We visited many coffee shops as you do, but definitely felt the most comfortable in The Dolphin so kept revisiting. The decor inside is amazing, so unique I love it! plenty of space too which I like as some shops I feel I am very squish. Also the hot chocolate is chefs kiss!! 10/10 for me highly recommended!

Really awesome place. Nice and comfy with water aesthetics and marine decoration so it looks like your under water. The music was always good too and the hospitality is very friendly. It's very spacious including a second floor downstairs with more seating. Recommend highly to come here.

Feel yourself floating after you leave this place. Very authentic vibe. Great music selection. Uplifting with all the goodies. Great selection of strains and edibles (premium quality).

Definitely recommend. My girl and I weren’t feeling so well after smoking a joint since this was our first time trying something stronger. The young clerk gave me great advice and a complementary juice and cookies and also kept on asking if we were feeling better. Much thanks.

Great staff very friendly. This is the only place so far that showed us the weed and let us smell it before buying. We went for strawberry banana is so fruity. Lovely flavours and lots to choose from. Hot chocolate with cream is amazing

I love the Dolphins coffeeshop! First off the weed is very good (I am a regular medical user). The staff smile they are friendly and patient. Good music good energy. Relaxing but also uplifting atmosphere. I recommend this spot for groups but also good if you come solo my first time here was march 2016 and now on October 2023 it feels like it hasn’t changed one bit. That’s a good thing!) I love this place. the dolphins is very professional and I recommend it to anyone who’s looking to chill in the best coffeeshop in Amsterdam.

Nice place to chill with your friends. I went a few times here with my family/friends. The vibe is chill. Downstairs there is Moroccan style salons (sala 3arabia). The Moroccan mint tea is nice (make sure you add the honey packets). Dolphin pictures on the walls. I never smoked here. I think I get high with secondhand smoke anyways. So I recommend for everyone.

Nice and ambient, great atmosphere, good smoke, well priced... Plus they gave me a free ice pop, I'm sure that had nothing biased to do with this feedback...

very friendly and professional staff :) you get free papes and tips for rolling. and I even got a free lighter when I asked if I can buy one :) besides the usual stuff, you can also buy many different kinds of edibles, like two different kinds of space muffins, a brownie and dutch waffles with two different strengths. The strong one had 0.5 g and the extra strong one had 1 g. very tasty and not as much food as the muffins with just 0.5 each.

The dolphins
Allie A - 7 months ago
A fine and respectable establishment proving bud and dolphin decor for over 20 years. INCREDIBLE. Amazing decor, you really don’t get themed Coffeeshop experiences in Amsterdam like this.Kind and helpful service, great quality weed, and enough styrofoam coral to reach ganja enlightenment and a sufficient number of throw pillows. Dolphins has my business for the foreseeable future. Also in the best neighborhood in Amsterdam for live music and millennials.

Amazing experience here. was in sat in for hours. everything is reasonable price. amazing quality. staff are lovely and welcoming and generally overall just nice people. definitely worth the walk from the centre !!
Shaunnah Crosbie - 7 months ago
One of the cleanest coffee shops by far. Good price and polite staff. Very welcoming with a lovely seating area downstairs to relax. Air conditioning and they gave us complimentary chocolates for free
Andrew Lyons - 7 months ago
Just what we needed!!! Great service, just the perfect vibe, even at 9am on a Monday morning after a 24 hour flight from Sydney. The coffee’s even good.

10/10 Coffeeshop. The vibe was really chill. The music selection was really good. This place had a lot of pre-rolled options which was really nice since others have like just 2. When you enter it almost feels like you walked in the little mermaids secret hideout spot. The street view is nice and calm to people watch but you can also space out looking at the decoration inside
Megan Greenfield - 8 months ago
Great first timer cafe! A definite must visit while in Amsterdam. Very friendly staff, great selection and just an overall amazing vibe. Mine and my boyfriends favourite cafe so far

Great coffeeshop, with a vast selection of high quality cannabis products. Made to feel very welcome. Awesome decoration, and fairly comfortable seating compared to other coffeeshops. Crysanthe was such a lovely host and looked after us so well, such a warm, friendly woman with a beautiful smile. Definitely worth a visit!
Carolina Girafa - 9 months ago
One of the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam! Even if you don't have much time in the city, you should definitely plan a stop there. Their theme is the sea bottom and aneverything is themed, even the water bottles! Also the weed is amazing and they have great hash price options too!
Luna Sky - 9 months ago
Great coffee shop with a really nice welcoming vibe. Very relaxing experience. We tried some edibles and the extra strength waffles were so tasty! The decor is really beautiful too. Will definitely be back.

