    About Maximillian Coffeeshop

    Haarlem coffeeshop with café on Gedempte Oude Gracht, open 09:00–00:00 (Sun from 10:00); a second branch in town, electronic payment accepted.

    Maximillian is a Haarlem coffeeshop with two locations. Its website calls the Gedempte Oude Gracht 123 shop the main location, with a café, and describes a smaller second shop in the city. Google lists the main shop open 09:00 to midnight Monday to Saturday and from 10:00 on Sunday.

    Reviewers present it as a beginner-friendly place. Several describe staff walking newcomers through the menu, and one experienced visitor calls the price-to-quality ratio the best in the Netherlands. Electronic payment is accepted, according to a reviewer. The café side offers tea, board games and, for one visitor, a sour lemon mochi that stood out. Seasonal gift packs for regulars are mentioned too.

    • Rules: Dutch tolerance policy: 18+ with ID and up to 5 grams. Haarlem is not in the controlled-supply experiment.
    • Rating: 4.7 from 292 Google reviews (September 2026).

    The site carries a responsible-use note about reduced driving ability after use. Criticism in reviews is rare; one 2026 reviewer found a new staff member unpleasant and the house Max Haze inconsistent. For visitors arriving by train, the Gedempte Oude Gracht is a short walk south of Haarlem station through the old centre.
