It's easy to miss the subdued entrance to this verdant hipster oasis tucked in the courtyard of one of Tel Aviv’s first buildings with a lift, which is why it’s helpful that the cafe’s name is also its address. Enter the wrought-iron doorway, climb the original 1920s stairs and step into a hotspot that effortlessly transforms through the day from breakfast bistro to bustling bar.
Diners and people-watchers can enjoy sunlit seating near the derelict lift shaft with distinctive old-world charm, or you can opt for the plush indoor leather chairs by the stage, where live music performances take place a few nights a week.
