One of the best coffee ☕️ in Israel
Cosy place with great food. We found it by chance in Google Maps and enjoyed very much having a lunch there. They have gluten free buns and kids menu.
We chose this restaurant on a whim as we walked down the road from the Prima Kings hotel, and it was worth it! The mini sized breakfast is large enough! Delicious food, good service and great music playing in the background.
Great cookies and coffee, pet friendly, great atmosphere, and the staff and Paz are lovely!
Not the best americano that I tried, but definitely worth to give a chance.
Pleasant to sit in that rather calm part of Dizengoff street.
Extra point for matcha cookie 🤤
Great coffee and good food. Only downside is the fact that it is impossible to sit there without inhaling cigarette smoke from neighboring tables.
great place. offers a few different spaces to hang, work, read a book quietly. high-end coffee beans. and perfect geographical spot. good job (:
Nice coffee break in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem
Delicious Israeli restaurant within walking distance from the hotels by the ocean in Tel Aviv.
The prices are a little up there, but the coffee’s celestial, so prepare yourself for a heavenly treat (; The servers were conveniently native speakers both in Hebrew & English. The menu had gluten free, vegan & de-caffe options. Overall A+
The food was terrible,embarrassing.
Mung beans undercooked.
Lasania was one sheet of pastry with salty cheese and coarse half tomatoes thrown on top.pesto stuck to the side of the dish.If it is not a lasania it should not be called that.
The cake was very good.
Ate at the restaurant several times. Very nice experience. Lovely area, central location. Food was very much up to par for the price you're paying.
The most amazing spot in the flea market for healthy, authentic Israeli, farm to table food. The original restaurant of the market with beautiful and quirky interiors (everything is for sale, just ask) and really cool and thoughtful staff. Great for people watching or catching up with friends.
The Café is in The Big Mall in Petah Tiqva. We ordered breakfast and it was nice and had a salad, two eggs and those little spreads u can see in the picture. Although it was Friday and the place was very busy, the service was very quick!
The only thing to comment is that the coffee was very small.
Very good pizza. Very nice staff, super helpful. Good prices
Nice place, great for both locals and tourists. Delicious food, friendly staff. Overall cozy feeling. Recommend.
I had a good salad over there..... Also the coffee was good..
Food tastes good and serving is good for sharing. We had 2 types of salad, and pad thai.
Oh, super nice.

Cozy, nice coffee, very tasty sandwiches (we tried salmon bagel and turkey)

Service is very friendly also!

