It's all transactions here and unlike the other spots in Barney's, Grey Area, or Abraxas, the don't give you a grinder or anything to roll on. I've been coming here twenty years and for them to just treat you like a transaction sucks and misses the whole culture and vibe that the experience is supposed to bring . The one good thing from here is their moon rock joint. The rest you can find better elsewhere and if you want to feel the culture and vibe don't come here. What a disappointment read more

This was a pretty cool little Cafe tucked away nicely in an alley. Pretty prime location right on the canals if you can find parking or if you walk or have a bike. Had a great selection of herbs and beans read more

Our first adventure in the city. We obviously wanted to find a shop where we can also eat since we didn't know how the munchies would hit. This was the closest to us while we were at an outdoor market. I think the walk was less than 5 mins. Right off the bat, the vibe was it. It's in a considerably quieter area as the other side had way more foot traffic. We were greeted by two guys when we walked in. They had a pretty nice collection. We each got a gram, borrowed a grinder and planted ourselves at the table right by the window so we could people watch. When I tell you, what we got ended up getting me high high. My Asian eyes disappeared. I kept losing my train of thought then the munchies kicked in. I got the strawberry/banana shake and shrimp noodz. There was a bit of confusion with the menu. We didn't realize we were getting noodles. Much to our surprise l, it was cup of noodles. As a whole, everything was great. Service was good and the herbs were nice but I took one star away because of the noodz. It's like they didn't even want to try. We were seated next to a group of Americans who said this was one of their favorite spots. They had been to a bunch of other spots read more

My first visit to a cookie store in Amsterdam- very helpful staff, serene environment, well stocked supply of cookies. The space cake was very potent - my friend devoured one and was walking sideways as we ventured back to our 30 minute trek to the Intercontinental Amstel - what an adventure! read more

This was my first return to the The Rookies since 1995. It's still my favorite place in Amsterdam to chill and smoke. The vibe is still like it was in the old daze, very welcoming and mellow. If you get a chance, drop on by, this place is very satisfying, safe and sells some sticky flowers too read more

A great place. Quiet, intimate, and relaxing place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff were helpful. Good prices, good product. More of a local hangout than the typical touristy cafes that permeate the city central. read more

By far the worst customer service I have had IN MY LIFE. I have been to three other coffee shops and dozens of food places in Amsterdam in the past few years, and even on hot days with long lines im always treated well (at the very least). Today I walked in and couldnt find a menu on the bar, the lady behind the bar then asked very abruptley, "Can I help you with somethinf?" I politely replied, "Yes could I see a menu real quick?" Rudely rude with a head shake of annoyance she asked, "For what?" And when I told her and I got the menu, There wasnt anything much I was looking for, so i politely said thank you and walkes out. I rarely review places on Yelp as I fee anyone can have an off day, but what I experienced next made me really appauled. As I was walking out the lady then chuckled at us and said good luck. I would have brushed off the experience besides the fact that we read two not so great reviews about the lack of good service but decided to gice it a shot, we thought we might as well give them the bennefit of the doubt. My suggestion? Go to "The Noon" which is about a 90 second walk accross the cannal from there. read more

Avoid all the other coffee shops in Amsterdam. The Rookies is the best. Everyone is nice - customers and employees. Sit inside or outside, smoke, enjoy a strawberry-banana fruitshake, watch the world go by, and enjoy the music. I was in town for a week and stopped by The Rookies at least 5 times - morning, afternoon, and night. Always chill and never unpleasant. Excellent music, too. I heard great songs by Sly Stone, Chuck Berry, R.E.M., and more. read more

The Rookies - Coffeeshops Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This is just one of those things you have to experience when visiting Amsterdam. This coffee shop was recommended to us by a local when we asked for something less touristy than the Bulldog. As soon as you walk in you'll find the barista where you can get a nice espresso or latte along with your space cake or roll of choice. Prices were very reasonable. They offer free WiFi and lots of tables to relax in the next room. I visited a couple of times during my stay in Amsterdam since it was conveniently located by my hostel. The staff was super friendly and even gave me some nice big decals as souvenirs when I purchased my last space cake and told them it was my last day in Amsterdam. How good was it? I felt it all the way to Berlin. read more

Funny story - our friend was telling us about this mythical coffeeshop that also had a bar that served beer. I was skeptical because I was pretty sure that wasn't allowed. Lo and behold, we got there and they sold Amstel... 0%. Yeah, alcohol free beer. But the place is huge and they have a ton of seating. Pretty chill crowd. read more

Rookies is located in the Leidseplein area of Amsterdam, which means it's busy!! This shop always has a great weed selection and has a comfy smoking lounge... They had some pretty decent Space Cakes that didn't rock my world, but hit the spot... This shop was one of my Firsts YEARS ago, and I'll continue to visit each time I come to Amsterdam... read more

The staff here was super helpful and friendly (besides the waitress who wouldn't let me keep my water bottle on the table). The products - especially the sativas - were top notch, and we picked 2 that just so happened to be favorites of our bud tender! The location was large and comfortable with great music ranging from tribal music to American rock. Definitely a favorite from the trip. read more

