Dutch Flowers

This place has been a favourite of the crawlers for quite some time. It is not one of the most trendy, super flashy shops around; it is toned down, laid back and authentic. Located on the beautiful canal Singel in the Jordaan area, this place is central without being noisy or hectic. Choosing a table by the window gives you the view of a gorgeous Amsterdam canal and bridge. With this as your backdrop, it is somehow extremely satisfying to sit and observe the people walking by on the pavement outside.

Sevilla Coffeeshop


Sevilla Coffeeshop lies on the Utrechtsestraat, in between Fredriksplein and Muntplein. From outside it looks a bit like those coffeeshops we used to go to when nothing else was open or nearby: cheap and a bit run down, usually with heaps of White Widow in stock with no Sativas on offer. Neon lights and a tacky Santa Claus welcome us as we step inside. Mirrors, a Star Wars pinball machine and high bar stools in the front room, as well as a bar with a cheerful Eastern European guy behind the counter.

Let's give it a shot

The crawlers are crawling, yeah! The coffeeshop bandits are online!

We are sitting here trying hello what's going on, Amnezia Haze at the moment.
It tastes good, and there is aspiration in the air.
