Café Asif

We came on Thursday noon without a reservation and had a place at the bar (my favourite 🤩), the service was fantastic off the bat, we were going to order a few dishes and the waiter said he thinks it's too much and let's start with some and we can always add later. He was so right and we were thankful to him. The food was delicious, everything was fresh well portioned and really tasty. We had such a good time that we booked their brunch for the following day and had yet another great experience. It's just a really good place in TLV, with great service, food and atmosphere.

Lovely place. I took a tea up to the library (which includes only culinary books, unfortunately or fortunately for others), and sat down on the big sofa to work a little on my laptop. It was really cozy, really quiet and very welcoming. The interior design is very well curated and the servers were all very nice. Thank you!

My second visit - Breakfast: Today I was trying to breakfast for the first time, I must say that I was not impressed with the food. First I must say that I write a lot about coffee and the coffee was absolutely one of the best in Tel Aviv! But, The the food… The tahini was better, The soft cheese was nothing special or tasty, The salad was with medium quality vegetables and lots of oil, The jam was ok and The bread was pretty good. So overall I did not have a feeling of “ The culinary institute of Israel” I expected choosing the perfect olives for example 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, this restaurant is very new so I’m definitely going to come back and see what changed! The atmosphere was still very nice ( very cold so you do need a sweater at the morning ) but super fun to sit in. ———————————————————— Great experience Absolutely a must go restaurant We had such a great experience at this new restaurant in Tel Aviv, The whole concept is fantastic, A full experience of beauty taste and atmosphere. We were there for lunch but I definitely would suggest the restaurant for anytime. I’m looking forward to experience more of this place.

Two stars, only because one of the staff was nice and took us to see the roof vertical gardens. This used to be a very interesting place when it opened with tables booked a week in advance, but no more. It was almost empty when we came for breakfast. Food is now very mediocre, few little plates with the usual ordnary stuff with zero imagination, served on a blue plastic tray. Toast came totally coal burned from both sides. This is probably the way they like to make it here because it took quite a bit of convincing to return it and get a new one. Overpriced 'raw fish salad' which tasted fine but took about four bites to finish. In short, this place is on the way out and will probably close down in a few months. At least thats how it feels. Its unfortunate because it used to be interesting and the food-related exhibits are interesting as well.

So this is more than just a Coffee place. It’s a culinary institute and has Public library Vertical farm Gallery for changing exhibitions Cafe and Deli Sharing some photos here. With regards to the Coffee and Deli, coffee is great, food is fresh and tasty. Place looks cozy and esthetic, Scandinavian chic. Definitely worth the visit. EnJoy :)

We had a terrible experience with the service. Despite booking a table in advance, when we arrived our table was not available. Instead, staff tried to seat us at a smaller, different table that we had not requested. We had a baby with us, and yet we were left waiting for 25 minutes while being repeatedly told “just a moment, we’ll seat you soon” — but nothing happened. Later, the staff acted as if the problem was ours, as if we were being difficult for not accepting something completely different from what we reserved. In the end, they even made it seem like we had offended them by being unhappy. Absolutely unacceptable service.

Cool atmosphere. Yummy food. Went there for Friday lunch. Had delicious gazpacho, baked goat cheese and sea fish plate. Ended with carrot cake and ice cream and coffee. Very happy 90min. Lovely waiters. There's more to explore

Lovely place for lunch. Everything we ate was very tasty and very well prepared - balanced and spiced just right. The warm semolina cake was a heavenly surprise!
