    I am a professional foodie, therefore I insist on making accurate researches for places that are very good, memorable to my tummy. This is one place I am not done with yet, had just half of their menu... So I just keep going back there and tasting everything. Food exceptional, venue very pretty and in a gorgeous location, service fast and very professional. So far one of my favorite places in Tel Aviv.

    What was once the only restaurant in the shuk hapishpeshim district remains a reigning Supreme restaurant with authentic bohemian vibes and European atmosphere. The waitstaff are very nice, the food is tasty and the mood is super chill. Started by my aunt with alot of heart and soul, the restaurant keeps my dear Pua's legacy alive with this unique and very special place. A "must visit and eat" location if/when you come to Yaffo.

    I have visited this place several times a few years ago and was happy to return again. It has become a much larger place, taking over a few of the places next door. The design is still very hipster, 70s vibe, eclectic and lovely. Very popular among the tourists around the glee market. The food is also still very tasty, but they did raise the rates quite a bit and for some of the dishes I do think the value for money is not great.

    A bit messy at first as they forgot our orders and we were starving but overall very good curry on my side! What you see you can buy, as this is also a thrift shop.

    We dined in this retro designed restaurant, everything there reminded me my late grandmother house, in a fantastic way. The dishes that were served tasted delicious, great middle eastern food with lots of creativity, we had great time!

    Really good service, polite staff and very generous portions, you can even ask for more bread. They even surprised us with dessert on the house. Worth a visit. We took the mixed morning fish platter and the Turkish burekas, delicious.

    Cafe Puaa is a Jaffa Flea market establishment, and every once in a while we visit for a nice, trustworthy meal. This time was no different, we had a nice breakfast and as usual, service was very friendly and quick.

    We had a breakfast here and we enjoyed it. Nice spot in old Jaffa. We ordered Shakshuka and an scrambled eggs, they serve it with bread, vegetable salat and humus, all very tasty. You cal also just have a seat and enjoy your coffee. Really nice place, in case we are backnin Tel Aviv we will visit this place again.

    (-) The ceviche was tasteless. (+) The meat sandwich was delicious. Pasta was good as well. They have "happy hour" deal between 17:00 to 19:00 with a 30% discount.

    Had a great lunch here with the family. A very good location in the flea market in Jaffa, set in a very old preserved building. Service was very good, and all the dishes we tried were excellent. I specifically recommend the pulled beef sandwich and the fried cauliflower.

    My husband and I enjoyed our first meal after landing in Israel at this beautiful location in the city with outdoor seating. The food was a little different than we expected, but considerably tasty. They had a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian options, which was what drew us to this particular restaurant.

    Nice atmosphere and the food was also nice - but not more than that. The prices are very high.

    This place is wonderful. I've eaten here twice and everything I've had has been very good. The chestnut gnocchi is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. I will come back here every time I visit Tel Aviv until I can figure out the recipe for it. The staff has always been very friendly as well. The atmosphere is really nice both outdoors and inside.

    Everything about Puaa cafe is truly unique. Strating with the fact that everything in the cafe is for sale, like the adorable vintage plates or the unmatched cups and cutlery. Then you are served a shot of sangria by the wonderful wait staff. When you get your food it's another unique experience: the dishes are the one of the best I've ever tasted, have big portions (they actually recommend to share the appetizers) and they're served in the most home-y setting. It's clear that this cafe cares more about the taste than fancy servings. Indeed this is a must visit cafe!

    The most amazing spot in the flea market for healthy, authentic Israeli, farm to table food. The original restaurant of the market with beautiful and quirky interiors (everything is for sale, just ask) and really cool and thoughtful staff. Great for people watching or catching up with friends.

    We went on our first night in Tel Aviv after having done some research and following Puaa on Instagram. Wow! Amazing food, great atmosphere, and all the girls working there were so nice! We'll be back to try the breakfast menu for sure!

    Unfriendly, rude and not helpful the hostess, the food was nice a bit salty; the dessert (tapioca) was great. the atmosphere was ok, I was seated under vent air conditioning and was dripping over me, and then I asked for another table.

  • 4/5 Katerina Z. 1 year ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Get their KNAFE! Seriously one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Ordered the catch of the day - sea bass, a bit overpriced but rly tasty. Would also recommend their jasmine tea cocktail with lychee. Visit this place for the atmosphere, worth it.

  • 5/5 sameer j. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious food (tried only Vegetarian food), friendly service. Ended up here accidentally on a warm Friday late afternoon after Jaffa city walking tour and was extremely happy to have found this place. May get difficult to find a table for bigger group without reservations, but we were happy to split into two tables.

  • 5/5 Milda M. 1 year ago on Google
    We came back here couple of times during our holidays and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Great, cosy atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable staff, I would definitely recommend this place!!🤩

  • 5/5 Juanjo S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cafe Puaa has a really cool vibe. It’s located in the heart of Yaffa and offers plenty of breakfast and brunch options.

