Decent shop just off the main street not far from the station with a few tables outside, now has a darker theme and Darth Vadar outside Friendly service and decent prices (standard for Haarlem), the Mac 1 (€10/g) was nothing more than ok, unfortunately didn't get to try anything else but would return.

Really like this shop... Perfect on a warm day, with its outdoor seating and open front. It's still pretty old school, as far as decor is concerned, but the menu is similar to the more modern CS; with US strains and concentrates starting to take up a reason portion of the wares... Still, Amnesia, G13,.WW,.etc, all still available, and under or around €10...

...currently, I'm smoking through a gram of Taro Gelato (€18pg), and I must say, it's a very nice, tasty little bud... Nicest of the trip so far... 8.5/10

*edit: G13(€10pg) Smells lovely, tastes ok... Still, I have absolutely no complaints as a W&B smoke... As with Haze, it tastes nothing like i remember G13 tasting, but it's a good deal, none the less... 7.5/10

*edit2: TenCo - Yellow Zushi(€35pg) smelt lovely, and was a decent evening smoke, but for the price, i was expecting something more unique... BT was adamant the the "Blue Zushi", was better, but nowhere stocked that right now... Disappointment and budget brings the score to 6.5/10, mostly out of spite.

*edit3: Amnesia(€9.50pg) Again, its not a stand-out smoke, but for the price point, its a fine morning toke, that ain't going to get you too wasted... Tastes ok, too... 7/10... I'd give it 6.5/10, but I want it to be higher than the Zushi.

*edit4: Dreams Gold(€12pg) Nice offering from a name that's was completely new to me on this trip, but I may be becoming a fan of... Very nice smoke, with flavor and a really nice chilled buzz... Tolerance might be getting a little high now, so take these reviews with a pinch of salt... 8/10

*edit5: Kosher Dreams(€12pg) Not quite up to the standard of the Dreams Gold in terms of flavour, but I think slightly superior in punch; another promising offering... 8/10

*edit6 London Dreams(12€pg) I only managed to grab the last remnants of this strain.... I'm also on morning 8 of a very hot week, only stopping smoking long enough to eat, shower and obviously, wander around aimlessly, taking photos of things I've probably taken hundreds of times before... With that said; 5/10.

Lovely little shop with some outdoor seating.
Extensive menu by Amsterdam standards never mind Haarlem!
Picked up some Black Cats Zangria Rosin at 40 for 0.5g

Met ACD crew there. Nice sized shop with an absolutely massive menú. Got bananaconda 5g for 44 euro. Nicely finished stuff.



Empire staff were really friendly and the hospitality was fantastic.

Excellent product, excellent staff. Haarlems top coffeeshop, a must visit when in NL.
