About Coffeeshop Haarlem / The Lounge

Haarlem coffeeshop on Doelstraat with a large seating lounge, open from 10:00 until 00:30–01:00; 5-gram specials and Amsterdam Genetics edibles.

Coffeeshop Haarlem, also called The Lounge, is on the Doelstraat in Haarlem's centre, a few minutes from the Grote Markt. Google lists opening at 10:00 every day, closing at 00:30 from Sunday to Wednesday and at 01:00 from Thursday to Saturday. Its website highlights edibles from Amsterdam Genetics.

Reviewers describe a clean, well-lit shop with a large, comfortable seating area, which sets it apart from several takeaway-only shops in Haarlem. The menu is broad, and 5-gram specials come up, which suits regulars given the national 5-gram cap per sale. Named staff members are praised for being friendly and well organised. Gold-cap flower gets a mention in a recent review.

Rules: tolerance policy: 18+ with ID, maximum 5 grams. Haarlem is outside the controlled-supply experiment.
Rating: 4.6 from 307 Google reviews (September 2026).

The one detailed negative review, from late 2025, describes a staff member who refused to serve a customer after an argument about parking outside. Recent reviewers are consistently positive and several rank it first among Haarlem shops. The website itself carries little beyond the menu teaser, so confirm hours on Google before a late visit.
