La Villa Fez Bakery Cafe is a relaxed bakery and cafe at 117 Boulevard Bahnini in Hay Riad, part of Fès Ville Nouvelle in Morocco. Unlike the medina restaurants, it sits in the modern French-built city, which makes it a practical choice for coffee, breakfast or a western-style meal away from the old city's lanes. The menu centres on fresh pastries, brunch plates, salads and pasta, with coffee and fresh juices as the main drinks. Pastries are the emblematic draw, and the cafe suits visitors wanting croissants or a light bakery breakfast before heading into the medina. The room is casual and bright, popular with local residents and visitors, and noise levels are moderate during the late-morning rush. There is no dress code. The cafe opens daily from morning until late evening, and the listed phone number is +212 5 35 60 44 66. Prices are moderate, about 80-180 MAD per person. Reservations are not needed under normal conditions. Hay Riad is a residential and commercial district, so the cafe is easily reached by petit taxi and parking on the street is feasible, unlike near the medina gates. It works well as a base for working on a laptop, meeting someone, or taking a rest between sightseeing days, and it provides a wider range of vegetarian and international options than most traditional Fès restaurants. Alcohol is not a feature of the menu.