Super cool interior! It looks like real coral and the dolphin. Also great product and prices. I’ve never had a bad experience.
Pooja Kaur - 9 months ago
Such chilled vibes! Weed is on point, staff are lovely and really welcoming. There is additional seating downstairs with really comfy booths. Music couldn’t be better! Location is ideal- definitely worth a visit
Ruben Manzio - 10 months ago
Great selection on their menu with a wide price range for everyone's budget. Staff is very professional, helpful and friendly. Very comfortable sitting area and well ventilated. Very chill vibe and upbeat music. The interior design is quite unique as it feels like you are smoking underwater with the dolphins. Definitely one of our favourite spots around.
Lisa Fausneaucht - 10 months ago
Great music. BRILLIANT environment. Best weed in Amsterdam. We came here TWICE during our 2-day trip to the Netherlands.

Amazing coffeeshop best price quality in the city center of Amsterdam by far! The people who work there are super kind always happy and put a big smile on your face. They also have a big lounge area downstairs all and all the best experience i have had

Such a good vibe in this place. Great menu, the staff are lovely and the music is spot on.

Used to always love to go to this place for their amazing edibles, their space muffins and red velvet cakes were so good… for years the recipe has been untouched and now the last 6 months or so you can’t find those delicious edibles anymore. New recipe doesn’t have the same flavour, smaller cake in general, less fluffy and not so enjoyable anymore. Which for me personally is really sad to see the old edibles go. Never change a winning formula!

My favourite coffee shop in Amsterdam :) I always come back, when I have the chance. The service is very friendly and the place is just gorgeous :)
Samantha Ortiz - 1 year ago
Cute under the sea themed coffee shop. Quieter than other coffee shops in the area. They do make you purchase a beverage to enjoy their other items in shop.
Drago S - 1 year ago
The place is nice, but staff is not! Unfortunately i had a terrible experience, especially with the young woman who forced us to leave the coffeeshop just after having bought a gram of hash and a cappuccino.. after 20mins i couldnt finish my joint in peace. Other staff im sure are good, but not the one i met. At least the stuff is good
Moritz Weidner - 1 year ago
The dolphins was the coffeeshop i lived the most. They have huge variety of weed and also have an amazing chilling lounge. The staff was very nice!

A really unique coffeeshop in Amsterdam won't find another like this. Check it out. Great menu with some old school strains. Friendly helpful staff and a good drink selection.

What can I say? Amazing! The staff are just lovely and attentive. The seating downstairs is extremely cosy. I would 100% recommend trying the hot chocolate.

Please go downstairs. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Always very comfortable, good items and nice staff.
Luca Italiano - 1 year ago
Quite possibly the worst coffeeshop I've been to. I was meeting a few friends from a trip who had a head start on me and had already been seated, I walked in to meet them downstairs and was immediately stopped saying I need to buy weed and a drink, I responded by saying I want to make sure my friends are downstairs first... She wouldn't let me go down! I proceeded to buy a coffee, her attitude was awful, huffing and puffing as I didn't get something "easy". When she served it, I asked for some sweetener and she responded with "anything else? bring it down for you??" The lady working with her, grabbed me some and apologized on her behalf.

Great visuals, underwater theme. One of the originals and one of the best.
Hardeep Ubhi - 1 year ago
What a great place to enjoy Amsterdam's finest. The atmosphere is great. The downstairs area is great to lounge around and enjoy some great products. The music they play is really good, gets you in the right mood. Opens from 8 and all the staff are very friendly
Jasmin E (Jas) - 1 year ago
The decor was amazing upstairs and downstairs has a nice little seating area (steep steps be careful) the staff are lovely and friendly. The lady who served us was very attentive and more than helpful with advice and things to do. The coffee was the best we had. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite places in Amsterdam, it has an unique design. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Also the staff was very nice. :)
Shantanu Singha - 1 year ago
One of my favourite places in the Netherlands and my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. The staff and the stuff are both amazing and they suggest you the best weed of the day. You can also roll a joint and smoke in the coffeeshop. Try securing the table right at the entrance.

I think it has one of the best 4€ pre-rolled in Amsterdam. Tabaco doesn't taste old and can see actually green through the paper.

A really unique coffeeshop in Amsterdam won't find another like this. Cool looking under water interior , plenty of tables for guests. Produce itself isn't expensive, can be busy at times. Very chilled timed to be had would recommend spending some time in here

Best coffeshop in Amsterdam. Great staff, always super friendly and welcoming. The smoking area downstairs looks like a old submarine. It’s an amazing experience too chill there.The products are also of very good quality and fair price.
Simon Wright - 2 years ago
Adding for a wasted friend that visited 20 years ago. He still insists that "WhiteDolphin" sold here around 2000 was the best he's had. He remembers the Blue Dolphin in the window.

