Coffeeshop Blue Sea

Open now

Very nice vibe, artistic coffeeshop, amazing music, polite staff with knowledge about the strains. Would recommend it definitely.

Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend Firstly, I had to tone down my original review as the automated AI filter kept rejecting it because it was "offensive". Well going by the reviews below, as a brown immigrant, my experience was still much kinder than theirs I guess. As someone new to Amsterdam and generally impressed with the warmth and hospitality across most bars, restaurants, and coffeeshops, I found this particular establishment to be an unfortunate exception. I visited this coffeeshop three times over the past few weeks, each time hoping for a better experience, but unfortunately, it consistently fell short. On my first visit, I asked about ordering a drink before purchasing anything else and was met with a curt and dismissive response from the guy who most have mentioned below. This interaction felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. My second visit was marginally better — a different staff member was present (a girl), and more open to conversation. However, the overall quality of both the product and the coffee did not leave a good impression. On my third visit, I bought a joint and sat down to relax. I was approached shortly after (by the same girl), and told I needed to purchase something else to remain seated, which felt inconsistent, especially as others appeared to stay without additional purchases. I was also asked not to use my phone even though it was on silent and I was listening quietly. These inconsistencies in how customers are treated and enforced rules left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. While I understand businesses have policies, a little clarity and consistency in how they’re applied would go a long way. There are many better spots nearby where the atmosphere is friendlier and more relaxed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place, especially to newcomers or tourists.

I had a deeply disturbing experience at this coffee shop. The staff member refused to serve me and said, “I can smell that you are Jewish.” This kind of antisemitic language is horrifying — it echoes words used during the Holocaust to dehumanize Jews. Discrimination like this has no place in any business. I won’t return, and I urge others to think twice before supporting this place.

No tea for you

Lovely little Coffeeshop. Comfy seats, very chilled. Staff lovely - definitely one to visit!

Short guy behind the counter who is often wearing a cap ruins the whole vibe of this lovely coffee shop. This place has some nice strains with the Tropicana cherry and the purple Tropicana a nice cozy little atmosphere. Unfortunately it gets ruined by the this one guy, ive been in multiple times and whenever i come in and he’s working he’s not very welcoming and unpleasant to deal with to say with at the least. He’s always rude and always make some snide comment. I can see other people have mentioned comments of one guy being rude and unpleasant and it’s deffo the same guy. I’m always polite and more than friendly and this guy always finds some way to be an arse about something! I wouldn’t recommend if you want a good vibe!

The owner (I guess) was super friendly. 10/10 vibe and products/prices. Enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you:)

the guy started calling my boyfriend gay for getting a straw with his drink lol but the fish were cute

6 euros for a cigarette

these guys were very nice to speak to used the volcano vape alot of time was mighty high could tell menu was very nice wa s ood quality bud fish tank was class very nice atmosphere, ,,,,,,

calm. respect to R. . Show love get love.

Has a very friendly atmosphere and a nice and welcoming staff. Good prices & cute fishies too

Such a great coffeeshop, beautiful place with great designs on the walls, really nice team and super cool vibe (Bonus for the aquarium it's so cute) :)

Very nice and cosy shop with friendly staff. A very clean bathroom. You can get all the help you need here and the product is quality. Some nice art and plants to look at while high even a lively aquarium. Ideally located in de pijp whether i want weed, hash, wax, pre-rolls or edibles i always come here.

Delightful Amsterdam coffee shop with an impressive selection of warm drinks—perfectly brewed coffee, soothing teas, and indulgent hot chocolate. Great combination with quality smoke.

the place was cool and I liked the aquarium. the guy who helped me was REALLY high, which normally wouldn’t be an issue but he messed up my order. I asked him if the hash joints had tobacco in them and he said yes. I said, oh okay, no thank you then, could I just get two pure sativa? he nodded, then my mom ordered a drink and probably confused him. anyways I ended up with two tobacco hash joints and I felt like puking only three hits in. I luckily recognized it and stopped smoking but yeah that was a terrible experience, but probably our fault for confusing him.

