Roots Coffeeshop

Open now

I’m a huge fan of this place - I had never been to a coffeeshop in Amsterdam before and just wanted some edibles. The price of the edibles was reasonable and the staff were very patient in explaining their different products.

it's handy as its next to the train station at the stadium so decent location. I asked for a pure pre roll and got a tobacco filled one which wasn't ideal (didnt realise until i was away from the place and lit it), however it's not expensive in here so not a big loss no place to sit in which isn't ideal

Love it. Amazing ppl and weed

A very nice place. What I want to comment on is the staff. Truly wonderful and energetic people – polite, welcoming, and always smiling. This is honestly the first staff that has made such a strong impression on me. Well done!

Very nice young lady with beautiful eyes and a nice kind friendly attitude and smile!! You are the fastest en nicest person who’s working there you know lot bout the stuff and you are honest bout the products who are good and not good at the moment. I don’t know ur name but I thought your name was Nadia.. you ar a lovely lady with full of respect for your costumer. See you back soon my friend

The staff here is unbelievably rude. God forbid you glance at the menu on the TV they’ll lose their minds and shout at you to use the one at the bar. Pathetic service, awful attitudes. Don’t waste your time and money here.

Discrimination. 2 out of 5 dealers will actually treat u with respect. If ur white u better speak dutch. Or ur doomed. They think they are thugs. Ha. Shady experience... Not worth it.

The spacecake is super good quality, but they don’t have any stock 90% of the time. It’s really a huge shame, we’ve missed out on a lot of good highs because of their lackluster stock

Small white dude with glasses behind the bar full of attitude and arrogance, visibly frustrated. I asked what I was looking for and somehow my question hurt his feelings throwing a tantrum like an overdramatic ex wife. That made zero sense and sounded like an instigation. As a grown man I just let it go. Definitely not coming back to this crap.

Literally the least favorite coffeeshop, rather say the worst, barely have anything on the menu, and if they have something its literally crumbs. I bought sky cookies which is €12 and it taste like outdoor grown weed, and they only have haze(sativa) most of the time indica is sold out or like I said, CRUMBS. Its not a coffee shop to buy like 5g at s time because they barely have anything. Not for tourists at all!!!!, if you are a tourist and want to have a good za’s better just explore and roam the center of Amsterdam, lot of coffee shops and the price varies from low to expensive.

New staff pay little attention when weighing. I found TOO MANY branches for 1 gram of grass. Weed that lately DOES NOT HIGH AT ALL AND HAS COMPLETELY NO TASTE. It feels like smoking flowers that have just been picked and dried quickly. Do they know what tanning is? (or seasoning). The grass really sucks here lately..

Bought two preroll. The first one didn't taste anything more than tobacco, so I turned it off and opened it. No weed. Opened up the second one, barely no weed. The hash is not what I ordered, taste awful.

I've never had any bad experience in this place until last weekend and today. Last week I was asked for my ID so I showed my passport which the supposed " head security guard" seemed to have a problem with the color " I have a blue passport".today I went in again and people went in and after me but never got asked for their ID but when he got to me he asked. So I showed him my ID and I joking asked " why was I the only one asked to show an ID and he was like he knows regular. that's crazy cause I buy weed from here every other weekend. All he did was raise his voice at me and he kicked me out all because I asked why I was the only asked for an ID. Until a random customer had to speak to him. I've never felt so embarrassed and mistreated all my life and it even hurts more when I did nothing problematic to deserve it. I pray that man get embarrassed just like I did today for the rest of his life!!!!

I would give a 0 star but it’s not possible. Security gard extremely rude and bad quality of weed. You can always go to cannacenter that is nearby. Never gonna give my money to roots again

The location is great, but I wouldn't recommend the Pure Hulk pre-roll. It claims to be tobacco-free, but there definitely tobacco in it.

