Bites of JLM 🍴

Nestled in the heart of residential Katamon is Cafe Michaela (Rabbanut), an unassuming neighborhood café with a unique menu, high-quality bakery, and specialty goods shop to help you host gracefully at home. Pop in for a yummy bite sized sandwich, or grab some baked goods to round out your next shabbat meal - it’s sure to be a delight!

Playdates just got a serious glow-up. Tucked inside Gan Gideon playground, the David Laor kiosk turns kid time into coffee time with flaky pastries, croissant sandwiches, brioche treats, and a full menu of hot and cold drinks. Pro tip: get there early, as these goodies are delivered once a morning from the main shop in Mevaseret, and often disappear fast!
