There is a nice outdoor cafe just below the Maison de Culture. This is in a great spot on the edge of the oasis and there are nice views of the Kasbah across the street. This seemed to be a very popular spot with young Tunisian couples. Many cafes in Tunisia are men-only places (not so much br rule as by custom) and places where both sexes could mix easily were much less common.

Gafsa doesn't get too many tourists so prices are often lower than in other cities.
