📍 Mosplein 18, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Pick Up holds a distinctive position as one of the few quality coffee shops in Amsterdam Noord, the neighbourhood on the north bank of the IJ river that has transformed over the past decade into one of the city's most exciting creative and cultural areas. Since 2009 it has served the growing community of artists, tech workers and young families who have relocated to Noord.
The shop reflects its neighbourhood — creative, contemporary and unpretentious. The interior has a relaxed industrial quality in keeping with the repurposed warehouses and cultural spaces that define Noord's character. The NDSM Wharf, Eye Filmmuseum and the cafés and bars of the Johan van Hasseltweg are all nearby, making a visit to The Pick Up a natural part of a Noord exploration.
The cannabis menu features quality flower and pre-rolls at mid-range prices, typically €9–16 per gram, with attentive staff who know the products well. Reaching Noord is straightforward: take the free GVB ferry from behind Centraal Station — a five-minute crossing that locals use daily. The Pick Up is an excellent argument for spending time north of the IJ, away from the tourist-heavy centre.
