I get the basics (ID, age limit) but small stuff trips me up: do people tip, is it rude to ask about strengths, how loud is too loud, smoking outside vs inside etiquette, and when is it okay to ask for a recommendation? Been to a couple near Centraal and one in De Pijp (not naming, but you know the vibe). Also curious how cities like [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") or [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") differ. Any local perspectives or weird unwritten rules I should know? Thanks, still learning the lingo and don't want to look clueless. 0 [ 58](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#comments "コメント")[ 共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam "共有") ## コメント 58件中20件のコメントを表示 S**Sophie**259日前 Short: nobody expects huge etiquette, but small things: don't hover at the counter, wait for the budtender to catch your eye. If you ask for strength say 'mild, medium, strong' and they'll understand. Tipping is not required, a euro is okay if service was extra friendly. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-d4c9f8c0-7fc4-48b9-b321-aa2fed2b829d "共有") J**Jan**257日前 > @Jesse: "do people tip" Ja, depends on the shop and the mood. In [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") I rarely tip, maybe a euro if the person gave a tiny private recommendation. In smaller towns like [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") people are friendlier and you'll end up chatting more, so a tip feels natural sometimes. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-b729180f-b418-451d-9a8b-90717d58cdfc "共有") F**FolkertN5**255日前 Also: know the difference between strains and products. If you look clueless, just say what effect you want — 'relaxed', 'energetic', 'sleepy' — staff will point you. In [Tilburg](/netherlands/north-brabant/tilburg "14 Coffeeshops in Tilburg Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") or [Breda](/netherlands/north-brabant/breda "9 Coffeeshops in Breda Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") some shops are more straightforward and less pretentious than parts of [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo"). 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-d92595f6-d781-45db-96e9-2459702e68b1 "共有") B**BrigitteZ4**253日前 As a near-[amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") regular: don't flash your passport all over the table, but keep it ready. Also, if a shop has a [plate](/germany/mecklenburg-vorpommern/ludwigslust-parchim/plate "Cannabis Social Clubs near Plate, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (2026)") for asking questions, use it — some places prefer short chats rather than [long](/thailand/phrae/long "Cannabis Social Clubs near Long, Phrae (2026) | Cannabivo") explanations. And yes, outside is often quieter for phone calls. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-95b10793-650a-49d0-ba67-6f835f966325 "共有") A**AnthonieTLB**251日前 Depends on the coffeeshop. Some are more touristy and staff used to questions, others (near Leidseplein) expect you to know what you want. If you're polite and say 'I'm new here, any suggestion?' most budtenders will help without judging. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-714f0184-3fb5-4d0c-97f1-f79cfba524c7 "共有") B**Benigno**250日前 From a visitors perspective: [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") is chill but loud in tourist spots. In [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") it's more low-key, people mind their business. If you want to avoid tourists, try shops closer to De Pijp or East — less selfie drama and staff actually have time to chat. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-a6bb0c0c-316d-4827-a2ba-ec69596c7105 "共有") R**RosarioA3**248日前 Little tip — if a shop has a 'no photos' sign, respect it. Some regulars are protective of ambiance and privacy, especially places near Jordaan. Also, people rarely smoke inside at nightclubs anymore, so don't expect late-night sessions in shops. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-31d3503f-5992-4c2b-8007-2fe51a5fe087 "共有") P**Petra**246日前 If you ask too many specific potency numbers they'll shrug—better to ask for 'something mellow' or 'strong for a night in'. Also, avoid bringing large backpacks inside, some shops ask you to leave them at the door during busy afternoons. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-1f0f50ea-e5b4-484e-ae5c-dc152ad3869a "共有") E**EstherI4**244日前 Lol the first time I asked 'what's the [best](/netherlands/north-brabant/best "Coffeeshops near Best Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") thing?' got a [long](/thailand/phrae/long "Cannabis Social Clubs near Long, Phrae (2026) | Cannabivo") lecture. Now I say 'first-timer, what would you pick?' and it's fine. Also watch out for closing times — many shops close early on Sundays or are cash-only sometimes. