Cafelix - Jaffa — Restaurant in Tel-Aviv

A magical place for coffee lovers.

The best place, in my humble opinion, to get yourself some fresh, top quality coffee (and maybe something sweet as well :).

They have all kinds of coffee beans, from all over the world, and some blends as well. They make all espresso-based drinks, as well as v60, Cold brewed coffee, Nitro and Arabic style coffee, of course. Furthermore, if you want to brew it yourself at home, they can grind it for you, on the spot, for whichever brewing method you desire!

Admittedly, the shop is tiny and has few places to sit in inside. But, on the other hand, you can always take your coffee outside and sit on one of the numerous benches, right next to the park beside the shop. I imagine it's especially nice for the perents out there, who just want a moment or two to relax, while their children are playing in the park.

Other great things, just as the icing on the cake: The service (nice and warm, cool people), the music (changing styles, depending on the barista, but always extremely good), the atmosphere (chill, and simple, but in all the right ways).

Walked in with high hopes… with great reviews on here, maybe my expectations were too high. Food: the pastries are terrible. Not tasty at all. We tried two different kinds and were disappointed by both. Service: the barista told me she couldn’t make my coffee hot, only lukewarm as this is “the rule” by the owner so the sugars are still in the milk. Haven’t they learned that the customer is always right and if the customer likes hot coffee, they should get hot coffee? The coffee was lukewarm, and tasted like rubber. I figured I’d try it their way and maybe be positively surprised, but no. Coffee cooked on a rock would’ve tasted better. Atmosphere: bland at best. NO WIFI. No interesting art on the walls. Just repeated posters about the coffee making process. I get that it’s a coffee shop, but maybe put a little charm into it. Industrial in the worst sense (crumbling walls, exposed). Hard seats, no comfort. Benches and plastic chairs. Sad excuse for a hipster coffee shop. You can be snobby and hipster only if your coffee is THAT...

Probably the best consistent coffee in Tel Aviv, if not Israel. You can get a lovely cortado, and a delicious cold drip coffee made quite nicely (the only other cold brew coffee I've found in Israel so far has been nitro, which has beer-y taste I'm not into). They have this pistachio cake that is really fantastic. There's also a nice playground across the street that is great for kids. We enjoy coming here. Most of the employees who have waited on us have been kind and friendly. But on our most recent visit, we had the unfortunate experience of having a super annoying, holier-than-thou hipster attitude-y employee serve us. I really don't understand how someone can be hired to work at a place who is rude, full of eye rolls (and also misinformation - when asked a question he gave a wrong answer), and also bites his nails (!) in front of the customers. Have everyone as knowledgeable and friendly as the other employees and I'd have...
