The Stud

Set on Molukkenstraat in Amsterdam Oost’s Indische Buurt, The Stud is a neighborhood coffeeshop with a loyal local following. The area is residential and down‑to‑earth, with everyday cafés, small shops and parks giving it a relaxed rhythm far from the crowds of the old center. It’s an easy stop if you’re exploring the east side of the city or staying nearby.

The Stud has been part of the scene since the early 1980s. It began on Niasstraat and moved to its current Molukkenstraat location in the 2010s, where it has cemented its reputation as a friendly, no‑nonsense spot. Inside, expect a straightforward, comfortable setting and a warm welcome from staff who are known for being approachable and helpful. The mood suits first‑timers as well as regulars, and the crowd tends to be predominantly local, which adds to the authentic, everyday feel.

Cannabis Menu

What makes The Stud stand out is its clear, value‑minded way of selling: most flower and hash are offered in pre‑weighed bags, and the board shows exactly how many grams each bag contains. Alongside this, you’ll find The Cali Connection - American strains sold by the gram - plus pure joints and edibles such as classic space cake, a space muffin and cupcakes. The menu board also lists each strain’s indica/sativa balance, which makes it easier to choose by desired effect rather than just by name.

Overall, the selection balances good quality with sensible options, so you can put together a purchase that works whether you’re curious and trying a little of everything or you already know what you like.

A Great Stop in the Indische Buurt

The Stud’s location makes it a handy break while discovering Amsterdam Oost. Pair a visit with a stroll along nearby Javastraat for neighborhood cafés and eateries, or head to Flevopark for greenery and waterside paths. If you’re based around Zeeburg or the Eastern Docklands, it’s an easy detour without having to cross the busy center.

Right next door you’ll find The Stud Store, the coffeeshop’s boutique for clothing and smoking gear, including the Indica Amsterdam clothing line - useful if you need rolling supplies or want a local souvenir with character.

Why Visit The Stud?

Choose The Stud if you want a long‑running Amsterdam coffeeshop with a local vibe, helpful staff and a menu that’s easy to read at a glance. The pre‑weighed format takes guesswork out of buying and keeps the experience straightforward.

For travelers looking to mix a coffeeshop visit with low‑key neighborhood exploring - parks, side‑street cafés and a slower pace - The Stud in the Indische Buurt is a smart addition to your Amsterdam itinerary.
