Tweede Kamer Coffeeshop

Tweede Kamer is a small coffeeshop in the Heisteeg, a narrow alley between the Spui and the Singel. The name borrows from the Dutch lower house of parliament, and the shop's own website describes it as something that began as a plan between two friends and grew into a fixture of Amsterdam coffeeshop culture. It says it is open 365 days a year; Google lists 08:00 to 00:45 daily.

This is a place to buy rather than to settle in. Reviewers repeatedly note that there is almost nowhere to sit, one small bench at most, so most customers take their purchase elsewhere. Sales follow the Dutch tolerance rules: adults 18+ with ID, a maximum of 5 grams per person, and no residents-only rule in Amsterdam, so foreign visitors are served.

• Known for: a wide menu of flower and hash, edibles such as space cake and brownies, and an old-fashioned, wood-panelled look.
• Good to know: a 2026 reviewer who expected a café was disappointed to find no food and was asked to move on after lingering.

With 1,176 Google reviews averaging 4.5 in September 2026, the feedback is broadly warm: long-time regulars call it their go-to shop, and recent reviewers praise friendly first-time guidance and fair prices. Criticism centres on a few interactions at the counter, including one reviewer who says he was lectured about language after greeting staff in English. Edible buyers are reminded by other customers to follow the dosage warnings on the packaging.
