    About Coffeeshop West

    New Amsterdam-West coffeeshop on Balboastraat, open 09:00–00:00 daily; Amsterdam Genetics family, accepts cash, Maestro, Mastercard and Visa.

    Coffeeshop West is a recently opened shop on the Balboastraat in Amsterdam-West, near the De Baarsjes neighbourhood. A reviewer in spring 2026 described it as just opened. Its website says it is open daily from 09:00 to midnight, calls itself a proud member of the Amsterdam Genetics family, and answers the questions visitors usually have.

    • ID: sales only to people 18 and over; valid ID is required on every visit.
    • Payment: cash, Maestro, Mastercard and Visa.
    • Holiday hours: listed on its contact page.

    Google shows 4.7 stars from 92 reviews (September 2026), so the track record is short. Early reviews describe an organised, clean shop with a large choice of strains, knowledgeable budtenders and hash that is good value at the lower end and satisfying at the top end. The shop replies to most reviews.

    Two critical reviews focus on product. One says a G13 Haze burned badly and a flower sold as Californian was not convincing; another found many buds looked and smelled similar and one burned with black ash. A September 2026 reviewer calls the style subtle and clinical. Sales follow the national tolerance limits, with no residents rule in Amsterdam.
