About The Borderline
The Borderline is one of the most established names in Nijmegen’s coffeeshop scene, sitting on Molenstraat close to the popular Waalkade waterfront. Its position near the Waal river means it benefits from the lively foot traffic that moves between the city centre and the riverside terraces, drawing in a mix of students, tourists, and long-time Nijmegen residents. The shop has a well-worn, lived-in atmosphere that feels authentic to the city’s character — Nijmegen is unpretentious and historically grounded, and The Borderline reflects that spirit. Service is experienced and the stock is managed with care.
Menu & Products
The Borderline carries a solid and well-maintained menu of flower varieties, covering the main strain categories with a few rotating specials. Hash is a strong point, typically offering three to four varieties including quality Moroccan pollen. The shop’s proximity to Germany means it also attracts cross-border visitors who are familiar with what a Dutch coffeeshop can offer, so quality is taken seriously. Pre-rolls are available and reasonably priced. Soft drinks are on hand and the shop is comfortable for an extended stay.
Getting There
Molenstraat is one of Nijmegen’s central streets, situated between the main shopping area and the Waalkade. From Nijmegen Centraal station the walk takes around ten to fifteen minutes through the city. Cycling is easy and the Waalkade cycling path is a scenic route. Public transport options include several bus lines that stop near the city centre. The area is compact and pedestrian-friendly.
Coffeeshop Rules
