Avihail Cafe

I had a good salad over there..... Also the coffee was good..

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.

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

Nice and cozy local cafe.
Good food and service.

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.

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.

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.

Calm comfortable neighborhood Cafe. Their Banana crumble is a decadent indulgence, enough for 2 people. Good coffee. I will come back.
