Coffeeshop 36

Its canal view at the back sold us on this place and it's close to the station which is ideal if you're in Amsterdam only briefly. This coffeeshop is housed on several different levels, which isn't exactly an advantage if you're travelling with wheel-bound suitcases. (We like to get down to business as soon as we arrive). The low lighting, 'strategically' placed wrought-iron gates and the metal rock interior will suit some more than others, but the friendly staff and separation of weed and drink sales (rare so close to the station) make it a worthwhile addition to our list.
