Culture Boat | Coffeeshop & Seed Shop

Nu open

Culture boat is a unique coffeeshop to enjoy your evening in Utrecht with some fine cannabis. They have ready made products and edibles as well. I bought a joint with herbs mixed. It was pretty good. The atmosphere in and out of the boat makes the experience even better.

I really enjoyed my visit — the place has a great vibe and friendly staff. Just a small note: if you’re in the smoking area, please be mindful about playing videos or music loudly on your smartphone. The sound carries easily and can drown out the shop’s music and other guests’ conversations. It can be a bit distracting for those who are just trying to relax and minding their own business

One of my favourite coffeshops ever! Hot chocolate is delicious. Service is almost instant great system and a credit to the city. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is it smelled very badly like pee throughout

Good place to sit and relax with a joint!

We came here almost every day for a week during our visit to utrecht. Fantastic vibe, great prices, amazing staff. 10☆ we will be back!

I have been to a lot of coffeeshops in Amsterdam but this one was the first one in Utrecht but I feel this would be best place. Relaxing space and a good ambience for all type of people. Would definitely be back often

Amazing location on a boat. The staff is very polite and helpful. There is a nice area that you can smoke, while you can have a coffee. Their products are top quality. Defenitely must visit!

This is by far the best smoking experience in Utrecht and possibly even among the best in the Netherlands. Picture this, 60 feet boat, bar in the middle to buy your supplies from, rooms with comfortable seating on both sides (plants on the sills), the water gently moving the boat to add to the experience. I have spent many a evenings (and days!) in this heaven and met many amazing people. The best experience would be to come in the afternoon and watch the sun go down in the boat with friends. You will find yourself easily spending hours in this place. Apparently there is only one other coffeeshop in the Netherlands which is a boat, hence this is truly also a unique smoking experience. Sometimes another boat passes by, unsettling the boat in it's wake. Opposite the boat is a fortified prison which is longer being used for the original purpose. All cannabis sold at this place is organic and the family who owns this business is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this if you ever visit Utrecht or even live there. 10/10 for the experience.

Beautiful and cozy interior. Great selection and a super friendly staff. The toilet was a bit bah but that will not stop me from visiting again. Really cozy!

Great service, they don't take Mastercard or Visa I believe, so get cash out before. We went for the M2 and a couple of coffees, very nice boat inside, nice and warm. Enjoyable time here, pleasant staff too, cheers!

Best in all of Holland!! Amazing sandwich and salad spot with unbeatable, personable service!! 100% recommend this place for a relaxing vibe with phenomenal food and tea!

The best coffeeshop in Utrecht and one of the best in the Netherlands! Unique atmosphere along the canal. Two wonderful rooms and an amazing staff will make you feel at home. The products are high quality and the price is reasonable. Don't miss this place!

Super chill and friendly place. Prices are very good and the atmosphere is just great with some chillout music in the background. While contemplating the amazing views by the canal you can enjoy some crazy brownies with a coffee or a soft drink. It is probably the best coffeeshop in the Netherlands.

cozy, friendly, and inviting!! Drinks are good prices, really good hot chocomel. Good vibes all round

Amazing staff ! An Experience to sit and smoke in the boat. Cherry mix is amazing. Coffee is good as well. Good collection of marijuana ! I strongly recommend !

Very cool place for the first time, we went there yesterday and it was ok but today, we went there and a bald guy at the door got super mad at us because we did not buy more weed, just drinks. If we wanted in again, we had to buy more, despite still having some from yesterday. Really ruined it for us as we have a plane tomorrow and do not intend to buy more weed. We even showed him some goodies bought yesterday and he says: just that? Do we really need to smoke non stop to have a fun time here? Never coming here again! Just to note, our group bought more than 300 euros of goodies there the day before!

Good people, they got nice options on the menu when it come to plants

Very cool vibe! Easy parking for the bikes (even rental bikes can park 50m away from the boat). For the first time in a coffeshop, staff was very friendly, helped me pick a good strain of weed for me. I forgot my grinder, i though i was gonna need to buy one, but they kindly borrowed me one. Spent 4 hours there, nice music, very cool place to hang with friends! Would say one of the best coffeshops in town!

Cute coffee shop that's literally on a boat on the main Utrecht canal. You can smoke within the boat, but only neat (without tobacco) or buy a joint with herbs from the counter. One thing though, is that I don't think they accept visa/master card, so have cash just in case.

Best Coffee shop i ever went to! Very kind staff great prices and quality and super chilled atmosphere. Even in bigger groups no problem to find a table to sit.

I love the culture. And I love the boat. The experience I enjoyed the most. Was with a friend, who enjoyed the weed. And the view was pretty sweet. Sit inside, or take to go. Anything you want, in the culture boat.

