Easy Times

Ive never went to one of these coffee shops before so I can’t compare my experience to others but I did have a pretty cool experience here. I got a rolled blunt at a decent price and was able to relax in the back with my joint and hot chocolate. The place wasn’t crowded and they had a banging classic R&B playlist on.

Perfect atmosphere, great service, a real locals place. There is plenty of cozy seating for everyone, good music, fast service, and attentive workers who tidy the place all day long. Some coffeeshops have long waits, slow service, and are pretty messy inside. After 2 weeks in the city, this was by far our favorite coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Try the fresh mint tea, it’s so good. Easy Times is a must see when you’re in Amsterdam.

This was my go-​to shop in Amsterdam. It was a one minute walk from our hotel and recommended by the front desk. The people here were very nice and the quality of the goods was amazing. Brownies tasted so good and very potent for me. I ate ²⁄₃ and my girl ate ¹⁄₃ — we were blasted for hours. For me the The Bulldog is legendary but I was told to stick with the smaller shops. The coffee/​espresso is great as well.

Want to smoke? This is a great place to go. Relatively easy to find, easy times is a dim coffee shop with an easy ordering system. The waitresses speak pretty good English. You can order a pre roll or pay up to $ 15 for a gram. If you don’t want to use their free rolling papers you can buy a pipe (about $ 10) the waitress was nice enough to let me borrow one. The seating area can get crowded but you can eventually get a seat. The décor is Arabian nights-​ish. Curtains and low seating. It’s a very chill environment to smoke in. People are all just smoking and relaxing. They have «Space cakes» available if you want edibles.

It is a very cool place, we had a great time there. The staff was super friendly and willing to give you advise if you’re not familiar with how coffeeshops work. It’s not in the centre of Amsterdam itself, but it’s not very far either, only 2 minutes walk from the Prinsengracht tram stop. They have free wifi, and the hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. The perfect place to chill out (especially when it’s freezing outside)

Space cake. 10 euro. Split with my companion, glad that I did. Made it to the Van Gogh just to get the giggles. Lovely day.
Definitely the best edible I had the entire trip.

Spent a weekend in Amsterdam and was pointed towards Easy Times by an employee at a nearby hat shop.
The prices were fair — unlike many other coffee shops that take advantage of unknowing tourists.
Easy Times has a comfortable lounge in the back, with plush seats, some drapes, and cool mood lighting. If you sit in this area, you are expected to purchase a beverage. I recommend the hot chocolate because its comforting and warm on a rainy day.
They also have a Volcano that patrons can use. The staff is helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They will roll joints for you (with the weed you just purchased) if they are not busy and you ask nicely — which I really liked because I found that some of the pre-​rolled joints from other locations usually contained tobacco, even when I asked for pure.
Highly recommended. The atmosphere is super chill and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit if you get the chance to frequent this beautiful city!

Tons of indoor seating. Some outdoor seating.
Cool mood lighting. TVs in case you want to watch the game.
Nice staff. You have to buy drinks at least, but nothing else is obligatory.

I went to a «coffee shop» in Amsterdam! They have wifi there too (hence the check-​in). We tried a brownie and had a spliff, or whatever you call it.
To be honest. I just cannot inhale so I can’t tell you how the weed is. The brownie was yummy though I didn’t eat enough of it for an effect. Yes, I’m a poser whaddeva.
I’m not a weed person but I tried this out just to say I did it! Mission accomplished I guess.
The music here is loud and makes you want to dance and the crowd is trendy. The venue is also very clean and has nice lighting. Check it out! This place isn’t dingy like the other coffee shops we walked by and I didn’t even notice any tourists.

Fresh from my first trip to Amsterdam. We checked out six coffeeshops in the area, and Easy Times gets my vote for best all-​around experience.
It’s not fancy, which is perfect for me. Very chill atmosphere. Great soundtrack. The salespeople were respectful and consistently sold us a little over a gram. The spacecake is like sponge cake and very effective. Nice beverage selection.
Only complaint: I’d prefer the back room if it were just a little better ventilated and less stale.
Definitely going to return. Thanks for the memories, Easy Times.

Non-​touristy relaxed shop. Very friendly counter staff.
I hate weed. There, I said it. I hate weed.
But I also believe in partaking in the various aspects of a city’s notorious exploits and since I was in high school the last time I graced Amsterdam’s streets, I had to make up for that missed opportunity.
Enter Coffeeshop Easy Times which I found on Unilocal.
Walked in, checked out the menu and knew my options were limited as I don’t know how to roll so I had to go with pre-​rolled. Bought the joint, and went to sit down and realized I have nothing to light the joint with (genius, I know). Back to the counter looking like an idiot and the guy gives me a lighter. Back to the couch and I realize all the tables have candles on them…
Anyhoo, really cool chill space with good music. I bought a space cake when I left which came in handy when my mother dragged me to a 2 hour classical music concert at the Concertgebouw… Have never scarfed something down so fast in a bathroom in my life.

I love this coffeeshop… it is off main touristy streets, right on the water, and obviously visited by locals on regular basis.
It was truly enjoyable to sit on the banks of the canal and chill like you would in Paris.
Also Easy Times gave me the pleasure watching England getting its ass kicked by ze Germans during the FIFA World cup last year… and listening to Tiesto.

My favorite «coffeshop» in Amsterdam.
Although, there’s not a lot of coffee drinking going on in any coffeeshop in Amsterdam, I will say that Easy Times was the most enjoyable. It’s one of the larger shops. The front room has stools and tables. The back is more chill, with a harem-​like feel. You can sit back, relax, have a cappuccino, have other things… ;)
The dude who runs this place is super cool. He’s sharp, intelligent and he will tell you some stories. He even let us put our iPod in the music system. He played Floyd for us.
Oh, and the toilet seat in the ladies room is super cool too!
Take it easy at Easy Times…
