Coffeeshop Number 11

A small Jordaan original with over 30 years of local Amsterdam history.

Paradox Coffeeshop has been part of Amsterdam since 1991 and is proudly known as Coffeeshop Number 11. Tucked away in the Jordaan, it began as a small local shop with a creative, independent spirit, first connected with The Painter, then becoming the Paradox people know today. More than three decades later, the shop still has the same old-school character: familiar faces, local art, good coffee, quality cannabis and homemade space cake made with real Amsterdam history behind it.

Friendly Atmosphere

Whether you’re here for a smoke, a slice or a slow afternoon, Paradox is a friendly Amsterdam coffeeshop with local soul.

Open Every day

Open every day from 11am to 8pm for homemade spacecake, quality cannabis, good coffee and a proper Paradox welcome.
