Café Hafa

I recently visited Café Hafa in Tangier to try a local mint tea on a friend’s recommendation. The view was absolutely beautiful and the seating was very comfortable, even though the café was quite busy. Unfortunately, I did run into a small issue: when I paid the server, he mentioned he'd go get change but never returned. Even though it was a small amount, it left a bit of a negative impression. So my tip would be to try to pay the exact amount if you can, just to avoid any hassle. This might just be a one-off incident and not reflective of the entire establishment, but it does affect the overall reputation of the place.

Nice venues with wonderful views of the sea. Very touristic and busy. Shame that only few staff attend, mostly offering green tea to everybody but if you order something else (food or another drink) must wait for very long. In my case, we left after 45 minutes of waiting for couple of juices. We enjoyed the views though.

This is one of the oldest cafes in Tangier and is located in the Medina. The Cafe has an excellent position overlooking the Straits of Gibraltar and with a view of the Spanish coast. They offer both food as well as a varied selection of coffees, tea's and soft drinks. The location is great for enjoying drinks with friends and enjoying the great views. It is also a great location for photo opportunities. The Cafe Hafa is a must visit if you are ever in Tangier.

I visited Café Hafa in the old city of Tangier two weeks ago. The location is excellent, with a stunning view of the sea right in front and fresh, clean air. The drinks are very good, and the café has a unique and relaxing atmosphere. However, the prices are a bit high compared to other cafés in the area. The place was very crowded, and we only managed to get seats with some effort. Most of the visitors were tourists, but there were also locals enjoying the café. One downside is that there are no nearby parking options, which makes it slightly inconvenient if you are driving. Overall, despite the high prices and crowd, I really enjoyed the view and atmosphere, and it is definitely worth visiting if you are in Tangier.

Important point: Only accepts cash, no cards. Excellent view of the Mediterranean Sea. Lovely outdoor seating areas spread out across different sections. Food is below average but the mint tea is very good. Service is ok and you can see waiters running around up and down the stairs with huge trays of mint tea. While I was there at 5 pm, a very large group of about 60 Chinese tourists came in. Their guide or group leader kept talking to them in Chinese using a loudspeaker and ruined the entire atmosphere for everyone. They all had audio guides in their ears. So not sure why the cafe allowed such microphones/ loudspeakers.

Tbh I went there as per google recommendation and travel blogs, but i understand the hype now. Amazing sea facing view and a great vibe. We went in the evening when it got dark but I wish I went there in the morning .there is plenty of place to sit . I ordered mint tea which was okay but the veg panini was excellent ( just the right amount of crisp and full of cheese and veggies) . I was already full hence didn’t order much , just had a light snack and went for the view . But 10/10 for the view, cost effectiveness and the food. Highly recommended . The only thing they can improve upon is cleanliness . Also because it’s a huge place, there was a delay in taking the order but otherwise the staff was quite friendly . Will definitely go again if I visit tangier in future.

This was the famous hangout spot for the Beatles! Fantastic views! If you could get past the hygienic then you'll enjoy the food there. Their chicken Shawarma was amazing. Their pita bread was insanely good. Flaky and crispy on the outside and buttery delicious on the inside paired perfectly with their special sauce. Fries were bland though. Cheap price too! I ate their twice!

Great for what it is! If you want to see and enjoy the view for an hour or two and sip a mint tea it’s awesome! It probably took them 45 minutes to talk to us an another 30 to bring us the mint tea but it was delicious. We were relaxing before heading to the airport and reading separate books and the vibes here were great for that! Don’t be afraid to walk in and grab a table without talking to someone. And definitely table hop until you get the view you deserve!