Echoing what others say, I don’t see how you can have a bad time on this boat. The vibes are immaculate, the coffee is lovely, you are left to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Would go back any time, really really lovely area and atmosphere.

An amazing place. Nice staff. Great atmosphere. Good pure joints. Nice that they don't allow tobacco inside in my opinion.

Lovely atmosphere! They've got a wide variety and some edibles aswell. The staff was very friendly and I loved just being there, reading, writing and listening to music. Definitely a chill place!

Really unique place to just relax. Staff are super friendly and the quality is great.

A very charming and cosy place that i came across..very sweet folks at the register......good selection of products and can relax in peace. Would recommend a visit if you're in Utrecht

✨ Feeling sentimental and grateful today as I reminisce about the best place I have ever been.

Pitched to us from a great head shop as the only place in town that still lets you smoke inside, the boat is probably one of the best places to hang out if you want to smoke. The boat atmosphere is amazing, and if you know anything about what you're smoking, the stuff they have is quality! Great music, too!

Overwhelming Coffeeshop. Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff and the weed is awesome. Recommend to visit, if you‘re in Utrecht.

lovely boat as if you are back in 18 century - Truly inspired place - Very knowledgeable staff and wonderful pre rolled joints in the brown paper -way to go Thanks a million - I will definitely be back

The Service here was really bad, especially the girl at the counter. We didn’t feel welcome and the were so unfriendly that we regret spending our money here. It may seem nice from the outside but sadly not from the inside. What a disappointment!

I highly recommend you guys this strawberry flavor Lollipop. Though the taste is a little bitter and dry but I LOVED IT! I’m waiting for the effects yet =)))

The place is amazing but there’s something that needs to be done abt the entrance door. People SLAM the door as they leave. Every 3 seconds. It’s a little bit annoying cause it kills the vibe, otherwise this place is amazing!

Loved it. I come here everytime I visit my boyfriend in Utrecht. The vibe and the people are amazing. The workers are really friendly. Would recommend 100%

This coffeeshop is amazing! The staff is super helpful and gave me great advice. The prices are good and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and smoking. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is really beautiful however, I asked for joints and was sold joints with tobacco without any notice. I wanted plain weed and now I'm stuck with 6 joints I won't/can't smoke. Waste of money and huge disappointment. Please disclose if there is tabaco mixed in. I tried opening up one of the joints to pick out the weed but it was 90% tabaco and 10% weed :(

Nice coffee shop. The concept is pretty interesting. A lot of choices and affordable prices. We paid 7€ for a brownie. Still, do not underestimate the power of edibles. If u are a beginner, half is more than enough. Do not exceed half of dosage: for us the effects came after 2h (they advise on the box : somewhere between 30 min to 3 h is the time stamp you would need to expect) or so and they were very intense - kinda bad I would say. Glad I didn’t eat more, even tho the brownie was delicious.

Nice prices, good quality, the real deal is the location, staff was super friendly, unluckly they don't have that much choice of beverages

Preweighed bags that must sit in the draw till their sold. All weeds smell like mouse food and have very old dusty looks. 5 years still the same. Star rating is due to environment and good music. Defiantly not the mouse food weed.

It's a chill spot, sometimes it's a bit crowded but we always managed to get seated. The oui'd is good there for a fair price. I recommend you to drink a tea and play a round or Go or Chess with your friend!

Took a wander down that way and was especially surprised with how great a place this was. Incredibly helpful guy behind the counter and the most relaxed coffee shop (boat) I've ever experienced. Can't recommend enough.

Amazing edibles, I tried the brownie and it was tasty, plus the effects were amazing and lasted 4-5 hours. I think I'm still high. Very nice, thank you!)

We only tried the edibles, more precisely the brownie and the muffin, and both of them tasted amazing! We thought that even if they have no effect, at least we ate some very delicious muffin. In the end, not only were the edibles delicious but they were also pretty strong. The place itself is beautiful as well, very cozy and the customer service was flawless. Definitely recommend it!

Amazing products, great vibes and amazing music. For sure best coffeeshop in the world, they even have fritz-Kola! Smoking with tobacco is not allowed though (which makes it better in my opinion). The crowd is very friendly, really don’t have anything negative to say

Chilling on a boat coffeeshop is awesome ! They don't have a large menu but that's not a problem. You'll find some classics like Amnesia, Power Plant or Orange Bud. The music was really nice.

Unbelievably kind people who nursed a very sick and extremely regretful tourist back to life over the course of a few hours. They are very supportive if this is your first time, but do them a favour and look up a few tips on safe (and enjoyable!) consumption before you decide it 'isn't working'. A pretty nice little boat in a lovely environment.

Visited this superb little coffee shop situated on a canal boat with my father (a non smoker, I smoke) and was treated like royalty! The gentlemen spoke great English and talked me through the menu and different cbd/thc levels, after buying just a couple of bags, priced fairly, 2 coffees on the house! An unheard of service in popular places such as Amsterdam! A real must stop even if not in the area, Utrecht has a lot to offer like this little Gem! I’ll definitely be back on my return through the Netherlands!

