Voyagers

Voyagers sits just southeast of Centraal Station's main entrance, on a quieter corner at the northern tip of the Geldersekade canal — a step off one of the busiest pavements in the city without being far from it. The shop is the ground floor of the smoker-friendly Voyagers hotel, and the budtender doubles as the hotel receptionist.

It's small, and the seating is limited — most people buy and go. What it's known for is the menu rather than the room: a short list with a strong bias toward contemporary US genetics, competition winners, and named breeders, and a reputation among regulars as a connoisseur shop rather than a hangout. There's a separate area for people who mix with tobacco, and ID is checked without exception.
