Taghazout runs on mint tea. The cafe culture here is the social glue — people sit on rooftops for hours, watching the surf, arguing about conditions, slowly working through a pot of tea. Understanding which cafes are worth your time (and which are just capitalising on the view) takes a few days of trial and error. We’ll save you the error part.

Rooftop Cafes Overlooking Hash Point

The Hash Point rooftop cafes are Taghazout’s living room. They’re elevated above the break on the north side of the village, facing west over the Atlantic. On a good swell day the whole lineup is visible from your seat, and every set that comes through gets narrated loudly by whoever’s watching.

The coffee ranges from decent to excellent depending on where you go — some places have invested in proper espresso machines; others still serve the grainy Moroccan instant variety. Mint tea is universally good. Fresh juices (orange, avocado, banana, mixed) are fresh and good value — 25–40 MAD.

Teapot Cafe: Centre of the main street. The best all-rounder. Free wifi, power outlets, coworking space on the first floor with natural light (minimum spend ~€5/~50 MAD). Smoothie bowls, avocado toast, poke bowls, all-day breakfast. Buzzing daytime atmosphere. 100–150 MAD for a meal. Consistently the most recommended cafe for digital nomads in Taghazout. Run by Mint Surf Morocco.

World of Waves: Faces the ocean directly above Taghazout beach, with al fresco terrace seating overlooking the bay. The best view on the strip. Serves beer, wine and cocktails (the most prominent licensed venue in the village), plus Moroccan breakfast (70 MAD), seafood, tagines, entrecôte steak (140 MAD). Not ideal for quiet laptop work but perfect for a long lunch or sunset drink.

Best for Digital Nomads / Working

Not every cafe wants laptops. The rooftop spots that openly cater to the digital nomad crowd tend to have better wifi, power sockets, and a tolerance for someone nursing a single coffee for three hours while working. See also the co-working cafes guide for the dedicated options.

Cafe Medina: Upscale cafe with elegant Moroccan decor and a peaceful, quiet ambiance. Strong wifi and good coffee. Better for focused work than the busier street-level cafes. Less lively than Teapot but more suited for extended sessions requiring concentration.

Best Coffee

Red Clay Cafe is the standout for specialty coffee — the only fully plant-based spot in town, they take their coffee seriously with a proper espresso setup (flat white, oat milk cappuccino). Teapot Cafe is also widely praised. Both are well above the standard Nescafé served at most local cafes.

Most Local Atmosphere

Away from the rooftop tourist strip, the basic Moroccan cafes on the side streets serve the local population — strong coffee, mint tea, simple food. A coffee here costs 8–12 MAD. The conversation is in Darija or Tachelhit. The vibe is the opposite of Instagram.

Cafe Tayoughte: The go-to local Moroccan cafe, situated on the beachside of the village with tables overlooking Hash Point. Traditional Moroccan breakfast — Berber omelette, msemen, amlou, honey, olives. Berber omelette + Moroccan salad for 30 MAD (~€3). Also serves tajines, sandwiches and fresh fish. No wifi, no Instagram vibes. Just good food at honest prices with a view that costs nothing.

Best Breakfast Spot

Two distinct answers depending on what you want. For a proper Moroccan breakfast (msemen, amlou, honey, olives, eggs, tea): Cafe Tayoughte — Berber omelette + salad for 30 MAD, tables overlooking Hash Point, no tourist markup. For a contemporary healthy breakfast (smoothie bowls, avocado toast, poke, all-day brunch): Teapot Cafe on the main street, 100–150 MAD per person.

Practical Info

  • Wifi: Most tourist-facing cafes have it. Speeds vary — ask before committing to a three-hour work session
  • Prices: Coffee 15–30 MAD at tourist-facing cafes (8–12 MAD at local cafes), mint tea 10–20 MAD, fresh juice 25–45 MAD, breakfast 50–80 MAD for a spread
  • Cash: Bring MAD — many cafes are cash only
  • Best hours: Early morning (7–9am) for a quiet session before the surf crowd arrives; late afternoon for sunset over the surf

FAQ

Do cafes in Taghazout have good wifi?

Variable. Several of the nomad-friendly spots have invested in decent connections. The basic local cafes typically have weak or no wifi. See the co-working cafes guide for the best options for working.

Is there good coffee in Taghazout?

Better than you’d expect for a small surf village, but not consistent across all spots. A handful of places have decent espresso machines — the best coffee section above has the specifics.
