Old Church


Amsterdam Coffeeshop - Katsu - Cannabis Cup 2002
Oude Kerksplein 54

The Old Church is located in the heart of the Red Light District across from the famous "Old Church" which was the first building erected in Amsterdam. You may find, as I did, that it is a very strange setting here with coffeeshops and prostitutes surrounding this old Catholic Church. Well...that's Amsterdam.
To quote Ms. Tony, the owner of the coffeeshop, "This is REALLY a tourist coffeeshop and we like it that way" People from all over the world frequent this shop. The staff truly enjoys talking, laughing and joking with the clients. You will find them very polite, courteous folks, always in good humor.
Established in 1983, The Old Church is one of the oldest coffeeshops in Amsterdam. Before that it was just a house with heavy curtains covering the windows where people came to buy weed. The Old Church coffeeshop is decorated in golds and browns with dark wood, smoked glass and greenery; creating a warm feeling throughout. There is seating as you come in And a nice nook in the back with a big booth and also more seating upstairs. The front is all windows facing the Oude Kerk Square. There is always something happening on this square so it is a great people watching location. You may find yourself sitting here for hours at a time.
On the menu are 7 varieties of weed, including one biological and 6 varieties of hash. If you have questions about any of their products the staff will be happy to answer them.

5 min. walk from Central Station down Warmoesstraat to Wijde Kerksteeg on the right side of the church. From the Red Light district go down Oudezijdsvoorburgwal to Oude Kerksplein.
Open 7 days a week: 10 am - 1 am
