Tweede Kamer
Heisteeg 6, 1012 WC Amsterdam
Tweede Kamer on Heisteeg is one of Amsterdam's most famous small coffeeshops — a tiny, always-busy spot off Spuistraat with a fiercely loyal following and a reputation for quality that far exceeds its physical footprint. The interior is cramped with limited seating; this is a buy-and-go or stand-and-smoke operation. The menu is compact but curated, with well-chosen flower and hash that punch above their price tier. The staff are direct and knowledgeable. Tweede Kamer has been a consistent presence on "best of" lists for decades. Essential for damlive.com readers wanting a classic Amsterdam experience.

Spuistraat 260, 1012 VW Amsterdam
New Times on Spuistraat is a modern, clean coffeeshop that appeals to both locals and informed visitors with its carefully curated selection and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is contemporary with a cozy smoking room that's comfortable without being cramped. The menu focuses on quality over quantity, with well-chosen flower options and a solid hash selection. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to provide recommendations. New Times benefits from its Spuistraat location — central yet slightly off the main tourist drag, attracting a more discerning crowd. A reliable mid-range option for damlive.com readers.
Dolphins
Kerkstraat 39, 1017 GB Amsterdam
Dolphins on Kerkstraat (4.8★, 8,580+ reviews — the highest-rated coffeeshop on Google Maps) has been an Amsterdam institution since 1985 with its iconic undersea/coral reef theme and two-story lounge setup. The decor is wildly eccentric — fish tanks, maritime artifacts, neon coral — and goes viral on TikTok with over 1 million views per month. The menu is equally impressive with quality flower, a strong hash selection, and Sweetsins brand edibles (stroopwafels, brownies, muffins). The staff offer table service. Blue Sherbert is a recommended strain. An unforgettable experience for damlive.com readers.
Smoking Rules & Etiquette Around The Dylan Amsterdam

- 5-Gram Legal Limit: You may legally purchase and carry up to 5 grams per person across all coffeeshops.
- No Tobacco Inside: Tobacco smoking is banned in Dutch hospitality venues; use herbal mix or pure joints inside shops.