Pre rolls are garbage. Little to no weed. It's pretty much all tobacco

Weed was ok Hash was nice tbf. The tall, goth female member of staff with red hair, had dreadful customer service , no manners no good morning, thank you. There are no tables to sit down and chill, no coffee or refreshments, stick to the dam for coffee shops

Good service and I like the rolling station for customers, but some product is disappointing. Bought a .5g space cake + 2 pre rolls. I asked about the flower/tabak split and the attendant said 40/60. It was at best 20/80 between the two and all packed at the tip. Hash and flower is all you'd wanna buy here. The cake was aight

Nice place, incredibile stuff. There was a guy inside(the one with the big beard) that was incredible helpful and also the guard outside very nice. Overall, the time experience there was great and I will highly recommend. For those of you who said they were not helpful, I don't know in which shop you went, for certainly not Roots Coffeeshop.

Poor quality products and arrogant staff. I feel scammed. Absolutely avoid.

Arrogant careless Staff works there. They showed us the same old nasty flower twice and made us think it was a different thing. The lady didn’t even really want to let us smell it at all. Stay away as far as you can.

Newly opened branch at Bjilmer Arena at Amsterdam, the staff spoke well English and even educated us which kind to get.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Careless staff, very bad service. There was 3 Lines when we came in, and we stod in a Line for 10 min, when we tried going for our turn the budtender rudly said that «there is no Line here, you have to go to leg or right Line» after obviousley seeing us stand there for 10 min. The guard by the door also saw us and others stand in what we thought was the Line, but did not care to give us good service and tell us. Super bad service, they don’t care at all. There are so many better Clubs to go to. Dont go here.

Coffeeshop Roots in Bijlmer Arena is the place where we locals buy our cannabis. If you did not visit Roots, while you were here, you missed an important experience. Roots is a place where we are all family. Nice music, nice coffeeshop, lovely people and a lovely vibes. Of course, last but not least, excellent herbs! Gelato Cali and Ice wreck ❤️

Absolutely trash. Bad quality products, bad actitud,bad prices. I give this guys a couple of tries and i feel super scamed. The worst coffeshop for me in amsterdam. Don't go

Frauds, they are selling cbd weed(for treatment, that doesn’t get you high) as normal, totally wasting of time/money, don’t recommend this coffee shop. Bought yesterday, as they call it Blueberry, I’m familiar with this indica strain, and what i was sold, it’s definitely not the original…

Not a place to visit for foreigners. Been going there for three weeks, asking for a different strain each time. The menu is a facade, to you the only thing in stock is the amnesia, even if there are other strains on the screen that aren’t crossed out. The amnesia itself is subpar as well. Just a sham in general.

Absolutely fantastic. An excellent service: the security and all the staff members are absolutely AMAZING

Amnesia was worth the money & the blueberry had a nice flavor. Staff was nice but security could be little bit more friendly

I visited this coffeeshop 3 times in the last month, and every single time they only have one strain left in stock, ridiculous. The menu on the wall showed that some strains were out but once you arrive at the counter (after waiting in line) the dealer will tell you that they only have Amnesia. I tried to ask why this is the case, but they wouldn't awnser me and laughed at me when I refused to buy the Amnesia... The shop looks nice but unfortunately their products are never in stock and the employees there are not very helpful or friendly.

went in with my girlfriend , security was lovely , place was very boujee looking , like i was going into a ritz , staff were lovely and helped me pick a strain , and they gave me a free lighter ! and i’m a tourist so haven’t been treated that well by a lot of people ! would 100 percent go back

Most of the staff are mean!! They don't even smile. They are so doll and unfriendly! Weed is okay, but a bit expensive comparing to the other coffee shops. I wouldn't go there except I have no other option.

Horrible service. Asking the employee nicely to separate my products, immediately responded that he didn't want to because he was tired... I guess I'll be too tired to ever come back.

