This is a very pleasant Coffeeshop on the Herengracht with outdoor seating. It’s one of the few places in town that specializes in organically grown weed. I enjoyed the comfortable interior with nice cushions and pillows, hand painted tables by Zoe, and mellow music that set the mood.
Update: I visited the Amnesia again for one of their Vaporizer Parties. It was packed full of happy people toking up the clean vapors from two vaporizers kept going thanks to the Amnesia and the hard-working, knowledgeable folks from the Cannabis College.

The party was livened up by a guy outside playing the saw. Yes, the saw. It sounded real eerie, like a theramin or a sci-fi soundtrack. Inside a DJ was spinning mellow house music while a very good trumpet player was layin’ down some Miles Davis’ riffs which really made that house music fly with the jazz adding the needed melody.
Amnesia was also featuring it’s new fountain style drinks, the EXACT same kind we used to get back in the ol’ soda fountain daze in New York. We’re talkin’ da kine milkshakes, ice cream sodas, vanilla cokes, lime rickeys, malteds (I couldn’t resist a chocolate malt that took me waaay back), and most unusual for Amsterdam, the famous NYC egg cream!

What more could you want for the raving munchies, but a cool fountain drink to set it right. The fountain drinks alone will make me a regular there.
Smokewise the Amnesia has a good selection of organically grown pot including Bio Sage and Amnesia Haze. But the most impressive smoke I tried there was the King Hassan Supreme hashish (fresh, with an incredibly good taste), at 11 Euros a gram and their Ice-o-lator hash (18 Euros a gram – the most expensive smoke in the house). Skip the Manali (tastes like crap).
So sit back, have a great drink, a good smoke, and dig the music at the Amnesia!

Amnesia Rocks, Willy, Chris, Grasshopper, Sissy, and the rest are some of the nicest folks I’ve met anywhere on the planet. I spent alot of my 15 days in Der Dam there and loved every minute of it, their Shiva was some of the best smoke I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait till I can get back there and hang with my pals at Amnesia….You guys rock.
the best time ever
GREAT FOR A SUNDAY MORNING! LOVELY LADY SERVING AND WONDERFUL FOR 30+ CLIENTLE. IT FELT REALLY DUTCH AND AUTHENTIC WOULD DEFINATLY RATE AS A MORE COMFORTABLE COFFEE SHOP AND WOULD DEFINATLY RETURN!
Under my opinion , amnesia is the best coffeshop in Amsterdam. I was in this coffe smoking some joints when the World Trade Center fall down.
cool place
Just got back from 4 days in Amsterdam in September and I have to say that Amnesia was definately my favourite coffee shop by far, the staff were friendly and helpful, excellent decor and wicked chilled music. great weed (we had the white widdow..excellent) and absoloutely amazing milkshakes!!!!
Will definately return here on my next visit!
My family
Went here in May04 thanks to all the channelites.. I,m not a fan of the taste of sativas told the dealer that show he showed every type of weed he had and pointed me (Huge Thanx!!!) in the direction of the Stella Blue @ €10 a gram but well worth it..B..
i cant say nothing i was in amsterdam for 10 days
and it was the best coffeshop far away from the others. just the best from all the views
thanks mr. korrect for all your kind help and making our stay in amsterdam a memorable one!
—your american friends on monday afternoon
absolutly the best coffeeshop I found in amsterdam, the place is beautiful right on the Herengracht, the ambiance was spot on, comfortable, I was there by myself from New York, and the fact that everyone chose to speak english to each other was a big plus for me. The selection of smoke and knowledge of the countermen was great, I know my shit and these guys are true connisuers. This is the type of place that all the coffeeshops should model themselves after. Once I found it I almost didn’t want to go anywhere else. Returned 5 times in 3 days. Oh, and for those inclined there is a mini red light district on its side street. Can’t wait to go back to visit this one again. Great drinks, ice-cream too. Seek this place out when you get there.
in my opinion the best coffe-shop in Amsterdam
Really chilled atmosphere, great music and incredibly friendly people
This is one of the best shops in Amsterdam if you are looking for a quiet hangout and connoisseur level cannabis.
Both managers are extremely knowledgeable about hash and weed quality and look after the safety and comfort of their customers.
I was impressed by their level of knowledge about what was good intown and that they were not greedy about pushing sales. The quality must sell itself.
They seperate the indicas from the sativas. Very nice for determining what kinda high the customer desires.
Friendly staff.
great place free from artificial additives
it was the best place i found in ten days of hard searching, the bud was great and so was the service. definitly should go if you get a chance
amnesia was without a doubt one of my favourite coffee shops of last year. i will definitely be going back this year. maybe this time i’ll remember more of it tho…or maybe not 😉
Wish this was my local.
The best in amsterdam without doubt.
