7 Cafes Miley Cyrus Should Visit In Amsterdam

Miley Cyrus has been in the headlines for her recent European Music Awards on-stage toke-up. The entertainer has also been spotted at the Amsterdam coffee shop “Green House” with various DJs and celebrities – reportedly spending up to four hours at a time there. We know that this may sound like living the Amsterdam dream to many young people, but Amsterdam’s coffee culture is about so much more than taking blunt after blunt to the dome in some smokey glorified juice bar.

Miley, you do you – smoke that reefer with your friends if you want. But between rent-by-the-hour bong tokes and space cake tasting menus, you should take some time out to explore the quality espressos and drip coffee options in AMS. There’s great coffee to be found if you look beyond the coffee shops.
