Café Houssine sits quietly along a river in the village of Dr Aguersoual, a short hike from Imlil and Asni, offering a calm retreat from the busier spots around Marrakech. This café is less about rushing through a quick coffee and more about settling in, whether you’re taking a break from trekking the nearby trails or simply escaping to a peaceful spot for a while.

The heart of the experience here is the coffee—particularly the cappuccino, which draws praise for its balance and quality, a rare find in a mountain village setting. Visitors often linger for hours, sinking into the relaxed atmosphere that’s enhanced by the gentle sound of the river nearby. The seating options are varied, with spots shaded under trees or in open air, making it a versatile place for a quiet moment alone or a low-key meet-up with friends.

Beyond coffee, the café offers simple snacks, fresh mint tea made from herbs grown on-site, and cold drinks – a practical refreshment mix for hikers and locals alike. Owner Hussein’s welcoming presence defines the place; he creates an environment that feels more like visiting a friendly neighbor’s home than a typical roadside stop. His attentiveness and warmth help visitors feel at ease, encouraging lingering conversations and a slower pace.

This café naturally attracts those who appreciate nature and authentic local interaction—travelers trekking through the Atlas Mountains, readers looking for a serene spot, or anyone seeking a break with genuine hospitality. Visits in the morning or early afternoon work best to enjoy the soft light over the river and the peaceful vibe before later busier mountain groups arrive.

Do not miss this cafe. Has one of the best cappuccinos in Morocco, not to mention an amazing view. I sat for hours reading my book and enjoying the atmosphere. Hussein is such a lovely and welcoming guy. They also have snacks and chocolates as well as cold drinks and fresh mint tea right from the garden. Thank you!!

I stopped at this café by the river and it was such a lovely experience. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with beautiful views that make it the perfect spot to take a break. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The drinks were fresh and well-prepared, and you can really tell they care about quality. Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee, a refreshing juice, or just a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the view, this café is a wonderful choice. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We stumbled upon Cafe Hussein in Aguersioual and are so glad we did! This place is an absolute delight. The star of the show is Hussein, the owner. He is without a doubt one of the warmest, friendliest, and most welcoming people we met on our entire trip. His fantastic energy and genuine kindness instantly make you feel like an old friend stopping by for a visit. We enjoyed the most delicious and refreshing coffee while soaking up the incredible setting right next to the babbling river. It's the perfect, peaceful spot to relax and watch the world go by. The location is super convenient right on the road, but it feels a world away from any hustle and bustle. If you need a moment of pure joy and a great cup of coffee, you must stop here. Thanks for everything, Hussein! We can't wait to come back.
