    Amazing place with the best product in the area. Loved it. The guys working there where really helpful and nice, the helped me choose the best strain for me. Is not easy to choose a place in town since there are so many, that’s why I recommend this one for sure.

    Super friendly & helpful. Most importantly, product is of high quality. We sampled our purchase on the front ledge of the shop as we took shelter from the rain. Quite idyllic—would certainly return

    One of the top 5 best coffee shops in Amsterdam 💯💯💯 Didn’t have much stock and nothing much I fancied when I last visited. However it does have a huge selection! Opens late and the coffee shop is like no other 👌🏽

    The wildest space cake I had! Effects lasted 36 hours. They have excellent quality here!

    Came here by a recommendation on an Amsterdam travel review about special gems. And it did not defraud. Good vibes, very nice people, for those who are not familiarised with the theme, they explain and advised you on the best product depending on what you want. They don’t take advantage of you because you’re a tourist. The product is of really good quality. It is a small place, where you feel welcomed. Moreover, you can spot people taking pictures of the place from the outside.

    A classic, and still the best coffeeshop in Amsterdam. I went in 2014 and returned in 2022 and it's still great. Just a heads up: it's the best in product quality and friendly service, which really isn't the case for most coffeeshops downtown. However, it's' just a small spot and not really somewhere to have a smoke. There's only a couple of seats there, which is fine. But still, the prices are absolutely fair for the tremendous quality they have. Smoke somewhere else, and definitely don't skip visiting this spot.

    This place is trash and shady as heck!! Weed doesn’t have that weird stigma in 2023. The guy behind the counter gave me a stain one day, and the second day I bought the same strain but realized they switched the weed on me behind the counter. Weird petty nonsense?!! The whole setting is set for wanna be pot heads into old rap. I’m from the New York metro area, the trendy nonsense of pot is gone and weed isn’t cool, it’s a thing people use medically to relax or give them energy. This place is corny and shady. I asked the guys that work there, what they had with a high mercyne count and they didn’t know jack about the pot they sell. Watch closely that they sell you the weed you’re buying!! They will switch it on you if you don’t!! They did it to me and if you don’t smoke regularly, they will absolutely do it to you. I realized they switched on me when I got to my hotel and noticed it was a lot less quality stain then the one I was shown and smelled at the shop but it was my fault because I wasn’t looking at the transaction trusting the dudes there.

    1st visit no problem, 2nd visit had to deal with a rude employee. Menu was OK, price was average. Small shop and lucky if you can find a seat. Also the thousands of Rizlas on the wall is a fire 🔥 🔥🔥 waiting to happen. Wheres the health and safety 🤔

    Small location, but the prices are good and the green product is remarkably potent. Wish I could have stayed longer, but the lounge was very full.

  • 5/5 Anand G. 1 year ago on Google
    Grey Area never let's you down! The place is small and there's really no room to sit. However the coffee there is out of this world! The menu is extensive and there's something for everyone! Also, don't forget to leave your name on a Rizla for the future ppl to see lol

  • 2/5 Kristian D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff wasn't helpful enough. They didn't spent time explaining what I asked for and just pointed the first item from the menu which was definitely not what I asked for...it was too strong unfortunately and I won't go there again. The other options might be good but who knows...I definitely don't recommend for people who need some guidance before buying. I am putting 2 stars - 1 for the fact that I received something and second for probably good products.

    One of the best coffeeshops to pick up from in Central Amsterdam! The legendary shop has been visited by so many over the years and for a good reason. I love the decor, endless variations of stickers left and even left my own lil stamp inside. They sell merchandise so be sure to pick up a souvenir. I bought a pin and it’s very high quality. Sitting in for “coffee” is not advisable as the shop is really small and it does get busy throughout the day - no complaints though! I highly recommend giving them a try!

    A very small coffeeshop but what it lacks in area it makes up for it in its expertise. Amazing quality buds and good prices. You can buy as low as 0.5 grams There's hardly any room inside apat from one table and a few chairs but feel free to use them if available It's a cash only shop so keep your Euros handy

    Super chill place to go to. Small hole in the wall. The prices were right and the weed was top shelf. They had everything you needed to roll another number for the road. Just be careful with all the rolling papers decorating the wall. You don't want to be that one dude who takes out a section of wall paper with your sweaty head.

    Love the great products on display at Grey Area. The menu keeps changing every now and then and the customer always gets to pick new products to smoke. I would’ve wished the service to be a bit more friendly and shop, especially underneath the seating section to be a bit more cleaner

    Absolutely love this place. I cannot wait to visit again. Staff was very helpful and was able to pick me out something energising and uplifting. The coffee there is decent too, I don't know much Dutch but was able to order a Latte which was pretty good, and good value for money. 10/10.

    Very nice, small coffee shop. Delicious hot chocolate, good music. You can smoke through one of their in-house bongs. There’s also a vaporised on the stall. Very chill place!

  • 4/5 summer K. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm a regular smoker and I was on a rush, so I bought 1 gr of mimosa and a prerolled pure joint. I just wanted to chill a bit my nerves... Well, I've spend the rest of the day next to the canal enjoying the sunshine, cancelled the appointment and couldn't believe that it was just a prerolled joint! I'm going back to them right now to try some more!

  • 5/5 Leanne H. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little coffeeshop. A good selection, but kept going back for my favourite Forbidden Fruit. Defo one to try if you like stinky tasty smoke. The guys serving were very friendly and helpful. Small shop with a few tables and chairs but a one of a kind shop with good music and filled with stickers and rizlas you can add if you want. Will definitely be coming back :)

    Visited quite late at night but still limited seating as it’s quite a small/“cozy” place. Definitely has character. The person serving me was nice and easy. I was charged 10 euro for a rollie which feels a bit steep.

  • 5/5 Craig G. 5 years ago on Google
    Some of the best weed in the city at a reasonable price. Great chilled atmosphere, perfect to recharge the batteries. Will be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Josefina M. 7 months ago on Google
    Best service I’ve had in a very long time for anything! I wish i could give the service 6 stars level of good. Explained all the different strains and then even rolled a smaller one for me! Great high too.

    One of the best coffeeshops in amsterdam. The weed is very good and strong. There Are the best Strains in town.

  • 4/5 Yojairy J. 11 months ago on Google
    Flew in from Boston and my first stop was this place! Heard great reviews, as they should. Super helpful and such a cozy little spot to smoke one real quick. I only stayed to smoke 1 but it took me almost an hour to smoke because I was already so high, premium quality. My only con was that it was tinier than I expected and not much seating but it was so nice to see so many people come in and check it out. Also, very artistic I could be in there all day staring at everything on the ceiling, walls, tables. Would highly recommend and would come back!

  • 4/5 Scott L. 2 years ago on Google
    cool guy, currently selling some forbidden fruit type strain and it's really tasty.

  • 5/5 Casey P. 1 year ago on Google
    I stopped in here on a recent trip to Amsterdam one day when the weather was pretty terrible and had the perfect Amsterdam coffee shop experience. The service was really friendly and the weed was very good!

  • 5/5 Tayfun 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
