Het Ballonnetje Coffeeshop

I went to this place 4 years ago and, having since moved to NL, it still sticks in my memory. The staff were friendly and helpful. At that time I didn't really know much beyond "sativa" and "indica" so I remember being asked what mood I wanted - they recommended Mango Kush. It was top notch! I've never had as clean, chilled and enjoyable a high from this strain since having it from this coffeeshop. They didn't have an extensive menu but they clearly have gone for quality. This place is small, in a cozy way, and has a super chilled atmosphere. I don't remember exactly the refreshment menu but I do remember that I got really into the fruit teas they had... I would strongly recommend hanging out here with a book, a partner or a just couple of buddys.

This might be one of the finest shops in Amsterdam, the quality of herb is outstanding (one of the few shops which has Girl Scout Cookies). The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, it almost feels like chilling at your mate's to blaze some of the finest cannabis in europe. This shop is also a must follow on instagram, where they display the variety of nugz they feature. My personal favourites are Gorilla Glue #4, Girl Scout Cookies (original cookies fam product) and Kosher Kush, these strains are fairly pricey 13-16€/ g but het also features cheaper strains and a variety of hash. The shop features a nice upstairs area which can lure you in for hour-long smoke sessions, the only downside would be the stoner unfriendly stairs with steps half as big as your foot. Overall I had a nice experience at Het and I would recommend this shop to everyone in Amsterdam, especially because it isn't in the crowded city center.

Nice space. Very unassuming. The quality of weed is unbeatable.

This shop has to be one of the best in Amsterdam, for locals and visitors alike. 1. Very friendly, professional staff. 2. Reasonable prices, plenty to choose from. 3. Comfortable atmosphere, devoid of aggression or large crowds. Would highly recommend their own outdoor bio strain 'Bio Balloon', which has the best quality for price in the enitre city!
