Why Coffeeshop Relax is (arguably ;) the best coffeeshop in Amsterdam

Sometimes you have those nights you'll never forget. For us, it was the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards . We knew we were in contention for an award... But that we'd win six? We never could have imagined it.

But what truly makes a coffeeshop the best? We believe it's a combination of quality, atmosphere, and recognition from connoisseurs. In this blog post, you'll read why we're not afraid to say we're incredibly competitive, aiming to win the title of best coffeeshop in Amsterdam.

The big winner at the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards

In November, it finally happened: the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards. An annual event where a panel of experts (and consumers) vote for the city's best products and shops.

We went home with not one, not two, but six (!) awards:

  • First place best sativa – S5 Amnesia Haze

  • Second place best sativa – G13 Haze

  • First place best cbd weed – Gorilla Glue CBD

  • Second place best hash – Zero Zero

  • Third place best hash – Beldia

  • Third place best edible – Oats and Raisins Cookie

Pre-rolled joints: the crowd favorites

In addition to our award-winning individual products, our pre-rolled joints are incredibly popular.

  • Amnesia Haze joint: A favorite among cannabis joints, beloved for its fresh flavor and powerful effect. This pre-rolled strain not only scores well in our shops but also won the sativa category at the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards.

  • Lemon Haze Block joint: The bestseller among hash joints. Potent, flavorful, and always good.

  • Other hash joints: Each one is a firm favorite with our regular customers. Many shops in Amsterdam are selling less and less hash. We at Relax Amsterdam disagree: the old-school hash varieties have always remained our top priority.

What makes a coffee shop really good?

A beautiful interior or a long menu don't tell the whole story. What do we think matters most?

  • Consistency: You get the same thing today as you did last week. Same quality, same effect.
  • Transparency: At Coffeeshop Relax you know exactly what you are buying, what is in it and what it does to you.
  • Knowledge: Our staff knows what they're talking about. You'll receive honest advice based on what suits you best.
  • Atmosphere: Not a tourist circus, but a relaxed place where everyone feels welcome.

Why Coffeeshop Relax is recommended by locals

Ask an Amsterdammer about the best coffeeshop, and you're likely to hear Coffeeshop Relax. It's no wonder many of our regulars have been coming here for years.

Locals appreciate us for our consistent quality, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere where you immediately feel at home.

Add to that our award-winning weed, hash, and edibles, plus two convenient locations in the city, and you'll understand why we're a favorite among Amsterdammers.
