👍👍 Great hidden cafe in the center of the city. As you pass there you barely notice the place. They have delicious small sandwiches and very good coffee.

    A sweet and lovely neighberhood cafe to enjoy light food and a cup of coffee :) It is located at a rather quieter street, almost hidden, under a building. Sitting is a bit limited, only outside. Service is friendly and efficient. Food served is mainly consisted of sandwiches and salads (quite small portioned) and there's gluten free options. We really enjoyed our visit:)

    A nice café hidden in the green entrance of an apartment building. Nice coffee and a very nice choose of sandwiches.

    Amazing place, hidden from the eye, in a beautiful garden. Small crowded place but definitely worth it! The open sandwich was great! Coffee was small but wonderful. Service was Tel avivian :)

    One of my favorites! Delicious food, excellent coffee, amazing neighborhood atmosphere and pleasant staff. It's always fun to come, sit to the bar, drink coffee and read a newspaper.

    Crowded and the food wasn’t that good to justify it. Chairs wobble. Service was not attentive at all but friendly. Wouldn’t go back, at least not on Friday.

    Good coffee, good food, reasonable price in a home like place. If you look for something fancy look elsewhere , if you want a simple good service and pleasant place with limited privacy this is the place. Wish there where more like this around.

  • 3/5 Neta R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything is perfect in this cafe except for some prices (for example), for example, I think it is delusional to take 18 NIS on a slice of ridiculously sized orange pie (unless oranges cost over 20 NIS per kilo, but that doesn't happen in Tel Aviv). I bought, was surprised by the size of the piece they gave me, commented on it (no reference at all) and went - note it was really tasty but next time it won't be. (Original) הכל מושלם בבית קפה הזה חוץ ממחירים (מסויימים), למשל נראה לי הזוי לקחת 18₪ על פרוסת עוגת תפוזים בחושה בגודל מגוחך (אלא אם כן תפוזים עולים מעל 20₪ לקילו אבל גם בת״א זה לא קורה). קניתי, הופתעתי מהגודל של החתיכה שנתנו לי, הערתי על זה (לא היתה התייחסות כלל) והלכתי - יש לציין שהיה טעים ממש אבל פעם הבאה לא תהיה.

    Great neighborly cafe,with delicious cakes and pastries. The coffee and tea selection is also excellent! Great place for having coffee with friends, or bringing the kids for lunch.

    (Translated by Google) Reasonable food .. Feels like being in the lobby of a building, a little weird. (Original) אוכל סביר.. מרגיש כמו להיות בלובי של בניין, קצת מוזר.

    (Translated by Google) A cafe in a nice neighborhood atmosphere. Stews, excellent pastries. Everything is fresh and everything is made in the place. There is no background music and so you can hear the birds in the middle of TA. The coffee is good too! (Original) בית קפה באווירה שכונתית נחמדה. תבשילים, מאפים מעולים. הכל טרי והכל נעשה במקום. אין מוזיקת רקע וכך אפשר לשמוע את הציפורים באמצע ת''א. גם הקפה טוב!

    Cute little coffee shop. Went here on a Friday morning before a show at the Cameri. Chill vibe and nice food. Hidden gem.

    Cafe full of magic in the middle of the city - one of my favorite spots, with simple & fresh food, warm staff, and a secret garden atmosphere. The best!

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 4 years ago on Google
    A cosy place for Friday mornings. Just be sure to be there early before the rush of the parents who just put their kids in school and looking to get the most of their heavenly time.

  • 5/5 Elad C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For those of you interested .. A home cafe but on a level in one of the alternative and quiet streets that emerge from Ibn Gvirol. Fair prices and fresh and original dishes. Often busy. (Original) למביני עניין.. בית קפה ביתי אך על רמה באחד הרחובות האלטרנטיביים והשקטים שיוצאים מאבן גבירול. מחירים הוגנים ומנות טריות ומקוריות. עמוס לעיתים קרובות.

  • 4/5 Tessa S. 4 years ago on Google
    Neighbourhood coffee spot in the truest sense. Kind staff, small, intimate but not stifling. Great coffee and pastries. Love the location!

  • 3/5 Daniel E. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    The place is great, a gem in one of the most pleasant neighborhoods in the city center. The main caveats are the prices (48ils for one slice of toasted bread with a spread?) and the fact they don’t allow to pay by cash - just by credit.

