Café Levinsky

Top choice in Tel Aviv


Find refreshing relief from the sweltering Tel Aviv heat here with gazoz, an old-fashioned drink of simple syrup and soda water. Illuminated jars of fermented fruits and botanicals line the shelves of this Levinsky Market favourite – housed in a tiny former storage unit – where the bespoke beverages are concocted based on the barista’s whims and what’s seasonally appropriate.

There’s no formal seating, but you can hop in the back of the 1975 Susita pickup truck that's permanently parked on the street out front and sip your Instagrammable garden-in-a-cup from its makeshift benches.
