Seriously, does nobody work around here?
Somehow, the cafes in Israel are always hopping, no matter the time of day. I have always wondered (enviously) who these people are and why they don’t seem to have jobs. My imagination has begun to fill in the blanks in the hybrid reviews/stories below.
Hands on Deck
Katerina offers a relaxed atmosphere, fun cold drinks, and decent bites
Assorted Flavors
There’s a lot going on at Ikar Ha’aretz, visually, audibly, and gastronomically
Branching Out
Shusha feels like a local country spot, but with sophisticated flavor
Casual Color
Zariffa capitalizes on character and cultivates quality cuisine
Parking Spot
Siftach is a good grab-and-go option, but staying is nice too
Edging Forward
Café B’Rotem seems simple, it looks low-key, but wow!
Rising to the Occasion
A pastoral location with loads of seating ensures an idyllic repast at Ish Lehem
Behind the Glass
The hush at Talbiye Patisserie is the result of a cultured setting and quiet indulgence
Purple Haze
Come to Café Flora for the food, drinks and company, but don’t expect quiet
Better than at Home
Ofaimme’s fare is a bit rustic and full of flavor, featuring sustainability
No Holding Back
Elah Café B’emek has good food, a different setting, and sentiment
Coffee and Company
Cafe Emesh doesn’t stand out culinarily, but the coffee is great
Good Things in the Oven
Cafe Gan Sipur is a pleasant pocket in the park
Everything’s (Going to be) Fine
Nadi attracts plenty of patrons, although perhaps not because of the food
