Amsterdam's no-nonsense coffee shop since 1981

With more than forty years of experience, Sensemillia is a well-established name in the neighbourhoods where it operates. Both locations mainly attract locals and neighbourhood residents, along with visitors who have discovered the shop through word of mouth or are looking for an alternative to the busy coffeeshops in the city centre.

Two locations, one philosophy

The location by Sloterplas in Osdorp is the oldest and also the most distinctive in terms of setting. The shop is situated on the first floor of a building by the water, with a smoking terrace overlooking Amsterdam’s largest lake. It is the kind of place where you can easily take a walk along the waterfront after your visit — not the image most people associate with a coffeeshop, and that is exactly the point. The second location on Gillis van Ledenberchstraat is within walking distance of Vondelpark and Overtoom, and is one of the longest-established coffeeshops in that part of the city.

Local prices, honest advice

What sets Sensemillia apart is its value for money. Prices are noticeably lower than in the city centre, while the selection of cannabis and hash is broad and consistent. The team offers advice when you ask for it and is happy to share its knowledge — without being pushy. They describe themselves as "nice to nice customers", which sums up the atmosphere well.

Why Sensemillia is worth a visit

Sensemillia is the coffeeshop for those who are not looking for a show. No marble interiors, no hipster aesthetic — just a place that has been doing what it does well for more than forty years. The waterfront setting makes the Nieuw-West location a surprisingly scenic destination, while the competitive prices are a welcome bonus for anyone willing to venture beyond the city centre.
