    Been there many times. They serve decent breakfasts with an extensive menu of various dishes. My food is always amazing, setting incredible and service was faultless. Prices and portions represent good value for money. I’d like to thank the awesome people working there, especially the young women (Fatima and Fatima-Zehra). Will definitely come again and recommend you for everyone.

    Really bright atmosphere and friendly service. Food, on the other hand, is not worth the European costs. The presentation was lovely, but the diversity of components inside the smoked salmon bagel was nothing spectacular. Brunch + coffee/tea + orange juice set receives a thumbs up.

    Best cafe in town! Delicious and healthy food options (plus yummy treats) and lovely decor. Friendly staff and a neat selection of books. I highly recommend the carrot cake 😋

    Absolutely yummy food! We had the quesadilla and the tofu wok. They had run out of tofu but gave me a whole avocado instead which was delicious. If you can, go sit upstairs, there is only a handful of seats but a great view onto the street. The Moroccan coffee with spices was very nice too! Staff was helpful and friendly.

    So good to see this cafe open again. Excellent food and drinks and terrific, friendly and helpful service. I've eaten here several times, and it's always an enjoyable experience. The menu items make a lovely change from tagines and couscous.

    The place I found peace, laughed, cried and had fun with my travel buddies. The place 3 strangers bonded with a cup of hot chocolate and became friends. Mandala Society staff are extremely friendly and caring. The food is delicious 😋 and the ambience makes you wanna sit for a little longer. I had hot chocolate and was filled with emotions , it was surely the hot chocolate and the ambience. Only wish if they accept card payment as the entire morocco drained me of my cash.

    Exceptional food. Steering away from the touristy fare at so many places in Essaouira, Mandala is making beautiful, delicious and healthy food with an inspired menu featuring clean, vibrant flavor. From coffees to teas to Golden Milk, there is a drink for every palate. The food presentation is pure artistry, the relaxing atmosphere is accented by great music, and the staff is cheerful, welcoming, and accommodating.

    We had an amazing savoury lunch board here. The staff was so kind and friendly and every single dish we saw looked delicious. We ate upstairs with a view of the action below and had a wonderful time.

    Great menu with an interesting variety. Excellent coffee, just too small the glass for the price on my opinion.... Beautiful presentation, good quality. I had the avocado toast for breakfast, really yummy! My partner took salmon bagel also super good. The staff was very kind, professional and attentive. Owners are lucky to have this girl working there. I totally recommend it if you look for something more modern and different than usual Moroccan breakfast or lunch.

    The Mandala Society in Essaouira is an absolute gem! From the warm, welcoming ambiance to the delectable cuisine, it's a 5-star experience. The dishes are bursting with flavors, beautifully presented, and cater to various dietary preferences. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Don't miss this culinary delight in Essaouira!

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 10 months ago on Google
    Really delicious and unique food! A bit pricey compared to food in the Essaouira Medina, but worth it. We had amazing lattes, avocado toast, chia chia pudding, and spiced Moroccan coffee. Best coffee I had in Essaouira by far! The staff was welcoming and friendly— very accommodating. I love that they provide healthy yet delicious options. They provided gluten and dairy free options as well. Overall, we really enjoyed it and recommend Mandala Society Essaouira.

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot. Love the space, friendly staff and food. We've had the salty board for two, avocado on toast, salmon bagel, veggie bowl (just ok), carrot cake (nice and spicy) and espresso, cappuccino (best coffee we've found in Essaouira) and chai. Recommend!

    Everything about Mandala Society is excellent. It’s some of the best service you’ll find in the city, if not the country. They’re incredibly friendly there, and the whole team feels like a family. We’ve been for breakfast and again for lunch. For breakfast we had the Breakfast Burger and also Farm Egg Toast. For lunch, we both had the Quesadillas. All fantastic, as was the Moroccan Tea, cappuccino and iced latte. The location is great as it’s on the Main Street in the Medina, meaning you’re within easy reach of the sellers. There’s actually a terrace right at the top which we didn’t know about the first time, but it was a great spot for anyone wanting some air. I’d recommend this place to anyone. For those who are inclined towards a vegan diet, you’ll find no shortage of choices here.

    what a nice place :) I’m really happy that they serve muesli and other alternatives to Moroccan food. The bowl is fine, it just might need more cereals on top, because halfway through the meal, all is left is the smoothie. Ask the waiter :)

  • 5/5 Hassan R. 6 months ago on Google
    Our favourite spot in Essaouira, one that we kept coming back to during our week-long visit to the city. Everything I ate and drank was delicious, the Wi-Fi was fast and great for getting some work done, it’s a lovely spot to sit and people watch, and the staff are so lovely. Thank you for making us feel at home in Essaouira and making our trip such a memorable one!

    This is a very cute place with nice vegetarian options! Very accommodating to swap side dishes for something I liked more, decent flavors, lovely service.

    We were here everyday during our stay in Essouira. Coffee was very good. I liked also the design and climate of the place.

👍👍 One of the best places to go to for a chilled afternoon/sunset time! You’re on the beach, enjoying the sunset while listening to music, prices are fair, yes service is not the fastest but you can go to the bar and ask, that didn’t bother us too much. What you see is what you get :)
