Coffeeshop Baba

BABA — my first ever coffeeshop in amsterdam (2012).
I returned to Amsterdam for my birthday this year, and sadly, BABA is closed. Though, I think they will reopen in a different spot in the same vicinity.

Location is closed! Another suggestion is Prix d’Ami or 420 café ! 420 café has limited hours of operation. Enjoy!

Looks like business is permanently closed… at least at this location.
Unilocal makes me
Write more characters it looks like here’s another one around the corner called stones café, so I’m
Gonna try that one.

I bought a space cake and ate the whole thing, but didn’t feel a thing. Waste of 7 Euros.

We went here on our second day in Amsterdam looking for a cool place to smoke and hangout. This was not the place they have a waitress there that is like the coffee house pitbull. I know everyone needs to order a drink which is no problem but she never explained that to us just told us we had to order something which some of us did but we also purchased weed from there which did not count towards your drink order. To top it all off she told one of us that had a previous drink from
Another place that we had to throw it out immediately and order something from there! She was way too much for what was going on! I would never recommend this place the atmosphere sucked along with the pitbull waitress !

It’s where its at, it’s where my local friends told me.

This place is usually packed, especially later at night. But there is always a good vibe and friendly people. They carry good stuff but their space cakes were weak. I split a whole one with my boyfriend and we never felt anything. And they don’t have the best coffee or drink selection, but it’s a must see if you are into coffee shops and you’re in Amsterdam!

Sucks dude. I was in amsterdam a couple of days, it was my first stop. Went back a few days later and the old lady just looks at me and says «you have to buy smoke to sit here». I said, can I get a coffee? She says «We are not serving coffee right now, you have to buy smoke to sit here.» Mitch I was GONNA buy smoke but since you put it that way and tried to crush my cool I’ll just go hang out accross the street. Wont go back.

I am sad to give one star to what used to be my go-​to place in Amsterdam…
I first visited Babas in the late 90’s before the use of Euros. I was hooked by the homey feel, BUT, most importantly this was the place for TRANCE music lovers! I used to sit there for hours, grinning to the best trance beats the world had to offer! We’re talking about the days Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren were not even known to the world.
This week, for the second time this year, I walk into Babas and I hear rap. So I decided to talk to the dealer/​DJ and ask him why the change? I don’t like Trance music says he…
Well then, every forum on line now has to update the information because this guy doesn’t like Trance music!
This was the go to place for the genre lovers, and it is not anymore. I’m on task to find the new spot.

One of the best coffee shops because of it’s location and products. None of the other big coffee shops in the area had edibles, but baba has it all! Muffins, cake, pie… Enjoy your trippy Amsterdam experience!

The first couple days I scouted the coffee shops for which had the best vibe and deal.
I knew the hunt was over when I found Baba’s.
Great place to start or end the night hanging around the Red Light District.
Had a couple of their brownies– excellent. *Newbies note: It takes about an hour to kick and it’s moderately strong, in so splitting one with a friend and saving a joint for later is the sweet spot combination*
Also bought a few pre-​rolled joints. 2 Uppers (forget their name, came in a black tube). White Widow and Cheese were the two others we tried. All good stuff.
It can get busy in their, smaller shop in a centered area so keep that in mind when planning.
Cosmic Brownie– 7 Euro
Joints ranged from 7 – 11 Euro depending on what you picked.

Do not bother with the Baba anymore. They may have been cool back in the early 2000s when I first visited… but not anymore…
Used to be my favorite coffeeshop, too. At one point, staff were so cool… but now…
«You must buy a drink to consume that if you’re going to sit in this seat by the window.»
Ok…so I move to another seat.
«You must buy a drink if you want to sit here, too.»
Okej, great… so I move again.
«You must buy a drink to sit anywhere here to consume this.»
You know what? Fine. I will leave. What you don’t realize is this has been my 6^th time to Holland, and Amsterdam (not to mention I just spent € 10 on two shit joints that were mostly tobacco!!)…and it has been a tradition of mine to go to the Baba each time when I arrive in Amsterdam; and again before I leave… and here you insult me by telling me I can’t consume your product which I’ve purchased in YOUR establishment unless I buy a drink as well…
Okej, then… I will consume your product elsewhere… and while I do this, I will proceed to tell everyone to NEVER visit the Baba again… not a cool staff any longer, and no good trance music…
I will now go to Hunters instead where they won’t hassle me if all I want to do is smoke a joint… and where they have joints that actually have weed in them, and not just 90% tobacco, 10% crap weed!!!

Super Laden .
Gute Preise und super Produkte !!!
Klimaanlage ist auch vorhanden dadurch ist es sehr angenehm .
Kann ich nur empfehlen auch der Brownie hat es hat eine gute Wirkung.

Decent environment that does get crowded during the weekend. By far the biggest selection of pre-​rolled joints, though they can get expensive. Love the gigantic vaporizers on most of the tables. Not the best vaporizers. Very extensive list of product though in the higher end of prices in the area. Definitely can get better value at other coffeeshops. However, very diverse crowd and chilled atmosphere makes it a favorite place of mine to hangout. If in the area I will stop by, but definitely not a place that I would go out of my way to go to in Amsterdam.

Noisy and boisterous to the point of being loud. Ok staff that’s a little rushed and grumpy. Wide selection of products at a inflated price. Offer decent quality products though. I can think of many other places to go that are WAY BETTER and cheaper.

The herb here isn’t that great, but its my favorite place to smoke. Great music and nice shared-​table seating is a great way to meet people, relax and have fun. My last trip there, I got to help two middle-​aged Turkish doctors figure out how to smoke. Get your herb from someplace known for it, but take the time to get a drink and smoke here.

Warmoesstraat 64
in the Red Light District
I’m a huge fan of trance music, but I don’t blame you if you can’t stand it. Baba is a comfortable little shop with great views from its many windows on a busy corner of Warmeostraat in the Red Light District. They open around 8 each morning and close at 1 a.m. every night, and trance and vocal house is blasting out of their excellent sound system all day every day. Even if you aren’t a big trance fan, you might be surprised at how nice it sounds after a few tokes. Baba also sells very good spacecakes and other space items.

Sehr solider Coffeeshop mit einer großen Auswahl an Weed und Hash, allerdings läßt man sich die Qualität teuer bezahlen!
D. h. Sorten wie z.B. Amnesia Haze kosten 14EUR oder feines marokanisches Haschisch gibts auch erst ab 10EUR aufwärts, aber wie gesagt, dafür bekommt man auch Spitzenqualität.
Das Personal ist nett und auf Nachfrage gibts es alle möglichen Rauchgeräte!

ich hatte nicht viel zeit als ich letztes jahr silvester, und dieses jahr im august dort war, aber die location wäre bestimmt der hammer gewesen! ein relativ grosser coffeeshop mit vielen sitzmöglichkeiten, aber wenn ihr die preisliste seht werden die bekifften augen wieder ganz groß.also sorry, aber sowas von teuer!!!1g skunk og kush z.b. 14euro! und auch die anderen sorten (auch das grass) sind sehr teuer. quali ist okay, aber doch teurer als sonst. aber wenigstens hat dieser laden noch ein highlight: die haben da né vaporizer-​bong die neongrün leuchtet… aber seht selbst. ich hab ja nicht gesagt das es sich gar nicht lohnt!
