Pastries to rival any respectable Parisian patisserie. Better than most in fact. Coffee and ambiance are great with street facing outdoor seating. Service leaves something to be desired at times, but you'll forgive them after you taste the pain au chocolat, or really anything else. Other food offerings are fairly average(+), but I can't think of a better pastry shop in Israel. Takeaway pastry and coffee available at counter inside.
Food at 3.5-5 stars. The employs act to fancy. But it's a very good place for coffee & cake.
Good food. They make fantastic Cronuts (croissant donuts) in December.
Has a wonderful vibe.
Dropped in on a short trip from Gabriella cafe, grabbed a pastry and a iced coffee here and had a nice desert on the way back to the hotel. Very kind wait staff and great coffee & pastry. Would return without question.
This place was great! We went there because it was one of the few places that opened earlyer for breakfast. The food and service were great! Great pastries and coffee. Had the breakfast eggs special which was a whole meal with eggs, great bread, an assortment of cheeses, olives, etc., a really good Israeli salad (better than your standard Israeli salad) coffee and juice. The waitress was very helpful and didn't have to wait for anything. I strongly recommend.
We had a short stop at this place. The cafe was packed n we only had a table outside. My guys enjoyed Ravioli and Pumpkin Soup as I was happy with my salad. Sadly, we had a reservation for Gourmet Restaurant Mona that evening so that I couldnt get some pastry to go. They did look alluring.
The service was friendly.
This place is a kosher place n closed at Shabbat.
Fantastic place. Feels authentic amazing atmosphere and real cafe food which is delicious. Highly recommended!
Been here many times. Great location. I do love coming here bec it's got that Parisian-Israeli vibe. Pleasant atmosphere but typical nonchalont Israeli service. Gets very crowded inside. And in the winter the heat is so high it's unbearable. The welcome is confusing bec if you ask where to sit, they just give u a face like, sit wherever, why are you asking me attitude. But when you don't ask, you can be ignored for a long time without notice or told not to sit down.
This is a good brunch place but not enough lunch/dinner options. I come here for the same dish again and again, the beet pancakes, their best actual unique dish. Over the last year I've noticed worse service and cheaper and lazy food preparation. They used to serve the beet dish with a salad that was dressed beautifully and the beet pancake cooked perfectly. But now it's served practically raw (based on several instances). In the past, there'd be extra yogurt and extra dressing on the side. Now, hardly any dressing and I have to run after the waitress so I can ask for dressing, yogurt, and anything else they "forgot". By that time, the dish is cold. So when I order, I have to make a list of all the "additions" I want which makes me look like a demanding patron. I've seen this happening in other restaurants in Jerusalem as well. This is 100% management. I've ordered some desserts and was unimpressed. Too sweet and stale. I want to love this place but find myself going less and less. I want this restaurant to do well so I'll keep going but management needs to tweak the service. And a few more menu options would be great.
Superb cakes. Attentive and nice waiters. The coffee is good. This place feels like a nice memory from Paris that found its way to Jerusalem.
