The Rookies Coffeeshop

Open now

We have been in the rookies everyday Service is very very good almost best we experienced in all of our vacation The coffee is amazing - best coffee we had The air is always clean which was really important for us Really really good music Modern look Thank you Rookies staff for 5 days we visited . Highly recommend !!!!!!

In my opinion, the best coffee shop in Amsterdam. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff, absolutely fair prices. Small terrace directly in the alley. I would particularly like to emphasize that guests with their dogs are also welcome here. Thumbs up!

Underrated gem! I stayed nearby in January and Rookies had was a regular hangout most days. This place has amazing decor, furniture, art, dim lighting and great music playing and it’s all very clean so it’s easy to get comfortable. The drinks, service, staff, smokes were all tops like really no complaints. How am I the first review to this place?

Great place, Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Spent a lot of time here and recommend to anyone who prefers a quieter and more chilled environment. Very well ventilated and the hot chocolate is the best I've had! Everything is really reasonably priced too. Also lots of menu choices and great quality products.

Great atmosphere Great joints Good selection of drinks Good prices Great music Good people Friendly staff Excellent location.... Came to dam for 4 days and visited 3 times....Def my favorite! Only recommendation would love for the couches to be a bit bigger and more comfy.

My favourite spot, nice and chilled atmosphere, do a lovely cup of tea and their products are always top notch without breaking the bank. End up here every night I’m in Amsterdam

I was sitting at a table and a guy propped open a door to let all the cold in. I went to close the door to not let the cold in. The guy standing at the front yelled at me and told me I do not have permission to close the door (apparently he works there although was not working at the time and wears no rookies sweatshirt). He then proceeded to put his hand on me and told me the door would not be shut. I asked if he was joking and he said no. He then proceeded to put his hand on me and I asked him not to touch me and he did not have my consent. He then cussed in my face and then told me to sit down and he would close the door. I went to ask for his name at the check out counter, as I thought his behavior very aggressive, and that’s when they informed me that he actually does work here. No one would apologize to me for the outside behavior or reaction until I said I was going to do a review. Do not bother spending your money here- there are plenty of other coffee shops that will not verbally harass you or put their hands on you.

Nice place. The biscotti mintz was very nice, we went back a second time for more. Definitely the best weed of our trip and we tried 6 strains in total. Generally friendly place. But loses a star for the crazy trip hop/rock genre of music they were blasting out. Thank the lord I hadn't eaten some truffles before I visited it would have truly twisted my brain. But would definitely recommend and visit again

Of the many coffeeshops I hung out at in Amsterdam, there is one clear winner…. The Rookies Coffeeshop is a class act. This is a great place to spend time in. The staff is wonderful, cappuccino is delicious, and the prices are incredibly fair. So when you get done touring museums, canals, or whatever you happen to be doing in Amsterdam; do yourself a favor and stop by for a while. You will hear good music and see pleasant, smiling faces all around. As an added bonus, there’s no tobacco allowed they have a hemp alternative to replace it set out on every table. Don’t worry if it’s crowded, there’s a reason for that!

After spending the day wandering alone I stumbled into this shop. Great vibe. Bustling. Good music. I’m totally happy with sitting on my own enjoying coffee with speculoos syrup.

One of my favourite and best Coffeeshop in the City,first the staff always been very good to me every time! And the place unique wood decorating ,the Cannabis and Hashish products are top quality and good reasonable prices, lots of Restaurants and Bars or Cafes and Cinema and Museums near by so you can go and come back to this Coffeeshop at anytime! Good owners and management

Nice chilled ambiance. Helpful, polite. Good choice, ready rolled does save time. Spent a couple of hours here with my partner, relaxing. A must go as very chilled out.

We have been to Amsterdam twice in 2 years and it is our favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam! The staff is so nice the place is clean, music was good. Love the decor and even got a T-shirt. Thanks for the great memories we will be back!

Visited the Rookies at the weekend for the first time, I was looking specifically for some nice old skool hash and they sure didn’t disappoint. The triple sifted and Pavarti Cream were of outstanding quality and a very fair price. They had some other Indian/Moroccan hash too and a good selection of weed.The guy serving was friendly and answered all my questions. The atmosphere was nice, I stayed had a coffee and a smoke and left a happy man. I will be returning in the future.

We have been visiting the coffeeshop twice and both times were great! The Quality is good and the staffs are very kind. The shop itself looks pretty and very clean, it feels like a comfy living room. Definitely worth a visit!

Gimme gimme gimme just a smile Let the good vibes get a lot stronger This coffeeshop is a vibe. Every time I go to Amsterdam, I stop by. From the perfect blend of music and atmosphere to the finest joints and that irresistible hot chocolate with cream—it’s pure magic in every sip.

