The 13 best coffee shops and best cafes in Eilat

In a shopping center with great views of the downtown Eilat area and beautiful palm trees. Can get busy during tourist time. Food was ok. Had stuffed mushrooms as appetizer and fish and chips.

Cafe Optimi is a great spot for basic Italian cuisine. While the menu is somewhat limited—mostly catering to meat lovers—the dishes are rich in authentic Italian flavors. A nice, cozy place to enjoy a satisfying meal.

A nice café. I’d definitely recommend the shakshuka—it’s very delicious and comes with fresh bread. The fish and chips, however, felt overpriced with an uneven fish-to-chips ratio, and it didn’t come with any special sauces. The waiters were friendly and attentive, and the dishes arrived quickly. Overall, a great spot for breakfast

We ordered take away, 2 pizzas at the price of over 170 ILS, the pizza itself was fine, tasty. Better than all the other industrial pizzas around. The thing is, for that price I would expect something larger than personal sized pizza. Also, one of the pizzas, the most expensive one, had a huge cheese ball in the middle, making the cutting action pretty impossible. I would reconsider the way of serving that dish

A good option for a date night or a family night out. The prices are reasonable for its extensive menu of starters, pizza, pasta fish dishes, and Get reservations unless you want to wait 30-40 minutes.

The food was good and they give u plenty. Typical israeli breakfast spot. Nice right by the beach

The background music was perfect. The service was flawless. HOWEVER!!!, The dishes are quite small compared to restaurants in the area since "The concept of the restaurant is to share dishes". Tell me more about how a smaller dish with the same price (as average), should encourage sharing... P.S. The first piece of stake (comes on a skew{?!}) was extra dry. The second was well-done, the rest were amazing

Aroma, a good value as always, and such is this one, a typical Aroma coffee shop but with a splendid view on the Red Sea. Like the other ones in this chain it offers cheap price, large portions, very fast service: we had a salad which was big enough for both of us. Coffee was good, such as the brownies as dessert. And no problems whatsoever with the Tuna Salad. This restaurant is situated right on the beach, a gorgeous view on the beach and the sea with no impact whatsoever on the prices which are the same than the other ones in the chain. The sunset is beautiful on the red sea although the sun doesn't sink in the sea. I'll attach some pictures of the surroundings... Not for gourmet certainly, but for families it is perfect..

Amazing food and drinks. The view is gorgeous if you decide to sit outside. Very tasty Israeli 🇮🇱 food.

Nice place by the ocean 🌊 Not a personal Caffe More of a come in get out But tasty and friendly Good for groups and singles. I'd come

I’m a big critic when it comes to coffee .. strong cappuccino made perfect 👌🏼

I give it 5 stars because of good localization, great pastries and coffee, and prices not significantly higher than in different places. We’ve had one of the best coffees in Eilat there and have not eaten such tasty pastries before. A nice place to seat in and nice outdoor balcony. Moreover the ordering is very convenient because it’s digitalized and the service is very fast. Worth going!

We originally wanted to order a takeout but decided to stay, the food came quickly and was very delicious

I came for a morning coffee , It was tasty and all but I was disappointed to find out they serve cold coffee in disposable plastic cups. Besides this, the place is located at a lovely location with a view of the seaside .

No no no. Do not order deserts here. After several tries, the apple pie full of maple souce, lot and.lot of it. It has a taste of last here as well as the souffle cake.

Not recommended!! Bad and slow service, dishes are very small (not well reflected in the attached pictures). Very expensive for what you get. After complaining to the owner, i was told that the company has decided to reduce the dishes sizes but not the prices! We were very disappointed!! Don't go!

Overpriced. Slow service. Food lacks in tastes. Rude management. Pass

Way too expensive for what you get, paid 65 for a salad that was purely cheese and lettuce, and it was supposed to be a sandwich salad and badly had any sandwich, service was pleasant, but that does change the fact that everything here taste like trash, and it wasn’t just my salad, everything else was also really bad, all and all would not recommend coming here at all.

After a long walk we were looking forward having a drink and a small bite to eat at Cafe Cafe. As we were about to enter at around 19:00 the host told us we are already closed when their opening hours are until 22:30. If you don’t want to be open according to your own opening hours, don’t open a branch in this wonderful mall in the first place. What a disappointment!!