The problem was the employer took it as personal insult that my pal put up his legs on the sofa (cause of the severe pain in his leg) We told him, but as I said didn't show any slight of understanding. Fokin good goods but never go back and can't recommend cause of the reason I mentioned. Rude and very sensitive staff...

I was here 10 years ago and always wanted to come back, the place hasn't changed, it was like walking back in time again. Lovely place, knowledgeable staff and a great place to chill in. Keep the good work up guys, see you in another 10 years.
podgemaster 3000 - 4 years ago
Great place. Comfortable seats, friendly helpful staff, good weed.
Bryony Manley - 4 years ago
Female staff member felt she was either 'above' customers or just straight up didn't want to be there. Asked about cakes, she got one pre-packaged out of the fridge, chucked it on the counter without even looking at us. Pre-rolled products are of questionable quality and decor is tacky... I'm just another person echoing of all their poor reviews.
Joey Campbell - 4 years ago
I was here about two years ago. Then it was great. Friendly staff. Fine selection. Cute downstairs area to smoke. Today I was here. The girl was not friendly. Said we couldn’t smoke there unless we bought drinks which we did. Then we were told that we actually couldn’t smoke there at all because there were three of us. There’s enough places around to not have to deal with all of their politics
Johannes Wold - 4 years ago
Extremely nice location for anyone wishing to have a decent, fresh and smooth bud in Amsterdam. The staff is exceptional, and super friendly. I would recommend going there during daylight as we had the most fun going there then :)
Samantha Jones - 4 years ago
Lots to look at. Downstairs is for tobacco smokers. As the name suggests, very aquatic theme. Upstairs coral reef, downstairs submarine. Friendly staff, kept nice and clean. Good, though limited menu and advice.

Four of us went in on Tuesday lunchtime. Went to buy a 25€ gram of kief. Was asked to buy at least 3 grams for us to sit in. Ironically would have spent over 100€ had they not been so desperate to take in a few more euros right away. Left without buying. The atmosphere was non existent as there were only 2 people there.. don't visit
Innes - 4 years ago
Nice small coffee shop worth finding if ever in Amsterdam and on a weed tour of the city. I would recommended the northern lights. If you go in a large group the shop assistant will ask for most of the group to buy weed and drinks
Sandra Dwyer - 4 years ago
Visited last weekend and was blown away by the atmosphere. Staff were lovely and very knowledgeable, drinks were reasonably priced and I love the underwater vibe. Thank you for your great hospitality. Back in January. Xxx

The best, coziest and friendliest Coffee Shop in Amsterdam! The decor is beautifully ocean-inspired, the menu is small but great and the place just screams for a relaxing stay with a fresh orange juice and a joint. Its by-far our favourite. While other Coffee Shops are dull, dark and sometimes dirty, this one is the exact opposite! See ya next year, greetings from Switzerland!
Stef Schoepple - 4 years ago
This place was one of my favourite stops in Amsterdam when I visited in 2017! The atmosphere and decor is beautiful, imaginative, immersive, and relaxing. The strains available there were varied and well priced, and the food and drink offerings, though limited, were tasty and refreshing and surprisingly health-conscious. The staff are friendly, laid back, and extremely helpful. Honestly, even if coffee shops aren't your bag, this place is worth it just to grab a cool drink in a unique and convenient location around the canals.
Felix Mulder - 4 years ago
A little overpriced and they make you buy an expensive drink to go downstairs! but really nice staff none-the-less with cool and unique underwater interior! Try their space cakes!
Kayleigh Stockings - 4 years ago
Love this coffee shop, one of my favs as i love the whole under water theme. It has very good design and detail. Also the staff were very helpful and friendly and it is reasonably priced.
steven webster - 4 years ago
The inside is nice, however I felt very forced into doing anything by the lady, which compared to my other coffee shop experiences, was very different and unpleasant. The weed they sell is very mediocre, but fairly cheap. If you want a good coffee shop experience avoid this. Especially if it is your first experience.
Beáta Csilla Tóth - 5 years ago
Nice, chilling place with very kind personal . There are TVs on the wall which play funny pictures. Separate nontabac and tabac area. Lovely
Jason Green - 5 years ago
I like this spot. Discovered it first in 2010. Good vibes, nice people, good weed. Dig the downstairs chill zone. Cool shirts!
Daniel Palomares - 5 years ago
This groovy establishment is located in a very central part of the city that deserves exploration. The staff were super helpful in setting up a very clean and "orderly" vaporizer, and they showed me and my girlfriend what to do, and volunteered to clean the contraption. I loved that they were so calm and friendly. The vape experience was really easy and fun. I was very inexperienced so this was nice. The walls of this establishment are a colorful artistic rendition of a marvelous underwater/coral reef "scuba world" with dolphins, fish etc. There are refreshments and snacks to be had for very reasonable prices. I had some exotic soda pop. Take your time here. Relax and take it all in... This place is well-known for a reason, which means that they have a good product, staff and management. I'd love to go back.
Akif Mirza - 5 years ago
Used to be a great place, now there's some angry lady behind the counter who simply scares most people away. Went in to have muffins and hot chocolate, only to be told that we can't sit and have them because muffins are for takeaway only (which is why we bought the hot chocolates) but we're still told that we can't sit despite buying drinks. Disgraceful attitude, you literally see people walk in and then walk straight out after being spoken to in such an unprofessional manner. On the plus side, great decor, great muffins.
BURR GURR - 5 years ago
Have visited this place several times and normally receive great service. One of the female members is incredibly rude pretty much told us to buy our weed and get out, because there wasn't room for us, despite there only being 4 of us, and no one else in the upstairs area at the time. Every other visit has been fine, helpful staff with a welcoming attitude.

