Paradox

Old school strains and decent cofffee ,the cake is definitely worth trying sent my missus a non smoker sideways

Great place in a nice location. Super friendly staff with a great menu. Hash was lovely!

Came yesterday morning to try the volcano, very large choice of pre-roll, very good quality, cheap prices, the street is very quiet, more a local place than a touristic coffee one. The guy at the counter provided us very good advices about the volcano. Thank you

Space cakes are terrible. Says take half if you’re experienced and wait. We had 2 each and literally didn’t feel a thing £36 for 4 will never go again

Great little find this coffee shop, maybe one which is nice for us slightly older folk, as the atmosphere is more artsy and less neon infused than some coffee shops! I bought a couple of slices of the cake which were really good, nice high compared to some edibles and the selection of weed for sale, was small but good!

A nice place with friendly people. Loved the "pure bio" weed and the famous cake is delicious! A must go for everyone who wants a less chaotic than other coffeeshops and a nice relaxing place.

Amazing place, the two dudes there are very kind and helpful, show how to use the volcano hybrid in there, which is a vaporiser. Only downside that the lady working there is not friendly and unhelpful. Perfect place to go when that woman is not there

Good service with excellent recommendations. Only 1 type of edible for €8, but for a novice like me lasted 4 portions and worked well. I’ll definitely be back :)

One of the finest! Good nostalgic menu with lot of options. The space cake was a pleasant surprise! Very friendly staff and chill music to go along. Will return soon. Recommend

The vibe was good and there was an adorable little dog in the shop trying to get everyone to play fetch, but the bud-tender seemed to not know the prices even though they were on giant screen behind her. She overcharged me for the 2gs of Thai 5 I bought, ended up reimbursing the difference in cash, but then also switched out my bag with another bag that seemed like it couldn’t possibly weigh two grams. This was fine, because the Thai 5 was the worst weed I’ve seen or smoked since i was a school boy. I’m sure their more experience strains are fine, but the Thai 5 is profoundly low quality. I didn’t think there would be any purpose for bud this poor quality in a legal market, so I wasn’t too worried about it. I am also used to the type of shop where you are not really allowed to check out the bud before you buy it like in recreational shops in North America. Next time I will ask to see and give it a whiff first. Overall could have been worse and I wouldn’t be opposed to buying here again. 2 stars + 1 for the adorable pup.

My girlfriend and I bought two edible cakes there a week ago. You know, the "warning, high THC-content, 1g per serving" and "if you're experienced, eat half of a piece" We ended up eating the whole two pieces over the span of 5 hours yesterday, my GF having a 2hrs high and myself only ending with some slight light-headed feeling. I'm quite disappointed in the result. Completely different from what we did experience from Boerejongens for example, as the latter was effective and highly enjoyable.

A great little coffeeshop in one of the nicest areas of Amsterdam... Great space cake, i eat half and i was in the space for few hours... needs 2 hours to kick in ..so be relaxed :) Really you will be in space

Great prices, great service, lovely atmosphere, great weed, and the Volcano being available for use was the cherry on top. Best coffeeshop during my whole trip, will go back

Been there with a friend of mine, bought two of their only edibles (space cakes). Since i havent compared prices on different coffeeshops and let myself lead through other recensions we find that 8EUR for a cake was quite okay. Regarding the effects they recommend starting with half a slice or a quarter for unexperienced. As an experienced consumer i can tell that half a slice definetly worked out great. My friend who was rather unexperienced ate in total an entire cake and felt only weak respectively no real effects. Personally i recommend to try weed before buying an edible - otherwise you might consider these cakes a „scam“. Service was smooth and fast. Would come back there.

Nice relaxing coffeshop that's tucked away. Some of the best/strongest edibles in the city, and they have some nice flower & hash as well. Really chill vibes and a good place to go if you wanna take it easy!

Nice place to have a Space cake and chat with people. Happy 420

Chill place, friendly staff and the best cake i've ever had, and that's without even talking about the seeds that are in it. 1 seat = 1 slice (that's the strat) Love it.

One of the best coffee shops in Amsterdam, it has a nice wipe and employees are very friendly. I really recommend the space cakes and the outdoor grown Weed.

Great place for space cakes! I ordered one to go. Paradox Coffeeshop didn't seem too busy compared to other Coffeeshops. I didn't have to wait in line but all the tables were occupied. I definitely recommend this coffeeshop for space cakes!

Tiny, very local, in a peacefull place away from crowded center. The owner I guess gave me very exhaustive recommendations and take some times to explain me the difference between the different sort of weed. It's very very tiny but enjoyable.

Their space cakes are some of the best in the city, looks like the place has been refurbished in the last few years.

Their spacecakes are a hit or miss. I’ve eaten them before where it was strong and really great, but this last time I felt nothing after eating the whole cake… rather disappointing. Based on the reviews it seems others are also getting ones without the effects. If I get another one that doesn’t work then I’m finding another place for my spacecakes… which is sad because I really like the effects of these when it works!

The best coffeeshop and weed in town. Always kind staff, good prices, very good strains. Nothing has changed since 2004. Highly recommended!