Great presentation the fish tasted fishy the garlic spaghetti did not have any garlic flavor the French fries was great ice Coffe was good

Great food , & kosher

Update: There again this November 2022. This time the service was OK so I'm raising my rating from 1 to 3 stars (but still small portions), Hope next time I'll raise it little more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was there this last December 2020 and end of June 2021 and it was bad! December because the service was awful, and this last June because the service was not only still awful but the size of the portions was reduced by half. I have attached pictures of the Tuna salad I had ordered, with my hand holding it so you can judge by yourself of its size. The price: 36Nis = 12$. Worse, when I went to order a second one (I was still hungry), I rushed because it was 18:55 and they close the kitchen at 19:00, but when I reached the attendant to order, I was told that the kitchen was already closed. Even worse, one of the slices of bread was already half eaten (look at the picture) Bottom line, probably OK for a nice coffee but not more than that.

One of the better aroma branches, located at the coral beach in eilat, and offers a wide verity of pastries salads and sandwiches. A must try is the iced cappuccino and iced lemon mint.

Always busy.,😉 Good food if you like aroma .I do.! Great service although they're missing some menu idems every now and then... Nice croud very different from other branches

Great place for breakfast! Really tasty food, kind staff and menu available in English.

A standard Aroma coffee shop. Service was nice and and the place had a nice atmosphere.

Great place 3 min from the beach. All was just great - sandwich, coffee, pastry and guys who worked there.

Best Aroma ever.. That's a pity they close too early in the evening.

I ordered mango and strawberry smoothie it was really good. Definitely recommend

Loved it during our visit to Aqaba, Fares was so pleasant with friendly and welcoming service. Ice cream, cappuccino. americano and bubble waffles were so good, we kept coming back throughput the vacation. The view of the sea and yachts is nice-definitely coming back whenever I am in Aqaba 🙏

It's a really good place and i love it! Shaker and fares were amazing, and they provided great service! The Frappuccino was good, i really love this place!

The place is very nice with beautiful view! Shaker was very attentive. Very recommended!

Joyhouse is a place where happiness feels at home. Every corner is filled with warmth, laughter, and the little things that make life beautiful. Whether you’re sharing a coffee, enjoying a quiet moment, or connecting with friends, Joyhouse is here to lift your spirit and brighten your day. It’s more than just a space — it’s a feeling. A place where joy grows, hearts connect, and good memories are always being made.

Amazing place, great coffee and nice service! The owner is very polite and speaks good English. We came here two days in a row for breakfast. You can find European style coffee, waffles and crepes. Highly recommended!

Loved this place!! Great service and friendly staff. This was our families go to place for some coffee. We will definitely be coming back here again.

A nice place and a great stop one on the way to or back from Eilat, It's a very nice and quiet place located in the middle of a desert highway, they serve nice fresh breakfasts, sandwiches, deserts and natural bottled juices. Overall it's very recommend especially considering this is one of the very few possible stops in this area.

On our way south, we made a short stop at Neot Smadar Inn – and ended up falling in love. It was so peaceful and inviting that we couldn’t resist coming back on our way home. Everything there is organic and vegetarian, served in a uniquely calm and thoughtful atmosphere. Beyond the charming café and shop (filled with local granola, natural soaps, wine, natural cosmetics, and locally made supplements – including a powerful antioxidant derived from a regional cactus), there’s also fascinating information about the community’s history and philosophy. They even have cards and flyers about a film made about the area, their tradition of shared homes, an artists’ house, and workshops in ecological construction and gardening. We sat in a garden that felt like a little oasis – a healing breath of fresh air. Among the flowers, plants, and a small stream, the kids discovered frogs and tadpoles. It was magical.

Everything we ordered was delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful. Sadly, they ran out of ice cream when we finished our lunch. Now I look forward to coming back and trying it!

Excellent coffee, good pastry. They have 3 kind of soup, if you take it with a portion of bread it is a meal by itself. Wery nice atmosphere and welcoming service.

Special location, solely food and refreshments far around. Nice design, local organic vegetarian food. Quality was not thrilling. The rice was a bit too dry . The lasagna was cold at the bottom. It was replaced after I mentioned that but the next one was too. They microwave it from freezing. They offered me hot drink and desert instead and it was good. It is also a shop for Neot Smadar staff. Clean toilets. Nice deserts.

Nice little restaurant on the way to/from Eilat. They have some interesting options on the menu, many including produce from the Kibbutz.

One of my favorite stops in the Arava, great store, take out & dine-in option, on the way back from or to Eilat and not just! I got some great products to go and had a delicious bite and coffee, very relaxed atmosphere, beautiful garden, friendly staff

The Sabih salad had almost no eggplant or potatoes which was disappointing... although the breakfast was nice. Service was not the best. Overall the experience was decent

The waiters are unwelcoming. We had to ask multiple times and multiple different waiters just for some water. Food was not worth the wait or the money. However, coincidentally the check came very quick! Would not go again.

