    Good and amiable service. Three things prevented a five star rating: 1. No contactless payment. 2. The outdoor area allows smoking even though an overhead cover is present (illegal). 3. The texture of the hot chocolate was off since it was not thick.

    I wish I could give this cute place more stars. Sadly, I can’t. It misses a lot of it’s potential. With the right management, this place could be a true landmark, and not just a well-known café. I had searched for a place with Wi-Fi where I can sit with a cup of coffee, and found this bookstore-café. First the good stuff: the ambiance is nice. The staff is super friendly and eager to help (which usually means that the management treats them with respect). The setting with all the books is charming. The mid-century furniture makes it funky. They offer free Wi-Fi. And the piece de resistance is the funky outdoor seating area in the back. The not so good stuff: the place is filthy and dusty (by my standards). It seems like the staff has hardly ever picked up a rag to clean. The food - I had the cauliflower with tahini, which is hard to get wrong, but they somehow did. It was tasteless and thoughtlessly prepared. I shudder to think about the level of cleanliness in the kitchen. The vegan banana bread was okay, nothing to write home about. The lighting - for a bookstore cafe - is much too dim, and customers struggle to read. It seems to defeat the purpose of this type of establishment. The playlist caters to the staff’s taste in music. Sometimes it’s fun and easy to listen to, but sometimes, not at all, like the misogynistic rap playlist they pretend to understand. It’s ironic that a place that is accepting of all people, plays rap with words like “cr*zy b**ch.” People May say that I’m not cool because I don’t like that kind of language in music, but I believe that respect is still a virtue, especially in art. The coffee is some of the worst I’ve ever had! It was made carelessly and without any passion. And that just may be the problem of this place: the staff lacks passion, which makes the place uninspired. The bathrooms: in my opinion, the bathrooms are not up to par with what should be in a popular, heavy-traffic café. There’s absolutely no real air circulation and no scented air fresheners. Also, the bathrooms open right into the bookstore. This place is very unique and I’m guessing it operates by it’s established reputation on automatic pilot. Too bad, it has lots of potential. Regretfully, for all the Little Prince’s seeming character, it falls short on substance.

    We found this place by chance while we were walking around. I was so happy to find such lovely place. I love the concept of a second-hand bookstore and a coffee place in one place. I found 2 treasures while I was there and at such a good price. The food was also very good and the wait staff are very nice. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Israel ❤️

    Very nice place It's both a second hand book store which gives the place a comfortable atmosphere (you can find amazing books for a cheap price) and a tipical Tel Avivian coffee shop. They have a nice lovely garden behind. The service is very friendly and afficient The food was overcooked but the taste was ok Great coffee Enjoy visiting their every time

    Team/Music/AC should be improved I recently visited this place hoping for a serene working environment with a touch of literary inspo. Arriving at 9:10 AM, i was greeted(!) by a woman in her 40’s and another woman at the entrance. They appeared friendly at first but i couldn’t shake the feeling their smile was insincere. Left me a feeling a bit uneasy. Despite the impression by the workers, my i enjoyed the ambiance, the place is a little oasis in the middle of the city. However the music is definitely not matched with the literary ambiance, i beleive a book coffee at least inside should prioritize a quiter ambiance to encourage the reading and focus! Summer in Telaviv is extremely hot 🥵 !!! and the AC wasn’t turned on ! They dont serve cold water and when you ask for water they just bring it from the tap a tiny glass. They dont help you to hydrate 🤣

    This place started out as a bookshop, and the cosy atmosphere remains to this day. Either sit at one of the super cozy salon-like corners inside, or enjoy a sunny/rainy day out the back, at their great-vibe garden (there’s an opaque roof)! Food dishes are small, yet decently priced, and the fare is mostly vegetarian with some vegan options. Service is superb!

    Lovely little cafe / bookstore. Staff was nice and low key and the patrons were too! The vibe is very cool - this is a good place to wander, write, sip tea (figurative and literal), and generally chill. If you need a specific book, it's not really that kind of bookstore, but it is nice to roam a bit.

    Really cute place with friendly staff. The menu was very small and to be honest nothing really interested me but I had a wonderful morning and they were totally fine with me working there for a few hours after just ordering a few drinks. So many books to choose from, I’ll definitely have to come back

    The place has a pleasant atmosphere, the servers are friendly, and the food is okay! Their internet service is weak. Overall, it's a good place to have a snack/meal and get some work done.

