o well ill just have find my way to other shop

They wont be shut all through the summer as they'd lose way too many €'s, like Kermit said go to Barneys Lounge instead it's a nice little coffeeshop in a lovely location.

Barneys is too effin expensive. 17euro a Gram for the Utopia Haze, I remember that - but didnt care then.
Now I feel sick to my stomach, that's only 2 joints for 17euro - that's like £17 almost, call it £15 at best and I still feel a mug.
Add to this the cost of flights, hotels and spending money - and you think -
F the bastrads - theyre too effin expensive.
I'm real sorry for the outrage but, understand this! - I MUST HAVE MUG WRITTEN ALL OVER MY FOREHEAD.
I actually voted that I like barneys... I would like to retract my vote! they're profiting way too high for me to feel comfy with my budget!
Effem!

15 quid for a gram of weed is OTT,Also 20 euros for a fried breakfast is sheer greed if you ask me.

it´s really overpriced! 17€ for one g Utopia UFF (before 2 months it costs 15€ at the new seedbank/coffeeshop. The Highest price for Weed I would buy is 15€... ok maybe I will give more if it´s the best Weed I ever seen but... it´s so unbeliveable expansive.
In some other towns in NL you get first Quality Hazes like SSH, Amnesia ... for only 10€/g. Barney is a real tourist Shop but has sometimes really great quality.
But if I´am in adam I don´t look at my money because I´am in holidays but normally thats a rip off!
to much greed

In light of current exchange rates and the state of the UK's economical downturn(s) - I'd say there should at least 10X more british members complaining on this thread! This is a disgrace!
Thank you Sir Niall of Essex-sire - I empathize with your view!

The thing that sucks is that Barneys used to be good, now they sold out. They could go back to the old ways, but theres less money in it for them. I cant see why they just dont rename themselves corrupt captialist cannabis cafe.

Yes Sir Niall of Essex-sire,
Barney's Farm - Red Diesel (feminised 5 pack from LSS @ £40ish)
Week 2 Flower right now - will post some pics when I get the oppo!
Did smoke this from Barneys and was quite impressed, if anything - the Red Diesel is similiar to the NYC Diesel but tastier, more pungent and with (dare I say) hashy tones!
Hope this helps!

Coffee shops are businesses and the purpose of a business is to make a profit. As long as their gear keeps selling for these high prices they will continue selling it at the high prices. Look at Dutch history. They are the ultimate capitalists. The best way to get them to lower their prices is to take your business elsewhere. Consumer information from places like the ACD should have that effect. If we keep buying the latest Super-Duper Haze for 17 E/gr they will keep selling it to us. As some old Latin guy said "buyer beware!"
Complain but don't buy.

Yup.

I just don't go in 'cuz I'm claustrophobic and it's always crowded.
