Finding something sweet in the middle of the night is tricky in Marrakech: most creperies and tea salons close early. Kuma Lounge, in Gueliz near the Majorelle Garden, serves crepes, waffles, milkshakes and ice cream until 6am, at gentle prices.
Why is sweet stuff so hard to find late in Marrakech?
Sweet cravings don't send a warning. Trouble is, in Marrakech the creperies, ice cream shops and tea salons mostly close early evening. Past midnight, tracking down a warm crepe or a milkshake gets hard. You end up settling for a vending machine, or nothing at all.
The sweet snacks you actually want at night
At night you're not always after a proper meal. You want comfort: something warm, indulgent, easy to share. Here are the classics that hit best at that hour:
- The Nutella crepe (or Nutella-banana): the safe bet, warm and gooey.
- The loaded waffle: crisp, drizzled with chocolate or caramel, topped with whipped cream.
- The house milkshake: thick and creamy, vanilla, chocolate or fruit.
- The ice cream sundae: three scoops, sauce and whipped cream, a soft landing.
