Does anyone know (for sure!) the closing date for Baba coffeeshop? Is there anyone in Amsterdam who would be willing to walk over there and ask for me please? Their website email server doesn't seem to be working properly.

I want to schedule a visit to Amsterdam before they close, but the best information I have so far is that they plan to close in July. Whether that means July 1 or July 31, I don't know,

Can someone do me a favor and please check with them for an exact date?

Thanks, and much appreciated

Where did you hear this? This was the first place I ever got stoned in my life. Very sad news if true.

ALL coffeeshops on Warmoesstraat are scheduled to close by the end of the year. Some already have.

There was one ray of hope that was offered up (a possible Dutch bending of the rules thing), but it's a bit much to ask for and I'm assuming that they will have to close. Too bad too. For being right at the edge of the RLD, it was clean, fairly large, nicely decorated, generally decent music, and a friendly staff and atmosphere. Oh, plus better prices than most (on beverages). A model coffeeshop, imho.

Dogs-

Everything looked relatively normal last week, but I only stopped in Hunters. The rest of the Wallen,,wow, lots of changes. Having a small coffeeshop in the middle of the Tromp was a change...

Its all good, just a tad different.

Absolutely gutted to read this :( , we are booked to come to Amsterdam for a few days beginning of December and i was looking forward to sitting in the window drinking hot chocolate smoking some bud and watching the crazy world of Warmoestratt go by .


Will the shop be moving premises or closing altogether ??

Staff said that they might try to relocate, but locations and licenses are sparse
And where are you going to find another corner like that?

Such a sad thought that the oldest street will be changed for ever , it will change the whole atmosphere.

You are right that corner was iconic it will be nigh on impossible to find a new place like it.
