Area Coffee | specialty coffee

slow afternoon in marrakech and you've wandered far enough from the main drag of the medina to want somewhere that actually sits still for a while. area coffee, on derb dabachi near squre moulay abdelkader, is the kind of place that draws a steady, loyal crowd, which in a city this busy means something. specialty coffee is still carving out its space in morocco, so finding a shop with genuine commitment to the form in the old city is not something to take for granted. the regulars here are consistent and enthusiastic, and that kind of repeat loyalty doesn't build around indifference. whatever your order, the cortado in the early afternoon is a good reason to find n13 on a quiet weekday.
