Such a friendly atmosphere, really helpful staff too. Just a shame we didn't have much time to be able to go back before we flew home. Lx

It's was easy to get to. I took the tram line 2 and walk a short distance. I passed it, but the smell told me I was near so I stopped and looked up and there it was. The guy at the counter is very friendly. Since.i don't smoke, he suggested the brownies or the donuts. I opted for the donuts.

A lovely coffee filled with blessed tunes and vibes! I got a g of rainbow sherbet and it was a good smoke. I trust these guys. Will definitely be coming back when I visit Amsterdam again :)) recommended!! Will always support black owned businesses ❤️❤️

Here to say this for the 3rd time after they delete negative reviews. Absolutely scam master rudest people around and the worst week ever. Do not waste your time or money on scammers with some of the worst weed in Amsterdam. The only reason they have 4 1/2 star is due to them deleting anything negative related to the store

My friend and I were in Amsterdam for two days and decided to stop by on our last night. Perfect timing too, because there was a huge storm and the king and queen were arriving in town. We walked into this place and were assisted by the lovely Johnson. Such a nice dude!! I bought the brownie and my friend got the pre-rolled sativa joint. Im not really a smoker and have taken edibles less than 5 times. The brownie took about an hour and a half to kick in but once it did, holy smokes, I was very high LOL. I kid you not, I was stoned for 16 hours. Not a mellow kind of stoning but SUPER high. We had a great time in the city, though! Definitely recommend this place. Go say hi to our friend Johnson!! Sincerely, The girls from Switzerland and the US! :)

Lovely shop, attentive customer service! Will definitely visit again! Would have been 5 stars if they had herbal mix but very minor for the overall experience!

Great menu, cool staff. Doughnuts didn't touch me or my mate though and we ate all 6 each haha. But I have found edibles don't often hit me so not trying to slam these guys as its a great coffeeshop with a very good priced menu.

Good flower, good hash, good vibes, good prices, the doughnuts didn’t work though, and 4 different people tried them. Idk if it was just bad luck or whatever. But they didn’t do anything to any of us. Would go back if I was ever in Amsterdam again

Lad serving there was great, very nice and helpful. I bought the 6 pack of mini doughnuts. Good variety on menu. Will definitely make this a regular place now i know where it is

I spent Juneteenth touring dispensaries in Amsterdam, basking in the afterglow of the Renaissance Tour the night before. Blackstar is where I decided to vibe for most of the day. The space is small but the selection is cool and the staff friendly. The music is great and the soundtrack of downtempo hip hop and R&B is kinda exactly how I wanted to spend my day. The upstairs space can get kind of busy, but it's cute if you post up in the corner. The downstairs space seems like it can get stuffy but there weren't enough people down there to make it so when I went in. As for the dispensary selection, it was among the betters of my tour. The Cheetah Piss? Bar none. My friends and I are still talking about it. lol.

I've tried many Coffeeshops pre-rolls over the last couple of years and just tried a pure one here last night. It was BY FAR the BEST tasting pre-roll I have had! So impressed, and the quality of the roll itself was great. Great prices and quality on loose bud as well.

Ryan McGarrity - 10 months ago

Sabrina Wahome - 11 months ago

This was my first coffee shop that I visited in Amsterdam. I had such a brilliant time here. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the two guys that were there (i forgot their names unfortunately) were very nice and accommodating. I chose the blue basquiat and that was AMAZING. This is the only coffee shop i will be going to when i return to Amsterdam. I highly recommend them!!!

Blackstar is an amazing coffeeshop with nice customers and a good vibe. I would recommend you to go and have a look!

Lucy - 1 year ago

Friendly staff, one of the only coffee shops which still lists a description of potential effects. Better coffee would definitely elevate this spot. We sat out, so not sure what inside seating is like.

Jon Miller - 1 year ago

Conor Lyons - 2 years ago

My new favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. The staff were so friendly and helpful (especially the English girl). A real hidden gem. The price to quality ratio is much better than other shops this close to the city.

