Delicaffessen

There is a new cafe in town - new meaning that it wasn't there in 2012 - with a distinctly North American touch. It's styled with black and white paint, with red accents and black and white photos in red frames. The photos come from various movies, from classic to modern, the scene of which includes coffee. There are many, many tables in this cafe and they provide free wi-fi. They bring a large jug of water with each order, which is exactly what any coffee drinker will need. The impression I get is that they WANT you to be comfortable and to stay. They also speak English.

The coffee itself is excellent. I have tried the regular once and the decaf a number of times. I always order the same: cafe amb llet or cafe con leche or coffee with milk. I have learned that a European (or Israeli) cappuccino is not the same as one in the US and have found these cafe amb llet's to be a delightful substitute. Anyway, back to the coffee: the decaf here does not taste like decaf. It is so delicious that you don't even realize it is decaf. Decaf is usually disgusting and hardly drinkable but here it is so sweet and smooth; there is hardly any difference.

The only downside to this cafe is the pastry selection. Once, I had a piece of homemade brioche which went perfectly with the coffee but since it's been hit or miss. There is little to choose from and I'm not convinced it is homemade. If you like to have your coffee with a pastry, this may or may not be the place for you.