Dude didn't want to sell the last weed because it his favourite and wanted to buy it for himself. Great code of conduct there. Not trying to support their business anymore, there is better coffeeshop close by called Best Friends go there for better quality and better service

I recently visited this cannabis coffee shop and I was thoroughly impressed! The selection of cannabis strains and products is extensive and well-organized, making it quick and easy to find exactly what you're looking for. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, ready to offer recommendations and provide detailed information about their products. Although on-site consumption is not allowed, the shop's ambiance is relaxed and professional, making it a comfortable and stress-free experience from start to finish. Whether you are a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a first-timer, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality cannabis products and friendly service!

Goede selectie van bud. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Whenever I stay at the easy hotel when coming back home always go into roots. Never once had an issue with the quality of the bud or the staff. Would definitely recommend. Also some nice hash there

Not satisfied what so ever I went into the coffee shop to look at the menu as I was looking at the menu the woman asked me what do you want and I pointed down to the menu saying I’m looking and she looked at me like I’m stupid and said to me can I read and I said yes I can im looking! She gone further to say I must pick something which rushed me in my position to buy something, So I left there and I will not be coming back, first experience was terrible.

This place should be shut down for scamming people. Worst coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Amnesia is never amnesia, today it was wet grass with seeds and branches. Not worth even 5€, i was buying gravel like this in eastern Europe in the 90. They propably picked it themselves on some field. It only exists because it’s the only place opened until 00:00 in the area. Avoid if you can. Pathetic.

Prices are decent but the quality could be better, staff is always friendly

Nice little coffeshop tucked away at biljmer station. Super easy to access and some good options overall, but they are out of most of their options everytime ive went. Sometime a few times a week to try and catch them when they are stocked, and sadly they have been out of stock. Usually they have the 14€+ strains , but thats too much for bud.

This Coffee shop was one of the friendliest place’s welcoming and staff were amazing! We will definitely be back to haunt you late September. Thanks you all ✌️❤️

Like every coffeeshop in Amsterdam very small menu, few things available. On top of that, in this place you cannot stop to smoke, they only want your money. The weed was ok but nothing above average

The bodygyard didn't let me inn, because I come on taxi and taxi was waiting for me... Is point less, this is how is call bulling Door guy, apparently the guy don't understand that other people live far and come ove quick for get and go. I will n3ver come back again, and a week spend 60 a week

Rude staff over priced .visited it twice over a weekend and was very disappointed. Better in area

Personally - all weed(without fruits haze's) is below average. Prices are ok, workers here are always smiling, but the quality of weed (mostly the smell while burning) does not satisfy me. Without it - everything is good. Big "+" for free herbal mix as substitute for tobacco and nice place for rolling.

Usually a decent range of strains. If you go later in the day, stock might be low. Only coffeeshop I’m aware of in Zuidoost. Can get busy on weekday evenings and afternoons/evenings on weekends. Decent quality for prices.

Friendly staff, good service, bedt among the few coffee shops south east of Amsterd

Standard shop. Sativa, Indica both weed hash. Good one and on the corner of train station. Price from 9 to 20eur. Enjoy the moment.

Lots of options of various pre-rolled joints and weed available here. Remains open till midnight on all days of the week. Close proximity to the Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena, Bus Station and Metro stations. No smoking is allowed inside the coffeshop. One can prepare rolled joints on the house, and a separate area provided for the same. Friendly staff, multiple staff members attend at any given time, for the queues waiting. Good experience overall!

Friendly staff and good selection

Weird guys sitting in the entrance, pricey weed you will throw away once you find a good coffeeshop

Only sometimes goods are missing, as if deliveries are late. Service is cool and very good papaya.

Good quality product, and really amazing prices. Prerolls are a bit less fancily made, but are filled to the brim and good quality. Overall good coffeeshop

Pre-Rolled joints : 95% Tabak 5%weed. Hash joint 98% Tabak 2%hash. Really expensive cigarettes...

