    What a really disappointing experience. I was hoping that this place really stood up to everything I had seen online from reviews and from Instagram. I walked through the door like an excited child in a sweet shop. To only be felt rushed by the bud tender who had about as much enthusiasm as a wet tissue. Asking what he would recommend to then have the menu pointed at. I already knew about the brownies which I ordered and enjoyed. The only thing that left a bitter taste in my mouth was the guy serving us, It was like every question was too much effort to answer. I had seen an Amsterdam Genetics hat online I wanted. I asked for one to be met with these are all we have. Nothing like try our other stores it was pretty embarrassing as I had bigged this place up to my two friends who were also not impressed. I won't rush back when I'm in Amsterdam to be made to feel like that again.

    A cannabis connoisseur's kind of coffee shop. The clean green joints have some of the longest gerricks I've encountered but the quality of the flower was impressive. Smooth and flavourful with a sweet buzz. Expect to pay some connoisseur prices for those fine features.

    They stole my sunglasses in there. They asked me to take them off before coming in so I took them off and went in. I must have left them by the counter when purchasing. I left and short on my way back I realized I didn’t have them with me. I went back and they told me I never came in with sunglasses. Of course because they were in my hands. They were Marc Jacobs sunglasses. The security and manager were super sketchy about it too. Sad experience for a first visitor. And last for sure.

    This is possibly the worst customer experience I have ever had. The ‘bouncer’ in front of the coffee shop shouted and behaved extremely aggressively to my friend and I. This is all because he asked me to take down my hoodie and I decided to instead stand outside on the street and wait for my friend . According to him my decision to stand outside instead was disrespectful to him. This is my neighbourhood coffee shop and I have never caused any trouble here, I did not feel I deserved to be humiliated for no reason.

    Me and my partner walked 25 minutes to go here specially, and it was 100% worth it! Unlike usual coffeeshops in Amsterdam this one is more like a dispensary/shop. The whole shop was clean, friendly and welcoming. The staff were very knowledgeable and were happy to help. However, the particular staff member we had kind of rushed us to buy a specific strain, which was a bit annoying but we werent disappointed as it was lovely stuff! We came here specifically for their famous edibles - incredible 10 out of 10! Highly recommend their edibles! Ive had edibles in Amsterdam before that didnt do anything, but the ones from boerejongens are wonderful! They took an hour to kick in, but I definitely preferred this to smoking. The taste is out of this world! Definitely worth the trip here. Try the edibles!

    Great shop! One of the best in Amsterdam. The staff is kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. They all speak Dutch and English of course. They have a good selection of both edibles and strains. The Red Velvet cake is amazing in its own right. 10/10 would recommend

    I visit store on the first day visit Ams to buy 5gram and pipe, everything went well. So i thought would come back to buy more pipes and filters to bring home. But the seller was extremely rude when i asked about paper filter, he shows metal one. He yelled "do you have eyes, can't you see it yourself?" When I asked him if it is possible to buy from the vending machine. Very rude and racist. Even though the stuff was good, not worth the experience of the service. 1st visist around 18pm 16.04, very nice seller 2nd visit around 10am 18.04, tall and thin young seller who yelled, rude and very racist

    If you’re a woman traveling alone maybe skip this place. The doorman is very touchy feely. He put his hand on my back a few times and at one point he grabbed my hand and “led me outside” to show me where the nearest ATM was. On the way outside he told one of the customers I was his new girlfriend and had both of his hands literally clasped onto mine. Obbbviously the comment was his attempt at a joke but it was overall a super uncomfortable experience. Someone should definitely tell him to keep his hands to himself and watch what he says to/about paying customers - definitely wasn’t about to go back there with € after that.

    This shop was one of the best but its been more than 6 months they are selling the ammesia joint with very less quantity compared with before and the price still the same !!!! I used to smoke it for the hole day and now it's just half day and it's done !!! This is not fair and once I complained to the staff they replied : this is what we have !