Thanks!
Tasty and healthy food. Mostly deiry. Very interesting types of pastry, cheese and cheese combinations. Good coffe and fruit shakes.
Good service and vibe.
Super nice environment. A good garden.
There is free parking around.
Solid pizza and brilliant and friendly service
A gem of a place! Great food! Fresh ingredients and a service with a smile. Highly recommended!
Very nice independent hotel run by very friendly staff in beautiful old building located only a few hundred metres from Damascus Gate.
Would definitely stay there again.
From the food to the atmosphere this is a perfect hidden cafe. The food is simple and delicious which is enhanced by the eclectic atmosphere.
Stylish place with beautiful coffee. Gluten free cookie and bake option. We loved it so much we came back twice.
Nice food, bigger portions than you'd expect and I don't know what they do to the rice but its delicious. Good service and really good spot for people watching.
such a beautiful spot, beautiful decor, layout with outdoor dining and delicious food with staff. Reasonably priced and well worth the visit
Nice place in a quite area! The food is good and has many choices
Great pizza with a fantastic staff that really makes you feel welcome.
Wow. Fantastic outdoor seating area, amazing fresh food, super nice and friendly staff.
Hip place compared to all the boring falafel shops in Jerusalem. Reminds me of places back in Canada where us cool guys eat wearing our Blundstones. Schnitzel sandwich was good.
I liked the old fashioned style of the hotel. But the rooms are a little bit too 'rocky'. There are rock walls close to the bed and it's easy to hurt yourself. The restaurant is awesome! Gooood, delicious food!
Delicious diner for reasonable price in a nice mediteranion atmosphere. Only the tasty red wine was tooooo expensive...
A great restaurant with unique and special dishes, perfect service and the best chill atmosphere.
Perfect for dinner and drink.
Enjoy 😊
Wonderful food on a peaceful terrace in the shade of a giant tree.
Great service and delicious pizza. We ordered to eat in a large pizza and was more than enough for us (2 adults and 1 child). Only thing I'd suggest would be to have an infant chair, which is more or less a standard in a Restaurant. Otherwise, all was excellent.
Everything was great. Fantastic hospitality and the rooms design were unique and nice the beds was also comfortable. Decent breakfast. Amazing service, caring for everyone and very thoughtful. Haven’t seen a hotel service like this it’s been an amazing stay.
We had 2 great Saladts.
The fresh backed bread was a dream. They have great backery.
Nice atmosphere 👌
I was recommended this restaurant and so thought i would try it out - i was very pleasantly surprised by the setting, service and, of course, the food - which was incredibly nice (the aromatic herbed & spiced meat dish that came under a crust of pastry) and which i never actually ordered, but was glad i hadn't.
Certainly recommend.
We are always staying in this hotel in Jerusalem. It has a very friendly staff, great restaurant where you can also have a coffee or beer. Rooms are beautiful and in Palestinian style. The hotel is close to Damascus gate and the old city. Recommend for a stay in a place where you feel welcomed and at home.
What a lovely place this is to sit outside under the enormous tree, drink coffee, pet a cat, overhear conversations, watch people, eat, and just simple relax.

Granola was delicious and coffee wonderful.
Cosy authentic family runned hotel, close to the Damasque gates of Old City. Ideal location to explore Ierusalem. Nice Arabic cuisine in restaurant, open dayly by 10:30. Rooms have historical look, high ceilings, thick walls. Good sleep!
Visited during May 2023, circa 21:00. The place was crowded - you need to have a prior reservation, good sign for quality. They have sittings inside, outside and at the bar. Service an food is great. Highly recommended for a night mingling in Jerusalem.
Fantastic place, location and restaurant. Beautiful old style rooms with modern bathrooms and amenities. Raed, Rober and the staff treat you like royalty.
A small cafe, which is on the one hand in the center but at the same time in a quiet place. It is unlikely that tourists or random people go there. Despite the fact that we were on a Friday morning, there was a free seat and we sat pleasantly. Good, fast service and good cortado.
Great relaxing place to have Saturday morning coffee.
מומלץ.
Artichoke and zucchini salad was so beautiful, great juice and friendly staff 😀
Just two minutes walk away from the bustling Rothschild Street in Tel Aviv, Cafe 51 is an excellent speciality coffee shop. Choose from the home roasted coffee for either espresso, flat white, pour over & many other coffee beverages. To compliment the coffee try a fresh sandwich or delicious pastry. Located on the ground floor of a Tel Aviv apartment building Cafe 51 is a true "local" experience. Parking is made easy if you choose the parking lot across the road, a little expensive but worth it to save the bother of finding parking nearby.
Tucked away on a residential street, this is One of the better independent coffee shops in Tel Aviv. They serve proper 3rd wave light roasts made from carefully selected beans, and brewed scientifically . There's Friendly folk at the counter and plenty of rickety but comfy tables and chairs to help you enjoy your visit. Whilst Israel can be a bit of a dessert for the finest quality brews Coffee geeks wont be disappointed here
Cafe Puaa has a really cool vibe. It’s located in the heart of Yaffa and offers plenty of breakfast and brunch options.
Their pizzas are made using high-quality ingredients, and they offer a variety of toppings to suit different tastes. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
Customers have praised the restaurant for its delicious pizzas, speedy service, and reasonable prices. Many have also noted that the restaurant is kosher, which is important to some customers.
Overall, if you are in Tel Aviv and looking for a great pizza place, the small business pizza kosher from Tel Aviv Frishman is definitely worth a visit.
Indoor and outdoor cafe with pastries, several types of coffee and sandwiches.
Popular with locals who like to work or meet up with friends.
Has a bathroom and cold water tap
Get their KNAFE! Seriously one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Ordered the catch of the day - sea bass, a bit overpriced but rly tasty. Would also recommend their jasmine tea cocktail with lychee. Visit this place for the atmosphere, worth it.
Cozy and tasty! Welcoming and tourist friendly.
Great atmosphere in a magical location.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food! My girlfriend really loved the stuffed dried fruit! Said it was the best meal of her trip. Cocktails were good and the service was good too. I would definitely recommend and go back on our next trip.
You might think this place is a bit pretentious, but in fact, it backs up the wording with greatness. Every bit of food, every ingredient seems unique and well thought of. Service is also knowledgeable and kind. A gem.
The place to go if you like goat cheese. A nostalgic with a cool grunggy vibe. If you like that sort of thing you will come back again and again.
Very cozy café with various delicious cookie options and good coffee. A bit pricy but worth a visit if you are around.
We came back here couple of times during our holidays and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Great, cosy atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable staff, I would definitely recommend this place!!🤩
It may not seem like a descent place and makes you wonder why the heck I want to eat here....BUT, they have one of the best pizzas in TLV. Definitely recommend
Extremely cute little coffee place in the old city of Jerusalem with friendly service. They also have delicious gluten-free cookies and cakes as well as great coffee choices - totally recommended!
Visit: 01/01/2023
2 people for diner

