Coffeeshop Willie Wortel's Sativa
Rotterdam's most iconic coffeeshop, running strong since 1984. A spacious two-floor venue near Blaak station with an encyclopedic menu of 30+ strains, pre-rolls, hash, and space cakes. The budtenders here have decades of collective experience and will spend real time helping you navigate the menu. A Rotterdam institution that proves the city's cannabis scene is more than Amsterdam's shadow.
Culture Boat Utrecht
Utrecht's most unique coffeeshop — a converted boat on the Oudegracht canal. Smoke on the water while watching the medieval city drift by. The concept is perfectly Utrecht: historic, alternative, and slightly magical. The cannabis menu is solid and the setting is unbeatable. Summer afternoons on the top deck are the stuff of Dutch cannabis legend.
€€
De Stichting
Rotterdam's premiere all-organic coffeeshop. De Stichting sources exclusively biological cannabis — no pesticides, no synthetic nutrients, just clean, sun-grown flower. The staff are passionate educators who'll explain exactly what each product does and how it's grown. In a market where quality can be inconsistent, De Stichting is a reliable beacon for health-conscious cannabis consumers.
€€
Cremers
A beloved coffeeshop in the heart of The Hague, steps from the Binnenhof — the Dutch parliament. Cremers has the feel of a classic brown café but with a full cannabis menu. The irony of government workers, diplomats, and Leiden University students all sharing a smoke near the seat of government is peak Dutch tolerance policy. Premium hash selection is the speciality.
