Agreed - Grey Area is the smallest, smelliest coffee shoppe, but it is the friendliest, and has THE BEST weed in A'dam - even perhaps all of Netherlands. The place is run by a couple of expat Americans - very nice guys. If you only buy weed once in Amsterdam, it should be here.
I agree - There is a market to be served here. I am surprised some enterprising dutchman has not figured this out yet. The vast majority of coffee shoppes are dingy and scummy. Some newer ones (Particularly in the Haarlemmerstraat area) are a little more "upscale". Barney's Cafe, and The Greenhouse stand out. Those too though, are still note quite "exclusive" enough.
almost all of them are awesome. it's been ten years since i've been to amsterdam. it's time to go back before the city shut them down. thankfully i live in Yongesterdam. we have cananbis cafes in Toronto. bring your own. but whatever.

dolphins + mushrooms = bad choice. trying to find the door to the toilet on that wall is hard at the best of times.

I'm afraid the crime rate isn't so high, by the way. If you don't count bike thefts.

The list is a JOKE without the Gray Area. #1 shop in Amsterdam.
