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.
Horsing Around
Go to SusCafe for the horses and flowers, not the food
Fairly Well Rounded
La Story has some hits and some misses, and is overall okay
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
A cultured setting and quiet indulgence bring on the hush at Talbiye Patisserie
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