Awesome ambiance! Friendly tenders and great product! No wifi but I suppose people would never leave.

The coolest coffeeshop I found in Netherlands so far ! Friendly staff, nice vibe and of course amazing location in a massive boat ! The coffee is nice too

Very nice concept on a great location. Good products and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere

Nice location BUT I am pretty disappointed with the space brownies we bought cuz they were waste of money! We didn't feel anything at all. Yet, it's rather sad that the employee at the service considered it as very strong and mainly for experienced users. Sadly it's the opposite I guess. Also the rolling papers (their brand) that I bought were less than 10. How is that even possible when the classic once are around 30?

If you need a place to chill out with friends after study/work, here you go. The music can’t be too perfect every time I visit here. All the staffs are so friendly as well!

Great and one of the best place to buy cannabis in Utrecht. The guys there do a good deed to explain the different types.

Pretty good hashish. Buds no so good quality and pricy. But bud tenders are very rude. Especially the guy with glasses, very impolite and unprofessional. Now they expect you to take part in medical experiment if you want to smoke a joint on their premise. They want to know your medical record and if they don't like your medical status they will not let you to drink tea or coffee. Very disappointing. I hate all kind of discrimination.

Very good shop, nice staff and affordable prices. Love the location and the fact the shop is an actual boat!

It is a "must see" on your holiday tour trough utrecht

Extraordinary! Never met such nice service. Everything is clean and you can easily relax there for a while

Nice location and good quality weed. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There's one bald guy with glasses though who has treated me very rude on multiple occasions, bald with glasses. Very very rude and impatient. And looking at the comments here, I'm not the only one who got mistreated. So be aware, if he doesn't like your face, you are in for a treat!

Probably the best coffeshop I've visited while I was in Holland!!!

Love the chill vibe, the kind staff and the scenery.

Awesome coffee shop, with good quality products and knowledgeable staff that's always ready to help. Though only remark, some of the guys get too distracted talking to each other and keeping customers waiting, this I don't like. I'm also impressed by the really friendly and competent security guard outside, I appreciate the efforts made to ensure a good relationship with the neighbourhood as well as managing the less friendly people that coffeeshops unfortunately also attract

Great to chill

Awesome place

Was Luk

What an incredible coffee shop. Beautiful boat, friendly staff, nice selection of grass and juices.

Best coffee shop in Utrecht if you ask me. Really great vibe all around and the employees are always happy to help. They have a changing menu of different kinds of strains so you can always try something new

The weed is always high quality, some might say it's a bit pricy but that's a bit subjective. The menu is always changing which is nice compared to other coffeeshops in Utrecht. The atmosphere is nice, although it is usually quite busy in the evenings, you might have to wait a bit to find a place to sit. The music is always a background vibe. They offer a variety of cold and hot drinks.

So far I think this is the best coffee shop in the Netherlands. Good prices, good weed, excelent enviroment, great customer service. I love it.

Always full so very unlikely you will find a seat. But some of the best weed in Utrecht. They take VISA too!

This is the only coffee shop I found in Utrecht that sells pre-rolled joints with NO tobacco--that's very important to me, having quit smoking some years ago. It also had by far the best chill-out area of any of the other places I saw in town, with some great music, too! (Reggae, Classic Rock, etc.) If it's an Amsterdam-like weed experience you're after in Utrecht, this is the place.

Very nice weed.. good prices too. It's ok for a short visit but way too smokey for stays longer than 30m

Best coffee shop in the Netherlands, hands down. Family run and dedicated to bringing the highest quality bud to you; this place offers information on all strains when scanning a QR code, through doing something you can find out about THC, CBD and other cannabinoid content, even what terpenes await you inside! An absolute must visit even if you're not staying in Utrecht. Oh, and it's on a freaking boat... What's not to love?

My favorite coffeeshop in my favorite city, what else? Do you want to chill with your friends? This is the most perfect place fir this. Nice environment, it's a boat! The prices are a bit expensive but the quality is excellent. The staff is always ready to help you, they know everything about their stuff but even about all kind of weeds. Go check check it yourself, it's a must for my advise!

Person behind the counter initially accused me of under paying, but then quickly realized their mistake once he counted again. Selection of plants was OK and their rolling skills were a little to thick with tobacco for my taste but other than that, very nice atmosphere. People on the boat seemed friendly and there was even a dog that was either stoned or just very chilled. The boat could use more air.

The best marijuana you will try in Utrecht.... Excellent service!!! You'll always find a friendly smile.

