Kashmir

Set on Jan Pieter Heijestraat in Amsterdam’s Oud‑West, Kashmir sits in one of the city’s most easygoing, local‑feeling districts. The streets here are lively with cafés, neighborhood bars and independent shops, and you’re within a relaxed stroll of green corners and canal views. It’s a convenient base for visitors who want a coffeeshop stop without diving into the busiest parts of the center.

Kashmir is the coffeeshop side of Kashmir Lounge, the long‑running DJ café directly across the road. The lounge began life as a combined bar and smoking hangout; later, the sales moved into the dedicated shop opposite, a spot that locals once knew as de Jan Piet and, before that, Chicago. The result is a paired‑venue setup that feels distinctly Amsterdam: purchase at the coffeeshop, then cross the street for drinks and music.

Inside, Kashmir keeps things simple and welcoming - a straightforward counter, clear menus and a steady, unhurried flow. Staff on both sides are used to first‑timers as well as regulars, and the atmosphere stays relaxed. If you’d prefer to linger, the lounge offers a colorful, eclectic space with a casual terrace when the weather plays along and DJs on most evenings.

Cannabis Menu

Kashmir offers a broad cannabis selection covering flower and hash, with options that range from familiar Dutch staples to well‑chosen imports. You’ll usually find pre‑rolls and, at times, edibles alongside the main list, making it easy to pick something that suits your pace.

Hash lovers tend to be especially happy here. The menu often features a strong lineup of Moroccan varieties and, when available, less common picks such as Indian hash. The house offerings have a reputation for consistency; Polm Gold in particular is a long‑standing favorite among returning visitors.

A Great Stop in Oud‑West

Oud‑West is ideal for combining errands and exploration. From Kashmir, you can wander along Kinkerstraat for shopping and snacks, dip towards Overtoom for more cafés and casual dining, or head for a leafy break in Vondelpark. The area’s residential feel keeps the vibe easy, and the paired shop‑and‑lounge setup lets you tailor the visit: buy what you need, then settle in with a drink and music across the street.

If you’re mapping out a day in West, Kashmir fits naturally between coffee stops, boutique browsing and canal‑side walks. It’s also a handy meetup point for small groups who want a comfortable base without the crush of the old town.

Why Visit Kashmir?

Kashmir is a good choice if you want the classic Amsterdam combination: a well‑run neighborhood coffeeshop and, right opposite, a welcoming bar‑lounge where you can sit, sip and listen to DJs. It’s straightforward, traveler‑friendly and easy to slot into a relaxed itinerary.

With a varied menu, an especially strong hash selection and a location that rewards wandering, Kashmir makes a colorful, convenient addition to any Oud‑West day out.
