Halvemaansteeg is one of those narrow lanes off the [canals](/spain/valencia/canals "Cannabis Social Clubs near Canals, Valencia (2026) | Cannabivo"), so the place has an intimate, slightly worn-in feel. Locals and visitors mix here — people popping in for a quick pick-up and others lingering to escape the cold. The vibe leans old-school: no flashy decor, just familiar faces and a steady turnover behind the counter. From the windows you get views of cobbles and low canal houses, and the streetlights make everything feel softer after dark. Folks often step outside to chat on the pavement; conversations range from local gossip to which canal boat runs later. Service moves with the easy pace of a place that sees regulars, even when there's a short queue. If you want somewhere that feels like a proper [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") stop rather than a polished tourist shop, this coffee shop will do. Expect down-to-earth energy and a practical, no-nonsense selection before you head back into the canal-side maze. 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. Cannabivo is an informational directory and does not sell, supply, promote, or advertise cannabis. ## When we're open | Monday | 09:00 - 01:00 | |---|---| | Tuesday | 09:00 - 01:00 | | Wednesday | 09:00 - 01:00 | | Thursday | 09:00 - 01:00 | | Friday | 09:00 - 01:00 | | Saturday | 09:00 - 01:00 | | Sunday | 09:00 - 01:00 | Open now Closes 01:00 today.