Brittney Williams - 2 years ago

I visited in hopes on supporting a black owned business only to encounter a very rude hostess that refused to acknowledge whether me and answer whether or not the business was open or offer assistance in purchasing. There was construction going on but guests out front. Ended up leaving.

Keto Mejo - 2 years ago

Me and my friends visited Amsterdam for 4 Days and unfortunately found this coffeeshop on our last day. The prices were the lowest i have seen but the quality was still better than every coffeeshop we went to (we went to alot of coffeeshops). They also have Moonrocks and homemade Brownies for a very good price. There were only one guy working there but he was very chill and informative. I talked to a local in front of the coffeshop and he besides the size of the shop (they were only open for takeaway due to corona regulations) he had nothing bad to say about them. Shame that we got ripped off at other coffeeshops before but for the next time i for sure know where to go!

Mirek Wejer - 3 years ago

Yesterday I bought white widow there and it doesn't working at all. You sell CBD here? My wife normally don't smoke and she wasn't high too.

Joel Joseph - 4 years ago

One of the most authentic coffeeshops I've been to in Dam. Most seem to cater to tourists and end up ripping off customers. These guys have a relatively small set-up but a good one.

Nut _ - 4 years ago

We bought purple haze and Jamaican sensi, and it was one of the worst weed we ever received. There were even seeds in it which is not a good sign.

Sunshine Davis - 5 years ago

Went here because of an article from Travel Noire. This was a great place with a nice variety. DO NOT go to the atm across the street. They charged me $30 to take out $100. Get cash before you go because they don’t take cards. Other than that, everything was great!

Mohaned Yildiz - 5 years ago

Best shop of Amsterdam!! I always enjoy my moment inside. Best service and verry nice, and most important best stuff !!!!

Yiannis Dragonas - 5 years ago

Great place, great prices, friendly and cozy with a dub reggae vibe. Unlike the mainstream tourist oriented industry of Centrum

Damelady - 5 years ago

Nice service, but 10 euros on a brownie and nothing happened

Sean Poulton - 5 years ago

Fantastic coffee shop! The guy behind the counter provides excellent service and is genuinely nice to talk to. A little outside the city centre so it doesn't seem to get overly packed. Really nice products as well. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Clive Higgleton - 5 years ago

Nice little coffee shop near Anne Frank's. The dude at the counter very nice, sorted me out a much needed tea. Simple decor inside with ragga vibes.

Sean Daniels - 6 years ago

hands down Best Kept Secret Amsterdam Rai story time at the touristy stuff but if you want stuff that rivals Californian & Vancouver go here say hello to Brite (Bright)

Ashton Henri Scharneck - 6 years ago

Ducked in here to hide from the rain, the owner (I assume, it seemed like a one-man operation) was extremely hospitable and treated us so kindly. Had a decent cup of coffee and a nice relaxing sit down. Not the most high end coffee shop in the world, but for a quick relaxing sit down its a good place to be. If your not a fan of the cannabis scene the obviously its not a good place to be, but even if you don't smoke and don't mind the smoke, I will still recommend just for the smiles.

Michael Todd - 6 years ago

There isn’t much too it, but they know what they are doing. It’s one of the more quiet coffee shops and less touristy, which is really great if you’re looking for a close to local experience. The staff are really helpful and the strains are pretty solid in effect and also selection. If you’re in the Jordaan and need green, go here!

handriya yogaswara - 6 years ago

Hands down one of the best coffeshops in Amsterdam real nice sitting area in the front, some of the best prices for amazing buds. Must go in Amsterdam less than 5 minute walk from Ann frank house

Salvatore Scalia - 8 years ago

This place is an icon of Amsterdam, if you dont visit this shop and tune into the vibe, you only saw 1/2 of the city. Respect !!!

Jamie Malorni - 8 years ago

Great spot to pick up a little special product for your Amsterdam adventure. I used to buy a lot of Sputnik (great value for money) but recently I haven't enjoyed it as much. Still a favorite place to get my product

Andrew Kiseliov - 8 years ago

caribean/african style here. God stuff and prices. Try jamaican sensi.
