Breda, North Brabant CoffeeshopAbout Coffeeshop De Baron
Breda coffeeshop on Boschstraat since 1988, selling only regulated trial cannabis; residents of the Netherlands only. Open 11:00–22:00.
Coffeeshop De Baron has been trading at Boschstraat 127 in Breda since 1988 and is open every day from 11:00 to 22:00. It is one of the coffeeshops in the first Dutch city to test legal supply: Breda and Tilburg began the start-up phase of the national controlled-supply experiment on 15 December 2023, and the municipality says all Breda coffeeshops take part and sell only regulated cannabis.
Since the experiment phase began on 7 April 2025, shops like De Baron may stock and sell only cannabis grown by the government-designated growers. The products come in sealed, neutral packaging with a QR-code leaflet on risks, and every package is tracked from grower to counter. The phase is set to last four years, after which the government will decide what comes next.
Breda also restricts who can buy. Under the experiment rules, participating municipalities on the border with Belgium or Germany must admit only people who live in the Netherlands, and a 2019 report on the experiment's rules named Breda among them. Recent Google reviews match this: one reviewer complains that door staff asked for proof of address, and another describes a passport being refused while other documents were accepted. Visitors without Dutch residency should not expect to be served.
On Google, De Baron averaged 3.9 stars from 340 reviews in September 2026. Reviewers who get in describe great staff, good quality and a cozy, relaxed atmosphere; the lower ratings are mostly about the strict door checks.
