13 Stores with the best cookies in Tel Aviv

One of my favorite cafes in Tel Aviv. Breakfast is one of the best too find in town and so consistent. One of the best coffees that can be found. Desserts are a hit or miss but the food is excellent!

The most expensive sandwich, the Bacon Egg and Cheese. It’s a fine sandwich, but for almost $20 (Basically 3 times the price of the USA) the biggest rip off I’ve ever experienced. The bagel is good. Little bit of cheese and the bit there is is pre melted and crispy. With only 2 pieces of soggy bacon and a fried egg. Genuinely trying to figure out why it costs this much. I would recommend get something else or just make it at home. I would be more willing to just quietly pay if it looked more like the photo lol.

What a great place in the heart of Tel-Aviv!! You can sit outside and do some people watching, or inside to escape the heat, or in the back patio if you want to smoke after your meal. Great and friendly staff, that was quick and not pushy. The bagels looked so good, so I had to try it and ordered a roast beef bagel. Slices of beef, slaw and a spicy mustard, on a bagel. Great sandwich! Could use some more beef, but the flavor combo, which is not new, was done correctly and it was delicious. Also had a Nola breakfast. Two eggs, salad, hash browns, cream cheese, avocado, and a bagel. The portion was generous and everything was good. Except for the hash brown. It was probably made in a large batch and than they cut and reheat the portion on a griddle. At least that's how it tastes. It was too dense and didn't have those classic pointy potato ends that crisp up when you fry it. I also got a Nola cocktail, with OJ, whiskey and honey. It was pretty good. Definitely a nice change from the classic mimosa or bloody Mary for breakfast. All in all, I would definitely come back here for brunch, or lunch, or anytime of the day.

We really liked the atmosphere. The waiters are very friendly, fast and professional. The food is extremely good, and you should definitely have a look at their patisserie before you blindly order something. .. For us this place was a wonderful start into the day.

When I think about a good breakfast in Tel Aviv, Nola is always the first option! The quality of the food is amazing, everything is always fresh, their coffee is super delicious and desserts are definitely a must try! The service is quick even though the place is almost always packed. Love this place! ❤️

Truly well done American style breakfast. I really enjoyed the biscuits! The bacon is actually well cooked and crispy. My wife had the hashbrowns which were also tasty but not exactly what I would expect. The desserts are the real reason to come to NOLA. We had the mud pie which was absolutely amazing.

Edit 2022 - stopped by once again for some pastries. I’m in love. All in all a very nice place, great get ice and tasty food - been here a few times mainly for breakfast and really enjoyed it. Try the scones they are lovely!!

There’s a quiet kind of magic to a place that doesn’t try too hard but still delivers something exceptional. Tucked away from the main street, this restaurant feels like a well-kept secret. The interior is warm and intimate—low lighting, soft music, and a layout that gives each table a little sense of privacy. It’s the kind of place where conversations feel unrushed and every detail feels intentional. From the beginning, the service struck the perfect tone: friendly but never overbearing. Our server offered helpful suggestions and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had a good experience. The pacing of the meal was smooth and unhurried, allowing us to really enjoy each course. The food itself was thoughtful and deeply satisfying. We started with a warm appetizer that featured caramelized edges, a touch of spice, and a beautifully balanced sauce that brought it all together. It was comforting and bold—a great way to begin. My main dish was a slow-cooked stew, rich and aromatic, served with a buttery side that soaked up every drop of flavor. The depth in the dish showed off the kitchen’s patience and precision. My dining companion ordered a plant-based entrée that was just as compelling—layered textures, fresh herbs, and a smoky finish that left us both reaching for second bites. Dessert was a quiet masterpiece: a simple slice of cake, delicately spiced, with a dollop of cream and a hint of citrus. Not overdone, not showy—just perfectly executed. This restaurant doesn’t shout for attention, but it absolutely deserves it. It’s a place that values quality, comfort, and care in equal measure. Whether you're here for a quiet dinner or to mark something special, it offers an experience that lingers long after the last bite.

its excellent quality. What to Eat: Huge selection of specialty breads, amazing morning pastries, and delicious savory items (bourekas, sandwiches, salads). Highly recommend the Pear and Almond Cream Tart! Fast Service: Very efficient with multiple cashiers and self-ordering kiosks. Short wait times for both food and coffee (2 dedicated coffee stations). Seating: Air-conditioned indoor seating and outdoor seating facing Giv'on Square. Convenience: Clean restrooms, free cold water, and the option to order online for quick pickup.

The best bakery in Tel Aviv! Great flavors and great stuff but very pricey and gets very busy on the weekend. Make sure to try the Almond Croissant. Open 24 hours during weekdays and closed on the weekend since the place is Kosher

The service is great and very fast. It’s a really nice place to come with the laptop. The coffee is excellent, the food is delicious. The salads can do better. I definitely will return.