  • 4/5 Ron S. 2 years ago on Google
    On Friday morning it was super crowded and unorganized. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated and then rushed off. Noisy - I do not know who thought it was an intimate Cafe? The iced coffee and the coffee "hafuch" and sandwiches were tasty. Eh

  • 5/5 Avital E. 2 years ago on Google

    Went there in the afternoon. Quiet and cozy. Staff are very kind. I recommend trying their cold tea with rose water water hibiscus, very refreshing.

  • 5/5 Mireille S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool place, relaxed and comfy, your perfect neighboorhood cafe! The coffee is tasty, the menu is interesting (not the classic conventional same dishes as everywhere), a really good place to hang out, read your book, or get some work done

  • 3/5 Epolina 3 years ago on Google
    I hesitated between 3 and 4 stars. I came here for a lunch after looking at reviews and their Instagram. On insta they have such a nice photos of interesting dishes, in the reality the menu was very poor, with few items missing. Having no choice, I ordered batata salad, that was nice, would add something sweet or nuts, something was missing. The biggest disappointment was coffee, I expected coffee spot to have better coffee. I ordered americano in a takeaway cup that was very small, only one size and watery, I believe it is overpriced, 11nis for such a tiny cup. The place itself is very cozy.

  • 5/5 Itamar R. 1 year ago on Google
    I hesitate writing this review, as this is the best kept secret in town and perhaps shouldn't be revealed... What a unique little café, embedded in a residential building close to kikar Rabin and the Tel Aviv museum area. Wonderful food, wonderful service and a feeling of an oasis in the middle of hectic Tel Aviv.

  • 5/5 Roi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food: tasty and most importantly - clean. Different atmosphere than your typical Tel Avivian coffee shop, great people and nice staff. Try the salmon on a bread (not the baguette).

  • 1/5 גיל להב - סיורים �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really liked and appreciated Cafe Yael. To me it was special. Today is a very weak experience. A portion of bland chicken patties. Patty not soft as promised. Came lukewarm. A dish comes without rice and has not been said before. Weak service. The water came after the meal. And more. There is no managerial hand. I was taken aback. Especially from someone who is smart and valued in the field of food. This review is temporary only for the visit and tasting of the day only. (Original) אהבתי והערכתי מאוד את קפה יעל. בעיני היה מיוחד. היום חוויה חלשה מאוד. מנת קציצות עוף תפלה. קציצה לא רכה כמובטח. הגיע פושר. מנה מגיעה בלי אורז ולא נאמר לפני. שרות חלש. המים הגיעו אחרי האוכל. ועוד. אין יד ניהולית. התבאסתי. במיוחד ממישהי שהיא חכמה ומוערכת בתחום האוכל. ביקורת זאת היא זמנית רק לביקור ולטעימה של היום בלבד.

    (Translated by Google) The neighborhood cafe. Very tasty food, a bit crowded and not the most comfortable to sit if there is no room at the table, but overall a pleasant and recommended place. (Original) הקפה השכונתי. אוכל טעים מאוד, קצת צפוף ולא הכי נוח לשבת אם אין מקום בשולחן, אבל בסך הכל מקום נעים ומומלץ.

  • 5/5 Zehavit E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cute and pleasant coffee, everything we ate was delicious and creative! Prices turned around, the waiter was cute, the only bass that usually has no place to sit. I wish there would be more such places in Tel Aviv. (Original) קפה חמוד ונעים, כל מה שאכלנו היה טעים ויצירתי! המחירים סבבה, המלצר היה חמוד, הבאסה היחידה שלרוב אין שם מקום לשבת. הלוואי שיהיו עוד מקומות כאלה בתל אביב..

  • 3/5 Liat R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is really tasty so it's a pity that the service So much worse. We have been there twice and it is just at the unbearable level. We arrived on Friday, so we weren't under pressure to get out fast but it's just a slow level that really raises the nerves. At the stage of the coffee and cake, when we waited about fifteen minutes between the cake and coffee - already We really lost patience. Too bad (Original) האוכל ממש טעים ולכן חבל שהשירות ככ ככ גרוע. היינו שם פעמיים וזה ממש ברמת הבלתי נסבל. הגענו ביום שישי, אז לא היינו בלחץ לצאת מהר אבל זה פשוט איטי ברמה שממש מעלה את העצבים. בשלב של הקפה ועוגה, כשחיכינו איזה רבע שעה בין העוגה לקפה - כבר ממש איבדנו את הסבלנות. חבל