    I recently visited The Little Prince coffee shop and had a great experience. While I only had coffee during my visit, I can attest to the fact that the atmosphere is wonderful. The cafe has a large library in it which creates a cozy and unique feel. The backdoor outdoor area is also a great spot to sit and relax. The coffee was delicious and the service was friendly. However, I did feel that the prices were a bit high for what I ordered. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my time at The Little Prince and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a cup of coffee. Overall, The Little Prince is a great coffee shop with a unique atmosphere and good coffee. While the prices may be a bit steep, the library and backdoor outdoor area add a special touch to the experience.

    My favorite coffee shop in Tel Aviv. So quaint, quiet, and tasty. Friendly staff, reasonable prices for the city. Really no place like it in town.

    At first glance you can’t see the whole picture if you are walking by on the street. So just walk by the book and after a few steps you are in a nice garden with welcoming people. We enjoyed our rest and the friendly and relaxed people.

    A fun place for a hangout with literary friends, a must-stop for the average bohemian, a friendly place for students or a cheap, comfy, second hand book store (and café) - the Little Prince is all the above, and much more. You’ll find there lots of interesting books (not only in Hebrew!), some nice & interesting people, a basic & not expensive vegetarian menu, some nice dim corners and kinda loud feel-good music (1 star omitted). Actually, it’s a haven of sorts. Enjoy your visit (the menu is up to date - the date of the review, of course)

    Great vibes, food, and coffee. I wish you guys had sweet Croissants… but I really liked the spirit

  • 5/5 Mark H. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, great vibes, filled with people and the garden area in the back is simply magical.. coming back!

  • 4/5 Phony Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The Little Prince: an easy to miss coffeeshop with a lovely patio at the back (which allows smoking for those who can tolerate the smell), plenty of books to browse from and to shop for and tasty food although the coffee could really be improved. Not to waste anything, the dimmed interior is great for bringing a laptop to work on but the interior is still too dim for readers. The waiters otherwise look authentically happy to be there and service is very relaxed and agreeable,

  • 2/5 Mairi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cozy space. The design is lovely. However, the service is pretty bad, I had to ask twice for what I ordered and twice for a check. The music is really loud and the air conditioner wasn’t working when I came to visit.

  • 5/5 SlightJudgement 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for sitting down with a computer. There's a garden with electricity access. You can smoke in the garden and still be under roof with your computer or a book

  • 4/5 Shooky G. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice cafe with a roofed yard and many book shelfs. The coffee is decent and the menu include some sandwiches and other lite dishes. Good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Fifi L. 2 years ago on Google
    We stumbled across this delightful place accidentally today. What a joy it was to be surrounded be shelves of wonderful books! The atmosphere congenial, the cafe both quirky and eclectic, our meals delicious and nutritious, the service wonderful. Diners left to their own devices, whether chatting, reading, working on their laptops or tablets. One young girl brought her box of watercolours and painted a fascinating portrait whilst we were eating. Even though we were probably the eldest diners, we shall undoubtedly return to the charming Little Prince time and time again. Fifi and Phyllis

    A lovely little cafe inside you'll be surrounded by books there's a little garden outside that has feeding a very chill vibe they offer some sandwiches, salads and coffee

  • 4/5 Ido B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places. Great selection of second hand books in Hebrew and English. Coffee & air-conditioning need work though.

  • 4/5 Gitta W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very unique. Delightful place to visit..

  • 5/5 Arnon C. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place to sit and do some work. Decent food and service but excellent atmosphere in the middle of the bustling city. Hip and chill.

  • 5/5 Michael A. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice quirky venue. Good inexpensive food in a second hand bookshop.

  • 5/5 Ayala B. 2 years ago on Google
    The idea is so cool!! I love seeing people pursue things I wish I did. A library and a Cafe. Beautiful. There was a problem with understaffing but other than that the place is truly enchanting and beautiful, great place to pause from the business of your day and just have an iced tea, or a coffee... Just pleasant.

  • 4/5 A A. 2 years ago on Google
    oh this place is magical u guys the vintage furniture! the books all around!! and the food is nice too but we had a waitress that wasn't exactly present maybe it's the pressure maybe it's something else but i know that me and my friend had a comfortable and cozy conversation there even with this tardiness so be comfortable and grab a book
