About Cannacenter Best Friends Oost

Best Friends 'Cannacenter' in the Indische Buurt, Amsterdam-Oost, open 07:00–01:00 daily; takeaway shop with pre-bagged 1 g portions.

Cannacenter Best Friends Oost is one of three Best Friends shops in Amsterdam, run by Best Friends BV. The company's website lists this branch at Niasstraat 1 in the Indische Buurt, open daily from 07:00 to 01:00, with sister shops on the Amstelveenseweg in Oud-Zuid and on Hettenheuvelweg in Zuidoost. The site also refers to the KCV quality mark for coffeeshops.

It is a takeaway shop. Reviewers note there is no seating to speak of and that flower is sold pre-bagged in 1-gram bags, which some like for speed and others dislike because they cannot see the buds. Prerolls get the most praise. Dutch tolerance rules apply: 18+ with ID and up to 5 grams per sale.

Rating: 4.4 from 478 Google reviews (September 2026).
Trend: recent reviews are split between long-time customers who say quality has fallen and others who give five stars without detail.

Several 2025–2026 reviewers describe a decline: joints that barely work, stems and wet buds in bags, and edibles with no effect. One says a staff member insulted him in Dutch. Others praise the prerolls and call it a solid neighbourhood option. Given the split, it is best treated as a quick local pickup rather than a destination.
