At Mellow Yellow I sampled Super Skunk. It was a great first smoke in Amsterdam. This strain gives you a great high, but yet you can still function while walking around the city. The interior of Mellow Yellow was great with nice comfy black couches on the second level and big yellow coffee tables. They have a pinball machine and a video game station on the second level as well. There are several silver tables and chairs up there too. The mix of tourists and Dutch was cool, and the American classic rock gave me a sort of trippy feeling. Their menu had plenty of choices, although not an overwhelming number from which to choose. This place had a really mellow, inviting vibe as soon as we walked in, and I felt extremely comfortable there.

I actually saw this coffeeshop getting alot of stick on the Internet also, but I found that because it was further out from Dam Square it had less touristy people in so it was very relaxed. One guy was telling us about all the different types of weed and hash, and the effects it would have on us so I suppose he was quite helpful. He wanted us to stay for a smoke with him which was cool aswell, but we were already too mashed! Definitely a good coffeeshop! I thought it was a belter!

Good company, good shop, took a group of first time friends there what a day, it may be drab decor, but after a joint who cares about the paint.

This was our first stop of the day, it was nice inside, the bar was upstairs with a nice if limited selection of weed and hash, drinks were cheap too. We stayed here a few hours and quickly found a deli a few blocks down which greatly benefited from our little session ;)

Personally, we loved our visit to the Mellow Yellow and cherish the friends we made throughout our stay in Amsterdam. That black light bathroom is something we need to get started in our construction remolding business and especially in our personal home. We miss the coffee, White Widow and good company.

First of all don't smoke anything called 'Thai', 'Nigerian' etc because it's all the same and it's all shit, that is, bad shit. My hotel was round the corner from here so I came a lot, enjoyed some nice Jack Herrer and passed the days quite comfortably. The owners are pretty intense and have an intelligently dispassionate attitude towards tourists that some may perceive as unfriendliness. One major plus is that, even when busy, it lacks the claustrophobic environment of many coffeeshops, lots of light and lots of air, even if they could perhaps put something decent on the stereo sometime. The freshly squeezed orange juice is really good, the Citral hash was pleasant, and the staff are cool. This place gets slagged off a lot on the net by people who are, by my estimations, pretentious wannabes and delicate types.

Although old and outdated, provides an old world feel to what in some cases has become a fast weed business. Mello has a nice feel to it, wander in and put your feet up, have a Coke or two (the owner loves the coke stuff, look at the decor) blow a joint or two and have a friendly chat with Michael while you're there.

This shop has got a fat menu allowing you to see the weed or hash before you buy. The Thai was a bit of a let down but the Afghan Cream hash is heavy. Roll it in to a sausage and put it in the middle of your joint you will be blowing in the wind. The stairs are a bit difficult to get down holding cups of coffee after 3 hours solid smoking. You're meant to pay for the toilet but just pull the door and it will open. Stop in here then head just down the street to Little and you can't go wrong. My only gripe is the fact that they have MTV on all the time but if you have mini disk just put that on and kick back

Located just above the Prinsen Gracht on the right side. The weed was alright. but it had a pay toilet that accepted 20 cent euro's, did not accept anything smaller and didn't give change. so be ready!

The coffeeshop was lovely, and the staff there were really friendly, (not just the nice because you were a customer either). It was a bit of a walk fro the dam square, but i'd strongly recommend a stop there if passing.
Very friendly if in big groups! not that bothered if two people.

Very poor! It is one of the first coffeeshops in Amsterdam, and it looks like they still sell the same strains and haven't decorated since!
