Our Story…
Our heritage comes from our long-standing history in the Coffeeshop industry. Since 1985, visitors to the beautiful city of Amsterdam have been frequenting our fine establishments. First came the Tweede Kamer Coffeeshop on Heisteeg. Amongst the first of Amsterdam’s Coffeeshops to open, it started our passion to provide great experiences in relaxed and safe environments.

When our first Coffeeshop opened its doors in 1985 it swiftly became a household name within the smoking community. Probably Amsterdam’s most mature coffeeshop and certainly amongst the oldest. It offers a great place to just sit and talk with locals and like-minded Amsterdam Coffee lovers from all over the world.
Dampkring Coffeeshop
We opened the original dampkring in 1993 and remained the owner until 2011. Enjoying many great moments including multiple winning entries at the High Times Cup over many years. One of our favourite memories, of course, would be the filming of Ocean’s 12 with George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to name but a few.
These days neither Coffeeshop Amsterdam, Amsterdam Coffee, Tweede Kamer or ourselves are affiliated with the dampkring in any way.

A second dampkring was opened in 2007, on the location of the old Pink Floyd Coffeeshop on Haarlemmerstraat. August 2017 the Coffeeshop was renamed to CoffeeshopAmsterdam to finally end the confusion between the two dampkring Coffeeshops.
It remains one of the most popular Coffeeshops in Amsterdam due to its consistently high-quality products. This coupled with its amazing vibe, vibrant and super friendly staff means it should certainly be on your list of Top 10 things to do in Amsterdam.