Went to a different coffee shop the night before & they had a bunch of stuff on the menu that was out of stock. Came here today & asked the guy that spoke italian behind the counter if they had certain items and then we were met with the nastiest attitude. Yes, if it’s on the menu then you guys will probably have it but it doesn’t hurt to make sure. Chill out my guy, we were just asking a harmless question, no need to get all defensive.

I visited this place for the first time on 18.08 at around 22pm, and that young woman behind the counter was extremely unfriendly and super rude, she was trying to avoid selling me something and to make me get out and leave, i stayed very calm ordered and paid, also for the ☕ i was trying to enjoy outside with my Wife, but that woman and even her college always came to check on us to be sure we don't enjoy our time there together. I was very disappointed by that behavior and decided to not come back again!

Great spot! The space cakes are delicious, the staff is super friendly, and the place is spotless with awesome music. Definitely worth a visit!

I had a short break in Amsterdam and went to Rookies every day,excellent menu with quality, smooth weed, one day I left a piece hash there and when I went back the young lady who served me gave it to me,she was very kind and thoughtful and made my day, all the staff were friendly and helpful and going there was always a pleasant experience, well done to them all, especially the lovely lady who saved my hash for me. Cheers Billy

In general, this Shop has a super chill Atmosphere with dimmed lights and a calming interior,, - BUT the music is too loud to have conversations AND!! there is a Dog in there that has its own set blanket and stuff meaning it's there permanently, which I find very distressing as THC is really harmful to animals..!

Visited Amsterdam for the first time and decided to take shrooms for the first time from a different place, which was not the best decision making! One of the people working here let us in when we were panicking (I think he could tell we were tripping) and we stayed and had drinks for a couple of hours. The staff were so lovely and the atmosphere was great. Thank you so much to that member of staff. Will definitely visit again!

I am glad I found this coffeeshop. Good and calm atmosphere, very nice and friendly service, very good coffee! Definitely worth it! I enjoyed every minute!

We went to a lot of coffeshops that we researched before the trip and this one we encountered randomly and it is our favorite one! Great atmosphere and great weed, highly recommend visiting!

Great coffeeshop with an awesome crew! Been coming here for many years and now I’m looking forward to how the place is gonna look after remodeling. After visiting many coffeeshops in Amsterdam, this is my favorite one for the flower, music and vibe. I was gonna dock them one star for their new grinder that doesnt work well, I prefer the old plastic one, but I can’t do it to my friends there. But that new grinder sucks. Bring back the old one.

We were treated very poorly, left without smoking because the waiter constantly stared at us, laughing, and insulted us when we ordered the herbs and drinks. Don't go there; it's the place where I've been treated worst in my life. They also made racist and homophobic comments.

Been visiting Amsterdam for a couples of days with my friends, and we found this Coffee Shop. Each day we came back here to chill. High quality weed, soft drinks and also sweets you can find there. Welcoming atmosphere and great playlist

Good material and nice prices. You will find here everything you look for. Nice place to chill. You can sit here and smoke as long as you buy drinks or material. Other Shops often insist on both. Friendly staff but drinks could be quicker. Top shop we will come back.

Perfect place! Excellent staff and knowledgeable folks that provide amazing advice and recommendations. Homey atmosphere and reasonable prices.

I don't smoke, or use Cannabis however we visited on a recent trip to Amsterdam for my wife to purchase. She's not a regular cannabis smoker, and told the woman serving that this was her second time smoking. She asked for something very light. The person, we feel gave her something extremely strong as when she smoked the joint that she was given, she completely passed out. She said that it was one of the strongest things she has ever had and had no control over her body while smoking what they gave her. On the upside, the coffeeshop is clean and seemed really popular. I've heard the actual coffee is great, but I didn't get to try.

Great experience! Chill music and friendly/helpful staff.

Go! By far the best coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Great place to relax, smoke, and just feel like a regular. Best staff, great service, and always a dog or two there to make it feel like home. See you in a few weeks! Go!!

Friendly staff, good drinks and a nice assortment of buds for you to enjoy. We were NEVER hassled to order more drinks every 5 minutes like in some other shops. Will definitely visit again and I cannot recommend it enough.

