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

Wesley Rees - 3 months ago

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.

Sacha Fuchs - 5 months ago

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

Dima Ko - 10 months ago

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…

Aleksas Gernys - 10 months ago

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.

Marizeth Vieira da Silva Pereira Paraiso - 11 months ago

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

Cindy - 11 months ago

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

maarten smits - 1 year ago

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.

Aaron Stiby - 1 year ago

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

The Last Sketchbook - 1 year ago

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.

Nathan Harvengt - 1 year ago

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.

Aleksi Ståhle - 1 year ago

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!

AJR - 1 year ago

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

James Bleasdale - 1 year ago

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.

Dariusz Szypielewicz - 1 year ago

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.

Adrian M. - 1 year ago

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

Alex Brodsky - 1 year ago

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.

keith whitaker - 1 year ago

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 ✌️❤️

Daniele Mirri - 1 year ago

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

Karim Boulahya cha - 1 year ago

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

Robert Christie - 1 year ago

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

2 - 1 year ago

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.

Kyle Faver - 1 year ago

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.

Guillaume Valette (KnightOfSwords) - 1 year ago

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

Dalibor Thanks - 1 year ago

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

Nayanjyoti Kalita - 1 year ago

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!

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

Tom Green - 2 years ago

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

Daniel Hilhorst - 2 years ago

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

Silver Rising - 2 years ago

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

Young Jae Kim - 2 years ago

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.

Rashid M. Mohamed - 2 years ago

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.

Shiana Shan - 2 years ago

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.

Richard Murray - 2 years ago

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

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.

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.

Adrian Matuszak - 3 years ago

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

Youri Hommen - 3 years ago

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.

pupuzivs - 3 years ago

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.

Sz. Szabolcs - 3 years ago

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 )

Coffee n’ Peanuts - 4 years ago

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.

Ariel - 4 years ago

Best weed ever go to roots its very good five stars

Роттердам В - 4 years ago

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

Eirini Panagiotopoulou - 4 years ago

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.

thymen ooijevaar - 4 years ago

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.

César Brun - 4 years ago

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.

stacey clarke - 5 years ago

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

Rimovanax zmije - 5 years ago

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.

Paul Chersulich - 5 years ago

The best, plus the best cake, congrats!

dave maffey - 5 years ago

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 :)

Samuel Wegener - 5 years ago

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

Stewart Hartigan - 5 years ago

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.

weedstagram 420 - 5 years ago

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.

Naja Man - 5 years ago

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

Jerry Javier - 5 years ago

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.

Nicola Gedye - 5 years ago

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!!

Csaba Sári - 6 years ago

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.

Fera Mags - 6 years ago

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

Taylor Thielman - 6 years ago

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)

Dan Bergenholz - 6 years ago

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.

Nandi Shakira Browne - 6 years ago

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.
