There are many different coffee shops in Tel Aviv that can offer you a caffeine boost, but very few provide a welcome and luxurious respite from the hectic pace of city life. That’s where Cafe Trumpeldor enters the scene: This unique coffee joint, located steps away from the city’s promenade, is a boutique patisserie haven where you are sure to find quality coffee served with a smile.

Designed like a modern French spot, Cafe Trumpeldor boasts a special menu that includes gourmet sandwiches, salads and desserts made in-house from fresh produce by two talented confectioners.

Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast or a bite of divine pastry, this place has a delectable option just for you. Highly recommended are staple sweets like the Kouign Amann, a butter and sugar cake that is as delicious as it sounds.
