Shopping for Groceries, Coffee, and Spices: how it works in Mauritius — first-hand

Short answer
Purchase coffee at major supermarket chains like Jumbo or Super U for better prices, as local markets can be significantly more expensive. For vanilla, avoid buying at hotels and choose major supermarkets instead, while fresh produce in Flic-en-Flac is best sourced from the vendors by the Dodo statue roundabout.

From real experience

Good quality coffee (beans or ground) can be purchased at a big grocery supermarket within Cascavelle Mall for approximately 300 MUR.
The same coffee might be sold at Port Louis market for a significantly higher price, around 800 MUR. It is advisable to compare prices at different locations.