Holy sh*t, Yelp is in Amsterdam!!! This is a review for the coffee shop not for the hotel. My favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam. The ones you find in the guide books are way too packed and some have creepy vibes. This place however, was awesome. Very laid back. The people who work there are very knowledgeable and helpful. We tried out other places, but ended up back here every time. I probably ended up spending 1/3 of my time in Amsterdam at this coffee shop. = ) read more

I loved this coffee shop. A very large range of weed, quite cheap, and a very good bar. We have been there a couple of times during our stay. The guys at the bar are helpful in the choice of weed and they can explain you every type they have on their "menu". You can stay in or stay out, there are a couple of tables outside. The coffee (espresso) is very good and their cakes are tasty too. If you are in the neighbourhood i vividly suggest you to go there for a quick smoke and for a cup of something. Really nice enviroment with nice waitresses and cashiers. If i would ever go back to amsterdam i will definetly go back to this nice and lovely coffee shop! read more

Interesting....Sara S must think I am the creepy guy following her around ! Don't spend 1/3 of your time in coffee shops Sara ! Hotel I cannot comment on, as that is one area I spend (foolishly) money on...I like nice hotels !! The coffee shop has maybe fewer tourists....although tourists don't necessarily mean unsophisticated rubes....sometimes tis nice to talk with them ferrriners ! Very nice and informative staff ! read more

This isn't just a coffeeshop - it has a hotel upstairs which is nicely priced and comfortable. The guy who runs it is really nice and we had a very pleasant stay. The coffeeshop is relaxed and has a good bar as well as the extras one expects in such establishments in Amsterdam. To get over the smioking ban they have screened off part of the coffeeshop for smoking purposes and it actually works very well. Because this is down in the less frequented part of the city (i.e. away from the main section of Dam Square and the red light district) it is more relaxed - it also means the place closes a little earlier than the bars in the busier area. It's one of my favourite haunts in the city and one which I keep returning to. read more

One of the best coffee shops in Amsterdam. The staff was very friendly. The menu is very extensive and has what each strain is good for. The bar is very nice and serves non alcoholic if you get cotton mouth. The prices are great compared to other coffee shops I've been to. There's plenty of space to sit and chill. They play really good music and low light really set the mood to smoke. When I told the staff this was my first time in Amsterdam visiting their coffee shop, they went above and beyond to make sure I had a great first puff. read more

Good place for your first stop on the amsterdam weed tour. Cheap prices, knowledgable staff.

Great area very relaxed but Only reason they won't get a 5 star review is because of the extremely rude bartender bald tan guy, when I tell you he made you feel attacked, does not belong in this environment at ALL M, but I did complain to his colleagues and they were EXTREMELY kind and appeasing they offered countless measures to make up for HIS rudeness, they made this place a good experience and would be the only sole reason to return here. It's nice to be nice. read more

Relaxed environment. Relatively cheap compared to other coffeeshops in the area. One space cake is good for at least two people. If you've never had anything before, I highly discourage starting with the cake. read more

Since there are endless number of coffeeshops in Amsterdam, one of the most important things in my opinion is the service quality and kindness of the people who works there. We arrived there 3 friends, right after the opening-hour, and got the most awful treatment from the worker. Bitterness and negativity when asking about the WiFi password, I don't let angry people stress me out, so I asked him (in the nicest way) why choosing "bad vibes" over love and kindness, he answered: "just shut up". It's not my fault that he got up on the wrong side, and totally unprofessional to us being the customers. Don't go there - hate should not be supported. read more

Staff was not friendly. Closed extremely early. Just sat down and they started putting chairs up around us. We felt very rushed. Would find another coffee shop next time for sure. read more

Good vibe and spacious lounge area. Prices are decent for joints too. Tucked away near some quality food areas and not far from where we were staying. read more

Great chill spot. Their menu selection was great and the staff was helpful. Pricing was good and they have the best prices for space cakes for 6 euro. Other spots charge 7 euro for a fourth of the brownie size. Its located by a lot of food spots which is great. Nice mellow atmosphere. read more

best coffee shop of them all. best prices, the nicest staff, and a great environment. not too many tourists find this place. big bathrooms for European standards. they have a great ginger tea with real ginger that I got Everytime! read more

The coffee is great, they so many different coffees, the choice is great and when you leave your coffee will keep you going all day..

Extremely hostil and aggressive staff. When we came in, we complimented them on their music tast. The woman behind the counter told us in an aggressive tone that the only reason they play this "stupid" music was because the customers liked it. After we had purchased what we came for, we started talking in our language (norwegian). A man then came up to us angry and told us not to insult the staff (what we said had nothing to fo with them). Terrible service and hostil staff. DONT GO THERE. read more

Very tourist-friendly without being too terribly tourist-y: Spacious with a cool and very eclectic mix of music, mostly-friendly staff (depends on what day you go), some tables outdoors when the weather's warm. Rather expensive but all places that cater mainly to tourists are. Generally a cool vibe and a nice place to hang. read more

Good friendly staff and great vibe. The boat trip is also fantastic, much better than the tourist ones.
