What do we think

Cafe Nadi , Jerusalem's Breakfast Icon Perfects the Israeli Morning Ritual

Since opening its doors in 2007, Cafe Nadi has evolved from a modest Shatz Street cafe into one of Jerusalem's most beloved breakfast destinations. Founder Shai Cohen created something special: a neighborhood establishment that combines the polished atmosphere of an Upper West Side coffee shop with the soul of an authentic Israeli dairy cafe. Now firmly rooted on Hillel Street in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, Nadi has earned its reputation as the quintessential spot for both breakfast and lunch.

Nadi's mastery of the Israeli breakfast elevates a familiar format into something memorable. The shakshuka here breaks from convention, enhanced with creative vegetable combinations that add depth and complexity to the traditional tomato-egg dish. Each morning offering showcases the kitchen's commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets. The result is breakfast fare that feels both comfortingly familiar and delightfully inventive.
