you don't smoke like me the Volcano vape is exactly what you are looking for. I enjoyed 90 mins here; the music, conversations, hand-painted walls and people watching outside all made the experience memorable. They have a very good ventilation system and I saw them ID check people who looked under-age, also very good. GO HERE!

I spent a lot of time here as a tourist, would highly recommend. They have good quality weed, hashish and edibles for good prices. They play relaxing music as well. It's a central location but slightly off the beaten track. Their edibles are strong and worth the money. It has a good atmosphere.

Service was kind and atmosphere was good if I consider the furnitures and design. Many sofas and chairs were placed here and lots of pictures of wildlife hanged on the walls. I missed music there really much. Tea which I ordered was perfect to joint, from which I have confused feelings. I bought garlic kush, which was amazing, but blue haze wasn’t really good. For 20 minutes maybe yeah but then nothing. No affect.

Visited last week(4/20) brother's stag do. Left at about 00.50 just as it was about to close. Got back to my hotel and noticed I'd lost my wallet

Walking through the red light district and asked a gentleman where the best coffee shop was. He happened to be a gentleman who worked at one, Transylvanian. He let me follow him all the way to the bluebird and when I got there, I bought weed and relaxed. He even checked on me a couple times during my high. Even off the clock he was extremely helpful to this American.

Coffeeshop Bluebird is a must-visit in Amsterdam for a relaxed atmosphere and top-notch cannabis products. With friendly staff and a diverse menu, it's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy Amsterdam's cannabis culture. Highly recommended!

Pleasant service, tasty hot chocolate and good price.

I left my heart in bluebird cafe

I really loved this place. It became my regular in the few days I spent in Amsterdam. Would really recommend it to any travellers.

Came here yesterday my very first amsterdam coffee shop ,visited a few that day and I found one the best vibes without a doubt, brilliant flower really did the job and the man who worked there was super helpful and friendly,nice coffee too,definitely will return

My first experience of a Amsterdam coffee shop was here and did not disappoint. While I was nervous at first in how the whole process works the staff were extremely friendly and informative on the different types of bud they had. I got myself 2 pre rolls and a blueberry muffin all of which were absolutely amazing. Definitely felt ready to roam the streets of Amsterdam feeling light as a feather

Best coffeeshop I ever been in. Perfect place to relax, drink some tea, smoke some killer weed and chill on the couches. Great atmosphere, music and service.

Very good place to chill with friends, nice weed and great service from the stuff. Chill atmosphere and very good music selection if you like hip hop and rap.

I liked this coffeeshop. It is not in the most tourist area, although very central, and seems to be very popular with locals. I had good selections there and pleasant environment. Everyone there was friendly, from employees to customers.

One of the best coffee shops in Amsterdam. I went there every day in the morning before going for a walk around the city and discovering new places!

We went to lots of different coffeeshops in whilst in dam, and by far without a doubt Bluebird has been the most enjoyable time, with the laid back but attentive service, well priced smoke, as well as being a great smoke. (Lovely hash pre rolls) We would walk the extra 25 mins in the cold to make it back there over and again, we became loyal customers very fast. Thanks!!! With love from the uk we will be back

Absolutely loved this coffeshop – it's the coziest spot I've ever visited. Can't wait to come back on my next trip to Amsterdam!

Nice plant stuff, especially they not only have the powerful strains but also weaker outdoor ones for a very fair price. Nice if you don't want to turn in a stationary plant yourself. Coffee is also great. The ambiente is friendly and has alot of sunlight which i appreciate.

Coffeeshop Blue bird is a cool spot to grab some flower. The place is kinda edgy and a bit gritty but wears it well. I would recommend a take out type situation personally but to each their own. All in all it’s a great place for a smoke and whatever gangsta things pop off next.

Great coffee. Great service. One thing to note: they bake the croissants on the spot so it takes a while!

The seller guy was very rude. He told us to hurry up for selecting what we want or to go another place.. We left there without buying anything. We were very surprised how this place is 4,5 stars with this unacceptable behaviours.. Strongly unrecommended.

Lovely personal Great stuff and advice. Loved the music. Shazam never worked as much Chill, open, with a nice view on the street. One of the best so far

If you're looking for a chilled no pressure vibe away from the tourist traps, with a good menu and decent drinks - highly recommended. Would visit again when back in Amsterdam.

