Amsterdam Westerpark And Oud-west
Coffeeshops in these primarily residential neighborhoods tend to be few and far between; the following, however, is one of Amsterdam's standouts.
- De Supermarkt, Frederik Hendrikstraat 69 (☎068 322 68; www.coffeeshopdesupermarkt.nl), A breath of (figuratively) fresh air from the dark atmosphere that characterizes most Amsterdam coffeeshops, De Supermarkt is clean and bright, with the colorful work of local artists decorating the walls. The extremely helpful staff is happy to answer questions as you select items from their small but varied menu of weed and hash. Pure marijuana can be smoked in the main area, while a small smoking room is available for smokes mixed with tobacco.
The clientele tends toward the local and laid-back. Tram #13. Just north of the roundabout at the intersection with 2e Hugo de Grootstraat. Marijuana and hash from €4; pre-rolled joints €3.50. Open daily 11am-11pm. Does not take credit cards. Wheelchair access. Has internet.
