Prime beachfront location on the promenade. Outdoor terrace facing the Atlantic with palm trees and surf views.
Must order: Fresh orange juice with ocean view
Tip: Grab a terrace table at sunset — the west-facing position catches golden hour perfectly. Morning is calmer and less crowded.
Classic Moroccan cafe where locals gather from dawn to midnight. Simple, unpretentious, buzzing with conversation.
Must order: Noss-noss (half coffee, half milk)
Tip: Open 24 hours — hence the name (Day and Night). Perfect for early-morning coffee before a surf session or late-night mint tea.
Modern rooftop cafe overlooking the marina. Sleek design, comfortable seating, and views over the yacht harbour.
Must order: Cappuccino with pastry selection
Tip: The patisserie counter has excellent French-style pastries — croissants, pain au chocolat, and tarts that rival Casablanca.
Laid-back surf cafe with boards on the walls, sandy floors, and ocean views. International surf crowd mixes with locals.
Must order: Flat white and acai bowl
Tip: Technically in Taghazout, not Agadir — but worth the 30-minute drive. The acai bowls and specialty coffee are the best in the region. Combine with a morning surf session.
Traditional Moroccan patisserie with glass cases full of gazelle horns, briouats, and chebakia. Locals queue at the counter.
Must order: Moroccan pastry selection with mint tea
Tip: Buy a mixed box of pastries (50 MAD gets you a generous selection) and take them to the beach or your hotel terrace. Better and cheaper than any restaurant dessert.
A bit of home for expats and long-stay tourists. Serves English breakfast, burgers, and proper coffee alongside Moroccan dishes.
Must order: English breakfast with coffee
Tip: When you need a break from tagines and want a fry-up, this is the place. The English breakfast is surprisingly authentic.
Decorated with Amazigh (Berber) art, textiles, and artefacts. A cultural cafe celebrating the indigenous heritage of the Souss region.
Must order: Berber whisky (mint tea) with amlou
Tip: Try amlou — a dip made from argan oil, almonds, and honey, served with bread. It is a Souss-region speciality you won't find in northern Morocco.
Upscale beach club with sunbeds, umbrellas, and table service on the sand. Pool, DJ on weekends, and cocktail menu.
Must order: Smoothie bowl with beach lounger
Tip: The day-use package (sunbed + lunch + drink, ~250 MAD) is good value compared to paying separately. Weekends are busy — book ahead in summer.
Agadir's best specialty coffee shop. Minimalist design, serious beans, and baristas who know their craft. The digital nomad headquarters.
Must order: Pour-over with single-origin beans
Tip: Power outlets at every table and fast wifi — this is where remote workers set up camp. The cold brew on hot days is outstanding.
Simple cafe near the ruins of the old kasbah, perched above the city. The view sweeps from the port to the beach to the mountains.
Must order: Mint tea with panoramic city view
Tip: Come for sunset — the panorama of Agadir spread below, the Atlantic stretching to the horizon, and the mountains behind is extraordinary. Take a taxi up (30 MAD) and walk down.
Agadir's cafe culture is unique in Morocco. Rebuilt from scratch after the devastating 1960 earthquake, the city has no historic medina or ancient cafes. Instead, it has a modern, resort-oriented cafe scene: beachfront terraces, surf cafes, and international-style coffee shops alongside traditional Moroccan mint tea spots.
Try amlou (argan oil, almond, honey dip) and Berber whisky (ultra-sweet mint tea). The Souss region has its own food traditions distinct from northern Morocco.
The beachfront promenade is Agadir's social centre. Evening strolls past cafes and restaurants are a ritual — grab a terrace seat and watch the parade.
The Taghazout surf scene (30 min north) has spawned excellent cafes. Specialty coffee, acai bowls, and international vibes — a world away from traditional Morocco.

Agadir's cafe culture is more modern and resort-oriented than traditional Moroccan cities. You'll find beachfront cafes, surf-themed coffee shops, European-style patisseries, and international chains alongside traditional mint tea spots. The promenade cafes are the social hub, especially at sunset.
Yes. Agadir has several modern cafes with reliable wifi, power outlets, and comfortable seating for remote work. The best options are in the Talborjt and city centre areas rather than the beachfront, where wifi can be spotty. Several co-working spaces have also opened in recent years.
A traditional noss-noss or espresso at a local cafe costs 8–15 MAD ($1–1.50). Specialty coffee at modern cafes runs 25–40 MAD ($2.50–4). Beachfront cafes charge a premium: expect 30–50 MAD for coffee with a sea view. Fresh juice is 15–25 MAD everywhere.
