Bacha Coffee

Location & practical

Coffee in the Pasha’s Palace

  • Coffee in the Dar el Bacha palace.
  • A broad 100% Arabica selection.
  • House-made croissants and a coffee boutique.
  • €4–27 / person
  • Dar el Bacha, Medina
  • International and Moroccan

Bacha Coffee sits within Dar el Bacha, the former pasha’s residence that now houses Marrakech’s Musée des Confluences. The palace setting is part of the visit: carved wood, zellige and a garden courtyard lead to a coffee room whose polished service and bright coffee tins feel more theatrical than the medina streets outside.

Coffee is the main event. The selection ranges across single-origin, blended, flavoured and decaffeinated 100% Arabica beans, served with pastries and house-made croissants. Breakfast and savoury dishes make it possible to stay for more than a cup, though this is best approached as a palace coffee stop rather than a long restaurant lunch. The adjoining boutique sells packaged coffee to take away.

Plan for the practicalities. The Marrakech coffee room does not take reservations; ask at the museum entrance which ticket is needed for the café, since access arrangements may change. It opens during the museum’s daytime hours, Tuesday to Sunday. If the coffee room is your priority, arrive early and allow for a possible wait; if you have time, see the museum and courtyard while you are there.

Getting around
Easy without car
Arriving
Enter via the Musée des Confluences Dar el Bacha on Route Sidi Abdelaziz. Ask at the museum entrance about the current café access ticket; a full museum visit has a separate admission price. The museum is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00. Bacha Coffee accepts walk-ins only.

Worth knowing

  • Walk-ins only: Bacha Coffee says its Marrakech coffee room has a strict no-reservations policy. Expect a possible queue.
  • Bacha Coffee is reached through Dar el Bacha. The museum lists full foreign visitor admission at approximately €5.50; ask at the entrance whether a separate café-only access ticket is available, as reports on café access differ.
  • Marrakech’s official tourism site lists coffee from about €4 and a fuller café meal around €27 after conversion. These are indicative amounts, not a current itemised menu; check the menu on arrival.
  • The museum and coffee room are generally open Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00, and closed Monday. Check holiday hours before visiting.
