When I found De Kuil was closed one rainy Saturday morning, I ducked in here and was so glad I did! The music was cool, the dealer was very friendly, weighed my purchase of Crystal in front of me - observed by the rather cool cat lying on the bar, and I had a great little chill out session in here! It was early - around 10:15am and a lot of places were just waking up I guess, and it's so easy to walk straight past this little gem of a shop as it doesn't scream "Tourist Coffeeshop" at you, but do yourselves a favour and give them a visit. I shall definitely be coming back here when I return again in February. Big thumbs up for being open on a Saturday morning and having a nice, "gezellig" atmosphere.

Just a quick note to tell everyone that I found this coffeeshop to be one of the best in Amsterdam due to the friendliness of the employees. I visited it several times over the past year and especially enjoyed it's wide selection of hashes. It's a shame that my government won't allow these types of shops in the U.S. , makes me want to move to Europe.

I strongly disagree with Brian. I LOVED this place! I did my research at home and knew this was the first shop I wanted to try. I had no idea it was so close to my hotel! How lucky could I get? Also, De Kroon Twee is NOT next to De Kuil! It is across the alley as I'm sure you know. We found all the staff and the owner to be VERY friendly and willing to give advice and guidance not only on their products but many other places in town. They encouraged us to try several coffeeshops and see what was out there instead of presenting themselves as the be all and end all of the coffeeshop world unlike many other shops we were in. Mohammed (sp?) taught me the Dutch word for 'cozy' and it describes this place wonderfully. It's not the fancyest or the hippest place in town but I did find it to be the most wonderful. The staff couldn't be any more helpful than they were. They were always ready with a quick, warm welcoming smile that seemed truly genuine and not at all fake. We were ALWAYS able to see what we were buying before we bought it, they weighed it right there in front of you and no way in hell are they going to sell you ANY shake! Only the best buds for their customers! One day all they had was shake of a particular strain I was looking for. They reluctantly sold it to me ONLY after I agreed to let them mark it DOWN! I never saw anything like that in any other coffeeshop. Quite the opposite in some cases. It really burns my hide to see someone so negative and obviously uninformed write a review but I guess we are entitled to our opinions (wrong as they may be, lol) I just had to tell you about my experiences there. When I come back to your beautiful city November 21, De Kroon Twee will be my very first stop (like last year) after I check in. I can't wait to see those guys again! They totally rock!

Right next to de Kuil - no friendly faces there, just off-hand remarks, so we turned around and walked out. Not recommended.
