Description

The menu goes beyond standard cafe fare with flaky burekas and a sesame-crusted Israeli Toastini filled with gooey cheese, served with a zesty green sauce. On weekends, the kitchen prepares traditional dishes like Jachnun, Malawah, and Chulent. The space pairs its indoor tables with pink street-side chairs for neighborhood people-watching, and hosts a little free library onsite for book swapping. In the evening, the menu transitions to flatbreads, desserts, and a curated selection of domestic, international, and Israeli beers.
