Cafe Kaymak Tel Aviv

Shiny happy people cafe

Reuven from Tel Aviv

About me I first arrived to Tel Aviv when I was 18, in order to be a musician. It was love at first sight (between me and Tel Aviv. Becoming a rock star turned out to be harder than I had imagined). After I finished my army service as a paratrooper, I did the traditional “after-army” trip and immediately afterwards came back to Tel Aviv and I’ve been here until this very day. Up...
""Cafe Kaymak" in Tel Aviv is on Levinsky, between charming old buildings, next to the spice market. An ideal place to start the night with some drinks..."

Levinski has always been a nice street, with its spice stores, delis, and cafes, but only after the city decided to close it for cars (note - only the street itself, the crossing streets are still active), that's when it really turned into one of the nicest places to hang out in Florentin.

Cafe Kaymak is located on Levinsky, between charming old buildings and next to the "spice market".

The menu is not big, but there is always something that I want to order (even though it's vegetarian and I'm not). The same goes for the drinks. The prices are super-fair and the crowd is young and happy and everything goes in nice manageable chaos.

For me, it's an ideal place to start the night with some drinks (Crazy Jasmin is their best cocktail, they also have IPA from the draught) and food.

Don't miss out on the kama sutra illustrations on the toilet door. Why are some of the dudes there blue?

About me I first arrived to Tel Aviv when I was 18, in order to be a musician. It was love at first sight (between me and Tel Aviv. Becoming a rock star turned out to be harder than I had imagined). After I finished my army service as a paratrooper, I did the traditional “after-army” trip and immediately afterwards came back to Tel Aviv and I’ve been here until this very day. Upon graduating from Tel Aviv University, with a major in economics, I ditched a promising (didn't promise anything) sommelier career (still a hobby) and moved into the finance field. Luckily, the compa...
