For exclusively picking up and a good quality-to-price index, I recommend the Amsterdam Genetics coffeeshops – in particular Boerejongens West & De Bij which are both located, you guessed it in the west side of town (de Baarsjes neighborhood to be precise) and are located minutes walking from each other.
Amsterdam Genetics has a few other shops and partner shops both in Amsterdam. I believe CS Johnny and 2e Kamer/Dampkring (haarlemerstraat) are partner shops, and DNA (Amsterdam-zuid); Blue Tomato (Hoorn) and La Regine (Haarlem) are other shops they own, so if you're feeling adventurous then those are worth considering. Voyagers is a good obvious answer that usually will have something at least decent, and easy to find. Club Media is pretty decent too. And if you're willing to go further afoot t' Grasje (Utrecht) & High Society (Leiden) are both worth checking out.
Alas the best is contacts outside the shops these days unfortunately, but as most tourists and Dutchies are perfectly content with the declining quality and rising prices in the CS's so it makes finding such reliable contacts a chore in and of itself...