Avoid this place if you don’t like to be treated like $hit. The tall guy wearing glasses needs some costumer services training. It was very unpleasant to be approached by him and his rude behaviour. I don’t know his name but his bossy behaviour isn’t acceptable and I was totally in the mood to stay at this coffee shop. Had to leave after buying what I went for, unfortunately. It’s a shame since the place itself it’s cozy and welcoming. Tourists avoid this place because they will treat you in a very rude way.

great atmosphere, tasty coffee, friendly staff and good weed! we kept coming back and didn’t even try to look for another coffee shop :-D the prices are great for what you get - the edibles especially, that were tasty and strong. very chill vibes, they don’t sell alcohol so it’s just weed, great music (reggae, dub and funk) and people chatting. they provide free rolling papers and let you borrow grinders. great place for introverts looking for a place to smoke and have a coffee or hot chocolate! (the photo was taken right as they were closing but it’s usually very lively, but not overwhelming) another thing is if you look young, remember to bring your physical id because the staff are told to be strict letting guests in!

Excellent service, nice vibes and very pet friendly. They brought us water for our dog every time we came back. Really recommend.

Great music. Really nice vibes. Friendly staff. Plus inside there is good ventilation, so it's pleasant to sit in. Update: Been to 5 different coffeeshops. This is the best.

Always feel at home In the Rookies! They are dog friendly too as far as I know! The owners dog hangs out there and other locals call in with dogs too

Visited this coffee shop recently with my sister. She doesn’t smoke and wanted to try, I smoke regularly. the guy who sold us the Buds was very nice and helpful! I never experienced something so potent and I’m really sorry I had to leave my half emptied (very good!!) smoothie behind to explore the city. Will be coming again and hopefully staying longer, slept like a baby in the hotel and felt good and energetic the day after. Thank you for this nice first experience for me and my sister!

Coffee shop is great! Very cozy, clean, not so dark like others, stuff is super gentle, they gave me grinder, let me sit in the shop to roll, and I bought the juice because of that. That’s friendly nice, because others shops they don’t let you sit if you didn’t buy anything there

Excellent friendly staff. Great weed and regular price for drinks. Not a problem to have a look and smell before buying and good advice on new strains I wasn't clued up on. Comfortable seats, including outside where the fab staff take your drinks orders. Remember... good manners get good service... #keepthecoffeeshopsforeveryone

I wanted to write this comment to thank one of the staff members. Indeed I had the bad experience of losing consciousness after smoking, not being a regular user. The staff member reacted instantly in the best way by making me regain consciousness and by bringing me a sugar and caffeine bar to make me feel better. I recommend this coffee shop which knows perfectly how to intervene in these delicate moments.

This coffeeshop is amazing. I have been to Amsterdam several times and it was my first time (several times in fact) in Rookies. I find the smattering of bad reviews on here incredibly hard to believe. We came every day, both in the early afternoon and the evening and the staff were very polite, friendly and attentive. Good selection of weed and the cappuccinos were delicious. The place has a very chill vibe with comfy seats, nice atmosphere and great music at just the right volume. This will be my "go to" place for future visits and I will recommend it to all my friends as well. Thanks for the good times.

Your service are the best. Very calm friendly and polite. Hot mint tea so fresh so goooood, We love you.

If you're going to Amsterdam, and coffee shops are on your bucket list, you HAVE to go to this one. It's got a great energy and really wonderful atmosphere. I went to end my night pretty much every day I was there. That's how good it was! Genuinely felt like a neighborhood joint (lol), if I lived there I'd probably go every day. The fresh OJ is bangin' and so is the bud.

Amazing coffeeshop: ample space (which is a rare thing in Amsterdam), warm and inviting seats, and fantastic service. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and they do table service for the drinks! They use hemp instead of tobacco on their products

We enjoyed our first coffee shop, Rookies, more than the following two. Staff were helpful and supportive in that we were brand new to the country. Best part is a complete ban on tobacco smoking indoors. They offer you free hemp leaf alternative to roll with on the tables.

Great service and friendly staff! Really chill place to relax for lunch.

Landed last night at 9:30, was in my hotel by 11 and in this coffee shop rolling one by 11:30… this was my first ever coffeeshop experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The smoke was good, price was decent. I’m definitely going to return!!!

Great place with nice atmosphere and very polite and friendly employees. They really helped me once I was not feeling so good. Provided me with free coke and water. Great service. Highly recommended to visit

Some reviews say touristy, it's Amsterdam! I chatted to someone from Brasil, 2 girls from Italy and the whole place is amazing!! Top weed, really nice hash, not overpriced drinks and no hassles. The staff are mega friendly too! Highly recomemded (I'm there now)

Place is such a buzz down memory lane. First shop I was in back in the day, and still going strong. I miss the pool table.

Another coffeshop we a had a great time smoking! If you are a dog person is even better, there is a sweet german shepard chilling with you as well

Really friendly staff and had a simple 2 star weed and just perfect for a nice Amsterdam afternoon buzz.

