update: فضاء سلا according to @WahbAllat

@liaizon @WahbAllat فضاء means space (as in, outer space). I don't recognize the word سلا though. It might be specific to their dialect, or just might be a person's name?

ok went to get a second coffee

Roi Dubois
Cafe • Coffee
omaps.app/4ne7hko321/ any suggestions for its #Arabic name?

Iron Curtain (Chiptunes)

@liaizon isn’t “Roi Dubois” French for “King of the forest”?

@IronCurtain translation isnt really appropriate for a place name tho. Should really be transliterated into Moroccan Arabic

@IronCurtain like if someone came to Casablanca and then asked for King of the Forest cafe there is no way for them to find it. But if they spoke "Dew Boys Coffee" they could probably find it eventually

6 dirham (0.60¢) for an espresso with milk to go. Can't complain!

I passed by it on my walk back my riad and worked up the nerve to just ask them what the name of the cafe is in Arabi and they replied "باموس قهوة" and then said in Spanish they called "Vamos Coffee" and I said shukran and walked away. About a block past they yelled for me to come back and demanded they take a picture of me in front of the cafe.
