Does anyone else agree that this has got to be one of the worst if not the worst coffeeshop in Amsterdam? They have sub-par product and their space is fucking low-rent with shitty seating and don't get me started on the staff! What a bunch of scumbags! This place is a classic example of a complete shithole cashing in on a prime location! Being on Oude Hoogstraat, right next to the square and the RLD, it's easy to find yourself saying "Hey, let's check this place out!", however once inside you'll quickly see how much it sucks!

WHAT?!?!?!?

Maneken Pis? your from Belgium?


humm.. just because you went in once, the dealer talked you into buying his stuff, and your body was probably in a special state that made you feel higher than if you had smoked any weed at any other time, you think this shop is amazing?

well I'll tell you when I went it was pretty shit:
-as a rule, the seats are gay
-I wasn't sure at all so I asked the dealer to see a few kinds of weeds one after the other.. by the third one I was looking at, the guy was already angry.

I thought fuck this shop and left.. all at once, but I'm sorry to say, it still beats Paradise! :)

This place is pretty awful for a coffeeshop. The glass I recieved my drink in was filthy, no joke. The budtender had an attitude as well. I bought some nepal hash, nothing special there.

im not a fan and deffinately wouldn't buy weed here. My mate got some gear here and it was too dry, full of stem and smelt like he was smoking a bbq. My advice would be to keep on walking and find somewhere else... but not Paradise.

This was the first coffeeshop i ever went to, and even though i was really really high since it was my first smoke in Amserdam, i still did not like it.
I got stoned and couldn't for the life of me roll a joint so the waiter/dealer/owner(?) whou couldnl't converse in english if his life depended on it started making fun of us and urged us to leave afer 15-20 mins even though a) we were he only ones there and b) kept buying snacks and drinks.

So yeah. Worst coffeeshop hands down. If you ever walk by the place just walk the other way...

I once got sold a dingle-berry by a crackhead on the RLD which was considerably better than anything i got in this shitty shop.

Seriously dont bother going. Really really not worth it in the slightest.

Well people i hate this place too. My mates on there first trip to the Dam choose this shop (Thats why you should not let newbies lead the way). We where served at a table? By one of the most weird characters i have ever met with a proper weird smile. In fact i would go as far as saying he looked like a crack head. He stood taking the order whilst rubbing his hands like he had struck gold with this weird grin. Straight away my friends who where on there first trip to the dam sussed we where gonna get ripped off. My friends got some weed called Blue Mountain (Proper shit) throat burning crap. Myself i sparked up a nice SShaze (From a decent shop) spliff much to the dismay of the bloke serving us. Once my friends had rolled up we left as we felt very uncomfortable.

ok, its a bit dirty. weed is ok, nothing to write home about. but it is a great place to hang out. I was here every day for a week and met several nice people, staff and customers. great reggae. there is one table in the front right next to the window. great for people watching. the straight tourists walk a little faster when they hear the tunes and smell the sweet stench of cannabis.

Situated just to the side of Amsterdam’s notorious Red Light District, Free Adam is in the middle of two other coffeeshops dealing with some serious competition. The coffeeshop has a quite chilled out atmosphere with everyone sitting around seeming to really relaxed and enjoying conversations with each other. Flashing coloured lights give the room a trippy feel and pictures of the legend Bob Marley on the wall give it that stereotypical drug culture theme. There are also two lions smoking joints on the front window adding Dutch related elements to the décor. This coffeeshop also has a large amount of mirrors around which is typical of smaller coffeeshops.

There was a decent sound system in place, blaring out Marley on the speakers. We had Hot Chocomel for our drink choices and also purchased a bag of Sensi for 15 Euros which was selected from a large and reasonably priced list of drugs. The Sensi smoked very well and just added to the positive experience in the venue. Free Adam like many other coffeeshops chooses not to sell food, which in our opinion is a shame as this is the one area that we feel they really lose out on. They got a mark for this due to the fact that they were serving space cakes. The toilets were quite good, fully stocked and very clean.

A great experience had in a great coffeeshop. I feel that Free Adam is definitely a coffeeshop I would go back to and spend more time in
