About this spot
Back to Black is the definitive coffee shop experience in Amsterdam's Oud-West, where you can expect thick, resinous hashish and a relaxed, smoke-filled atmosphere that feels like a local hangout. The menu highlights include potent strains like Purple Haze and Super Silver Haze, which are often smoked on-site or taken home for later use. It is the place to go if you want to see how Amsterdam's famous cannabis culture operates in a gritty, unpretentious setting.
💡 Tips before you go
- Bring your own lighter or matches as many shops do not provide them at the counter.
- Cash is king; expect to pay in Euros and have small bills ready for tipping the staff.
- Do not bring any food items into the shop, as they are strictly a cannabis-only establishment.