Horrible place! Look elsewhere! Managed to mess up every order of ours! We had to ask 10 times (Im not kidding) for our coffee and each time they said ok it's coming soon but it took another hour! When we told the management about our bad experience the manager sort of laughed.. pretty bad experience, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Waitress kept forgetting the order, didnt notice us at all, lowzy energy and mediocre food, would not recommend

Would not recommend it. Overpriced, bad service, the waitress forgot some of our drinks yet charged us for them.

Worst Pecan Granita out of any Greg Cafe in Israel

The food was very disappointing and the service was slow..despite it being a quiet evening. You can do much better!

5 stars comparing quality to price. Coffee 5 shekels, tastes OK. Ecler is small, but tasty (6 shekels), comparing to one from Awiteks. Barista isn't super fluent in English, but you could use gestures :D

Awful. Got a cappuccino. Milk was old. It was sitting in the pitcher already dirty from the previous use. He steamed it to boiling and poured into my cup. He used about 10gr of coffee from the grinder (32gr +/- is the industry norm for an expresso shot), run it through the espresso machine way too quickly (10 sec instead of the typical 25sec +/-; under-pulled the shot). Which basically created bitter water, NOT coffee. Overall you get .50c of a product and pay 5 sheikil for it. And the product that tastes like hot old piss. Terrible!

5 nis coffee in a $5 world. Also a nice selection of pasteries and sandwiches 5-8 nis. They even have top shelf whiskeys and vodkas ... not 5 nis!

Nice place, very friendly staff...the old guy without hair is quite unfriendly. Take life more easy my friend 😉

Great coffee, cheaper than usual, always have a variety, and always add something new, the employees are very nice Branch is in a very convenient location.

Nice, Some time I go alone & Some time with my friends to eat and Drink.....

Small coffee shop. Good coffee and price. Paid 5 for a cup.

Lovely, clean, and a service with a smile. It's definitely worth a visit and also a variety of cookies, cakes, and sweets . But I came for the coffee and it's well made . Good coffee !!

Best place in town. 🎂☕️🥐🥪 My family and I are regular guests for almost eight years, tried many...there's no comparison. Great choice of sweets also for people who have particular dietary restrictions. The pâtisserie is very delicate and well presented and doesn't feel heavy or too sugary on the palate. The Israeli breakfast options are nice, everything is fresh and tasty and a great choice for a late breakfast. Also the quiche...soooo good! Coffee...absolutely the best ❤️ The staff is lovely, they are always very nice, helpful and kind...by now for us it's like family. The cleanest place around too! Recommended 100% 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Russian speaking waiter declined to take order in russian. Okay, it's not a big deal. After that we switched to english but she messed with the order 3 times in a raw. Awful. Food tastes good, but I visit such places not only for food but for good service too. So, if you looking for good service it's wrong place.

Great coffee and pastry. Cool vibe, friendly and delicious. The Israeli breakfast was fresh , rich and very tasty. Highly recommended

Tasty coffee! Have a variety of milk substitutes.... In my option the place lack of vegan food choices. Other than that, lovely experience. Along the side the road with intimate vibe.

Very professional! Fulfilled my every wish! Thank you one more time! As I heard, the cake was very tasty! See you when I come to Israel!!! 💙

Good coffee! A variety of cakes and cookies to eat there or to take home. Even vegan and non sugar (for diabetics). And the most important for me... No loud music. One can talk there with the people he's sitting with.

It's a cheap place, the kids that work there are pretty nice, but they have this annoying habit of calling everyone they serve "friend". I mean, they finish each sentence with the word friend.. "would you like anyting else, friend?" Or "Will that be all, friend?"... They can completely drop that word and I will respect them more and enjoy my stay there more. The word friend when it is spoken the way they speak it, feels completely fake and redundant

Low prices, reasonable food. You kind of get what you pay for. Staff is friendly and accommodating, selection is reasonable for such a tiny place.

Fast cheap and easy. Nothing fancy at all just in and out on the cheap.. the way things should be

Low cost coffee, pay less and don't complain. Decent service.

All for 6 NIS, which means you can get a small granita coffee :-)

Not cheap at all. Much more expensive than the beginning.

Nice place to pick up a quick coffee or a bite to eat

Took my coffin fix to go as I always do I like caffeneto it tastes good