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-3c0a25e6-e453-4dd4-8852-30404c1aea40 "共有") G**Gurbe**242日前 Quick: noise level depends on the crowd. Afternoon locals are quieter, evening tourists louder. If you want a calm chat, hit a shop mid-morning or late afternoon, you'll get more patient recommendations and less pressure. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-6f1a9d3e-a6bb-4137-b64e-3bcda8dca045 "共有") W**WendelinLZN**240日前 Also, if a shop has a tasting table or small samples, try one before deciding — ask politely. And if you get a free sample, don't take the whole thing, share? People notice manners here, surprisingly. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-7e1f0daa-5e4f-409b-aa05-e260e1fdc7b7 "共有") K**KatharinaB7**239日前 > @Jesse: "how loud is too loud" Very situational. In a coffeeshop with chairs and a calm vibe, shouting is rude. In touristic ones near the station it's expected. Just watch how others behave and copy the quieter people if you want chill vibes. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-4d3ad17a-8586-4dbb-896a-7ef3a5557389 "共有") H**HéctorI1**237日前 Some shops have a loyalty card and regulars get small perks — not important for you now but if you frequent one place it's worth asking. Also, if someone seems like a local, small talk about football or the weather works better than 'tell me your [best](/netherlands/north-brabant/best "Coffeeshops near Best Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") strain'. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-fa874273-de88-4239-b9c9-88fe437b0c11 "共有") L**LuisZGZ**235日前 A practical thing: many shops accept card but some prefer cash, especially smaller places in [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") or [Heerenveen](/netherlands/friesland/heerenveen "4 Coffeeshops in Heerenveen Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo"). Carry a little cash to avoid awkwardness. And don't push for rooms to hang out — shops sell, they don't host parties. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-1bbeea6a-c761-4d99-8aec-211f6788ade6 "共有") A**AnthonieTLB**233日前 In [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") and [Nijmegen](/netherlands/guelders/nijmegen "13 Coffeeshops in Nijmegen Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") the scene is more 'we're having coffee' than 'we're a theatre.' So be low-key. If you want to try stronger stuff ask for 'top shelf' but add that you're new so they suggest portions. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-c2b96608-61e2-48db-9f07-6e7f418f0c69 "共有") S**Sjoerd**231日前 Dutch note: people often walk and smoke outside, so stepping out to phone is fine. Also don't assume every coffeeshop allows vaping or edibles on premises — ask. Some places are very strict about smoking areas. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-cfd59563-3399-4c81-9265-df802e54f35f "共有") I**Isabel**229日前 If you want discreet: try smaller shops in east [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") or out in De Baarsjes — staff are friendly and will explain in plain terms. Also mention if you have low tolerance, people respect that and give smaller amounts. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-bf4c2eed-6e2a-4f25-ab2b-a0b60ebbf307 "共有") M**Mario**228日前 I used to ask for 'something to watch a movie with' and that usually gets a laugh but also a good rec. Being casual and not demanding [goes](/netherlands/zeeland/goes "3 Coffeeshops in Goes (2026) | Cannabivo") a [long](/thailand/phrae/long "Cannabis Social Clubs near Long, Phrae (2026) | Cannabivo") way.

If you need more for an evening at **home**, be blunt and ask about limits politely. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-eb913cc0-f7d3-4fcd-a63f-70fd39170b88 "共有") P**Petra**224日前 Also cultural: many Dutch appreciate straight talk. If you say 'I'm looking for something mild for headaches' they'll usually be direct. Avoid slang that might be misunderstood, and smile — helps a lot. 0 返信[共有](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam#reply-e2ecab5b-38ee-42de-8e8b-7c7cebebe8dd "共有") 1[2](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam/2 "ページ 2")[3](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam/3 "ページ 3")[次へ](/ja/フォーラム/初心者/expat-learning-coffeeshop-etiquette-amsterdam/2 "次のページ") ## コメントを追加 コメントを投稿 ## コメントを追加 ディスカッションに参加するにはサインインしてください。 [ ログイン](/ja/認証/ログイン "ログイン") ## スレッドの詳細 カテゴリ新参者 投稿日259日前 コメント58 閲覧数0 ステータスオープン ## カテゴリ - [一般的なディスカッション0](/ja/フォーラム/一般的な議論 "一般的なディスカッション") - [クラブレビュー0](/ja/フォーラム/クラブレビュー "クラブレビュー") - [品種と製品0](/ja/フォーラム/品種-製品 "品種と製品") - [法律と規制0](/ja/フォーラム/法的規制 "法律と規制") - [新参者0](/ja/フォーラム/初心者 "新参者")