    Nice place. Friendly staff. Love the old school pharmacy style they have going with the epothicary draws and everything. Gave me helpful information also as a tourist about signage and legal areas to smoke outside of the city center and RDL areas. Also, had great prerolls!!

    The quality of the products are top notch, a great selection of hash if you are into that. Edibles are the best in the Netherlands for sure, you have to try the Red Velvet. The service is hit and miss, sometimes I go and bud tenders are really nice. Other times the person behind the counter couldn't really careless and is almost rude. I know what I want so I'm really quick but I imagine that it's not so nice if you have questions. They only do cash or Maestro so be prepared.

    No menus, staff just ask you what kind of smoke your into. Didn't feel welcomed when I walked through the door, guy looked at me like "yeah?" I'm like "menu?" He says "no menu tell me what you want" Which then led to the purchase of some lovely green magic which got me heavy boned. Staff member warmed up a little but still, maybe welcome some through the door with a "hey what's up what you looking for" instead of letting them stand there for 30 seconds and being like "yeah?"

    Quality is beyond expected, though the price and customer service could be better. Overall the best weed I've had so far. Super silver strawberry x blueberry haze mix made me leave this dimension, recommend trying it out outside of the city or in a relaxed place, avoid consumption inside a coffeeshop if at all possible. Remember to take off sunglasses and hats.

    Went today, the staff was extremely helpful and as soon as they realized I was an American they where very helpful and patient. They did not try to convince me to buy anything just because I was the tourist. They treated me no different than the regulars that walked it. I sat down head my coffee and was back off without pressure to hurry up and eat. I don’t have anything else to compare this with but I’ve been living long enough and traveled long enough to know what poor customer service feels like.

    Good weed, nice staff behind the counter although the most useless job in the world the man that stands at the door every hour of the day as a security guard has no manners and is extremely. Came back to look for something I lost and he start using gay slurs & demanding ID when I didn’t even want to buy anything again. White Romanian looking guy, didn’t think I’d get homophobic abuse when visiting this of all places in Amsterdam.

    Had high expectations of this place with the amount of recommendations this place gets. The staff feel stuck up and too forceful and try to rush you despite it not being busy. Really disliked how the menu is turned off until you get to the counter. You can't even navigate the menus as the budtender controls it and you can only see whichever menu you asked. The bud is average at best and for some reason, they only do cash.

    Very rude staff, not welcoming at all. No advice, just wanted to get rid of us. Left very quickly. Joint has a very poor structure, very weak at close to the roach. Probably worst coffeeshop I've visited.

    The man on the door was so rude. His demeanor, tone just everything! So by the time I got in the door I wanted to leave. I got a gram because it was late and I had just walked far to come to this specific coffeeshop. But that one encounter on the door before entering your shop just ruined it for me and stopped me buying anymore. I think the short man on the door really needs to get some people skills.

    This place comes highly recommended by any local you’ll speak to. Mind you at no point did anyone explain it was over an hours walk from central and from my visit a few years back there was no seating so we literally walked there to walk back. Staff were however extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

  • 1/5 Frank I. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Overall pretty rude staff. If you are purchasing multiple things its like pulling teeth. They just sigh and roll eyes. After all the hype to come here, the staff was supposed to be nice. No they were horrible. Another customer was complaining his preroll was like half empty, and the door guy not sure what his job is.

    Nice product but one of the door men is the rudest people in Amsterdam ; wouldn’t help me with the door I couldnt open even though I am clearly disabled, I knocked and he looked at me and said “you have two hands”. Had to wait for another customer entering to let me in. Does not make you want to support their business.

