Hengelo is a laid-back town in the east of the Netherlands, far from the crowds of Amsterdam — and its coffeeshop scene reflects that calm energy. With two licensed coffeeshops, the town offers locals and visitors an easy, legal way to buy weed without drama.
No big city noise, no hype — just steady service, fair prices, and a chilled-out vibe typical of Twente.
Both coffeeshops in Hengelo operate with the same no-nonsense approach: takeaway-only, clean environments, and respectful service. You’re in and out in minutes, unless you feel like chatting with the staff.
Expect:
Dutch weed & Moroccan hash
Pre-rolls and simple accessories
Reasonable pricing, no tourist markup
Staff that are direct but polite
Local regulars, no loud groups or stoner crowds
Ideal for those who want quality product without hassle or hype.
