One word: Shakshuka. If the rest of the menu is anywhere near as good as the shakshuka was, you are in for a treat! Cafe Yehoshua staff were great. I was enjoying the shakshuka so much I was worried I was making noises similar to the ones Meg Ryan was making in When Harry met Sally! Cafe Yehoshua gets multiple stars, or whatever the scale is!
This coffee spot offers much more than just great coffee. With a diverse menu ranging from hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners, it’s a versatile place for any time of day. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the staff are friendly. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick coffee, a light brunch, or a full meal in the evening, you’ll find something that hits the spot. Great for casual meetings or solo downtime.
Very nice place with tasty food, good selection of wines and pleasant vibe. We got salmon and beef tartare, beef tenderloins and beet and camembert salad. Everything was amazing, however, I personally would go easy on parsley for salmon tartare. One minor minus — gin & tonic comes mixed. Most places in Israel serve gin on ice and a bottle of tonic on the side — that way you control how strong your drink is. We’ll be back for sure!
Loved everything about cafe yehoshua. Loved the atmosphere, the service, the English breakfast with mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, potatoes and fried eggs, and of course delicious sausages. The benidict breakfast was also good. Last of all the music was perfect
The perfect place. I was in charge of finding the night’s fare in Jerusalem and was looking for a light menu with drinks….Cafe Yehoshua more than delivered! Inventive and delicious cocktails (Pink Lady which is on the dry side & Spicy Margarita-both fabulous!), shrimp in a garlic broth with vibrant tomatoes for an entree, veggie bowl and the chicken schnitzel. All delivered by lovely staff in a warm venue. This is a neighborhood gem as evidenced by the eclectic mix of patrons that streamed in over time. I was drawn by a review that mentioned a light menu but they left out the decadent desserts….bring more friends or enjoy alone with stretchy pants🤭 but don’t miss out on this incredible cafe!