    I am divided with this place. On the one hand, It looks awesome, like a diamond bank, wood, cristal, golden lights, cordoned queues, very good looking. The staff in the counter are knowledgeable and friendly, the menu is good, although i missed some more american high end genetic options. On the other hand, there is an extremely rude and unpolite 'bouncer' on a suit with an earpiece in the door, who really ruined the experience for me and made the place feel really uninviting, adding to the feeling of going to the bank or something. The place was not crowded or anything, mind you, and he looked like a club gorilla. He interrogated me as to what i was doing there (like, dude, what do you think i'm here for?? lol) and asked me for an ID although i am well over 40 and it clearly shows. I saw an empty staying area inside, so i asked him if i could stay there and have a coffe or something and smoke. He rudely replied that it is for smoking 'pure only', and some other random conditions, giving the clear vibe that he really did not want me to stay there at all. The staying room was cristalled, locked, and absolutely empty so i kinda passed. He then pressed me into getting into the cordoned queue or get the hell out his face. At that point i was about to bid farewell to his entitled unpolite face and leave, but the interior really piqued my attention so i endured and proceeded to get in the queue. And then, as the final delightful interaction with this really annoying person, he stopped me again and demanded i take my hat off, like i was going inside some kind of temple or something. I contained myself again, complied, and made my way to the counter. Got some of the top stuff they had, Kosher Tangie Haze, which as i said was pretty good, and got the hell out of there. So, to sum up, great looking place and good menu, although maybe missing some more high end choices. The staff inside is friendly and knowledgeable. But the bouncer is really insufferable. It is not really neccessary in a place like that, gives a really bad impression to customers with his attitude, and also makes you unconfortable to stay inside.

    Check all your scales. Every time I buy weed it's under weight. Unacceptable

    Space cake (or call it Brownie) is delicious and packs a punch. 'Amnesia Haze Pure' is a must try! Quality ingredients and a fair price.

    I visited Amsterdam for the first time and my friend recommended me this place. Interior is nice and tidy, don’t be scared of people outside, they are there for your safety! The product I bought was nice, the effect was as I expect really good, but the taste wasn’t so pleasant, but it’s totally normal for this kind of product. Overall solid 5/5, will visit again!

  • 5/5 Robert R. 11 months ago on Google
    Boerejongens is the preeminent coffee shop in Amsterdam (I have sampled product at 58+ different coffeeshops). Visited initially in 2019, again in 2020, and the past 2 days. Highest quality of hash and at reasonable prices. Hashtenders are informative, sincere, and friendly. The edibles are amazingly delicious and visually appealing....they are sneaky strong, and novices should tread lightly by eating a 1/4 or 1/3 .

  • 5/5 KuKoRuso 2 years ago on Google
    There's an employee called Markus who attended me extremely well, great person, knew what to recommend me and did his job superbly. As well as for Youseff, both gave me the sensation of feeling at home. 10/10

  • 5/5 Luke S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good selection of weed and hash, the blue choco smoked super clean, customer service was great (bud tender gave me his lighter as I was short 50cent for one) 👍

    Was denied access because I was with a bike. Was only going to buy and leave straight away. I guess your staff doesn’t want to do business - shame

  • 1/5 Fabio P. 11 months ago on Google
    Looks like a pharmacy, smoking not allowed ok weed is good but not a funny place at all, everyone too serious to be a place where to enjoy, budtender looks angry and never smile

  • 5/5 Hakim C. 1 year ago on Google
    Basically one of the best places in Amsterdam for their purpose. Good quality from Amsterdam Genetics seeds

  • 5/5 FARNE 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place with amazing prerolls and wonderful staff including the door man. One guy also speaks a little bit of Italian! And the prices are super onest ;)

  • 4/5 Sai K. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite possibly the best coffeeshop in Amsterdam in terms of quality to price ratio. If you are looking to hang out and smoke there itself, I wouldn't suggest this place as it is very generic and corporatish.

  • 5/5 Fábio I. 1 year ago on Google
    I really recommend. Really nice staff, very friendly and very good communication. If you come to Amsterdam please give it a try if you looking outside centrum. Very good
