This boutique-cum-cafe is a good place to take a break with a fresh juice or smoothie and a bite from the vegetarian-friendly chalkboard menu, before stocking up on homemade jams, organic olive oil and Sidi Yassine’s ethical argan oil. It also stocks covetable homeware from the likes of La Verre Beldi and the cooperative Arts Tissage Tam's cushions and throws.
