Starbucks at Marrakech airport is the one place in the terminal that is open at any hour, which makes it the default stop for a 6 a.m. departure or a delayed midnight flight. It sits in the main terminal of Marrakech-Menara airport, on the main passenger route, and it is signposted clearly enough that you will not need to hunt for it.

What you can order
The drinks menu is the standard international one, so there are no surprises: espresso and its variations, classic cappuccino, latte, macchiato, and the seasonal specialty drinks that rotate through the year. Teas and hot chocolate are there for anyone who would rather skip the caffeine, and decaf is available on request.
Alternative milks — almond, soy, coconut and oat — are stocked, which is worth knowing if you have a dietary restriction and are about to spend six hours on a plane.
The food side
Beyond drinks there is a short but reliable food menu: sandwiches made on fresh bread, salads with vegetables and a protein, sweet pastries, cakes and muffins. It is not a full meal in the sense of a sit-down restaurant, but it is enough to see you through a medium-haul flight without relying on airline catering.
Working and charging before your flight
This is where the outlet earns its place. The Wi-Fi is free and good enough for email, messaging and video calls, and there are power sockets at several points in the seating area. The acoustics are better than you would expect for an airport café, so a call is realistic rather than merely theoretical.
For business travellers on a tight turnaround, this is the most practical corner of the terminal.
What travellers actually say
The outlet is rated around 3.9 out of 5 across the main review platforms, from more than 850 traveller reviews. The praise is consistent: drinks are the same quality you would get anywhere else in the chain, staff are courteous, and the Wi-Fi works.
The recurring complaint is equally consistent — it gets very busy during the morning peak and queues build up. Reviewers still credit the staff with moving quickly under pressure. If you are flying out between 6 and 9 a.m., allow a few extra minutes.
Prices, and whether it is worth it
Airport pricing applies, so a coffee costs noticeably more than the same drink in Gueliz or the medina. That is the trade for being open at four in the morning with a working socket next to your seat.
The practical way to think about it: if you are buying one coffee to drink while you wait, the difference against city prices is small in absolute terms. If you are feeding a family of four a full breakfast, it adds up quickly, and eating before you leave for the airport is the better call.
Dirhams in cash are accepted alongside cards. Keep a small amount of cash anyway — the taxi rank outside is not reliably card-friendly.
Frequently asked questions
Is Starbucks at Marrakech airport before or after security?
The outlet is in the main terminal on the main passenger route. If you want a coffee to drink while you wait at the gate, buy it after you clear security — and remember that liquids bought airside are fine to carry on board, unlike anything you bring from outside.
Is it open 24 hours?
Yes. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which makes it the reliable option for very early departures and late-night arrivals when most of the terminal is closed.
Is the Wi-Fi free?
Yes, and there are power sockets at several seats. The connection handles email, messaging and video calls comfortably.
Can I pay by card?
Yes, cards are accepted, as are dirhams in cash. It is still sensible to keep a small amount of cash for the taxi into town, since not all drivers take cards.
Are prices higher than in the city?
Airport prices are higher than in the medina or Gueliz, which is normal for any airport in the world. If budget matters more than convenience, eat before you head out.
Does Starbucks Marrakech airport have the same menu as elsewhere?
The core menu is the standard international one, so espresso drinks, teas and the seasonal specialty range are all there. Local outlets sometimes carry a slightly different food selection, but the drinks are what you would expect.
Can I get a seat at busy times?
Seating is limited and fills up during the morning departure peak. If you specifically want to sit and work, arriving outside the 6 to 9 a.m. window makes a real difference.
