Café Baba

"Hidden within the winding alleys of Tangier’s Kasbah, Café Baba is a small yet iconic establishment that has been a symbol of the city’s bohemian spirit since 1943. Simple in decor but rich in atmosphere, this unassuming café has long attracted a mix of locals, travelers, and legendary figures drawn by its authentic charm. Among its most famous patrons were The Rolling Stones, who frequented Café Baba during the 1960s, captivated by Tangier’s mystique and the café’s laid-back ambiance. The walls are adorned with faded photographs and mementos, quietly telling stories of artists and free spirits who found inspiration here. Visitors to Café Baba can relax on traditional Moroccan benches, savoring a cup of mint tea or strong coffee, surrounded by an ambiance that feels untouched by time. The café’s enduring appeal lies in its authenticity—a place where the world’s creative souls once gathered, and where today’s travelers can still feel the echoes of Tangier’s storied past. For those seeking a genuine glimpse into the city’s cultural heritage, Café Baba offers an experience that’s as timeless as Tangier itself, making it a must-see destination for anyone exploring the soul of the Kasbah."
