The first coffee shop I ever went into. A bit on the small side but a great place all the same, friendly staff, great music. I would recommend Bens, weed was superb.

Had to go to this one for obvious reasons (one of us is called Ben). Nice little place served decent sized drinks of tea/coffee. Had a quick glance at the menu but didn't buy any, prices looked very reasonable and seemed to be plenty of choice. Seating is a bit uncomfortable, but not bad for a short stay. Would definitely go back here next time we go to the dam.

This was the first coffeeshop I went to when I first went to the 'Dam back in early 2001, so I always pop in out of tradition. It's quite a dark and dingy place, but that's how I like them! The hard wooden seats were quite uncomfortable and the Hobbit-sized tables were quite an obstacle for a big strapping bloke like myself. That said, the various staff I have seen in Bens during my visits to the 'Dam have always been very friendly - The girl in there this year let me have a closer look at their range of weed, as well as several sniffs! Opted for the 'Ice' weed in the end, which was a great smooth smoke and got me ticking along nicely! The music tends to be Hip-Hop, which is no bad thing either.

I arrived as most heavy bag, aching fee and dying for a smoke. Dumped the bags at the hotel and being my first time in the Dam promised myself to stop in the first cafe I walk past. Ben!! A strange name for a coffeeshop but hey, my mate's called Ben so I'm in. First impression was bit the place as a bit small and empty but cosy looking. The guy behind the counter was a star, told him it was my first visit and he was chuffed I chose his coffeeshop for my first!! The weed is good, fair priced and the staff were really friendly, even talking on my phone to a cab driver who got lost with my mates in. Try this place for a real chilled smoke. Many thanks to the staff for helping me and my friends out. Peace!

More of a juice bar than a coffeeshop, visited on a couple of occasions 5th - 7th Aug 2003. No alcohol served, but a cosy little place outta the heat (if u were there at the same time u'd know what I mean!). Atmospheric lighting, a chillum at each table & bongs for hire (one guy made the most of, to hilarious effect) & most important of all, a tidy smokers menu. Recommend the orange bud & polm ready rolled.
Nice to lie back & watch the street performers go by!