PROS:
- good assort of food;
- the ambiance is very familiar and cozy
- they separate non-smokers from smokers, which helps a lot. The the fact that the snorkels are very close to the main door makes it not very workable;
- the gnocchi with pumpkin sauce I ordered was delicious, as was the dried fruits stuffed with lamb, that my friend had. The food was really good;
- the prices were on Tel Aviv average for this kind of restaurant

CONS:
- the waitress seemed not to be very happy. I felt her a little bit rude. Maybe some smile and kindness could made the experience a 5 star one
This was a great find went with party of 10 and got tables right away service was excellent, quality food, and great experience! We loved our dishes it was so enjoyable after the tour of the Bridge Tunnel!
Great place to sit, outlets for laptops, good for takeaway and there are also waiters.
It's possible to order at the cashier, then sit and not be served
I have visited this place several times a few years ago and was happy to return again.
It has become a much larger place, taking over a few of the places next door.
The design is still very hipster, 70s vibe, eclectic and lovely. Very popular among the tourists around the glee market.
The food is also still very tasty, but they did raise the rates quite a bit and for some of the dishes I do think the value for money is not great.
We got there in the evening, the host just looked at us and said "Just sit wherever" we waited a few minutes for the menus and the waitress, I ordered hot Chai, received a cold one even though the waitress asked me twice if I wanted it hot or cold.

