Abraxas was my fave coffeeshop in A’dam outside of the Grey Area, which any American who knows the scene hits up because it’s owned by Americans. But the Area is too small to chill in, so I prefer Abraxas. It can be a bit hard to find, but I found the peeps to be cool (budtender was kinda spacey but I expected no less.) Awesome “den” like atmosphere with pillows strewn about…interesting to hear about not smoking cigs in there. That must have changed since I was there in 2006. My friend bought a muffin, ate half and was out in 1/2 hour while I sat in our sweet little room overlooking the Herengracht and enjoyed my white widow. I’d go here over the Bulldog chain any day.

On my first trip to the ‘Dam about 15 years ago now, I also discovered Abraxas, found it to be a very pleasant enviromnet with a great menu, but I also caught a bit of attitude from the vendor (and I’m British, not American, haha).
I asked for Super Skuff and the guy all but persuaded me not to (“oh it’ll be too much for you” – but it wasn’t).
Mind you there was about six of us and we were all about 18 at the time, so I guess we probably weren’t their ideal clientele, although we did spend a lot of money there!

A little better than decent. But not one of my favorite coffee shops by any means.

Sounds like a decent place.
