The Best Coffeeshops Of Enschede

If you’re in the Netherlands and you love weed, then one of the most enjoyable things you can do is visit a coffeeshop to pick up some top-quality bud, or even sit and have a smoke while socialising with the other clientele. Each coffeeshop tends to have its own character and charm, meaning that there’s something for everyone if you’re willing to hunt around.

Enschede is a small city of around 140,000 inhabitants located on the Western border or the Netherlands. Rather than ending, the city simply merges with the German city of Gronau, with which it shares the border. As a result, it is a popular destination for Germans who want to purchase cannabis, and, unlike other border towns such as Maastricht, coffeeshops in Enschede sell to non-residents. That said, anyone looking to purchase cannabis there and then pop across the border should beware! German police often lurk on the German side and search those crossing, as they are fully aware why people go there. How the new German cannabis laws will affect this is unclear.

Below, find a map with each of the shops located on it, and then below that, find out a little about each shop.

The Black Sea

The Black Sea is known for its high-quality service and top-quality range of cannabis flowers and products. Interestingly, it’s also a social space in its own right, offering additional seating areas where smoking isn’t allowed. This means that it’s not just a den to get high in, but provides a space for like-minded people to congregate even if they don’t want to get high.

Thunderbird

This popular shop in Enschede is known for selling premium-quality products, and therefore it should be on the radar of anyone who has a penchant for tasty weed. However, it’s important to know that Thunderbird doesn’t have a smoking space, so those looking to find a chill spot to settle down and have a toke should consider somewhere else.

Cafe Mix

This is a very popular cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, making it suitable for all times of the year. Known for having knowledgeable, friendly staff and a menu full of top options, it is by some considered to be one of the best coffeeshops in Enschede. If you want to spend many hours indulging in a range of delicious drinks and foods alongside your smoke, then Cafe Mix might be the one for you. They also show sporting events, meaning you can catch the game and have a smoke at the same time!

Gabriela

This space is more of a dispensary, as it doesn’t have a designated smoking area. Small and personal, it tends to have only a small selection available for purchase. However, what they do have is usually of high quality, and for those who want to pick up without any fuss, Gabriela is a good choice.

De Molen

This is an understated coffeeshop with a small seating area. Operating on a cash-only basis and offering a small but well curated menu, it’s perhaps not the best choice for tourists looking for a mind-blowing coffeeshop experience. However, for those who want somewhere chill and out of the way, De Molen is a good choice.

Grasshopper

This coffeeshop has a large and popular smoking space, which makes it a good option for people looking for somewhere to not just get some weed but also hang out. The menu includes weed, hash, and pre-rolled joints, offering a range of products, but nothing too out of the ordinary. The main draw of Grasshopper is the smoking area—featuring a pool table, dartboard, and gaming consoles—for which we’d seriously recommend it.

The Edge

If you want a chill, pub-like atmosphere to smoke in, then The Edge might suit you! With comfy sofas, a pool table, and a delicious selection of foods, it can be a good place to while away the evening with friends. What’s more, given the atmosphere, it can also be a good social space, allowing for like-minded individuals to meet and hang out.

Koffiehuis Sharon

Understated with a small smoking area, this coffeeshop is mostly frequented by people who want quality cannabis products. It is not the most exciting place to hang out, but it does have a familiar atmosphere and offers a good selection of flowers and hash. Reviews show that the quality is generally very good. What’s more, the shop is located in the city centre, making it suitable for tourists who want somewhere easily accessible.

Miami

Miami offers cheaper weed than many other coffeeshops in Enschede. With a small seating area and a pool table, it’s also a suitable space to hang out with your purchase as well. Reports indicate that while the prices are very reasonable, the quality is generally average. So for people looking for decent weed at a decent price, then Miami is very suitable, but for seasoned smokers after something really special, another option might be more suitable.

Cannabis coffeeshops in Enschede: Spoilt for choice!

Whether you live in Enschede or you’re just visiting, there’s a wealth of options when it comes to choosing somewhere to buy and consume your cannabis products. Most shops offer some seating, but double-check before you go if you plan to settle in for a session, as a few of them don’t. As far as we’re aware, all coffeeshops cater to tourists but will require ID even if you are clearly of age—the law is strict about who can be sold cannabis, and it’s unlikely staff will make an exception for you.