The space cakes were good. We shared one cake for 2 people. Ate one half and then another half in 2 hours. The impact was just good. Not too strong, not too light.

Place is well hidden, it took me some time to find it :) . It looked pretty cosy, only a few tables, and chairs are in it, and a bench just outside the shop. The staff were chilled, kind people. I came for the famous cake, a lot of people said it is the best in the city. Also I ordered a tea, they have some variety for that too, not just for the weed. I am not a experienced smoker or weed consumer, but I took some before. So I tried the 1/3 of the cake, just to be sure I don't eat too much. But unfortunately I did not feel any effects, even after 2-4 hors later. A few days later I ate again 1/3 of the remaining cake, but again nothing. The 1/3 leftover is given to my brother who is even less into marijuana consumption, but even he did not feel anything. The cake was delicious, but unfortunately the awaited high was missing. Inspecting the cake closer it looked like it had weed in it. I am not saying I am disappointed, but next time when I visit The Netherlands I have to eat almost the whole cake, to know if they have any effect.

The Staff is really friendly and the Price is good. The Location is also a bonus and perfect to smoke and chill. The latte tasted also good overall good.

A must visit coffee shop. No nonsense and friendly staff. Not like some cafes which seem gimmicky. Superb products with variety and would recommend adding to any itinerary. I'd definitely return. Paradox you have set a bench mark. Keep it up.

I had read a lot of reviews before going. I didn't eat a lot of the spacecake as per the instructions and on the servers recommendation, didn't really feel the effects. cake was still really good and staff were lovely

This is our go-to for space cakes. They are 1 gr and 7€ per wrapped slice. Very friendly staff.

Amazing space cake and options for weed. Definitely recommend and will go again.

Best Space Cake in Amsterdam. Follow the instruction for my wife did not and paid the price :)

The place is small (due to some renovations I think) but very cosy, the atmosphere is nice and the two ladies super kind, recommended!

I came here by recommendation of a friend and I’m happy he recommended it. The cake is delicious and has 1g of grass. The prices apparently went up (I paid €7.5 per slice and it was €7 not long ago), but it’s still worth it.

Cute little shop good smoke. I'm a heavy smoker from Canada and the strongest one was great for me, really hit the spot after a long trip. And not a busy place if you're looking for somewhere chill. And they're very friendly!

Skip everywhere else in Dam and just come here. Their space cakes are second to none. Really strong and effective. Staff are helpful and friendly, highly recommend!

biggest upside: the best prices in the surroundings, very nice hash and outdoor-grown for a small price, can definitely recommend - yet small place, don't chill inside and there is only small variety of strains, most of them well-known -

Great locals coffee shop l, smaller weights for those wanting to try a variety.

Best space cakes of the city, and probably the world. I'm speachless. But PLEASE follow the instructions. Half a cake is more than enough. TRUST ME.

the best space cakes in amsterdam! they taste delicious and are VERY strong (1gr per slice) for only 7€. You might want to consider eating only half if you're not a regular user though. The staff is also really friendly and will help you if you're not sure about how much you should take.

Best spacecake in town. Friendly staff, quality products.

Part of it was under renovation yet still friendly stuff, good advice and choice of weed. Spacecakes are the business too

Little Shop near the Anne Frank house. Good prices all over nice quality. Also most potent cs space cakes. Always worth to visit

The staff is really kind and the cake is amazing, both in taste and potency

The best space cake in Amsterdam; very chill & calm with an open and airy atmosphere. Unlike many of the dark and dank pot-cafés.

Nice & cozy place with relaxed atmosphere and really good stuff!

Cute place with good prices and strong stuff. Highly recommend

Awesome little coffeeshop :) very relaxing atmosphere and awesome products

More friendly than your average coffee shop and great mix of regulars and visitors. Known for the cake which is really popular

Excellent small shop with a nice choice. Staff are the best. We visited Cheeky Monday on our last night and had to wait 10 hours before our flight back the next day, safe to say we stayed in here for a good few hours that day.

My favourite coffee shop in Amsterdam. Always great service, great tunes and great smoke. What else is needed? Can’t wait to get back.

Fair price and really good quality. I can really recommend their space cakes.

the space cake is very recommendable

Very nice coffeeshop, a cool thing that they have prerolls without a tobacco. Space cakes is a fraud though - ate 2 at once, no effect whatsoever, €8 each.

One of my favorite coffeeshops in Amsterdam. Good prices, good products, great staff!

Best brownies and joints i've seen in a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Good stuff.

Excellent place un peaceful

If you want a quiet smoke away from all the English/German dudes in white T-shirts and silly bags; come here. Friendly, good prices and great weed.

Lovely little coffeeshop. Nice staff, Well placed, well priced. The misses swears by their spacecakes. Wiljan knows his stuff!! Edit. He also makes a beautiful latte.

Amazing space cake. Not expensive and super sensations Careful, don't do like us and have an entire piece at once, too strong !

The space cakes had the effect I expected!

