We had visited previously over Christmas 2004, when we were staying very close to Haarlemmerstraat and must have walked past this place so many times. It's right opposite Umma Gumma (Pink Floyd). Fortunately on our last visit we spotted the happy breakfast sign and decided to give it a go. In a word - fantastic - and for €9.50 an absolute bargain, full English plus orange juice, with the added bonus of a generous sprinkling of Snow White! (without the sprinkle it's €7.50) On Sundays they have a happy hour which finishes at 12:30 when you can get a gram of any weed for €5. We got the Snow White which was so good we polished it off within a few hours. The owners are really lovely and friendly, and the artwork on the upper level is very cool. Upstairs is nice and bright, downstairs is dark and sultry. It was never very busy when we were in there so it was a good place to chill out.

Small and dark, yet comfortable and friendly. Decent smoke.

Very nice coffeeshop. Some of the best prices for weed and hash I have seen anywhere in central Amsterdam. Plus they have a happy hour on Sundays where all weed is half price (can’t remember what time though, sorry!) Bought ‘Snow White’ weed here, which was a good smoke. We ended up in the downstairs area which had some really cool artwork on the walls, and the seating was comfy enough to stay for a couple of joints. Staff were friendly and the music ambient and chilled. Nice!

I would like to say that I loved Popeye. It was my favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam. I was there for 2 weeks in August. My favorite part of it was the owner who was very friendly and talked with me quite a bit, and even gave me and my fiancee a little tour of some of the cool buildings around the shop. He and the bartender also took great time to tell us cool things that were happening in the area and how to get there. My first time there was late at night on the way to the hotel we wanted to get some smoke to take with us, they were just closing up but he let us in and sold us some anyway, very cool! The shop itself is small but had a cool interior. The lowest level was Indian-like with murals, silky pillows, and candles and the main level had a smoke and drink bar with a microscope to view the smoke of the day. The upper level was cool with a blacklight around the ceiling and more tables and candles. The smoke was especially tasty and not expensive. I visited over 50 shops and found myself going back to this one over and over. It will be the first shop to visit when I go back to A-dam. Don't forget to check out the happy breakfast prepared with White Widow, delicious.

Near Barney's and it has a large St. Bernard welcoming you as you come in. I sat on the bottom floor where the painting will keep you looking for the time. Nice and comfortable atmosphere.

Good for writing. Went on the top level in the morning and had a ready rolled with my breakfast. Strong is not the word. I thought I'd have to get a stretcher out of there. What stood out was the professionalism of the Indian Guys who ran it. I think they were Indian. Forgive me! No Messing, straight down the line. V Interesting.

Good menu, I noticed that they had Ice-O-Lator hash, didn’t get any though. Sat down underneath. A young couple on holiday from Israel seemed very interested in us and asked to have their picture taken with us; I figure they must have thought we were famous or something.

Recommended to us in Dokkum. It's a three level shop. Comfortable, roomy, with one area devoted to computers (prices reasonable for internet access). Prices are typical for that neighborhood (well not as high as Barneys) and quality fine. Didn't seem to have the tourist vibe as many Amsterdam shops have.

Popeye is one of my favourite coffeeshops in town. If like me cash is a little short, you should make the trip to Popeye on a Sunday morning for their "Smokey hour". All weed is € 5 a gram!!!!! I advise you to bring some ID as the over 18 policy is strictly enforced (rightly so). And remember - leave some weed for me...

Good smoke, try Isolator, it's 23 euro a gram but well worth it. Got asked for ID even though I'm 27 but anyway check it out. Across the street from Pink Floyd. Well worth visit.

I'm surprised no one has at least commented on this Harlemmerstaat shop. It's right across the street from Pink Floyd. For some reason, whenever I got to A'dam, I always have to go here to use the internet and buy a pre-rolled. The shop isn't really that great, but I like the fact that the computers are in a little separate room underground.
