Grey Area Coffeeshop Amsterdam

Grey Area on Oude Leliestraat in the Jordaan is tiny — room for maybe 20 people — and run by an American expat who genuinely loves what he does. The strains here have won multiple Cannabis Cup awards and the budtenders know their stuff inside out. It fills up fast on weekends so go early or during the week. My top recommendation for quality over atmosphere. See our full coffeeshops guide.
