Get Down To It

On Korte Leidsedwarsstraat in Amsterdam-Centrum, Get Down To It sits just off lively Leidseplein, the city’s entertainment hub of theatres, clubs, bars and eateries. It’s a busy, central area that works well for a convenient coffeeshop stop between cultural sights and a night out.

Get Down To It is one of the larger coffeeshops around Leidseplein. The feel is a little “internet‑café of old”: functional rather than flashy, easy to settle into for a while. Inside you’ll find a spacious layout with plenty of seating, a spiral staircase leading to additional rooms and a snooker/pool table for those who like to mix a game into their break. The crowd is mixed - visitors drifting over from the square, people heading to or from Melkweg or Paradiso, and locals who prefer a roomy spot that doesn’t feel cramped. Staff are used to first‑timers and are approachable if you want to ask questions.

Cannabis Menu

Get Down To It offers a broad cannabis menu covering different flowers and hashes, alongside pre‑rolls and a few classic edibles. There’s enough range here for newcomers looking for gentler options as well as experienced visitors after something stronger, so it’s straightforward to find a personal sweet spot. The shop includes an enclosed tobacco area, which is helpful for anyone who mixes within local rules. To round out the stop, there are simple drinks - coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks - and a few easy snacks.

A Great Stop in Leidseplein

Location is a major plus. From here it’s a quick hop to Leidseplein for a show at Melkweg or Paradiso, a round of bars, or a pause between boutique browsing and lunch. On a nice day you can fold in a short walk to Vondelpark; in the other direction, the major museums around Museumplein are within easy reach for a culture‑plus‑coffeeshop day. If you’re tracing the canals along Prinsengracht or Keizersgracht, Get Down To It is practically on the way.
