Nijmegen, Gelderland CoffeeshopAbout Coffeeshop Kronkel
Nijmegen coffeeshop since 1986 with bar, kitchen and roof terrace; sells regulated trial cannabis. Shop open 09:00–01:00.
Coffeeshop Kronkel has been a fixture in central Nijmegen since 1986. It sits at Vlaamsegas 30 in the Molenpoort shopping center and combines the shop with a bar and a kitchen: the shop is open from 09:00 to 01:00, the bar from 11:00 and the kitchen from 12:00 to 22:00. Reviewers single out the roof terrace, smoothies, milkshakes and pool tables, and the shop also hosts music events.
Nijmegen is one of the ten municipalities in the Dutch controlled-supply experiment, and all coffeeshops there must take part. Since 7 April 2025 Kronkel may therefore sell only cannabis from the government-designated growers, packed in sealed, neutral packaging and tracked from grower to counter. The standard limits remain: customers must be 18 or older with ID and may buy no more than 5 grams per purchase.
The switch to regulated supply shows up in reviews. A German visitor in 2025 disliked the pre-packed regulated flower and called it bland, and the shop replied that it had also had to adjust but that most customers are happy with the taste and range. Other reviewers still rate the quality well, and the cookies and space cakes are repeatedly described as strong.
On Google, Kronkel averaged 4.6 stars from about 1,700 reviews in September 2026. For people looking for a coffeeshop in Nijmegen with food and a terrace, most recent reviews are positive about the atmosphere, fair prices and friendly, knowledgeable staff; the complaints concern slow food service in the past and, in a January 2026 review, staff behavior.
