Now in two homes · CLC & IFM

Order with your hands.

Some of the warmest conversations need no words at all. What began as one small pilot café at CLC has grown into two, Sign Café Marrakech now welcomes you at CLC and IFM, where a smile, a sign and a fresh cup of coffee are all you need to feel right at home.

“What a beautiful idea. I ordered a cappuccino entirely in sign language and the staff were so patient teaching me the gestures. The coffee was excellent and I left with a huge smile. The picture menu makes it easy for everyone. Will be back.”

“Stopped in on the IFM campus for a mint tea and stayed an hour. The msemen with honey is incredible and the whole place has such warmth. I caught the Saturday mini sign-language class, half an hour and I could finally say thank you with my hands. A genuinely special spot in Marrakech.”

“Lovely concept and the friendliest team, you can feel how much it means to them. Coffee was great and I loved learning a few signs. It got a little busy at peak time so we waited a few minutes, but honestly it was worth it. Such a meaningful place to support.”
