Meppel may be a quiet town in Drenthe, but when it comes to coffeeshops, it delivers quality over quantity.
With just two licensed coffeeshops, this is not the kind of place where you’ll find loud touristy weed bars — and that’s a good thing.
Instead, Meppel offers a calm, local cannabis scene with good service, reasonable pricing, and a no-nonsense vibe.
If you're traveling through the north of the Netherlands, or live nearby, this town is a peaceful and reliable stop for your next smoke.
The two coffeeshops in Meppel are both takeaway-only, but each has its own character. Whether you're after something strong or smooth, quick or chill, you'll find what you need without the chaos.
Expect:
A small but solid weed & hash menu
Pre-rolls and rolling gear
Calm atmosphere and quick service
Staff who actually treat you like a human
It’s the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name — but newcomers are just as welcome.
Meppel sits in a great location — easily reachable from Zwolle, Hoogeveen, and even Germany. It’s calm, clean, and has that laid-back northern touch. You're never far from nature, and the city center has enough charm to combine your visit with lunch, shopping, or a stroll.
The coffeeshops reflect that same atmosphere: no drama, no hype — just good weed, sold right.

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.
