Best shop for early arrival

[montshire]

Arrive in the 'Dam next week on an early flight. Of the shops that open early

Coffeeshop Central 7am
The Coin 7am
The Grasshopper 7 or 8am
Picasso 8am
Barney's 7am

which should I go to?

What should I buy?

Can't find info on the Coin, or even where it is located.

Not the Grasshopper. Depends on if you are an 'experienced' smoker. prob. Barneys.

Well, you could have a breakfast at Barney's first, then trot on up to Picasso. Eat slowly, as Picasso is not that persistant on keeping up with the 8:00 AM schedule. Not throwing stones, cause Picasso is grand, but 8AM is more like 8 to 9 ish, at least on my last trip anyhow. I see one of the Siberie's Barkeeps in Picasso, seemingly every other time I go there, so it must be highly rated with the Dutch as well.
Have a Grand Early Morning,

Keep an open plan, depending on your mood?

If you wanna smoke right away, go to the closest coffeeship: Central. I read lots of good things about it but only go if I'm in the area.

For a tourist hangout and to pay a little excess, Grasshopper has a nice view and deck, but I don't normally buy gear there.

Picasso I like, it's a good smokers hangout, try the Poison, and they have some sort of free breakfast deal. Good weed, usually, for the serious smokers.

Barneys, if I wanted crowded, hot, popular, generally lousy service and "iffy" food, but sometimes some great Bud, would be a stop with lots flavor.

What about Pink Floyd? Not sure when they open, but when they do, they have nice food, good weed, and a great view out that big window upstairs. Lots of room and good air.

That's a lot better than what I had!!
Scratch my idea, Otis has a much better plan.

I too am arriving on an early flight on 6/16. I plan on hitting up either Central and then dropping off my bags at the Hotel or going straight to Barney's for a good breakfast and toke. Picasso is also good.

I would really avoid the grasshopper and I don't know that much about the coin.

[montshire]

Appreciate the replys.

Think I'll turn right out of the station and head up Haarlemmerstraat . Stop in Picasso, if it's open, and if not head up to Barney's.

Looks like Pink Floyd opens not befor 9 but I'll look in to be sure it's closed.

Haven't decided whether to put luggage in a locker in Central or just roll it along.

Like to check in to hotel first but probably too early.

If arriving to AMS Centraal....by all means......Central CS.....get the Afghan Hasj, never...ever, disappoints

[johnyjoe]

Central is my choice ...I had the Jack Herrer in April was real nice...the bio-skunk is tastey too...

Great drinks, and it is a perfect place to see the hustle and bustle of the morning rush hour....not sure about food items, never checked....