The Moment you walk in the Door you get welcomed with an amazing Energy and suprised with creative painted walls and an actual aquarium in wich fish of the sea are Vibing. The Service is immaculate. Tipp" Treat the people the way you would wanna be treated." I'm sure you will enjoy youre experience. Matter of fact the Bluesea is the reason I wanna soon visit Amsterdam again. Loved the place:)

Visiting the Coffeeshop BlueSea is like entering a world of peace and calm. Unlike most other coffeshops, it has a much calmer vibe to it. CoffeshopBlueSea is an inclusive and connecting place to be. It has really formed its own community! The amazing workers there make that happen. And I will personally always be grateful to have had the pleasure of experiencing this. Truly Respect is the keyword. And if you get that; you get in. Simple Some people decide to socialize in the bar consuming an infused cupcake, chocolate fudge or inhaling a weedballoon, others prefer to work on their computers in solitude ejoying a joint and a beverage. Surrounded by wonderous artwork displaying all kinds of magical creatures. «Beauty in the dark» Litteraly. Using a blacklight. Definetely something great to rest the eyes upon while enjoying cannabis. Blacklight or not. I absolutely reccomend this place!

Very nice an cozy place, if you're looking for something more local it is definitely worth a visit. The staff is very friendly and they give you good advice on what to get. A guy named Ahmed told us what to take and it was probably the best advice. As stated it is very cozy and chill, it's not a big place but that just ads to the experience. And the aquarium is a real highlight, next to the amazing artwork covering the walls; its the perfect place to calm down and smoke a joint. Last important note: the weed is perfectly priced, and it packs a real punch. I would definitely recommend that you visit this place yourself!

A lovely place to go if you wanna relax, has some great grass and a chill. In relaxing vibe! Definitely a place to go if you are in Amsterdam!

I came here while touring Amsterdam as it was on my way back to my hotel. I chose this place because of the reviews. I was, unfortunately, duped. The guy working the counter was dismissive and not pleasant. Usually, I don't care as long as I get a good high and a place to relax. Bought an edible and a joint for almost 20 euros. Then he told us we had to buy a drink to sit inside and said only cold beverages were available. Then I was told to pay in cash as the machine wasn't working. We obliged cause we were tired and just wanted to relax. As we sat down and started eating and smoking, 2 girls walked in, bought some weed, paid by card and sat down. My blood started boiling. Then 2 local guys or friends came and guess what? He started making them coffees and teas. I would not recommend this place.

I loved this place because of the staff specially the Egyptian guy ‘Ahmed’, he is absolutely friendly and very hospital Ofcourse would go bk

I found myself coming back each day after my travels through the city. Sanctuary. Friendly staff, beautiful product, and a nice quiet spot to escape the chaosc and hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. I look forward to coming back

the coolest coffeshop my friend found by accident! very nice people, good prices and it's not too crowded. and the aquarium is lit

This place...our favorite

Small coffeeshop. Joint was good quality and I enjoyed a cup of lemon tea as well. Nice relaxed vibe, cool fishtank.

Chilled nice decor and they offer 0.5g so can try a few. Also they have old school strains at good prices.

Such a chill coffeeshop. Really quiet, only one other person here. So chill, friendly guy on counter. Very cosy and quiet near our hotel. Would reccomend

Chill vibe at the coffeeshop, very polite owner

Absolutely perfect, lovely place to have found ourselves on our honeymoon during an unexpected lockdown! Thank you

The grass was good. It's okay to take away, but it's not recommended as coffee. Especially the aquarium is more cruelty to animals than pleasant. The aquarium is completely dirty and the animals look depressed. If I hadn't been too tired, I would have liked to have addressed it. The art on the wall is fascinating.

Nice and cozy coffeshop. Confortable place, good music.

Very nice and welcome environment. Enjoyed the stay every time. Nice paintings and nice fish tank.

Super cheap deals for really decent bud when comparing to current Amsterdam coffeeshop standards.

Supa dupa ! Offshore is really good

So 5 star, just go and have a smoke beside the fish tank.Quiet gentleman behind the counter.....body high from the King Kong. Do it.

Nice people and a very nice chill lounge! We come again next trip!

We really enjoyed our time here! It was a lovely room with a fish tank and a big wall of plants. We loved the music that was playing as well. Blue Sea in Amsterdam was our favorite place to have espresso and enjoy our herb!

