Bacha Coffee review: our verdict
From 9 a.m., an hour before opening, the line forms in front of Bacha Coffee, inside the Dar el Bacha palace. The reward: a retro lounge that recreates the 1910s, uniformed servers, fine china, and a menu book where more than 200 pure coffees from around the world are arranged by profile, fruity, floral, or woody. You order by the cup, but receive a full coffee pot.
People come in pairs or as coffee enthusiasts, after visiting the museum, to be guided by staff who know their menu. On the pastry side, millefeuille, pistachio cheesecake, churros, and lemon tart hold their own against the decor. Not for a coffee quickly gulped between two souks: the wait can exceed an hour, and the prices are not those of a neighborhood bistro.
The best time slot: be in line around 9 a.m. for the 10 a.m. opening, from Tuesday to Sunday; on Monday, it's closed. The good tip: the hostess gives a beep, which leaves time to visit the palace while waiting for your table. The dish to order: the millefeuille, with a coffee pot for 44 DH (as of October 2025) that fills three to four cups.
