About Easy Does It Den Haag
Easy Does It Den Haag has built a loyal following in The Hague's centre through consistent quality, accessible pricing, and an atmosphere that prioritises relaxation over excitement. The name captures the shop's philosophy perfectly: no pressure, no pretension, just good cannabis and good service delivered at a pace that suits the customer.
Opened in 2011, Easy Does It has become a regular destination for The Hague's working population, including civil servants, NGO workers, and the many administrative professionals who keep the Dutch government and international institutions running. These customers appreciate a shop that they can visit during a lunch break or after work without being overwhelmed by the tourist-oriented energy of some of the city's more prominent coffeeshops.
With 12 to 16 varieties, the menu is well-judged for a shop that serves a predominantly regular customer base. The core selection is consistently maintained and reliably grown, with staff who know every item on the menu well enough to give genuine recommendations. The rotating items keep things interesting without disrupting the reliability that regular customers depend on.
Pricing at ten to fifteen euros per gram is competitive for central The Hague. Easy Does It has made a deliberate decision not to price-match the premium end of the market, preferring instead to maintain accessible pricing that serves a broad customer base. For regular users in The Hague, this pricing approach makes Easy Does It significantly more economical on an ongoing basis than the city's premium options.
