A café-like coffeeshop on Prinsengracht
La Tertulia is on Prinsengracht in Amsterdam’s Jordaan, near the Nine Streets. The family-run shop has been operating since 1983. Its bright rooms, plants and relaxed music set it apart from the more enclosed feel of some coffeeshops.
Natural light reaches the seating areas, and ventilation helps keep the air from feeling heavy. Plants and crystals add to the earthy decor. The shop is spread over two floors, with a view of the canal from the upstairs room. Outside, a Van Gogh mural covers part of the building, and a few tables sit alongside it.
Coffee, food and cannabis
You can come for coffee or hot chocolate, or choose a toastie or sandwich. The food selection includes vegan options, such as vegan bundt cake, and milkshakes are also available. One travel account notes a menu of 15 sandwiches, though individual sandwich names are not provided here.
La Tertulia also sells cannabis products, including flower, hash, bubble hash and edibles. The shop combines that selection with a setting where non-smokers can sit with companions; the airy rooms and ventilation help make a longer stop more comfortable. If you want to sit down, purchase a drink. Specific smoking accessories may not always be available, so bring your own if you need one.
Planning your stop
A daytime visit makes the most of the natural light and the upstairs canal outlook. The address is Prinsengracht 312. The shop is closed on Mondays and Sundays and opens from Tuesday to Saturday; check the current hours before setting out, as they can change.
Payment is cash-only. Seating is available on both floors, but the space is not large, so allow time to settle in rather than treating it as a quick stop. The calm setting and drinks make it an option for a mixed group, including someone who does not smoke.
