Amsterdam Coffee Shops
Baba Coffeeshop
Right at the entrance to the Red Light District in Amsterdam is a cool little coffeeshop that might be worth a look inside. Baba Coffeeshop is a great place sit peacefully and smoke. It's also a good spot for people watching— the tinted glass windows looking down Warmoesststraat make it easy to see out, but not so easy to see in.
Baba is a popular Amsterdam coffeeshop both for first time smokers and long time veterans. The menu of products is extensive (but not too pricey) and the staff very knowledgeable and friendly— you can go into Baba coffeeshop a complete beginner and leave "knowing your stuff." It's also a good option for those who have never tried marijuana and are not comfortable with the idea of smoking the stuff. They have a good selection of "space cakes" and marijuana desserts. You can eat your way to becoming a marijuana veteran.
The atmosphere at Baba coffeeshop is good for those who are on their own. The tinted windows make it rather dark inside, and the loud house music makes Baba a good place to sit and space out, so to speak. However, if you're looking for conversation or to hang out with friends, the music is a bit too loud— it can be difficult to make yourself heard. The thumping house music can also be a bit stressful; so if you're not into this type of music you may want to go somewhere else.
Though Baba itself is clean, nice, and really quite welcoming, it's important to note that to get there, you'll have to cross a relatively sketchy area. While you won't be an any danger, many visitors to Baba are approached (or even "accosted") by dealers looking to sell drugs. So if you're not comfortable with the idea of facing drug dealers, you may want to go somewhere else. But if you want a cool, laid-back vibe and a place to sit and get away from it all (and you like house music), Baba is a great choice.