  • 4/5 Fontaine X. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Morley D. 10 months ago on Google
    Very crowded. There is outdoor seating. Most of the menu is vegan.

  • 5/5 Ron G. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite thing about this place is the vibe and decor. Vintage furniture and reclaimed doors and lighting fixtures add a very unique touch. Staff is incredibly friendly. They offer an all day breakfast with vegan options. Located on both sides of a picturesque alleyway in the older part of Jaffa.

    If you enjoy Gnocchi.....go immediately to Cafe Puaa. Everything was delicious

  • 5/5 Karine K. 4 years ago on Google
    We received a recommendation from a local merchant to eat at Cafe Puaa. When we reached the cafe, I felt like I went back in time to my childhood and sat at my grandma’s dining table. Everything from the furniture to dinnerware was vintage which provides for a unique setting. My salad - Asian style root veggies and noodles — was amazing. The roasted cauliflower that our neighbors had looked amazing. I’ll definitely be back.

    Authentic place. Good good!

  • 4/5 Jeremy R. 4 years ago on Google
    First time there and i must say it was cool! The place design, concept and ambiance are really nice. Very crowded on weekends. Service is fast, professional and kind, food is really tasty! I had the Mansaf and lemon pie which was really good. Prices are a bit high but still recommended.

  • 5/5 Kris T. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place. Menu is not big but enough with meat and vegetarian options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Service is also great and you can sit inside or outside.

  • 5/5 Yael W. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow! Our dining experience was incredible. The ambiance is spectacular!! It was one of our first meals on our trip back to Tel-Aviv and it just blew us away (reminded us why we constantly long for Israel and its cuisine)! You will love anything you order on their menu!! They have outdoor seating too. This place came highly recommended and there it did not disappoint!

  • 5/5 Hubert-Baterna L. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat in Tel Aviv. It's in a place called the flea market with so many restaurants to choose from but this one is a must. Really delicious food and the price was exceptionally reasonable for Israel, where everything else is so expensive. Wish the staff would be more welcoming and charming.

  • 5/5 Christina M. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything is amazing in this Israeli Cafe! I am a tourist from America and I was blown away by this place. The staff was extremely friendly making me feel comfortable to ask any questions about the menu. The CLEMENTINE-POMEGRANATE juice.... omg. Best justice I have ever tasted. Great vibes here. This was one of my top experiences on my vacation.

  • 5/5 N M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a must for anyone visiting Tel Aviv! I had the Vegan Shakshuka and the Moussaka and they were great. The bread is amazing! There is always a line so go early. Staff is friendly and very attentive. If I'm ever in Tel Aviv again, I'll be coming here.

  • 4/5 Ori S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, but the tehini is nothing special.

  • 5/5 Shai I. 4 years ago on Google
    Stopped here while strolling in Jaffa. Excellent coffee and service with a cozy atmosphere. All the furnitures are second hand, which give the place a special charm. You probably gonna have to wait for a table on the weekends. We ordered the sweet Bundash, which was really good (we even asked for extra jelly). We're planning to come back to try other things on the menu.

  • 5/5 Cantor Sydney M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great experience here, especially for brunch. The servers are always lovely and the food is always fresh and delicious. The cozy ambiance with eclectic furniture and dishes can’t be beat.

  • 4/5 Erela P. 2 years ago on Google
    Chill vibe. good food. Lots of people watching. Interesting decor. I definitely recommend spending a lazy meal here.

  • 4/5 Stephany Z. 1 year ago on Google
    What wonderful service and pretty good food!

  • 3/5 First L. 1 year ago on Google
    3.5. Had the shakshuka, it was ok but I like mine a bit more complex. Bread is great. Coffee just ok. Not "super" clean. Ok but dry service (Israeli people don't smile much?).

  • 5/5 Banin Design & M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is always a great choice... very calm, cool, vintage atmosphere... great food... good selection of different types of food... just awesome 😍

  • 4/5 Ran S. 2 years ago on Google
    Puaa is always nice place to eat Vegy friendly, tasty and pleasant hospitality

  • 5/5 Randi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Just finished a wonderful early dinner of wide noodle pasta with mushroom and ricotta. It was on the Specials Menu. Really, really excellent! Pleasant service even though I happen to be a party of just one. As usual, great atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Sonia R. 1 year ago on Google
    3 stars only because the service was not great. Our drinks were forgotten, not enough glasses, the wrong food was brought to our table several times. Maybe we caught them on a bad day. Otherwise, the food was really good. The highlight was the knafeh - probably the best that I've tried. We also ordered the grilled fish with mujadara, fried cauliflower, and beet root salad.
