Favourite Coffee Spots in Tamraght Village: A Local’s Guide to Cafés & Community
As Morocco’s Atlantic coast continues to draw international attention for its surf culture, I wanted to touch on something within the community that has quietly been taking shape: a confident café and creative scene.
In recent years, barista-led coffee shops have emerged as social hubs, bringing together long‑term residents, seasonal workers, surfers, digital nomads, and travellers passing through. Expect specialty coffee done properly, lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, iced coffee, matcha, and dairy‑free milks, served alongside delicious home-baked cakes and cookies.
Paired with world‑class surf breaks, Atlantic Ocean views, mountain walks, and a genuinely local village rhythm, Tamraght is ideal for travellers who want to live somewhere, not just tick it off an itinerary.
Some of my favourite moments here are simple ones: in‑person coffee catch‑ups, writing sessions in neighbourhood cafés, and spontaneous conversations with people I’ve just met. What I love is how each café below reflects its owner's personality —independent, creative, welcoming, and rooted in the community.
If you’re a coffee lover visiting Tamraght, here’s my personal round‑up of the village’s best neighbourhood coffee spots.
The Laundry
I’ll admit a small bias here, Charlotte, the owner of The Laundry, is a close friend, but this café truly deserves its glowing reputation. It’s charming, intimate, and effortlessly welcoming, with excellent coffee and irresistible homemade cakes. Hello, ooey-gooey chocolate-brownie and banana loaf made with bananas from nearby farms.
Tucked away on a quiet village street, The Laundry feels like a true neighbourhood café. It opens early (from 8am), making it perfect for sunrise risers and pre‑surf coffees, and gets sunshine for most of the day. Expect friendly chats, locals and visitors sharing tables, and often a snoozing cat soaking up the warmth beside you. Cash only.
Hey Yallah
This minimalist specialty coffee shop in Upper Tamraght was founded by Canadian creative Christine Taylor, who has made Morocco her home. With dusky pink walls and polished concrete finishes, Hey Yallah set an early benchmark for artisan coffee in the village.
Beyond excellent barista‑style coffee, seasonal drinks, dairy‑free milk options, and daily homemade pastries, Hey Yallah is deeply community‑focused. Christine regularly hosts initiatives such as the CoolShe Markets, which support women creators, and recently launched a village‑wide Coffee Crawl.
Upstairs, Studio HY hosts workshops, pop‑ups, and creative gatherings — check their Instagram for what’s on while you’re in town.
Nafas
Nafas — meaning “breath” — is exactly that: a warm, welcoming pause in the day. Run by Fati (Fatimzahra), this small garage café is filled with positive energy and coffee made with real care.
The menu includes espresso drinks, chai lattes, iced coffees, and baked‑in‑house cookies and cakes. You’ll often find people working on laptops, while outdoor tables invite relaxed neighbourhood chats.
Nafas also hosts regular events, including a Saturday book club and creative workshops. Opening hours and events are best checked via Instagram.
MishMish
MishMish — Moroccan Arabic for apricot — opened in January 2026 and quickly became a favourite. The menu offers an interesting, well‑priced selection of dishes that were not previously available in Tamraght.
Brits homesick for a good cuppa tea and full English will be particularly pleased: one of the owners is English, and the café offers classics such as an all‑day brunch (with turkey bacon), fish finger sandwiches, smoked salmon bagels, Yorkshire Tea, and excellent coffee.
MishMish also hosts community events, including language exchanges and creative workshops. Rooms and a dedicated co‑working space are planned upstairs.
Daydream
Part café, part concept store, Daydream is where great coffee meets beautiful design. Barista‑style coffee is served primarily on the sun‑drenched terrace, with a window bar indoors offering street‑view seating.
Alongside excellent coffee (with dairy‑free options) and homemade cakes, you’ll find a curated selection of coffee‑table books, handmade jewellery, Moroccan rugs, shaggy poufs, and Tamraght‑inspired apparel.
Founded by Brianne, who hails from the Canadian Prairies, Daydream grew from her love of Moroccan interiors and her desire to bring a great oat milk flat white to her new home, Tamraght. You nailed it Bri!
Sukun Spot
“Sukun” translates to inner peace, and this café lives up to its name. Created by locals for everyone, Sukun Spot is relaxed, inclusive, and refreshingly unpolished.
Expect strong coffee (ask for a single shot if you prefer it lighter), flavoured drinks, and a friendly Moroccan crew. High ceilings, plug sockets, and softer lighting make it a comfortable place to work. They also stock Imood It nut butters and host community events, including morning runs, vision‑boarding, and painting sessions.
Wavecupp
Follow the turquoise VW Combi T2 to find Wavecupp. Aziz and his dog Leo usually park up at Banana Point, serving great coffee with a smile.
This mobile coffee truck is a natural meeting point for surfers, locals, van‑lifers, and curious passers‑by. No nut‑milk options — but always good vibes and even better conversations.
Le Petit Kawa (formerly Babakoul)
Le Petit Kawa holds a special place for me — it’s where I first drank coffee in Tamraght back in 2018. Years later, it remains family‑run, affordable, and deeply rooted in everyday Moroccan life.
Coffee here is traditionally strong; order a ns ns (half coffee, half milk) for a classic local experience. Generous Moroccan breakfast menus make it a favourite with locals, digital nomads, and surf‑weary travellers alike.
Adam’s Café
A relaxed, family‑friendly café with plenty of shade and wooden tables lining the street‑side terrace. The menu blends Moroccan and European dishes with fresh juices, breakfast classics, and colourful salads.
Their cappuccino comes topped with a generous dollop of chantilly cream — indulgent and nostalgic. Children are warmly welcomed.
Let’s Be
With African‑inspired interiors and a fresh, feel‑good menu, Let’s Be is ideal for those seeking plant‑based, vegetarian, or vegan options.
Expect beautifully presented pancakes, Buddha‑bowl salads, raw chocolates, and ‘nice‑cream’. Check social media for opening times and menu updates.
Whether you’re looking for a place to work, meet friends, fuel up pre-surf, or recover post, or simply enjoy a well‑made coffee, Tamraght has a café to suit.
