The 12 Best Bakeries In Casablanca Morocco

Patisseries are an integral part of Morocco’s culinary tradition, and your trip is not complete until you visit one of the many bakeries Casablanca has to offer. However, if you want to try a local delight, the difficult part will be deciding which spot to visit first.

Bakeries in Casablanca are known for their local ingredients, such as almonds and dates, and their French-influenced pastries. In Morocco, it is common to have pastries served during breakfast as well as tea time, and they are a popular delicacy at weddings and during public holidays.
