Taking Advantage of tourists, all while being extreme rude to everyone. DO NOT GO HERE!!

    Loved our experience at Barraka Coffeeshop. The owner is an amazing lady. Positive vibes & music are the highlights of the place. Will surely visit this place again.

    Te worst coffee shop in Amsterdam. The owner was a really impolite. I do not recommend coming here for any reason. You have a lot of options for smoking without problems in this city, so, avoid Barraka.

    A nice older gentleman greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. I had high hopes and good vibes. Unfortunately, we had Such a terrible experience here. Our group went in to find if there was room (6 of us) and we were about to go down from the lounge and purchase after settling and arriving moments ago. The female staff member did not take kindly to us from the start (not even a group of Americans). She rudely told us that we had to buy something, of which I immediately smiled and obliged and she still had an awful attitude. A few of us made purchases. About 15 minutes later, she returned to kick us out for absolutely no reason, because we “weren’t buying anything and would we behave this way in our own country?”. She said we were preventing them from making money. She said there were other groups waiting for our spots because we were “taking up all the space”. Offput and very confused, we kindly complied and left… and there were definitely no groups waiting for our spot…. Literally no one. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I’d never had someone behave so ugly. Overall, just a very negative experience which has never happened to me in Amsterdam before now. I hope the owner knows that this employee will lose them money, and she absolutely did. For being in a very touristy area, you’re going to need tolerant and polite employees and we are completely reasonable people…. Prices were reasonable I thought, but when you have so many great options In the area, think twice about going here if you don’t want to be treated poorly. I recommend purchasing & leaving if you associate with the business at all. I will not be returning and will strongly discourage any others from visiting. Edit: I see now there are many reviews about a rude and unwelcoming female employee here, and that hasn’t changed as of this review. Wanted to mention that the music was upbeat and enjoyable for those curious.

    Awful, so rude and aggressive. Actually a little scary, I’ve been living here for years and never had such a negative experience. Please avoid for you safety.

    I would never go there again. If you take a photo for review, the rude owner will kick you out and humiliate you publicly. And the coffee was just so so. Not worth the price and horrible experience. Stay away.

    Don’t go to this shop, this is scam. I ask only for pre rolled pure, and they give me a pre rollet with 99% tobacco. No kidding this is just tobacco.

    My friends and I went into the shop and the lady just looked at us and said ‘you no’ and to the people behind us ‘you yes’. Really rude and this ruined it for us. She waved us out and that was it.

    The owner was really nice, a bit quiet but he was just vibing out to the tunes, the flower, was labelled under a mud/strong and it was a haze which usually gives me a bad head but this was was very very nice, there was a cat that came and sat with us, in all was very nice and chill

    This is my most favourite place to be in the world! An absolute gem in the centre of Dam, great atmosphere that is filled with intention and love. The owner was super friendly and attended to us at every given moment. I found myself constantly wanting to be there to soak up the rich culture and soul soothing reggae, all encapsulated in one space. I've officially made it my getaway spot and will be returning at least twice a year. Thank you Hans for making us feel at home!

    More work on customer service. Kinda rude kicking out paying customers because you woke upon the wrong side of the bed or whatever. To clarify, the one star is for the cat. If I could rate this place zero stars, I would have done it in the first place.

    Favourite coffeeshop from my trip!! Super friendly staff and very knowledgeable about their menu and products. Good music, good vibes, very spacious and a coffee shop that isn't bursting with rowdy groups. Flower was incredible from low priced to premium bud was all really good from this shop couldn't recommend more (Thanks for the umbrella!)

    extremely rude store owner…. barraka more like brakka 🤨🤨🤨🤨 we wanted to get a drink and smoke there but she told us if we wanted to get a drink, we should go to the McDonalds nextdoor.. do not recommend!

  • 1/5 Kiara D. 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    I wish i could give cero stars, this was an awful experience, we went in to get a drink and smoke a joint we already had from before, when i went to the counter to get drinks, the woman told me “baby this is a coffeeshop here you come to smoke and get high, if you just wanna drink you have a mcdonalds down the street” i told her okay no problem and she just looked at us till we left the place. If you want to get a drink and smoke in a nice place please avoid this one. There are so many nice establishments with very nice people. Horrible.

    A message to all you people who scored this coffee shop as one star. The lady who owns the place is very friendly and polite. I can't thank Simone enough she was really helpful and we can't wait to visit Barraka again. Thanks again. Love from John & Louise x

    They have a cat.. and the baraka special weed is a must

  • 1/5 Random N. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner told us that he will not serve us because we were not sure what we wanted to drink and we were choosing the drinks for too long and that he couldn’t care, there was no one in the line behind us as well. We didn’t do or say anything inappropriate, we just took a bit longer to order. Absolutely bad experience, don’t go here, there are plenty of other coffees nearby where they appreciate clients.

    Small coffee shop with a decent selection of things to try. Worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Stuart W. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice little quiet coffee shop with probably the best coffee. Place was nice and staff were friendly. Certainly the place for the more mature smoker as opposed to young people in groups.

    If you are a lover of good things, do not hesitate to come, it is a mandatory stop, quality, very good price, kindness and the site where you will find what you are looking for...

    Bought a pre-rolled joint but it smelled terrible. After tearing it open there was no weed inside (we found 1 crumb) only dried out tobacco.

👍👍 Read up on a lot of coffee shops and decided on this place. We really enjoyed it. We got the pre rolled hashish which was perfect for us. Mellow and relaxing.
