As the name hints, the interior leans a bit retro — not slick or modern, just an older, lived-in feeling. The street around it is a mixed one: small shops, takeaways and the odd secondhand store, so there’s always people passing the windows. Mornings are mellow; afternoons fill with bikes and backpacks. You get a steady hum of conversation rather than loud music, which makes it easy to read or meet someone without shouting. The staff are quick and practical — friendly [nods](/switzerland/bern/bernese-jura/nods "Cannabis Social Clubs near Nods, Bern (2026)") and efficient coffees rather than anything staged. It’s a good spot for a quick stop on your way through or to linger with a paper, and it feels like a proper neighbourhood place rather than a tourist stop. Coffeeshops operate under the Dutch tolerance policy (gedoogbeleid): cannabis remains technically illegal under the Opium Act, but prosecution is suspended for establishments that comply with the official AHOJG criteria, including a strict ban on advertising. Local authorities decide whether a coffeeshop is permitted and set local conditions. This entry is factual directory information, not advertising or encouragement to use cannabis.
