Abraxas

Iconic coffeeshop not far from Dam Square. The staff are super friendly and multilingual. Grab some high quality stuff and head back to your hotel or head up the tight Dutch spiral staircases to smoke with some other chill folks in their unique environment. You have to buy a drink to smoke on site, but their awesome wait staff will bring you whatever you want.

They make fantastic coffee. The bar is spotless and the level of cleanliness is top-standard. The only drawback is the space: the building is quite small when you enter and upstairs as well, and during busy times it’s almost impossible to move around. However, we were lucky enough to find a free table, and overall it was a great experience. The staff were polite and attentive. My compliments to the girl behind the bar who made my coffee — she was very professional. She had medium-long black hair, although I didn’t catch her name.

Always a pleasure to visit this coffee shop. The Italian crew is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We arrived straight from another coffee shop (and it probably showed 🤭) and bought two space cakes at Abraxas, planning to eat them the next day. The lady at the counter asked whether we had eaten beforehand, advised us not to consume them on an empty stomach, and clearly recommended not eating more than one. Later, when the waiter took our order at the table and noticed the cakes alongside other smoking products, he kindly warned us to be careful with both the quantity and the combination of smoking and eating. This level of care really stood out. They are not just trying to push products or sell as much as possible (unlike some other places in town) they genuinely care about their customers’ well-being. On top of that, the coffee shop itself is beautiful. The decoration is amazing (perfect to trip on), and the menu has expanded since our last visit. First visit: November 2023: 5 stars. Second visit (latest, but definitely not the last): November 2025: 6 stars, if I could!

This is my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam.. I have been coming here for almost 20 years now.. Me and my girlfriend always come here and it never disappoints.. They always have good bud and friendly staff and a very welcoming vibe.. Love this place.. ❤️

Visited this week. Nice look and atmosphere to the place. Welcoming budtenders who are happy to recommend if you're not sure. It's great when the staff are so enthusiastic. We didn't sit inside but there seemed to be plenty of room. Not cramped. Keep up the great work guys. We will be back

Best coffee shop in Amsterdam hands down. All the staff from the reception to the waiters and the bartenders were polite and helpful. As a first timer, the guy with the glasses and the short brown hair was very helpful and held a nice convo with us. The decoration is amazing. And everything is good quality. Congrats to everyone one the team

Good smoke, really nice coffee, good atmosphere, what more do you need
