LAS PALMAS CAFE

LAS PALMAS CAFE
Fez, Morocco

The Medina Doesn’t Care About You

Las Palmas Cafe sits right by the Blue Gate of Fez, where the old city exhales chaos nonstop. This isn’t a cafe you stumble into for “artsy vibe”. You come here because your feet are wrecked, you can’t stomach the smell of the tanneries any longer, the Medina just swallowed you whole, and you need a coffee now.

Outside, Fez is loud, dusty, relentless - donkeys squeezing by scooters, hustlers calling out, the same tourists lost walking by again. Inside Las Palmas, it’s a temporary ceasefire. Plastic chairs, scratched tables, zero aesthetic ambition, and honestly? What’s the point.

The coffee hits hard and does its job. Strong, bitter and unapologetic. No latte art, no origin story, just fuel. You sip while watching the Blue Gate breathe people in and spit them back out. Locals, travelers, annoying kids, old men staring holes through the day. Las Palmas Cafe sees everyone of you.