The guy there scam people I bought 4 g and the guy gave me way lower even I was able to see it with my eyes. I asked him if this is the right amount, and he talked back really unpleasantly saying he don’t scam, I just came out and weight the weed ,and yes it was way lower than 4 g. This place scam people.

Amazed at how smooth the smoke is here. Just flew in from Denver CO, where weed is legal too, only they add way too many chemicals to theirs. Top stuff here people, if you come here you won't regret it.

The Amnesia and AMH are worth their price. Security enforces the rules except if you are a friend it seems. Rule consistency in their security team is not something they are good at.

In General a good place. But the staff is to effected by their own products sometimes.

Has good weed and hasj fast service and always kind and polite

Good prices, nice people behind the counter

Super friendly staff, great quality products, overall great experience!

UPDATE AT BOTTOM. Horrible staff that talk and joke around with other employees instead of serving people whilst there being a line out the door. This coffeeshop unfortunately has a monopoly in the entire area as the nearest other coffeeshop in the area is DNA. The smoking area is depressing, and overall vibes are not good. If you want quality go somewhere else, if you want employees that are somewhat incompetent to serve you overpriced weed, then go to roots. Update Nov 2021: There's a new coffeeshop in the area finally! It's called coffeeshop Best Friends and they are known for quality herb! No longer are the days of bad weed and service, as they finally have met their match.

Very nice and kind crew, they got very good quality weed by the good prices

You definitely feel relaxed After visiting this place

Very cheap and good quality. Was in our hood so we bought often here. Very friendly staff

If you need some good staff , is a good place

Quick line and nice service

good but pricey

I bought 2 Grams of Green Poison which looked ok but my Friends bought 2 prerolled joints which really looked bad 80% tabak 20% Weed. The prerolls where unsmokeable

CoffeeShop “ROOTS “ Under the Metro station: Bijlmer Arena. Between the tunnel an the bike shop. Very nice, stylish, welcoming, professional staff, and: Very warm & friendly. They have a good sense of humor. One last thing; Good Quality smokesss…The interior, look and ambiance is amazing, very relaxed, in a new modern way. So, it’s not only about the smoke,..but also what they deliver with it, the experience. I like that

Walking on heaven. The friendliest crew.

Decent shop if you like Amnesia. Their amnesia is usually top notch and really strong. The other weed on the menu not so much. Now the bad part, their Amnesia stock is always sold out at the end of the day. It happend plenty of times. But since its the only shop in Bijlmer I usually just buy a different strain from their menu, and more than not that strain disappoints me. Usually way more expensive than Amnesia but it doesnt get me high at all. Sometimes I feel like I was better off smoking a whole cig than mixing some tabaco with tbat weed. Anyways, if you like Amnesia, this is your go to shop. Make sure you go on time and maybe consider taking a trip to another coffeeshop in case they ran out of Amnesia.

Weed quality is not the best here but Amnesia is always good. Prices are decent, staff is very friendly, place is usually busy.

If you reside in Amsterdam southeast, this is the only coffeeshop close by. During quiet hours there the staff is really nice and relaxed, when it gets busy it can be a bit stressful. Price wise it is okay, there are definitely cheaper coffeeshops but also more expensive ones. Located in the Bijlmer station so it's easy to get to with public transport.

Visited this store 5 times in 3 months and i’m very dissapointed for weed quality and price (10+years of expirience). 4 of 5 times weed was very poor quality.

Friendly staff and fast service , the quality of the products are a bit weak but for beginners still could be okay (I'm smoking since 1995 )

I thought this was a A1 establishment, it’s got some of the best ratings in all of Amsterdam. A bit pricey but, helping out its community is a must. I bet you could get some benefit from the government by offering a free joint to pick up a bag of trash from your local waterways, streets and parks. I prefer one of my choosing but, I’m sure you could figure something out. Good Luck! Go, buy, get energized by Netherlands!

Very dictatorial door policy (mugshot, forced standing at exact spots). Relatively expensive for Amsterdam. But good cannabis.