Brilliant place. Great prices. Friendly staff. I cannot rate this place highly enough. My 2nd coffee shop visit ever and the person behind the counter was very helpful. I do smoke a lot of weed and kinda know my stuff but he was very friendly, and even picked up on my UK accent and suggested weed that I would like based on my accent. That stuff was so good. Prices are dirt cheap compared to the other places I visited (some stuff here was 10e a gram, better than some 18eur/g stuff in the center) Radiator to sit down by and get cosy, the aquarium sets a really calm and relaxing atmosphere. Drink prices fine as well. My understanding is that buying drinks really helps the coffee shop, so I was more than happy to pay 2/3e for coke or tea. I am still rating this 5 stars, but there was one issue: the music. My first experience they were playing reggae (who doesn't love a bit of reggae) but my second they were playing some mix of charts from 2005 onwards, about 30 songs which got repetitive. I probably couldve asked for a song change but I was on my own and had headphones so that was fine. Really good for solo visiting, or groups of no more than 2 or 3. Definitely going to visit next time, a true hidden gem. Just some consistency with the music, find a very long reggae playlist or just general chill playlist. Anyway, you can get over bad music with friends around chatting. I really love this place and felt comfortable and catered for. What more can you ask for?

As a Dutch person myself, I always try to find hidden gems in my town. Last Monday night, me and two buddies, were searching for a great sit-and-smoke somewhere in the Pijp. It wasn't until around 11 at night we finally found Blue Sea. The person behind the counter immediately made us feel welcome, which cant be expected of a coffee-shop in the weed capital! Long story short, we smoked some and eventually the counterman even went into the smoking lounge to check if everyone was enjoying their stay. That was a great service i haven't experienced anywhere else. Feels like a true caring shop owner! Weed was also great. Reasonable price, especially when there is so much competition in the area.

Had an amazing experience there. The person on the counter was very friendly and welcoming. Was a small but pretty place. Would definitely recommend it if you have a small group.

Very nice and cosy place, small lounge, very clean. Very welcoming staff (it was a friend of the owner), and nice weed. Not for big groups. To recommend. Thank you for the welcome !

Blue sea was the first coffee shop me and my boyfriend came into after landing in Amsterdam. There was a lovely selection of choice but ultimately I persuaded my boyfriend to go with agent orange. One of my favourites by far. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and a relatively large fish tank with beautiful exotic fish to keep the mind occupied, would definitely recommend as we returned on our last day and we were not disappointed

I truly believe that it was the coolest cooffeeshop we went to. People are nice, the place is very beautiful and chill. Weed is not expensive and pretty good. I recommend it for sure !

Really friendly chap served and looked after us. Loved the fishtank. Would definitely recommend!

I am a local guide registered in the google registry 1) the managers are kind and professional friendly and available for everything 2) wonderful place 5 stars deserve !!! seems to really be at sea !!!

Amazing atmosphere and welcoming helpful people, thank you for your help and looking out for me, Il be back

Great little find! Cosy and staff are really friendly and give very good advice!! Will visit again

Good choice, affordable prices, knowledgeable staff.

Nice place to have a smoke and get some really tasty weed.

Very good weed for very good prices compared to other shops

The Blue Sea is back with a new owner that has been known for his top quality Weed and Hash. The man responsible for the quality and Succes of the BLUE BIRD COFFEESHOP for the last 25 years, has now taken his knowledge and experience to the BLUE SEA COFFESHOP! The selection of Weed & Hash is top notch ( Iggy Pott, Night terror, Chocolope Blue cheese Lemon Haze ) to name a few. Beautiful natural designed interior with walls of flowers and plants aswel as an exotic aquarium to space off into, along with great music and friendly staff. Don't hesitate to come by and enjoy this wonderful oasis of peace, tranquility and good DOPE!

Super bad quality, but excelente hot chocolate

The place is absolutely the worst. The owner is aggressive to say the least - he kicked out one of the customers who was quietly enjoying his time and even purchased food from the shop. Needless to say this is not the atmosphere any self respecting customer would want. There are many other coffeeshops nearby with a much better atmosphere, and much more friendly workers, so do yourself a favor and skip Blue Sea. It is not at all worth it.

Bad material but cheap.

good coffeeshop, not very crowded and this is good. good weed and hash. i tried every kind of the menu

Nice and chilled. Friendly staff. Great coffee!!!

I was told by the owner that he didn't have time to show me the few things I asked about.

Unfriendly and aggressive atmosphere. We immediately left the shop again after an extremely inhospitable and arrogant reaction of the owner when I asked for the bathroom.
