Yank from USA. Visited 9 July. Sent 17 Jul 2005.
Got the Lebenon and Great Shark bud there. Luv the hash, and the Great Shark was ok, a lot like the White Widow, a stoner's high; but the hash was most refreshing and yummy to boot. Old school music and luvly dealerette. Reminded me of 50's Americana.

I am a regular for many years. The shop has had a face lift last year. It now has a colorfull design and they made it smaller. There is a small coffee bar for maximum 8 people. There have been more changes, the smokers-menu has impressively grown and the coffee is great. I am a real coffeefreak and I like a small restretto (espresso) and her I can get the right one. This year they celebrate their 25th anniversary. So there is a party planned on September 4 in De Melkweg. Don't know what will happen there yet.

Long been my preference for homebase when buying & smoking in Amsterdam. Its very attraction for me is it is off the tourist radar - sitting non-descript in the center of a non-descript block. Inside there are only Dutch who have always been friendly and welcoming to any conversation I might strike up. Though it has been a year since I last visited the Biba - for the last nine years it has earned a regular visit at least once a day during every vacation to that city of canals. There is a mural that runs the perimeter of the wall all around the shop of some Dutch history in cartoon that sets the tone for understated eclectic charm. The window bench is full of magazines, there are stools and tables, the music (when its played) is soft and appropriate to conversation. Stay away if you are not sensitive to others please but if you want an oasis in the Jordaan for a cup and some fine smoke. Well by all means.