Chill af and stylish yet comfortable lounge. Also top cannabis products. Definitely on my list of must-visits for a return trip

Very good Coffeeshop, good place, the waiters/waitresses were here to answer any question. I loved the atmosphere and the products. I recommand it

This is one of my favourite coffee shops in amsterdam

The first Coffeeshop I visited in my first to trip in Amsterdam and my favourite ever since. There you can find an informal place where you can enjoy fine weed, soft drinks and some food. Don't miss it!

Amazing friendly coffeeshop. Very comfortable and good atmosphere. They have a good range of selection and staff were very helpful

Excellent w33d, excellent drinks, excellent atmosphere . Laid back atmosphere, music is great staff is friendly and attentive. Service is good. I do not have enough good things to say about this place. Could spend hours

Stayed in Amsterdam 4 days and went to The Rookies every day, best coffee shop in the city! Not too far from the city centre, great atmosphere and incredible staff, great variety of things to smoke and drink, if I'm ever in Amsterdam again, I will definitely be there again!

Great shop close to Rembrandt square, lovely staff and clean space. Speedy table service too. Would come back again

A very chill atmosphere to enjoy a joint and a cup of espresso, brewed perfectly not bitter at all. Leo was very friendly and helpful. Needless to say I will be heading back very soon.

Ok selection. The employee I dealt with wasn't friendly and was of very little help. He seemed like he didn't want to be there. There are much better coffeeshops in Amsterdam.

Both Leo and Micky were awesome, fantastic coffee and service. I'd absolutely go back again.

Great atmosphere. Nice list if available drinks hot and cold. Great choice of flowers and hash as well as flower and hash pre-rolls.

Well worth a visit, really cool guy behind the bar and great coffee and the weed is good too. Highly recommend!

You can spend nearly €200 on weed here but don’t expect to sit down and enjoy it at rookies unless you’re also going to buy 2 beverages. Not thirsty? Then according to the manager, you’re not welcome here and get out. You’re better off spending your money where your business is appreciated.

This place is ... Wonderful. The staff is super friendly and I felt incredible. the paintings and the walls ...so Wonderful

Love Rookies. The best in Amsterdam. Great staff.. friendly. Fun place to hang out..

A really nice place with really nice sellers, it's a little bit expensive but the atmosphere is great!

The best coffee Shop with the best weed and staff in Ámsterdam, lovely lounge to have good time, drinking coffee and smoking your favourite strain

Cozy. Good weed too. Nice staff and pretty good coffee.

The first to walk in and the last to walk out :) Great place. Good vibes. Very clean and fresh. Nice music playlist, rich selection of warm drinks (ginger tea, hot chocolate, chai latter etc… ) Highly recommended

Nice place to sit down and smoke a bit. The only down side is the lack of vegan options when it comes to drinks (but they have a nice ginger and mint tea, I would definitely order this again). The staff is attentive and friendly, mostly. Had a nice time there.

Amazing place to relax and smoke in good company, really liked the lights and waiters are polite

Nice nh clean shop, great service and good weed (mainly tested their indicas) :)

Nice place ,good service, very good music. Recommended!

Very nice place to drink a coffee while smoking. They are cool with strangers. The only thing that I foun bad was the choice of prerolled joints. If your tired to roll buy your joints somewhere else. Toilets were very clean !

Nothing to add here - just cool place with awesome people

One of the best coffee shops we went to. Try the blueberry muffin it’s great

This place is truly amazing! I bought a space cake and a joint both were good quality and taste. The prices are perfect.

Great place .. Peacful atmosphere

My close friend Michal (Slovakia) always really wanted this original Rookie's Coffee Shop CAP from Amsterdam. Do you think he will like it?

Nice selection to smoke, enjoyable atmosphere, I found the music a little loud. Good coffee!

One of my fave places to chill. Great drink selection and reasonable priced

Nice Staff, hot stuff, good and relaxed Music. Clean and good separated Tables. Free Herbal Tabacco!

Nice and airy feel, chilled out, good music

Nice place, really clean and laid out well for social distancing. Nice weed too. The lady working at the drinks part was really friendly, sadly don’t know her name. She asked us how to spell something at one point

Nice little place a stones throw from museum district... Nice selection of green and hash... Would definitely visit again on my next trip... Quite alot of seating aswell which is a bonus.... Because its not in the main section of cafes its not as busy as the others

Great selection of products and plenty of cozey seating. Very welcoming vibe where you can get lost for hours. If you’re looking for somewhere warm and inviting this is the place for you! Friendly waiters will serve you at the table for drinks. For weed head up to the front counter where they have everything from Bud to Skins. Great hot choc Fairly priced too!

