Lovely and definitely cozy place in a very busy area. We love coming here for an escape and having a relaxing coffee and break. Definitely sit in one of the tucked away dining rooms. The v60 coffee comes with some small biscuits which was a nice treat. During our short stay in Marrakesh we came here three times! One time we had a pizza, and they got ready in 10 minutes since we were in a rush. It was really tasty! Washrooms are clean.

We just had drinks, but the service was very friendly and efficient. The mint tea, wine and orange juice were all fresh and delicious. Perfect stop if it’s chilly outside as they have nice fireplaces and heaters. If it’s warm they have a rooftop patio with a beautiful bar. Prices are very reasonable.
