About Katsu Coffeeshop
Relaxed De Pijp coffeeshop near the Albert Cuyp market, with 4,400+ Google reviews averaging 4.6; pure and tobacco prerolls and a local crowd.
Katsu is a coffeeshop in De Pijp, on Eerste van der Helststraat close to the Sarphatipark and the Albert Cuyp market. The company behind the website is Galerie Katsu B.V., and the shop describes itself as open and relaxed, with varied music and a mixed crowd of all ages over 18.
It is one of the best-reviewed shops outside the old centre: 4.6 stars from 4,428 Google reviews in September 2026. Reviewers keep returning to the same points. Staff talk customers through the menu and suggest strains, prerolls come both with tobacco and pure, and prices are reasonable, with one reviewer noting a €5 tobacco joint. Stroopwafels and coffee are sold alongside. Several visitors describe it as a local spot they would rather not see turn into a tourist trap.
- Rules: Amsterdam tolerance policy: 18+ with ID, up to 5 grams per person, tourists served.
- Hours: not published on the website or shown on the Google listing when checked; call ahead on +31 20 675 2617.
The warnings in reviews are about strength. One reviewer says they underestimated the product and passed out, and that staff looked after them until they recovered. Newcomers should start small. Negative reviews are few and mostly unexplained one-star ratings.
