Marnixstraat 92
Branden
Zand is a new competitor in this year's Cannabis Cup.
There is no desert here but this is certainly an Oasis.
A short walk from Haarlemmerplein, this shop is described
by their operators as "A neighborhood shop"
...lucky neighborhood!
The shop was completely renovated last year with the
assistance of a terrific architect. This is one of the
best- designed coffeeshops I have ever seen. Lots of
open space and 3 distinct seating areas plus a poolroom.
As you enter the first thing you see is a HUGE fish
tank at eye level in front of you. This serves as a
wall between the balcony area and the poolroom. The
stairs leading up to this tank are inlaid with rows
of dark blue glass bottle bottoms. On your right as
you enter is a curved bar with the front finished in
dark blue glass squares. Take the steps down to a cozy
seating area of sectional couches with loads of pillows
to sink into to or take the stairs up to the tropically
decorated Poolroom with a large skylight over the pool
table. Whatever your mood, there is an area to suit
you and lots to capture your attention. This coffeeshop
was well thought out, designed and decorated.
The menu here consists of 10 varieties of grass and
11 varieties of hash. One of their specialties is Bio
Haze. At Branden Zand they maintain the same menu and
same quality year around. They believe in Quality over
Quantity. The coffeeshop is stocked with wonderful Moroccan
water pipes for you bong fans out there too. We are
fairly confident that you'll enjoy your visit, come
see us!