Ravioli was not satisfying, I left hungry sadly, a bad experience.
Last time I sat there it was better, therefore the rating.
Great place to have a breakfast un Tel Aviv, you can even bring tour pet dog as they have a jar full of treats for them.
Food was good but not exceptional. I highly recommend the place as the staff if very friendly and welcoming.
Excellent place to have a good strong cup of coffee (or tea).
This place has a small variety of sandwiches and pastries but whatever we tried was unique and delicious.
There are several sitting areas with plenty of greenery around, some of them allow you to sit comfortably with your laptop. There is also a private area to park your bicycle.
The perfect place. I was in charge of finding the night’s fare in Jerusalem and was looking for a light menu with drinks….Cafe Yehoshua more than delivered! Inventive and delicious cocktails (Pink Lady which is on the dry side & Spicy Margarita-both fabulous!), shrimp in a garlic broth with vibrant tomatoes for an entree, veggie bowl and the chicken schnitzel. All delivered by lovely staff in a warm venue. This is a neighborhood gem as evidenced by the eclectic mix of patrons that streamed in over time.
I was drawn by a review that mentioned a light menu but they left out the decadent desserts….bring more friends or enjoy alone with stretchy pants🤭 but don’t miss out on this incredible cafe!
Lovely little coffee shop, the coffee was great and we liked the vibe and atmosphere. Didn’t get the chance to try the food this time but it looked fresh and yummy.
What an incredible experience. Kind, polite, fantastic service, some of the greatest coffee I have ever had, very good pastries. This coffee place is a must see.
The Rova Coffee House is a little gem hidden among the historic streets of Jerusalem. We were greeted by dedicated baristas with great enthusiasm for their profession. I ordered pour over coffee and the result was a round and slightly acidic cup of coffee - just what I wanted. They clearly know their processes. If you are a coffee lover or just want to have a good coffee experience, then The Rova Coffee House is the place for you.
The first problem is that there is no parking close to the cafe. The second problem was that, although I ordered a cup of coffee before the meal, the person who makes the coffee was taking a cigarette break, so I had to remind them that I ordered the coffee.

The food was good, but not exceptional so. The service needed to be better. When we asked for the bill, my wife wanted to ask for a toothpick but the waitress just dropped the bill on the table and disappeared. I had to get my wife a toothpick from another table.

We won't be back there any time in the future.
Love this place! Delicious food, you can taste, straight from the farm and awesome deli. Have a look around Hanson house if you need to wait for your table.
I'll start with the good, food's is fresh and tasty the staff is kind...

now the bad... I wanted coffee americano with cold soy milk on the side... they charge 3 shekels(!!!!) for COLD SOY MILK on the side !!!!!

No such charge exists for cow's milk... it is a special tax for those of us who can't digest or choose not to consume cow's milk
Cute small coffee shop in Dizengoff and Nordau street. Had oat milk latte. - coffee was just ok for me .
I came to do take away. Seemed clean. Staff on top of things. Kosher for. Passover, prime location. Wide verity of food. Yes would go back. Prices like any other caffe. Has food that good for kids too.
Located in the middle of Mamila -nice place, one area for sitting only, Passover menu was pretty impressive. Tasty and nice:)
Arcaffe is a popular cafe chain in Israel. Their coffee is my favorite of all the cafe chains in the country. They serve delicious pastries and a variety of sandwiches, salads, pastas and pizza’s. Their food is always fresh and tasty, a great place to grab a bite.

Not all Arcaffe’s have kosher certification so just make sure to check before you sit down to eat, if that is something important to you.

Hope to see you there 😍
Loved everything about cafe yehoshua. Loved the atmosphere, the service, the English breakfast with mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, potatoes and fried eggs, and of course delicious sausages. The benidict breakfast was also good. Last of all the music was perfect
Best pizza in Israel! It's real pizza! No msg! I lived in New York for 7 years, I know what I'm talking about. The dough could have been fresher and they could have been more generous with the chess but it is Israeli pizza after all.
Surprising place for casual breakfast. Was a pleasure to sit and eat while wife shopping
Went there twice, the food was great no questions, the chefs definitely know how to make really great dishes. The service however is always very slow and I had to go out of my way to find a waiter to take my order, give the bill and charge my credit card. Also there are no meals with included coffee so that's an extra charge. If the service was fast I'd give it a 5 star review
A cozy non-kosher cafe in Rehavia, Jerusalem with high quality homemade food, pleasant ambiance and smiling waitresses.
They have a business lunch 👉 order the main course and get the first one for free.
Discount on beer and wine during a lunch.

