Cafés aren't exactly thin on the ground in Marrakesh. Almost every street corner has one.

Ordinary traditional cafés can be rather all-male; Moroccan women don't tend to drink in them. Women travellers, especially on their own, may therefore prefer a posher establishment. Cafés that double as patisseries are more female-friendly, as are most of the cafés around the Jemaa el Fna and on Avenue Mohammed V.

Coffee

Coffee (café in French, qahwa in Arabic) is espresso-style, but less concentrated than in Spain or Italy. Black coffee is café noir or qahwa kahla. Depending on how much milk you want, you can get café cassé / qahwa mehersa (with a spot of milk like a Spanish cortado or Italian macchiato), nuss-nuss (“half and half” – strongish, as in the photo above), or café au lait / qahwa bi-halib (milky, like a caffè latte). Black coffee with added water (not as strong as an espresso, in other words) is called Americano.
