Rabat –  Agadir has quietly become one of Morocco’s most exciting spots for coffee lovers. 

Between the Corniche’s sea breeze and the buzz of Souss-Massa’s cafe scene, the city is packed with spots that do more than serve a decent espresso.

They’ve built an entire atmosphere around brunch tables, patisserie counters, and laid-back terraces made for lingering. 

Based on Trip Advisor’s reviews and rankings, here are six cafes that keep coming up as locals and visitors favorites. 

‘Spagos Pool Bar’

With a near-perfect 4.8 rating from over 100 reviewers, Spagos Pool Bar has built a reputation as one of the liveliest spots in the area.

Tucked inside Hotel Argana on Boulevard Mohamed V, Spagos Pool Bar has carved out a niche as Agadir’s go-to poolside hangout rather than a traditional cafe.

It’s less “grab a quick coffee” and more “settle in for the evening,” with visitors regularly highlighting the entertainment and overall atmosphere as reasons to come back. 

By day, it’s all lush greenery, poolside loungers, and laid-back views. As night falls, the atmosphere shifts with a resident DJ, shisha service, and live football matches on big screens, best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand.

‘Let’s Be Healing Food’

Let’s Be Healing Food has become a favorite among health-conscious travelers. The spot is celebrated for its colorful smoothie bowls, fresh juices, specialty coffee, and wholesome breakfast options.

The cafe is located in Tamraght, just north of Agadir, where upcycled furniture and thoughtfully placed art pieces give the interior a curated, creative feel rather than a thrown-together aesthetic.

The Cheeky Chia smoothie bowl and the fish tacos are standouts, and the “Blood Booster” juice has developed something of a cult following among regulars.

It’s the kind of place people end up staying two hours longer than planned, just enjoying the calm and the sea view in the distance. 

‘The Little Kawa’

Also in Tamraght, still known locally by its old nickname, Babakoul, this is the pick for something that feels genuinely homemade.

It’s a small, family-run spot about 14 km up the coast toward Essaouira, run by a brother and sister who treat regulars like old friends from the first visit. 

Beyond breakfast, the chicken couscous and beef-and-prune tagine are worth the drive on their own, and the casolette de bœuf comes recommended by nearly everyone who’s tried it. 

‘Tafarnout’

Tafarnout has been running since 1984 and has become something of an institution in Agadir.

It’s easy to see why. Alongside a second branch at the Marina, the flagship location on Boulevard Hassan II has a terrace that’s almost always packed, where people-watching is just as much a part of the experience as the food and coffee.

Breakfast runs through seven different formulas, and the crêpes “Mille Trous” with honey are worth ordering on their own. Even when the terrace is packed, which it usually is, the staff stay warm and unhurried. 

‘Dar Tjine Anza’

Anza isn’t a neighborhood known for good food, but Dar Tajine Anza is quietly changing that. It’s become a go-to for a proper Moroccan meal.

There’s also couscous, grilled meats, and pizza on the menu for anyone who wants something different. What sets it apart isn’t just the food, it’s also the atmosphere. 

The traditional tilework and cozy seating make it an easy place to settle in for hours, whether that’s over a long lunch or just to read or work in peace. 

It’s also a convenient stop when visiting Souk El Had.

‘La Fontaine’

La Fontaine is the pick for a proper sit-down breakfast close to the beach, it is part of  Aït Souss complex on Boulevard Hassan II.

The cafe has two terraces, one at street level and another upstairs, but the upper terrace is the one to choose for its unbeatable people-watching views.

La Fontaine remains one of Agadir’s most recognizable and enduring destinations, it combines the charm of a traditional Moroccan café with the feel of a European-style patisserie.