Lovely coffee shop. It is on the outskirts of town a little bit but still walkable. They serve cold and hot drinks upstairs. Staff seemed friendly apart from the Chinese guy that stood at the door. As its a split level establisment i believe his aim is to direct customers upstairs to the counter but he came across as pushy which resulted in people walking in and back out

rude staff, lack of information on the things they are selling, and the prerolls are a scam, 50% of it is just the filter. they sell them in a carton instead of the glass case that any respectable cofeeshop would. this is so you can't see that they're scamming you until you've already bought it

Lovely experience, decorated so nicely and the staff were lovely. By far my favourite part was the music, and I attempted to ask for a playlist but it was getting busy so I thought best not too! Overall great time here though would 100% recommend

Easily on of the best coffee shops in Amsterdam. What is usually a bold statement to make, quickly becomes fact when the charm and atmosphere hit your senses. From the excellent staff, art and Marcello will make sure that you are taken care of and genuinely care for your experience. Amazing specials, space cake muffins, volcanoes and an extensive and top notch assortment of flower etc. The drinks are just as breathtaking as the art on the wall. I had the ginger and mint tea along with a most delicious smoothie. Definitely recommend it being made with apple juice but don't sell yourself short by not trying it with fresh orange juice. All in all, I would not have this experience any other way and will always make this my first stop in the city. I appreciate art so much for helping ensure our baflgs were safe while we enjoyed. I understand when they are busy it's my responsibility so I keep it in eyesight. Very grateful for the good vibes and extra assistance. When the munchies hit dont forget a sandwich. Be aure to ask what the best, most flavorful, exotic, whayever you prefer they will point you in the right direction.

One of the favourites, awesome staff, great product and prices. Smoking area is super chill, tables outside are very nice touch

There aren't many coffeeshops left in Amsterdam that you're made to feel comfortable in; but this is one. The seating is comfy, the music was good, the bar staff and budtender were exemplary and I had a really nice and chilled couple of hours here. Fresh mint tea is the best by the way.

We were told at the coffeeshop that one Space Muffin will be okay for one person; however, we split two muffins between the three of us and it was definitely enough and even a bit much for one of us, so be careful as their effect lasts longer than from a blunt.

Hands down the least friendly coffee shop. I have been living in Amsterdam for years, and have never experienced such an unwelcoming place. Rude, condescending, arrogant people.

A popular coffeeshop with good products. Staff is kind of nervous and may sometimes make you feel unconfy though.

Very friendly service. The weed is of good quality and doesnt taste odd. Only problem i have is with the amount of sitting places but apart from that its very nice. Oh and the coffee is amazing

Wicked coffee shop, super chill - can lay back and proper enjoy. Spent a couple hours there this last Friday and Saturday on both days chonging away. Probs smoked out the place a bit too much for one of the people downstairs but loved it. 100% will return. Great service, door guys are absolute gents. Thanks for having me around!

Lovely place! Staff were helpful and chilled. Really loved the layout

Very friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, chill music. Didn't feel very welcome everywhere in Amsterdam as a tourist, but this place was a good experience, I felt accepted here.

It's a good shop with a nice vibe and a good view in the 1st floor. Would recommend if you want to relax and sit for a while. Sadly they have no meals (sandwiches, Poofertjes, toast...). Only snacks like chocolate bars and pretzels

Always good to be here, nice staff

It's been a while since I've been to bluebird, always my first stop after I get off the train in Amsterdam.. a question to the owner or anyone who might know does bluebird still sell the strain chocolope? I live in Ireland and would go to Amsterdam to get some chocolope.

We stayed quite a way from the bluebird but stumbled across it on one of our walks - cannot complain fantastic staff and a nice upstairs area

Nice cosy shop, everything clean and delicious drinks. Very nice view from the shop.

Hands down the best coffeeshop I visited while I was in Amsterdam. The staff was really patient and kind. Great quality products as well. I highly recommend going here for a relaxing smoke session. I had their poffertjies ( I already had a few in the image attached, was zoning out way to much and forgot to take a picture haha)

Great for a quick smoke. Bought OG Gelato here and it kicked me right outta my socks

Great place. Have it all Pre-Rolls, Space cookies, good price (CAN PAY WITH CARD!!!!), great vibe. Recommended for everyone !

Blue bird is a fantastic shop they have a full volcano bar and they clean the mouth piece between each use. Also flower tangee was great

Great place ! I had a great time there and awesome conversations with one of your employees Marcelo :p wish I had asked for his # to keep in touch haha

Best one I've been! The atmosphere beats any competition!

A great site. They have a terrace. Dogfriendly: they received my dog ​​almost better than me. Very friendly and attentive staff, the waiter speaks Spanish. They gave us good advice on what to take. I forgot my wallet and they kept it for me. Many thanks! A really recommended place.

