Our story
Wholesome, never joyless.
Hassna is a fitness coach who loves good food. She opened LAMMĀ in the Essaouira medina to serve the breakfast she wants to eat herself.
Every pancake is made to order, with fresh fruit and a sauce she makes herself; the coffee is 100% Arabica, with oat milk for anyone who asks. Most mornings you'll find her behind the bar — come for a cup, stay for the conversation.

The place
Sage walls, oak tables and a rattan lamp inside; outside, stools on the street by the blue medina doors — and usually a cat or two.

The first day we arrived to Essaouira, we found this nice & cute little Coffee & Pancake place.
We tried the Blueberry Pancake & the Banana one, OMG they are the best pancakes I’ve ever had, they come with a lovely sauce.
I’ve been literally going the 4 days I’ve stayed in Essaouira to get my banana pancakes 🥞😋
Also lovely coffee and chai, cute place and nice staff!!

Very pretty café in Essaouira with a rustic feel. The food was really nice and clearly made from local ingredients. The staff were excellent, and the customer service was great. The coffee, including the oat milk option, was some of the best around. Plus, sitting outside along the street made it even nicer.
