It's called a "coffee shop"[1] and those are available throughout the netherlands. You can buy soft drugs and soft drinks (maybe a coffee) for local consumption, but you'll often won't get any cakes or alike or any alcohol there. But seeking for corner cases throughout the world is probably not the best way to find a good way to tag things. I guess even most dutch mappers won't tag a "coffee shop" as amenity=cafe, because the main purpose to get there is not to get a coffee.
