On a budget, skip A Coffeeshop Visit — the spend outweighs the payoff.
Varies; ~€10–15 typical
A genuinely only-here experience and harmless people-watching if approached with sense — but the fit call is concrete, not a PSA. Where you go decides everything: the grim, overpriced shops on the Damstraat tourist strip are loud, pushy, and joyless, while a calm neighbourhood place like the pharmacy-style Boerejongens (multiple local branches) or a quiet De Pijp spot is relaxed, knowledgeable, and where you'd actually want to sit. The real trap is edibles and modern strains, far stronger than tourists expect — the classic mistake that ends evenings in a clinic.
