Really really nice little coffeeshop away from the busy streets of Amsterdam. I was lucky enough to visit during Jack Herer Cup and made the most of their discounted offers on White Choco and Tangie G13, both reduced to 10/g which is an absolute BARGAIN. Both were extremely tastey, well cured (much better than a lot of others I have tried elsewhere) and good, friendly service to go along with it. Their Super Lemon block hash is top notch too at a great price. Tangie G13 also came with a sticker of THC and CBD % with a QR code for the lab results (EXTREMELY nice touch, really appreciated this

Wanted a 30th birthday cake done in the theme of gaming (ps4) I had giving Lee plenty of time to make the cake. I specifically asked for a "square cake" as this was preferred instead of round. When I collected the cake I was in a rush so didn't properly check it until later. It not only wasn't square but round and looked like it had been made that morning. The writing on cake was rushed and not straight also the ps4 sticker was half peeling off! Very disappointed and won't be back.

Our wedding cake was perfect! Everything we wanted! Ordering was not only so easy, but chatting with Lee to make the decisions was so much fun. Thank you for a great cake!