Best coffeshop in Amsterdam without a shadow of a doubt. Would love to see the menu change next time. but regardless you can't fault this place. After the renovation its amazing

My favourite coffeeshop out of the 8 or 9 I've been to. The weed is great, staff are sound and the atmosphere is good. I'd 100% recommend this place. Plenty of nice restaurants near too for when you get the munchies.

Comfy seating. Decent weed menu.cold and hot drinks. Pineapple express was

Excellent products and service, with detailed descriptions of their wide range - helpful for the neophyte - also great hot chocolate and cream. Prices were quite reasonable, especially considering the quality offered. I really enjoyed my visit, and returned several times, as I found it was better than other coffeeshops in the area. Table service for drinks was fast and friendly. It's often quite packed at peak times but you can usually get a seat, and some people don't stay long, so not too hard to get a table. Recommend!

This is the best place in Amsterdam!!! They have the best iced coffee, they recommend you the best for you and not the most expensive ones! And even the most “expensive” it’s a really good price comparing to the rest of coffe shops! And of course they have a really good quality of weed! you can have a great time at this place! I mean it! I never let reviews but this place made me! :)

Definitely love this place

A great coffeeshop for any time of the day. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the products rarely disappoint. They've refurbished over the last year or so, and the new decor looks great. They've also expanded their menu. A trip to Amsterdam is never quite complete without dropping into The Rookies for some Amnesia Haze.

Hand down the best coffee shop in Amsterdam. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The music was also perfect. The free chocolate was huge. I’d grab a handful and the lady behind the counter would say ‘go ahead and take the whole bowl!’ The Rookies is far by far better than the bulldog coffee shops. If you’re in Amsterdam, make sure to check this place out.

Very surprised by the good reviews. Asked for a recommendation and the staff had 0 patience even though there was no one else waiting to be served. Another guy wondering around constantly pestering you to buy drinks. Also saw they were rude to others. The one nice guy even said “oh he’d usually would have lost all his patience by now”

Really nice place, cool decor and the staff are so lovely. Prices for weed is slightly higher than some but there's a good range. On a quieter steer, fake tobacco stuff provided. Highly recommended

I'm a long time customer for 3 years so I have seen the place going through changes. We go there usually once a week to hang out. Weed: pricy but they have good quality. Everyone knows the Champagne Haze. Really recommended. The place has gone through extensive renovation. It's looks awesome! Lots of space inside and better ventilation. Great for groups! Food: none (except for space cakes) Drinks: wide variety of choices, prices are on the high side. Staff: super friendly, they appreciate their returning customers. I will be back for sure!

Literally my favourite cafe in Amsterdam! Very relaxed environment. The staff are so friendly and happy to go above and beyond to make you comfortable. The prices are fair and the weed is good. The hot chocolate is even better! This was our first port of call every morning. Thanks so much to the team at Rookies for an amazing time, each and every time.

Still my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Had had quite a slick refit since I last went and for the better. Very nice and clean. Great service and staff.

It's much nicer now they have had a refurb. The service is great and the staff are fabulous. A nice and comfy coffee shop to chill out in. Our favourite.

Was our main smoking place, prices were good, different strains to try and very lovely environment. I wouldn't ask them too mainly questions because we had a couple of staff members laugh at us.

Best coffee shop in town. The Asiatic gentlemen in the counter is the best (I'm sorry I forgot your name) thank you very much for your recommendations. Only cash.

One of my favourite shops in the area! Nice mid menu and the place looks like a pub but no alcohol, the staff are nice. Cool hang out and relaxing

First and last place me and the bf visited in Amsterdam, Aug 2018. They'd just had a redesign and the place looked fantastic. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and inviting, unlike some other places you may find. Overall, great green and great tea (they do loads of hot and cold drinks). Will visit again when we come back!

The waitress and the man serving cannabis at the front where very friendly on the 13.04.16 @ 1pm. Nice atmosphere nothing like bulldogs relaxed diffinately will return again next I visit Amsterdam.

Really nice laid back coffee shop. I really loved the soul music there. It's not really suited for large (>5) groups.

Really really cool staff, perfect environment to chill. The rooms are quite big and offer lots of seats so you can eazy chill there with a group without worrying about space issues. The music is allways good always

Wonderful staff. Great selection of strains. Nice clean rooms at the hotel also. Highly recommend.

Quality service, good atmosphere and good prices. Give you the option to round your weights down or pay the extra. Clean, good music and nice staff.
