T1’s Café Ritazza sits landside, handy if you’re early or meeting someone before security at Mohammed V International Airport (CMN).
This is a straightforward coffee bar in Terminal T1, not a full restaurant. Expect espresso drinks, basic pastries, and pre-made sandwiches at typical airport prices, often around 30–50 MAD for coffee and 25–60 MAD for snacks. Seating is limited and more functional than comfortable, so think quick stop, not long layover camp.
Café Ritazza in T1 usually opens early in the morning to catch the first departures and stays open until evening, roughly aligned with peak flight banks. If you land in T1 from an overnight flight and want caffeine before passport control or baggage claim, this is one of the first names you’ll see. It’s also useful if your ride is running 20–30 minutes late and you need somewhere to wait inside.
Menu boards at Café Ritazza list standard cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso shots, plus bottled water and soft drinks, so you can grab a quick 0.5L bottle before heading to security. Food leans on croissants, muffins, and simple sandwiches kept in chilled displays. Quality is fine for a 1–2 hour layover, but nothing you’d plan a three-hour early arrival around.
Because Café Ritazza is landside in Terminal T1 and not in T2, it’s most useful if you’re flying airlines that check in at T1 or meeting someone arriving there. If your boarding pass shows T2, factor in the extra transfer time and don’t linger here too long. Lines spike around the 06:00–09:00 departure wave, so a basic coffee can take 10–15 minutes.
Tip: If your flight from T1 boards within the hour, grab a drink here and then clear security; airside options can be more crowded just before the big departure pushes.
