Homegrown Fantasy. Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 87A. This smallish shop is a delightful place with a great laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of a Paris cafe in some respects and, from the observed clientele, it is obviously a great favorite with the locals. This is a relatively quiet shop with a very mellow vibe, and may not suit those looking for loud music and a very lively atmosphere, but it is great for chilling out a while. I just love this place and cannot recommend it too highly.

The menu is totally organically grown grass for which they have an excellent reputation and many awards.

This shop also gets the top award for the strangest Coffee shop Toilet ! - be sure to visit it if possible- no charge! (incidentally, expect to pay 50 cents if you use a toilet at Central Station or in a Department store, Bar or Hotel - coffee shop ones - which vary wildly in quality !! - are usually free. )

Opening Hours: Sunday - Thurs: 9AM - Midnight, Fri & Sat: 9AM - 1AM

YES! -entrance with wheelchair IS possible!! - but shop is a bit narrow and the "famous" toilet is down a step.  

 

Cafe Tetra

Homegrown Fantasy`s new Bar & DJ Cafe (next door to the Coffeeshop. )

Opens 7 days a week. Mon - Thurs: 4PM -1AM, Fri & Sat: 4PM - 3AM

Has a huge bar and currently features cheap Beer at €1.50, Smoking is permitted but no Cannabis sales (available in the Coffeeshop which I think keeps much the same evening hours ) Has resident & visiting DJ`s playing a variety of styles nightly, if you are a DJ, you are encouraged to ask as to doing a Set. Available for small parties (40-60 people)

The interior is large with tables and chairs, Settees/Sofas & arm chairs.

(Suggest you check it out - this is like a club with a chill out room as a coffeeshop- except you dont have to pay a large entry fee - well cool arrangement !!)

See picture above.

 

Getting there from the Dam monument, cross the road onto a large cobbled area and head towards the road on your right a few yards away, this is Moses and Aaronstraat,cross it and follow it away from the Dam, turn right at the end into Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and walk up toward Central station, look out for the shop sign which is an eye, as can be seen from the photo above,there is no large over-door or window sign.