Customer Service - great
Wheelchair accessible
You must be vaccinated to enter the inner room .
Pricing is on the higher end but the quality of the food is good .
I would highly recommend this place
Public transportation there are many buses that go there
Nice and cozy local cafe.
Good food and service.
Interesting dining experience. Everything was great but the onion soup, which had to have been one of the worst onion soups I've ever had. But the salmon salad was big and great. They also forgot to serve the bread with the salad and when asked, took another 5-10 minutes to bring it out. Overall, it's an okay restaurant, but there are better options in Mamila.
מקום עם טעם של עוד!!! אוכל טעים שירות נהדר אוירה נעימה. הינו בבערב באויר ירושלמי נהדר נהננו מכל רגע.

Definitely a place we will come back to on our next visit to Israel. Yummy food, great service and atmosphere. We have been to few places in Jerusalem and this is for sure one of our top places: cool air condition inside or fresh Jerusalem air in the evening outside. We notified our waiter of a peanut allergy and they made us feel very secured and assured a safe meal.
Hated it. Ordered the beet starter and was very very lame. They graciously offered a replacement, so I ordered the Stone Roasted Veggies and the plate was even more disappointing. The onion was burnt to a crisp - black and charred. After telling the manager/owner he yelled at me for being picky. Not going there again!
Verdict: skip with prejudice.

Disclaimer: this my own experience; your own may differ.
We had a somewhat late lunch. The service is good, the waitresses are helpful and friendly.
I've had the chestnut ravioli in a mushroom cream sauce, while she had the "Dandos" salad.
The ravioli felt mushy and may have been overcooked. The mushrooms slices were not fully cut, and several slices clunked together across the dish.
The salad did not feel overly fresh, and we've found a chunk of tomato with rotten puncture on the skin. The fried haloumi in the salad had a weird taste to it I unfortunately cannot properly describe.
The worst part of my experience was around the coffee - I've ordered the affogato, which, for some reason is offered with three scoops of ice cream (good) and whiskey (not good). The seeming person in charge assured me this is an afogatto.
Don't get me wrong, I am far from an expert on drinks. But even a cursory look through Google shows that afogatto includes only espresso and vanilla ice-cream, and in addition could contain liquor (usually chocolate). There is indeed an Irish afogatto, that includes whiskey, but it is clearly designated as "Irish".
We were charged NIS 65 for one cappuccino and one afogatto + tip, making this either the most expensive cups of coffee I've had, or nearly so. The lunch itself (excluding the coffee) cost NIS 151 (including the tip).
The experience is hardly worth it, the food unfortunately is not up to standards, and while the service staff is friendly, this is hardly worth your money.
We've ordered pizza and garlic bread home.
First, it took them a hour and 10 minutes to deliver the order. We live 5 minutes away by foot.
Second, the garlic bread on their site looks like this (picture added). But it actually looks like the other photo added... And it tastes like monosodium glutamate.
And best for last, it arrived cold.
Definitely not recommended.
Awesome and lovely service. The owners are real sweethearts. There is also great coffee and the best rugelach and cinnamon bun I have ever had.
If you’re in for something more “foody” get their Salmon and Fried Egg Croissant.
Dogs welcome!
This is my first visit to this cafe. We came for a meeting and for this purpose the place is a good one. A little off center and quiet. Parking space was a struggle and service was slow. The coffee shop has nice vibes but the food and drinks were a letdown.
I had an unfortunate racial incident here with a bunch of Israeli youth taking unwanted photos but the female server on duty handled it professionally. Left with a sour taste in my mouth but the iced coffee is decent too.
Calm comfortable neighborhood Cafe. Their Banana crumble is a decadent indulgence, enough for 2 people. Good coffee. I will come back.
-We got the "Mashke Alifut" (משקה אליפות) in a smaller glass than what's shown in the menu and what we indeed got a few weeks ago in another branch
-service was a bit slow even though the waiters were very nice. For the food arrived a while before the drinks which we had to ask for several times
-Members get very nice discounts
-Tablet menu is nice!
