The Bulldog Ex-Police Station Coffeeshop

Open now

The place is amazing and the history behind it is even more so! Good atmosphere, good music, good service and very good weed ! If you are in Amsterdam, it is a place you must visit.

really cool that there was a coffee shop, and next to it a bar. i enjoyed my sweet-potato fries, bulldog energydrink and other things. i would say it’s a must-do in amsterdam

I went with my family to this coffee shop and there was only one table available for 4 people. I politely asked the Italian waitress if there were any extra chairs, to which she replied, "Do you see any other chairs?" Her response was rude and dismissive. A simple, courteous reply like, "I'm sorry, we don't have other ones," would have sufficed. It was clear she lacked basic customer service skills.

I always come back here! My favourite place ever! Here I ate the best burnt popcorn in my entire life (this isn’t a joke) I was too high and this burnt popcorn made my night. The milkshakes also, oh God, what such delicious drink from heaven. Burguer.. the best!! Thank you!!

Had a terrible experience here. The barista was extremely disrespectful and rude. Forced us to get drinks and then didn’t give us the drinks we asked for and still made us pay. She made us pay separately even though we asked to pay together which charged our cards a ton of fees. Then staff continued to single us out and be disrespectful and to go as far as telling us they are closing an hour and a half earlier to their posted time. I watched staff as they only told us that they were closing as well as only forced us to buy 8 drinks for 5 people while the people directly across from us had 2 drinks for 8 people and then after they left there was a party of 5 people with no drinks. This is the worst bulldog I’ve been too. If you can avoid this place I would.

amazing location, and our server was amazing as well. Guys at the coffee shop were helpful as well, both shifts. Shift change did help at the bar. Staff that was there when we arrived wasn't that great, didn't make us feel all that welcome. but there were beers and herbs, so all was well. Highly recommend their Club Sandwich

Very unfriendly waitress. We were treated badly and arrogantly. Cant recommend. Thought about complaining to the owner but left because we didn't want to cause drama.

Staff was super friendly, especially Sergio :) weed was great, place had a nice vibe 5/5 would def come back!

I was not there , but my dog wanted to make a picture in the Front of the coffeshop

How could you not love this place? I had never been to a place like this before and did not know that there is no alcohol-but there is something better...milkshakes! Would definitely recommend.

Great music and atmosphere. Excellent and timely service. All the waiters do their job at the highest level, and special praise goes to Martin. I will come back again with pleasure. You're wonderful.

Big and historical Coffeeshop, but the service is not the greatest and you have to pay to go to the bathroom (they literally came and got me in the queue and demanded that I pay 0.5€ by card when I’d already purchased both expensive weed and coffee). Not the friendliest nor the best, but worth a visit.

Such a good atmosphere to just look at the walls ,, good menu and friendly staff ,, can request music

What an awesome wee coffee shop you've got to ask about the orange and the jacket tho the hood candy is fire I'd defo recommend I also got one of the bulldog survival kits to take back home what a grate place defo recommended shoot out to K

It was a nice place to smoke . Coffee is 3.2 € milkshakes are 5 -6 euros

Great little boozer with decent atmosphere & if your like me and love a good bit of karaoke

I like this concept of a coffee shop in an ex police station. 5 stars atmosphere.

Staff rude, waited nearly an hour for 2 lattes, weren’t even given lattes, when I said the order was wrong he said ‘no you didn’t’. Didn’t want to wait another 50 mins for replacements so just paid. Went to use the toilet & had to pay 50c…. Had no cash so couldn’t go! As if paying €8 for two thimbles of coffee wasn’t enough.

Love to use the bar area of this place both day or night, will always visit when in Amsterdam

Security was very rude, made me throw out my water from my water bottle because if i want water i have to buy apparently. Then later said we had to order drinks to stay even though we hadnt finished our prerolls.

We went there several times for the coffee shop and drinks and unfortunately this friday night we were not treated well as the first time. The barman was rude to us and we won't be coming back. I ordered a beer (big size) and the barman said that if my girlfriend doesn't drink too we can't stay, so we left. We were not even occupying any table, we were standing close to the bar. We have never seen this in any other bar, really disappointing experience.

Really cool location. Great lesson in the history of Henk and The Bulldog. Weed is good (I recommend the gelato) and prices are decent. Staff are nice but there's a pretty intimidating security guard who comes round and makes you feel like you've over stayed your welcome (we bought 2grams, multiple rounds of drinks and food so it wasn't like we weren't providing them custom). It's also got a nice restaurant upstairs where you can also eat and smoke.

Nice Coffeeshop conveniently located in the middle of Leidseplein. The shop is themed as a police station (which it used to be back before the owner of the Bulldog bought it) The selection of products is large and varied (16 different strains of marijuana and 6 hash types). The Coffeeshop has a bar for (soft)drinks, coffee and some muchie snacks. It is also possible to sit upstairs in the Bulldog Palace café where you can consume your bought products whilst enjoying an alcoholic drink or a nice meal.

The service from a short, Spanish woman, was beyond terrible. Her service and attitude was very rude, short tempered, impatient & it felt like she was trying cause a fight with my fiancé & I. She even caused an uncomfortable & unnecessary scene, in front of other people visiting the bulldog, who where strangers to the both of us. We even left the venue earlier than we would have wanted to, because of how we where treated, by her service. Disgusting behaviour.

nice coffiieshop been here twice, the weed is ok, i've smoked 5-6 types of weed, i had better the food is really good, prices are higher then i was

The cannabis is terrible and overpriced. The staff is super rude and intimidating. We spent 60 euros there and the security thug started intimidating us physically and with words because we didn't want to get a a drink. This is called extortion and I have reported with the police and I am talking with my lawyer because everything is recorded.

Bought prerolled here. Tobacco and low grade hedge clippings at best. Waste of time and money. Very poor, the canal probably has more THC in it. Find a proper cafe.

If you want to drink/eat and smoke it is the biggest and propably the best place. You know what you get, often a lot of people here. Coffeeshop next door had a lot on the menu as well. Small fast line and not so much time to look thru the menu, should make the menu accessible closer to the entrance and rest of the line.

Super cool place downstairs. The guy at the selling desk was a bit rude when I asked him about the types they had on the menu, so took a star off.
