Good to know
Bondi Coffee Kitchen brings a slice of Australian café culture to central Casablanca. Inspired by the relaxed atmosphere of Bondi Beach in Sydney, it is a modern coffee shop with a warm, contemporary interior that uses natural wood and nature-inspired decoration. It belongs to a style of modern café quite different from the city's traditional pavement cafés.
Coffee is the focus. The menu runs from strong espressos to creamy lattes, alongside teas and other refreshing drinks, so it is a good stop if you are missing your usual coffee from home. Food follows the healthy, fresh-ingredient approach associated with Australian cafés, with hearty breakfasts, light lunches and dishes that continue into the evening. That makes it a flexible option whether you want a late breakfast after a long night or a light meal before an evening out.
The café is open from 09:30 to 21:00, according to the regional tourism council, which makes it practical for a mid-morning coffee or an early dinner. Arrive early in the day if you want a quiet table. If you are visiting during Ramadan, bear in mind that cafés across Morocco often adjust their hours, with some opening later in the day, so check before you go. Card payment is not universal in smaller cafés in the city, so carrying some cash is sensible. Laptop users will find it a comfortable place to catch up on emails, though it is courteous to order regularly if you stay for a long time.
Bondi Coffee Kitchen suits solo travellers, digital nomads, couples and anyone who wants healthy food and good coffee in a relaxed setting. It is less suited to travellers looking for a traditional Moroccan experience; for that, head to the Habous or the old medina.
The café is on Rue Sebou, a short taxi ride from Mohammed V Square and the main sights of the city centre. Combine it with a morning at the Abderrahman Slaoui Museum or a stroll through Parc de la Ligue Arabe, or use it as a calm base before heading to the Central Market for lunch. Taxis are easy to find on the larger boulevards nearby.