AVOID Avoid Avoid. Rude staff. Impolite to customers. Just want your money and for you not to hang around. Other shops near by are much nicer and friendlier. The shop decor is just a gimmick to draw you in.
gary naylor - 7 years ago
Very rude staff! If you want visit a place with good vibe and nice people avoid this place! Is a very expensive tourist trap!
ashleigh sell - 7 years ago
Only went in here as loads have recommended there space cakes, and they were delicious ! But the service we got was awful . The lady serving was just rude , and be littling ! We thought we'd have a nice chill out with our space muffin and some smoke. But in the end we just purchased the space cake and left after being made to feel uncomfortable by the worker. GET SOME FRIENDLY STAFF
A Google User - 7 years ago
The staff appeared nice and gave regular customer service but they were very rude. The owner said some comment as I was leaving. Refused to give me a little bit of hot water for my tea which I bought there. Was told I had to puchase again just for more hot water. Interior designs and music/vibe were the highlights otherwise without it, the establishment is run by strict and business minded people.
Jay Eff - 7 years ago
Good shop. You have to pay for weed or hash first then you can buy tea or coffee. Vaporizers for use by requires a ten euro deposit. Yes they are business minded and they have their system. If you don't like it go somewhere else. I like this place a lot.
Craig Hughes - 7 years ago
Great little shop with a good selection of product. Over two floors, tobacco smoking is only permitted downstairs (that includes mixing it), but both floors are beautifully decorated and it was a great place to chill out with a drink for a while
Gayle Martin - 7 years ago
July 2016. They have a couple of cute perky Australian girls working there- they were very nice but too warm an smoky downstairs we were glad to get out of there.
Adam Robinson - 7 years ago
My favourite decorated coffeeshop in Amsterdam! Small menu and a few seats upstairs with volcanos. Buy a drink and go downstairs into the Atlantas themed cosy seating. A must visit spot.
Barry Wright - 7 years ago
Good atmosphere, friendly staff and no overbearing music. Nice and chilled out, just what you want after a hectic day
Charles Floate - 7 years ago
Great with the new rules, the bud is strong but feels more medical than most of the other shops. Drinks were great, limited food range and the best vapes in Dam.
Josh Hubbard - 8 years ago
We were rushed immediately, with the waitress taking no sympathy on the fact we had never set foot in the shop before. She was rude and generally unpleasant. After we were seated, she would increase pressure to finish as soon as possible and it left us unable to relax. There are much better coffee shops

Vijay N. Dixit - 8 years ago
There is a clear nexus between hotels, restaurants and coffee shops. I saw "Apollo" spring up in each place I was recommended in a chain of destinations. Let's come to the point. Dolphin has a menu and unhelpful girls manning the sales they did not seem to have any idea of the experience their goods give, and are *clearly incompetent* in helping, or willingness to help. Goto "The Noon", it is not too far away from this, and the guys at "the noon", they know the things they sell.
Dan Alexandru Pod - 8 years ago
Personally, it's the first coffee shop I've been in when I first Visited Amsterdam. Loved it and every time I've visited since I kept bringing friends there. It's now all my friend's special little coffee shop. OK - now for the fun part: I can recommend the Northern Lights for a wake n' bake. Tried the Diesel and White Dolphin - not bad. However my weed of choice this summer was their Tesla weed. Now I just need the car that goes with it :P
