Caffit

Visited Caffit multiple times for breakfast because of hotel link, and sampled different options from the menu. I used to go there in the late 80s and the 90s, so also have memories about it. The food quality is very high and everything I tried was fresh and nice. The Jerusalem salad and the shakshuka are great. Big portions and lovely service.

Bottom line - if you have a nice budget and want to eat in this part of town, then this place will do. They offer some signature dishes which I can recommend. Pros: size of portions; quick service; quality of food; decent vibe. Cons: very expensive; location has no easy parking; no meat dishes (it's Kosher).

I really love this place. There is a great outdoor patio that is lovely to sit during the cooler months. Indoors is light and airy and comfortable as well. The menu is varied, food is excellent but a bit pricey. My favorite dish is the teriyaki salmon skewers with rice. Again, a bit on the expensive side but it’s special and different.

A really nice and intimate coffee-restaurant place in the middle of Jerusalem. Great, tasty and quality food. Service is friendly, fast and welcoming. Their green Shakshuka is really good! You can also have take away. Enjoy :)

The table was nice.The food was not tasty at all, very amateur. The waiters were not focused and didn't bring everything we asked for. I would not go again.

Very good place for breakfast or lunch. The food is good and the portions are quite large. Omelettes are not really their forte, but the rest was definitely delicious.

Mixed feelings. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, a "smoking section" outside and the decor is pleasing, though it does feel crowded. I ordered the fungi pizza and my husband got salmon shawarma. As entrees go, the pizza was a nice size and very delicious (though could've used more mushrooms(, but the salmon shawarma was a bit deceiving. It needed a side salad to round it out as an entree, and we had to ask for the tahini that was supposed to come with it as it was omitted. Also, the menu described it as being in "frena bread", and had we known that they meant "pita", we might have skipped it, for it wasn't satiating enough for my husband. We were standing at the front desk taking care of our bill when a waitress passed by and tripped. Her tray flew to the ground, glasses shattered and a wave of sauce spattered my husband's jacket and pants. They apologized and tried to help dab it up, but the sauces appeared to be oil-based and the jacket and pants were stained. We're going to have to dry clean them. I was surprised that nobody offered anything, not a free dessert as an apology, not to pay for the dry cleaning, nothing. We left with a somewhat unpleasant feeling. EDITED TO ADD: I sent the second half of this review to Caffit's facebook page, and they contacted me! They apologized again, offered us to bring the clothing to the restaurant for them to clean and have prepared us a voucher for a free couple's breakfast! Now that's more like it! I'll let you know how it is. :)

Great place, stopped there for a breakfast in the middle of the week. Very good location and in general Emek Refaim is a good place to start your morning. We ordered toast and it was delicious. The only dis is that the service time was above average, but maybe it was just one of these morning.