Cool music (electro-swing, reggae, and other chill tracks). Cosy room upstairs, snacks and drinks are available for very reasonnable pricing and good quality. Now let's talk about what people want to know : the menu. Well we came here as a couple, for the so-called special muffins. Spoiler alert : they are. It was girlfriend's first time, not mine, quite used to space cakes. We shared 33/67 and it took us higher than the Empire States. Also, a friendly reminder : they say it is to be shared by at least 2 people and it truly is. Could even split it in 3 or 4.

I try to always visit The Bluebird when I'm in town. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and while the menu may be smaller than other coffee shops, the selection is always excellent. Would highly recommend. One of the best.

This is one of my favourite places to visit when in the Dam, staff are great and always have a bit of a different menu

Very nice experience, historic coffee shop, skillful people which give you advices and explain everything you need!

Recommend paying a visit to this coffee shop. The staff are really helpful and friendly and there's different parts of the cafe, to work, smoke, drink tea and chill. Visited it a few times whilst in Amsterdam

One of my absolute favourite coffeshops in Amsterdam. Friendly helpful staff ,good fair quality of herbs and a really nice relaxed flair. It's situated in a calm corner far away from the red-light and massive crowded places

As usual, the Bluebird staff were welcoming and helpful. Their produce is always excellent quality for a fair price and the coffee ls fantastic too, which is a bonus. I've visited the Bluebird every time I've been to Dam since the early 90's and it's always the first coffeeshop I head to from Centraal. Special mention to James, who is always cheerful, chatty and willing to help.

Really nice people! A third of the special muffin was enough for me :D

Comfy place, great prices and good quality, the muffins are to die for !!

Excellent weed and service. Really nice staff, couldn't ask for more.

Some good indicia there. Nice staff.

At this place I tried the "Volcano Vaporizer" for the first time. An interesting experience. Unfortunately, the staff was not very friendly and staying too long was not desirable. The vibe didn't grab me here, there are much better coffee shops for me in the city.

Absolutely love this place, I visit every year, the staff are wonderful and don't care for employing people that aren't friendly and caring. It's always a pleasure, I'd love for them to have more space for more people by purchasing a second bluebird. I wish they had the Coffeeshop reefers building a few shops down away from the centre as they have a huge seating area but Coffeeshop reefer just isn't bluebird. Much love for all the staff, can't wait to see you all again.

This Coffeeshop is amazing. We feel at home with our friends. Comfortable on rainy days!

Very friendly staff. I felt like home. Location was amazing with a room with sofas where smoke your joint in chill.

One of my favourite coffeeshops in the city. Welcoming and polite staff, good selection with teas and coffees. A nice place to be.

Best poverty to relaxe and enjoy the evening! Maybe to always the best strains, but always the. Eat place to hang out! Very friendly staff with love for their job! Nice music and enough space to chill! Make sure to check out the specials! Nice prices and perfect stuff!

Amazing place! Good and strong stuff, nice music.

So far I'd say this is my favorite coffeeshop I've visited here in Amsterdam. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was perfect, the prices and quality of the flower was great, and I even liked the music (which has been a rare experience thus far). Even their restrooms are the nicest and cleanest I've found in the city. Will absolutely be visiting again.

Best muffin tried in Amsterdam, the bluebarry

Wow, best Shop to chill, good price/quality, buy a lot when you are here!

Reasonable prices and friendly staff

Good weed, cheap and strong!

They always have a really good selection of hash here. never lets me down.

The best Shop in the city

Good shop, next time I'm around I'll be happy to visit you again

Get together for friend and family

Great Sevice

Their edibles are the best I could find

Great place with very professional and kind staff. They have a lot of different strains as well as many edibles. You can smoke on site or use one of stationary Volcanos with small, refundable deposit. Great place to have a coffee as well :)

Beautiful coffeeshop with indoor & outdoor seating, wide range of products, decent prices, delicious coffee and great staff.Bring some id otherwise, security won't let you in.

Great place to get high quality bud. Nice staff and chill smoking lounge. Also has tables outside

I am not a smoker and this is one of the only coffee shop I can stay in without suffocating from the smoke. The real extra for me was that I got to enjoy Latin rhythms of Company Segundo. Finally some good music in a coffee.

Wonderful place for coffee and great view. Staff are also cheerful and greet you with smiles. Recommended place for reasonably priced coffee.

Me and my girlfriend were staying in Amsterdam for 3 days and this instantly became our favourite place. I can’t stress enough how lovely and helpful ALL of the staff were. I’ve rarely smoked before so I explained to the man and he started talking me through what he thought was best for me, discussing the different strengths etc. The second day we came back and the woman was just as helpful and friendly.

Great place, knowledgeable staff. Great tea and hot chocolate. Its wasn't as busy as the other cafes around which suited us. Still has quality stuff. Hope to return in the future

We came with a tour group a couple of weeks back. One of the party experienced his first whitey in 30 years. The staff were awesome. Genuinely caring and sound help to get him back on his feet with good advice and some blood sugar enhancement! Thanks guys!

