I managed to pop back to this lovely little establishment when I was in Eindhoven for a couple of days recently. I only had time for a couple of flying visits and I opted for ready rolled joints on both occasions. On the first day I had a Skuff Silver joint which was smooth and strong, so much so that I had to take momentary refuge on the benches opposite the shop until I was ready to continue on! The next day I bought White Widow and a Snow White ready-rolled joints which were both really nice. The traffic through the shop was brisk and in the 10 minutes I was there around 30 people came and went, so I guess this is a good indication of the quality of the product. It's all laid out in a glass case by the bar and there is a comprehensive range of weed and hash. They had Edelweiss, Northern Lights, White Widow, Snow White, Orange Bud, some variety of Haze and a mixture of dark (temple ball) and light hash (pollen). Deals were available for 6 or 12 euros and the ready-rolled joints I bought were 3.50 euros each. As previously stated, this is one of my favourite coffeeshops in all of Holland - definitely go there if you are in town.

The most known coffeeshop of Eindhoven. Large choice but expensive prices and loud music.

In my opinion the best Shop in Eindhoven. The pics @ the homepage tell the truth. Really nice and about 5 different kinds of weed, same about hash. They also offer space cake and cookies.

I discovered "The Pink" back in 2000 when I was performing in the city centrum at "Club Willomenia," and boy was I glad that I did, a top notch establishment. I was walking down a narrow alley looking for the shop as someone told me it was in that direction. I ran into a fellow walking into his apartment and I asked him where the coffeeshop was. He just happened to be one of the carpenters who did all the amazing wood work in "The Pink," guess they won an architecture award or two for the design. He took me right there, set me up with the staff and had to go, I thanked him as he left and was then given the best service ever!!! The shop itself is very nice inside. Sleek and modern designs w/ a wavy wooden bench going all along one wall, with cushions and several low tables, a nice wood bar and stools on the other side. There is a ramp to a back area that has more places to sit, many sun lights and plants etc., very chilled atmosphere, stayed for an hour or so. They played a good mix of music, some trance and good pop music, w/ some rock thrown in. They also have outside terras seating available, very nice. The weed is displayed with actual buds in a display case, I chose the "Snow White" and it was amazing!!! Soaring type of high and a wonderful flavor, I had to get a pre-rolled "Pure" joint as well, it came w/ a warning, that made me laugh, but I can see why, this stuff will rock your world!!! They don't serve alcohol, but they have all the other drinks you would expect, I enjoyed an ice cold Redbull to wash down the "Snow White," excellent combination. Close to the city centrum there are several bars and shops around, also saw a 5 piece band playing that were all on a bike, very surreal and amazing experience. If in Eindhoven you must stop in here, one of the better shops in all of Holland, 4 stars.

I was in Eindhoven on a football tour and had a few hours to spare in the city centre one day and so I decided to try and find a nice coffeeshop to pass away the time. I knew very little about the place so I asked in a record shop and was told to check out the Pink. The directions I was given turned out to be pretty accurate but it took me about an hour to locate the place as it is on a main street but the shop sign is a neon light - great at night but not a lot of use during the day!!!! Someone eventually walked me to the door and I still walked past it!!!! Look out for the orange and green decor, that's the best advice I can give you.
The shop is quite long but narrow, with a bar to the right, seats all down the left leading to a courtyard style back section. It is no-alcohol but that's not really a problem as the weed and hash was top draw. I bought a 5 euro bag of White Widow (the 3rd strongest weed according to the menu) and sat down in the back section enjoying the sunshine through the retractable roof!! I had nothing with me but was able to get Rizla and roach off the bar and they even sold individual cigarettes!!! The WW was really nice and gave a euphoric high that left me with a combination of nice stoned and paranoid stoned as I was feeling the effects after only one joint!!!! I struggled through a second joint and then aimlessly wandered off around the city centre for an hour of so!!!!
I had some free time the next day so I headed back to Eindhoven again and went straight to the Pink. I wanted to check out the weed at the top of their menu - Edelweiss - but I had to buy a 12 euro bag of it as they didn't have the 5 euro deal?!?!? It was another nice smoke that hit pretty hard but the WW was comparable. I also bought a ready rolled joint of Snow White later on in the day which was again top quality. The prices were better than in Amsterdam, especially for the ready rolled joints.
I liked the layout of this place, the decor was funky but chilled, the music selection was a mixture of cool dance and rock/indie, there was a nice mix of people coming in and out throughout the time I was there and the atmosphere was relaxed and easy-going.
Definitely a place to go if you are in Eindhoven. It's reputed to be the most famous coffeeshop there and I can see why it is so popular. One of the best I have been to in all of Holland.

Very nice coffeeshop, with good selection of products. There's maybe too much tourists.
