Where to Find Your Morning Coffee:

Jerusalem's Best Cafés

Good news and bad news, coffee-loving readers. Unfortunately, there is no Starbucks here in Israel. On the bright side, the reason there is no Starbucks is not for lack of trying. In fact, Starbucks tried, and failed, to break into the Israeli coffee market.

Israeli coffee is just that good!

Buying property in Jerusalem is a funny business, everyone has their own reasons on why they prefer specific locations. However, one continuous thing we hear is “where can we get good coffee!?”
