Known forhistoric cafépastry institutioncity centericonic
One of Jerusalem's oldest and most storied cafés, Kadosh has been serving the city since 1967 and remains a benchmark for Viennese-style café culture in Israel. The pastries — particularly the croissants and cream cakes — are exceptional, and the coffee is reliably excellent. It's perpetually busy and the tables are close together, but the old-world atmosphere and quality make it an essential Jerusalem experience.
