Fun little place, great service, very friendly, smiling faces. I only tried the Bubblegum joint at 3.20 euro, which was nice and strong, very fresh smelling, the rest of the menu had several choices that looked good as well. Couches with pillows, nice stools to sit on, outside terras seating as well, relaxing place. Across the way is the bier profloekal "In de Wildman," one of the best bier cafes in all of Holland. The little building out front used to be a distillery (1600 1700's?) and if you look at the stone archway over the door on the terras side, you can see where it is worn down from them carrying in bags of grain, interesting history.

Staff very friendly, used their internet lounge upstairs to make my daily check- in to the US. (I'm here & I'm high). I've not seen much hoopla about the place, but I loved it for their ambience, staff and cool jazz, good selection of drinks and menu/goods I was most impressed with being a neophyte but quasi regular kush smoker over the years. Maybe because I was a woman traveling alone, I felt immediate comfort and acceptance, whereas other coffeeshops I wandered by with blaring rasta-mahn music or dark and dreary, I kept walking feeling weird vibes.

I have been to Betty Boop on two different trips to Amsterdam. They definitely have the friendliest staff of any coffee shop in A'dam. They are also very conveniently located across the street from In de Wildeman, which has the best beer selection in Amsterdam. You can't beat that!

Excellent banana shakes and very cute little lizards of some description to stare at endlessly!

A good idea on my first day because I tried the Northern Lights and had trouble feeling my legs. Cindy, the barmaid turned me onto to Cocomel, a tasty chocolate drink that was wonderful hot or cold.

Found this place by accident whilst we were getting lost. Turned out to be very pleasant, the weed was good quality and their orange juice is truly awesome.

Right near the central high street, this small, but perfectly formed shop had one of the finest attitudes in Amsterdam. People were cool - guy (who was colourblind) greeted us first in Dutch, then in English - but in a cool way. Woman behind the bar very friendly. They had access to a great outside seating area, right next to a lovely, very old, church and other outlets who also had outside seating. Blended in well with the other businesses, and didn't seem as if we were intruding on those that weren't smoking. Brought ready mades, at 4 euro's, which were good(ish). Still had stuff from La Canna though...but were able to smoke that without trouble! Wife really liked it...unlike some very male-orientated places!!

I visited Betty Boop coffee shop while spending a week in Amsterdam late February 2003. This was a really bad time to be an American in Europe with the impending war at hand. But Cindy welcomed me in and made me feel welcome. She made the best banana/vanilla milk shakes! I visited several times during the week. I was always greeted by come on in American biker man. I guess my huge 35mm camera gave me away as a tourist. It was a festively relaxed atmosphere that brought you back on the tram day after day. I don't partake of smoking weed but my travelling companion was very pleased with the selection and quality of the merchandise. If you are in Amsterdam and want to relax and smoke or just have a couple of Cindy's smart shakes, Betty Boop is a cool place to go to have a good time and not get ripped off. I visited about ten coffee shops and this one was my favorite!

I have visited the Betty Boop coffeeshop several times to use their Internet-access computers, which are located upstairs. I haven't purchased any goods other than the required one-drink minimum when you use their computers, and the shop is fairly small, but I have found the staff to be very friendly and the Internet access a good bargain, especially if you just want to pop in and check e-mail or do some surfing for train schedules.
