De Bovenstad is a small coffeeshop tucked into the upper part of Gorinchem’s old town.
Locals love it for its steady quality, no-nonsense service, and quiet vibe.
Whether you're dropping by after a river walk or just passing through town, this shop gets you sorted — fast and friendly.
It’s not a big flashy shop, but it does its job well.
This is a takeaway-only coffeeshop — no lounge, no waiting area, no gimmicks. Just step in, make your pick, and go. The staff are helpful but not pushy, and regulars keep it low-key.
Expect:
Weed & hash in standard Dutch varieties
Pre-rolled joints
Rolling papers, tips & grinders
Respectful service
A calm and clean shop interior
It’s the kind of place where you’re in and out in under 5 minutes — no drama, no delay.
Coffeeshop De Bovenstad is located just above the city center, near local shops and walkable from the train station.

Coffee shops near the borders with Belgium and Germany often have restrictions on allowing tourists. To enter and purchase cannabis, you must either be a Dutch citizen or be employed in the Netherlands.
If you're temporarily working or studying in the country, you can obtain proof from the city council and request a GBA Extract (GBA-Uitreksel). This documentation will help demonstrate your eligibility to access these establishments.