This coffeeshop is for me one of the best in Amsterdam. Especially the lounge on the first floor is very cozy and invites you to linger. Well done guys!

Very nice place with 2 floors. Awesome spot at the bar where you can watch the flow. Good tea with cookies and honey.

Great place, to hang out at all times of the day. Really good price's. Silver Hybrid pure rolled were pretty cool, I had 5

Highly recommend for first-timer! The staff here are very helpful. They will give you clear instructions of how much you should take the product. I had half of a space cake and 2 hours later it hit me so strong! Good experience and good feelings.

Warm, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Very chill and laid back. Some good yummy “coffee”

Great spot! Great coffee. Great weed at decent prices. Pleasant staff. Good music. Chill vibes. Hard to go wrong here! One of my favorite coffee shops.

Good weed and vibes here. Came here when I first landed and got me some good dank a coffee and met a couple friends ! The weed here is good and prices are fair. I’m finding reliability is a big issue with these coffee shops. You can’t go wrong here. Fast service and a nice menu with a good mix of everything. Went back again today for a 2nd visit got me and the wife some buds and gorilla ice hash. Nice smoke and yummy latté. Great way to start our day. Will be back again before we leave. Nice spot. Quality buds. Canadian dank lover approved

Nice weed there. Pretty good deals too, you can get 4.2g of Super Skunk for 35€. Relatively big chill Area where you can roll up your joints. Tobacco use is no problem just don't let your cigs/tobacco laying around.

Was off the beaten track, more of a chilled vibe.. Lovely cappuccinos, lovely weed, especially the ''blue cookie''... Friendly staff, not moody like alot of other cafes in the more frequently used areas (understandably)..

2 story's so you can enjoy your view outside. If ya want. Good lattes

The bluebird was recommended by many friends. Unfortunately it was rather a bitter disappointment. I ate 1.5 space muffins and it didn't have any effect. My friend experienced the same the other day. Nevertheless, you can buy other stuff there and it's a location with culture and character.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Worth a visit and the music's cool as well.

Great place to meet friends. Chill vibes and jamming music! Churr!

A very friendly place with a great selection of goods too. My personal favourite since I discovered it a few years ago

Good advice for the newbie in our group and welcoming to those not smoking like me. Both a smoking room, open area for smoking and downstairs which is none smoking which I found good.

Kind of small, but cozy. The guy who checked my i.d. was very friendly, as well as the people I shared space with in the smoking lounge. :)

Really nice coffee shop, great selection of weed, good food (toasties mainly), nice smoking area, good service, and free WiFi too! Would recommend this place! They've also got a few bongs and a vaporizer for you to use.

Bluebird coffee shop is small and can get hectic but if you don't mind that, their staff is extremely patient and helpful. They have a large variety to choose from, including some space muffins. If you get a chance, you should try the volcano vaporizer. I'm not sure how readily available it is in coffeeshops or in Amsterdam in general but Bluebird had it. It definitely hits you a lot faster and will give you the most bang for your buck. No pictures allowed, but I managed to sneak in a few :)

I love the view from the bench. I always stop by if we collide..????????????????????✌????️????????????????????

Awesome location great people and some original people who know what their job is. Great selection and many people but still there was enough space to sit. The blue cheese is kickin

Probably one of the most famous coffee shops in Amsterdam. It was recommended to me by the guys from the Cannabis College as the best coffee shop close to the Red Light District (referring mostly to the fact, that you can trust their weed quality). Close to the tourist hotspots, it seems to be always kind of full. They have a terrace, but you are not allow to roll there. You will find a good diversity on the menus (prices a bit more expensive than average), a cozy atmosphere, a close room for cigarette smokers, friendly people, music is not laud, etc. Recommendable place if you manage to find a sit for you.

The staff could be nicer (the bouncers can be a little weird, and maybe the waitress was having a bad day) but the general vibe is good. The main part is for smoking pure joints (which I would recommend if you want to taste a lot of different weeds/hashes and you're not staying long), because they're a better value than the weed/tobaco mixed joints. If you're staying longer or just want to try one strain, you should buy weed and roll. The weed is a good selection, with Super Silver Haze and Blue Cheese at the top of my list. ^^

Easy to find even if you just arrived. Incredibly good selection (even if you've been smoking since '75!), helpful in multiple languages, Really good Smoothies and fresh orange juice too. Nice view, helpful budtenders, great place to have a smoothie, hit off a volcano, generally enjoy the sites and smells of Amsterdam. Highly recommended, nice, normal, people, a good place to unwind. Have a nice day!
