Cafe Touba

Don't pass up the chance to try Cafe Touba, a typical coffee drink in which the beans are ground with djar, a type of black pepper, served black and with tons of sugar. It is said to have stomach-soothing effects, as well as aphrodisiac and even medicinal qualities, tasting both sweet and spicy. It can be bought at stands found throughout the city.
