Utrechtsestraat 21, 1017 VH Amsterdam

Boerejongens is the most decorated coffeeshop in modern Amsterdam, having won multiple Highlife Cups and Cannabis Cups with its in-house cultivated strains. The Centraal branch (on Utrechtsestraat) maintains the same pharmacy-chic aesthetic as the original — clean white tiles, clinical lighting, lab-coat-wearing budtenders — and the same obsessive quality control. The house strain menu is deep and diverse: from AMG (Amsterdam Genetics) staples like Lemon Haze and Silver Bubble to limited drops like Mimosa and Slurricane. The pricing is what shocks first-timers — top-shelf flower at €15–€18/g that competes with €30/g Cali imports from other shops. Hash selection is similarly impressive, with hand-rolled Belgian and Moroccan plates at mid-range prices. The queue can be long (especially Friday evenings), but it moves fast. Boerejongens is the definitive answer for the damlive.com reader who wants elite quality without paying hype-markup.
