The Boutique Pierre Herme Paris at Marrakech's La Mamounia is the chef-pastrymaker's only African outpost; macarons, Ispahan, and the Mamounia-only specials.
TipOpen to the public, not hotel guests only. Ispahan macarons and the rose-litchi cake are the bench-marks.
Bacha Coffee at Dar el Bacha in Marrakech sells pastries from a counter beside the salon: madeleines, sables, croissants paired with single-origin coffees.
TipClosed Mondays. Counter sales skip the dining-room queue; buy a box of madeleines to go.
Patisserie des Princes on Rue Bab Agnaou near Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fna runs an air-conditioned tea room behind the counter, daily from 06:00, since the 1990s.
TipPastries 14 to 18 DH, more expensive but cleaner than other medina cake shops. The back tea room is a heat refuge.