Best tortino ever in this planet. Thank you

This is my 1st stop when arriving from the state's... Quant and relaxing. Not all the glitz and glam which is perfect for a mellow chill spot. And the music is fantastic along with the menu choices

This is THE place for your supply. Very friendly. When I used to smoke I was very satisfied with their quality/price. Nowadays I regularly get my supply of edible there and nowhere else.

We had a great time here! Met a couple at our table enjoyed some coffee and a smoke. They have a great selection on the menu as well; as strong or mild as you would like.

Am visiting from California and I’ve been to five other coffee shops in the center of Amsterdam and this place is the absolute best! The Paradox is not pretentious like the other shops this one is chill and pleasant. It goes along way!

Absolutely brilliant service and great atmosphere! Their pound cake is fantastic and very strong. Paradox made my time in Amsterdam so much fun :)

Can't go wrong with the edibles, for sure. Renowned throughout Amsterdam, they're very potent but it's easy to dose correctly. Otherwise, great cheerful atmosphere: someone was playing chess when I just went in! Come everytime I'm here.

Situated in a mainly residential area of the Jordaan, and off the beaten track, so to speak, Paradox Coffeeshop is mostly frequented by locals, although some tourists do make the effort to seek it out mostly due to its reputation as having some of the best edibles in town. The cannabis menu is somewhat limited, but what is on offer is of great consistent quality and more reasonably priced than mainstream establishments.. They also have some of the best pre-rolled joints, with and without tobacco, to be found in Amsterdam. There's a good choice of coffee, teas, milkshakes and great snacks. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cosy with comfortable seating and a nice selection of music making it an ideal place to chill out. Board games are available as well as Volcano vaporisers for the more seasoned smokers. It is a favourite haunt of local artists and regular exhibitions are held here featuring the works of prominent upcoming talent such as Mac Amsterdam whose creativity has taken the city by storm. Friendly staff make you feel at home.

i loved the atmosphere there. very home like place where you can find many locals. staff was okay, everyone seemed very relaxed. it is also situated in a picturesque street. sadly it was crowned so i could not sit and chill here. i bought thai sativa joint with tobacco there but it was really weak, all i could taste and feel was tobacco, so i would recommend you to try something different.

Visited here for the second time. Located in a nice area on a quiet side street near the Westerkerk and Anne Frank house. The staff have been pleasant on both occasions. Struck up a nice conversation with a young couple from Spain and also a young man from Scotland. The chem dawg strain isn't my cup of tea but that's no reflection on the shop. I have tried their space cake twice and like it.

One of the more laid back coffee shops in Amsterdam, probably the best in Jordaan. Great vibe all around

Shame it hadn't lived up to my expectations from friends who had recommended it. Nice people. Seemed like the only thing in the hash was tobacco which they obviously only sell to tourists. wasn't even any weed in the 'joint' so It had no effect. I'm not a frequent smoker but have done so in the past.

Yup, while in Amsterdam you have to take in the local delicacies and I heard this was a pretty decent place so gave it a go. Potent cakes, wrapped and labelled with directions on how to eat, took just over an hour to kick in for me and lasted quite a a while so pleased with my purchase

As people before me said, it might be the best place to get some space cakes, which are tasty and potent. It took me solid 2 hours for them to kick in, the effect was quite noticable, but not too strong, and it lasted quite a few hours. Listen to the guy behind the counter, he can give you great advise if you ask him. The shop itself is more quiet than a lot others, which I loved, so anyone who's into that will find this place great.

Nice friendly place. Family owned. Open. Really nice

Got some space cakes. First day took half and felt something after 2 hrs. Was like a light high. Next day I ate 3/4 of it and got really good. Walked around for 2 hrs and spent the next 2 hrs in my hotel room. Don't get the soft pure joint, you won't feel much of it.

My go to coffeeshop for when I am in the dam. Great prices and just far enough out of town that it isn't overly touristy. Space cake is the best I've had, 1g per cake and the joints are not badly priced. Always a great atmosphere and the staff are very helpful if you have any questions. Number 1 coffee shop to go to.

Very nice staff and atmosphere. Only giving it 4 stars because the space cake didn't get us high at all! They recommended 1 cake for 2 people but it should've been 1 per person. Other than that, it's an amazing place!

If you're looking to go to space eating some edibles, look no further, for you have found the place. This coffee-shop has the most potent edibles you can find in Amsterdam. Cozy place, decent selection of merchandise and a staff that's helpful.

A very chill place to be! Not expensive 2,6g for 15€ of Bio weed, awesome!), very friendy managers, and their fresh mint tea (2€) taste wonderful. Oh and the free wifi works great too. I totally recommend it!

Chilled out local cafe, good food and drinks.

A really cosy shop, with a really relaxed atmosphere, not like some of the shops more geared towards hard stoners. Having said that, with the cakes at 1g (rather than 0.4g which is more common elsewhere) and a Volcano Vaporizer in the corner, this place does take its smoking seriously. Lots of board games to put a different slant on the experience too. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, especially in the mornings.

Cool cafe in the area. Some room to chill and order something to drink. Fair prices and loads of table board games to play. Good product as well.

Favorite coffeeshop. You can't match the serene atmosphere of this place.