The cannabis sold here was of the same quality as anywhere in Utrecht, but slightly more expensive. Maybe I was paying more to smoke on a converted houseboat? I don't know. The surroundings are a great spot to spark up. You can't argue it. Anyone would be hardpressed to find a better spot to smoke. A huge plus to me personally was how dog friendly it was. The people working were completely friendly. The one negative was the drink selection and the prices. When you're in the Netherlands and going to coffeeshops or to cafes in general, you grow to expect fresh mint tea. Culture Boat didn't offer this at all. What they offered was a very average prepackaged teabag. Also when I asked for a water, the only available one was their own brand of bottled water. Again, almost always in the Netherlands, free, clean, tasty water from the tap for free. I'd go back 100%, but the cost per gram was a bit more than normal, and their beverage game needs to come up a notch. Just cause your location is on a converted house boat, and unique doesn't mean the basics of cannabis culture in the Netherlands shouldn't be observed accordingly.

The concept of coffee shop inside a boat that's in the cannal simple unique idea and what a great idea. It would have been even better if the boat moved.

Unreal atmosphere and cool vibes. The best place to spend 2 hours while in Utrecht. Highly recommended!

A good coffeshop, a small menu but the Milkshake strain is definitely worth a try.

Very nice place on the water, they sell hasj weed and seeds to grow your own, highly recommended. I drive weekly 20km just to go here.

Best coffeshop in NL! great service, clean coffeeshop with a great view of the canal. Nice and bright

I rarely post anything online...and this is the first review I've ever written... But this place was so dope I have to write about it... I went in yesterday for 1.4g of the Milkshake for 15eur...not too expensive for Dutch prices imo... There's a sticker on the baggie that says how much thc n cbd percentage is in the bud...I thought that was cool (hope it's accurate) ... The budtender was super nice n helpful... He asked me a question no budtender has asked me before, which I thought was a really helpful question for me... "do u want weak or strong?"... The ambience of the place is super chill... And the view from the boat is also super mellow ...plus the bud was hella dank...plus they sell seed!... And there's a cool little park like 5min from this place... I've done a bit of cannabis tourism myself and this is my favorite place so far... Dank u wel

very nice place! professional staff and good area

The best coffeshop in town and one of the best in the whole NL. Its an actual boat, inside the room is very light and full of sunlight, with a view on a canal on one side and the street on another. The place set up in a way that make it easy to meet new people, as you'll probably be sitting at a table with other people. Prices are a bit higher than in other places though.

Went back in November 2018 this is definitely my favourite coffeeshop in Utrecht & in my top 5 in The netherlands. Had the pleasure of visiting here in October 2017 on a lovely sunny day, the service & latte was superb & I think I had the pineapple haze if I remember correctly, very nice indeed. Would definitely visit again 10/10

Good selection of weed the staff is very good and friendly and the atmosphere is great. Overall one of the best coffee shops in Utrecht.

Amazing coffee shop. Best quality stuff with all the details. Friendly and helpful staff.

Professional people, they know what they are doing and some times it's hard to find quality and trustable weed even if in Netherlands. You can scan your bag of weed and check the all components in your buds. The boat is very long with 2 different sitting areas. Definitely will visit again in the future

Very nice coffeeshop, not as dark and uncomfortable as many of them are. Not overly priced. Nice vibes!

Great friendly and brilliant prices. Brilliant products well worth the money. Can't wait to visit again.

Good weed, really friendly staff. Its a boat what else you need to be happy

Generally good prices and fine people in an air conditioned boat on a canal. Perhaps the most comfortable smoke lounge in town.

Great location, staff, coffee and merchandise. Very informed workers, can recommend based on request with a good outcome. Rotating menu based on season so every now and then something new is on the menu, the staff is keeping the atmosphere chill but are strict in case anything happens.

Easily the best coffee shop I know, so I always go out of my way to visit this one. Friendly staff, great atmosphere (even though I personally never take the time to sit down) and a large assortiment of weed + accessories. As some have already stated, the price is usually a little above average, but they have a great set of strains that changes from time to time and is always fantastic. I've been coming here for roughly three years now and I haven't felt dissapointed or ripped off even once. That's worth something.

Omg. Love at first sight. Beautiful place full of flowers and nice people and friendly staff. I stay at only weed smoking area and I loved it and come back again soon. Thank you for having me❤️

Great great place...cool staff...spacious seating isle area..nice coffee..and most importantly the weed was very nice..although a mate got some weed and it was not cured that well..still damp..cant remember what strains we got there..as it was a long day.but i do remember it been a bit damp...not the boat..ha

A bit smokey as expected. It's floating

A super super cute place!! Not small at all, great amount of sitting places. The staff is very nice. Not a big variety, but a good quality! Very Recommended :)

happy vibes from this boat and abit sureal that its across from the prison. power plant is must from here one of the best ive had on my trip around holland.

Best coffee in utrecht. The green tea is great as well altought a little expensive.
