The shopowner is a freaky and friendly (!) Italian guy. Sometimes he's a bit slow but always friendly. The hash they offer is really worth buying. Don’t buy much weed there, it's too expensive. But some of the sativa weed strains should be tested in my opinion (Mexican Haze, Domina). We smoked the following hash-types: black Manali, Kashmir Cream, Caramello. All worth buying, especially the black Manali. Be sure to bring some time with you if you visit, sometimes the guy has to weigh all the hash-types first if he gets a new delivery. This can take an hour. But we waited and drank our own beer and listened to music and finally we bought some Caramello and he apologized for it taking so long and thanked us for our visit. Be sure to visit this shop and chill on Thorbeckplein if you visit Amsterdam.

Had a crazy array of hash and Icealator hash. Oh my. My entire body was buzzing and I've been smoking for 10 years. Good prices based on the fact that the smoke was awesome. You can use the vaporizor in the corner and we found that this is one of the few coffeeshops that make a mean coffee and cappuccino. Probably due to the fact it's own right now by an Italian. A definite must go and chill.

Became our favourite haunt after our first visit! The menu was huge and they were always helpful especially on the first trip as we were still very new to the variety they explained the differences in the weed and recommended what was good to start with. There are three floors in this place and we always got a seat probably because the stairs look so scary nearly vertical and twisty. Lovely views from the top floor great place to people watch. We spent New Years Eve in Rembrantsplein and when it all got a bit hectic it was a perfect place to view the carnage!

We didn't stay long, just stop and go. The dealer isn't very friendly. They have a great hash menu. We bought Kashmir Cream for 11€ Seherazade for 8€ & Super Pollen. Good taste specially for Kashmir Cream. Nothing special about this place.

The place has some good seats outside if you go there in summer and the area is very calm. The guys at the counter where kinda weird, one was pretending he didn't speak Italian while he obviously was. Besides that the best hash list I've ever seen even though it seems that they really want your money. A must.

Loved the place! Had a great selection of smokes, we tried the Domina - wow the sweetest smellin smoke I have ever had. Big respect to the doc, great place.

This is a great shop and has one of the best menus in Amsterdam, or anywhere. They have usually 32 types of hashish, including Nepali, Manali and other Indian, Kashmir, Afghan, Moroccan, and Ice-o-Lator. For a connoisseur, one of the very best! Their weed selection is also very good if a bit pricey; small place but three stories and plenty of room on the upper floors to relax. Has a small computer with internet and a decent selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Watch out for the dog, he may not like you if he doesn't know you. Kudos to the Bushdocter!

Went there, because they play mostly Hiphop in there. The guys weren't very friendly, but the "King Hassan" hash for 11€/gram was the best hash I had on the trip... We went upstairs (really steep steps!) and after 5 minutes they changed the music and played some kind of trance =(... We went a few minutes after that!

I always start and end my day off in Bushdocter, if I'm staying nearby, as the staff who I have met are all friendly and very helpful. The dope is good stuff unlike some of the shops closer to the centre and the close atmosphere is something which I enjoy, or sit outside and have a fat one in the square if you're too cramped. Its location is perfect as it's just on the edge of all the hustle being in a very peaceful corner of Amsterdam. A downside is that you can only buy green in 2g bags, but it is what you ask for, so no complaints here. The hash can be bought by the gramme, and a gramme is all you'll need, as the bubble hash will give you a powerful dosage. Buying your dope here is a very good idea. 9/10 on all counts from myself.

Went just to look and the bartender noted that the White Widow was really strong. Was he ever right!

We found this whilst on the way to our hotel. The people in front brought a gram of Blueberry and when it came to our turn the dealer said only 2 gram deals were available so we were forced to buy 2 gram deals. So we bought 4 grams between us and went upstairs! Not really a place to get hammered in as it's quite small, we never ventured into the basement, the stairs are VERY steep and narrow we saw some guy fall down them whilst we were in the top section! I wouldn't really recommend this place to stay in but the weed was nice. There are plenty more coffee shops around.

We didn't stay long. We just went in to grab some of that ice hash everyone was talking about. The weed lady demonstrated how the ice hash bubbles when lit. Kind of cool, kind of like you're in science class but with hash instead. Anyway, I purchased the Ak-47 bubble hash while my friend picked up the Kali Mist bubble hash. Although steep @ 25 Euros a gram, it does pack a wallop. You may feel bad paying that much, but trust me, you get really high! A little bit lasts a while. I didn't have a chance to check out the shop but it seems like a cool place.

Fabulous grass and hash. A great outdoor cafe where you can smoke and enjoy trees, canals and some atmosphere away from the tourists.

Last time I was in Amsterdam I only found this cafe on my last day, which was a shame 'cos they sell some of the best weed in 'Dam. I eventually found my way back there this time and after a lengthy chat with the dealer decided on 2 grams of Blueberry and a gram of Ice-0-Lator hash which BUBBLED and BOILED when u heated with a lighter for 1 second. The weed gave a very nice stoned effect and the hash was probably the nicest hash I've had in a long while. Staff very friendly. 8/10

Small, but friendly place if a little uncomfortable, worth a visit if you're passing but I wouldn't make a point of going there.

The menu consists of 2 pages, one for grass and foreign hash and the other one of hash made in Holland with Ice-O-Lator (it's very strong), you can find there hash made from ak47 to Kali Mist and Sensi Star. Red Leb, El Ninio and Ak47 Hash were tested. Totally said, I think although the shop is very new it's one of stars of 'Dam's Coffeeshops. Rating: good till very good

A little hole in the wall located just off the Rembrantplein. Its deep red sign makes it easily recognizable. What this place lacks in character it makes up in product. While I did not buy any hash there, the weed was stupendous, easily in the top five. Expect to receive extensive knowledge from the bartender plus primo smoke. The bar is very small but there is a couple computers with pay Internet access as well as a video game or two plus an upstairs seating area as well as some outdoor tables for nice days.
Went back this time to check on their hash, which received high marks during recent cups. Unfortunately the dealer was a complete prick proclaiming that the cup was bullshit and he would recommend the "isolator" hash or the shit that costs at least twice that of normal hash. I said to him that I was looking for the "Daisy Cutter" or something (which supposedly placed 3rd in the cup not even six months before) and he had no idea what I was talking about.

Bushdoctor is right off the Rembrandtsplein at Thorbeckeplein 28. What a really cool shop, tons of rare hazes and hashes, and they make their own KaliMist and AK-47 water hashes there. The best hash I smoked there (even better than Dutch Moonshine 45). They have a second location on the opposite side of the Rembrandtsplein too, but I didn't go to it.
