Barraka
The décor in Barraka is somewhat reminiscent of an upscale bar or cafe. There is a lot of dark wood inside, and a beautiful polished bar where you place your order. The selection here is extensive, with roughly two dozen strains during last check.

Rock It
in Vapor Lounges, Tobacco
Rock It is a "down to earth" dutch coffeeshop. There aren't a lot of frills here. Instead, it focuses on the basics. Like most shops in the vicinity, they have a nice stretch of outdoor seating to take advantage of the scenery and bustling activity.

Balou
The atmosphere of the shop is also very relaxed and welcoming. This particular shop takes its name from the famous children’s story Jungle Book. Specifically, the lovable talking bear named Baloo (in Dutch, Balou).

The Saint
The decor in here would be best described as "jungle theme". There is a great deal of mural art on the walls to that effect, complimented by colorful lighting. The Saint Coffeeshop also has a long row of tables and chairs outside the shop.

Jolly Joker
The Jolly Joker coffeeshop is very traditional in its decor. There is a lot of wood inside; bar, tables, benches, trim. It all has a very "corner bar" feeling to it. Not a lot of frills, so much more traditional Dutch.

Goa
The décor of Goa coffeeshop is best compared to a nicer sit-down Asian restaurant. A lot of the furniture here is dark wood, and Asian in style. There are also red couches, black leather stools, hanging birdcage lights, and Asian inspired artwork.
