Ukiyo, Japanese café and creative space in Casablanca
Ukiyo is a Japanese-inspired café located at 17 rue Bab Al Mandab in Casablanca. The concept is unique in the city: a space that combines specialty coffee, minimalist Japanese aesthetics and a creative atmosphere. The name, borrowed from the Japanese concept of the "floating world," sets the tone — you come here to disconnect from daily life.
The menu centers on carefully prepared hot drinks: matcha latte in all its forms, specialty coffees, hojicha latte and Japanese teas. On the food side, you'll find Japanese-inspired pastries (mochi, Japanese cheesecakes, dorayaki) and a few light savory options. Ingredients are carefully selected and preparations are visually polished — the kind of place where every drink is Instagram-worthy.
The interior is minimalist and sleek, with natural materials (light wood, ceramics) and soft lighting. The space is air-conditioned with reliable Wi-Fi, making it a favorite workspace for Casablanca's freelancers and creatives. The atmosphere is calm and studious on weekdays, more social on weekends.
Rated 4/5 on Google with over 570 reviews, Ukiyo has found its audience among specialty coffee and Japanese culture enthusiasts in Casablanca. An unusual address for a matcha break or a quiet afternoon of work.