Best coffeeshop in South East Amsterdam.

Normally I want to give - 5 stars but unfortunately minimum is one.

Best weed ever go to roots its very good five stars

Have been their customer for about 2 years. Very unfriendly people who realize they are the only one coffee shop in the area, thus act the way they want. No loyalty to customers at all. Their security people talk to you as if you came over to heir house instead of a public shop. Never again Roots

Variety, but I didn't like the fact that we ALL had to order something to drink in order to smoke a cigarette. Plus we wanted to reuse our weed bags, he said yeah of course, and he left it right next to him while he used new ones. Nice weed though, detailed work.

Very hit or miss. Some days the service is fast and very good. Other days the line goes out the door or they barely have anything in stock. Sadly it's the only coffeeshoo in the area.

Their weed is weak, or just bad but always expensive. Hashish is nice but still overpriced. Nice to have a coffee shop in this area, but I agree they really need some competition.

It’s pretty packed. But still a dope spot to check out. the vibe is perfect.

they have a wide variety off different sorts of hash and weed. I recommend this shop for the hash. the prices are not that high with a good strength for the price. it is possible to sit down , turn and smoke. you also can get some bongs from the shop if you order them. the self good pre rolled joints and offer some good beverages.

The best, plus the best cake, congrats!

Very nice place, very good menu choice. This place services the whole district so be prepared to wait for a while to get served, normally around 5 min waiting time in busy times. Staff and door staff where really friendly and helpful, they work very hard keeping up with the amount of people they serve daily. Buy your stuff here, hop on the train into the centre and enjoy knowing you've got the best quality and quantity :)

It's on my way to work, so I come there on a daily basis. There's a lot of nice people and very friendly staff. The gardella or 24K are the best hasjish you'll find all over Amsterdam for a GREAT price!! I would really recommend to stop by if you happen to have some spare time, you willl not regret Dagelijkse shop voor mij gezellige mensen en lekkere wiet/hash en dat voor een goeie prijs sowieso aanrader

Roots as small and out of the way it may seem it actually has top quality products. Be sure to try sour tangerine if you are in the area. It's fruity delightful pungent taste is the best way to end a perfect day in Amsterdam.

The only reason I came is because it’s the only coffee shop near by, the women working there are so rude, eating while serving, no hello just what do you want. How is this acceptable for a business. You should fire them all. Worst service I’ve experienced.

Good menu and good price. Enjoy Reggae vibes and amnesia tea trip.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Amsterdam - main reason being because it’s more residential, and the people in the evening (when I’ve been) are so much more lively and loud (which Europeans aren’t usually unless there’s alcohol. It’s a young crowd, but not strictly. A good selections. Indoor smoking with tables and sofas. Tobacco allowed.

Super friendly staff and lovely seating area. Has a good choice of gear. Very competitive prices.

Amazing local coffeeshop that I was wainting for the Qlick gallery to open. Great prices and Service See you next time and thank you for everything :)

Just a great place to hang, socialys, network and the service is also very good! i would realy recommend it to go there some time. I'm pretty sure you're agreeing. This place deserves 5 stars!!

It was so close to our hotel, so we gave a try. Was easy to find, the menu cool, everything went fine. The music was so cool (maybe because the BB hate ;-)) , the guy gave us some advices. The location is cosy but not big enough.

Nice costumer service! Finest greens. Definitely a place to visit

The service was sweet, but watch the scale as they measure! I was too excited about buying my bong to look at what they gave me. Seems a little on the low side. They sell bongs for great prices though!! (~15)

Cosy with a happy atmosphere. Furniture is new and with a modern design. No doubt IKEA is not far away. Its a little expensive but fair.

Lovely girl serving me at the actual bar, the Somali man was extremely rude and aggressive with me because I wasn’t aware I had to buy a drink to sit down, he’s started shouting and making a scene in both Dutch and English and I quickly left embarrassed never to return again. I advise people to get your stuff and leave.
