The Store Coffeeshop

Way back in 1996 I visited Amsterdam for the first time. The Doors was the first Coffee Shop I ever visited. I have been coming back ever since. Last year 2016 "The Doors Coffee Shop" was forced the change the Name. Due to trademark shit. The new name is "The Shop" besides that it is 100% the same. The ambiance, the music, staff and the Canal View so close to Central Station makes it my all time favorite! Two things.....don't ask for the menu, walk up and push the "BIG RED BUTTON" second watch out for the "house Spider!"

The Doors was probably my favourite coffeeshop I visited while in Amsterdam. Located on one of the canals, this place was medium sized and had a hippy feel to it, with an array of 70s and 80s beats as part of the music playlist. What did impress me though was the unusual selection of bud, as well as the hash that was available there. Staff made me and my compatriots feel more than welcome. Also one of the first shops you will come across coming from Amsterdam Central Station if you head to the right upon leaving the building. A must visit to one of Dams less commercial establishments.
