Koffieshop De Os is a cannabis coffeeshop located at Korfmakersstraat 2 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Founded in 1985 as a living room shop at Ossekop, the establishment moved to its current spacious location in 1997. The shop operates daily from 10:00 to 23:00 and specializes in cannabis products while maintaining the original concept of a communal space where guests can meet over coffee or tea. De Os emphasizes responsible cannabis sales with transparent policies and focuses on creating a relaxed, trusted atmosphere for its customers.
Product Range
De Os specializes in cannabis products, offering various indoor-grown cannabis strains at different price points and typically at least one outdoor variety. They prioritize earth-grown, organic products without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The shop maintains a regularly rotating cannabis assortment and stocks hash from different regions worldwide, including domestic options. Pre-rolled joints are available, and they offer edible cannabis options for those who prefer not to smoke. Beyond cannabis, they serve coffee from Peeze, 27 varieties of tea sourced from local market herb vendors, Fritz-Kola and Schulp soft drinks, and fresh toasted sandwiches made with organic ingredients and market cheese.
What Makes Them Unique
With nearly four decades of operation since 1985, De Os distinguishes itself through its commitment to organic, chemical-free cannabis cultivation and its community-focused approach. The shop features an upstairs art gallery that rotates local artists' work, providing exposure opportunities for emerging talent. They offer custom merchandise including hoodies, t-shirts, and bags through their dedicated Instagram account. Regular "Ossemix" DJ evenings feature local DJs playing various genres from Psy-Chill to Deep House. The establishment maintains strict house rules promoting social behavior, cleanliness, and zero tolerance for sexism and racism while prohibiting alcohol, dealing, and personal consumption of outside products.
Shopping Experience
The website provides basic information about the shop's offerings and atmosphere but lacks e-commerce functionality, product catalogs, or online ordering capabilities. Customers must visit the physical location to make purchases. The site features photo galleries showcasing the interior atmosphere and includes embedded social media content. Staff members are available to help customers choose appropriate products based on personal preferences. The shop offers WiFi, games, magazines, and newspapers for customer entertainment. However, the website doesn't display specific product prices, detailed menus, or comprehensive information about current inventory, requiring in-person visits for complete product details and purchasing.