I love Lehamim. It's a wonderful bakery that is working around the clock on weekdays. On weekends it is closed. On Friday it has relatively long lines, but they take minutes to clear. The verity is usually good, but if you want something specific make sure to call and reserve it because things run out. Highly recommended.

Truly my favorite bakery both in NYC and TLV. Fantastic selection of pies and pastries of you're in a pinch, and of course great place to have a snack.

Great spot for coffee, breakfast, and all kinds of breads and pastries. Come early on Friday if you want to skip the line!

Very Instagramy. Very sweet and overloaded with sugar goods. Was a bit disappointed from the cookies. But overall it does taste good. A bit overpriced in my opinion. Coffee is overpriced and shouldn’t be because it is quite normal. A bit overrated in my opinion yet it is nice for tourist. אינסטגרמי מאוד. חמוד, מתוק מאוד, לא זול. סך הכל גימיק נחמד לפעם אחת ותו לא.

Best donut shop in Israel. Usually donuts in Israel are dry with cheap frosting but not in Showroom Bakehouse. Here they’re soft and taste like the ones you get overseas. A lot of different frostings and there’s cookies as well. A must visit if you’re in the area.

Cute and small bakery, we tried the double chocolate cookie which was rich and amazing, the baked pecan caramel danish which was super tasty and the creme patissiere cronut which was a bit too sweet for our taste. Second visit - Nutella banana pudding rocked and the rainbow sprinkles & whicte chocolate was a bit too greasy and sweet. Not bad at all!

Lovely place, filled with delicious goodies. The staff was very helpful and friendly, gave recommendations and was very welcoming. The pastries are a bit pricey, but amazing in flavours!(will be too sweet for some people though)

The donuts were delicious! Not too pricey as Tel Aviv tends to be. Polite and friendly service. Coffee was just ok.

Only place for real donuts in Israel. Everything here is delicious. Try the pretzels. And cronuts. And cookies. Everything. Halva crogalach are amazing as well.

I got a chocolate chip cookie from here. It was really big and good. If I had a chance I would come again. The service was just okay though.

Funky kosher dairy menu. Not the usual boring fare. Variety of breakfast options through the day. I enjoyed my quesadillas. My wife had a solid smoked salmon bagel. Beverages were imaginative and great for summer. My espresso tonic was very good. Great vibe. Busy. Sits on the route for the light rail which meant that it was noisy.

Loved the place, very accommodating staff and delicious kosher food. I had their special of the week: eggs on beer bread with a beet spread and cabbage topping. The vibe is inclusive and the menu is super original. Definitely will be heading back! Recommend going before 11am bc it got packed after like 11:30.

Possibly the worst coffee I’ve had in my life. At first I was disappointed by the small portion. But after my first sip I was glad that I didn’t receive more of this sub par beverage. It was terribly bitter and sour. I went with a good friend and she described her coffee as “literally just trash.” As far as food is concerned, the menu is quite small, which could be seen as a good thing. I ordered the egg and cheese bagel which was fine. Nothing incredible and nothing bad. It was a very small portion with only a single egg and toppings that slide all over the place. I also noticed that most of the tables around me received their orders wrong and received excuses from the wait staff. To summarize, I left Cafe Xoho (what is that name?) rather disappointed and disturbed. It certainly is a very busy and trendy establishment but I don’t understand how my fellow restaurant goers enjoyed their experience. While they drank the liquid that drips out of Tel Aviv air conditioner units that Cafe Xoho is selling off as Lattes and Espresso, I asked my table mate how it is that everyone else seems to be relatively enjoying their meals? At the table next to me, a young American frat type boy commented that it was the best bagel he ever ate. What? Poor boy, are you ok? Are you being starved? Have you being living on the diet of a squirrel or small bird, seeds and nuts? Blink twice if you need help. Of course I understood everything when I saw his hat, a Boston Red Sox SnapBack. Spare his soul for he know not of the might of the pinstripes of our great Yankees, hailing from the new city of York at the head of the Hudson! In short, I would not recommend.

The staff here clearly don’t care about their customers. I placed an order and specifically asked to remove a few items, but they ignored my request. When I complained, they replaced it — with the exact same mistake. After complaining again, nothing changed. On top of that, they automatically added a tip, as if we’re in the U.S. In Israel, tipping is up to the customer — and trust me, this place doesn’t deserve a single shekel with such poor service. What a shame. If you’re visiting Israel or just looking for a café, avoid this location at all costs. There are plenty of better places nearby that actually respect their customers. Also, the prices here are outrageously high compared to other cafés in the area.

Every morning in Tel Aviv, my wife and I follow the same ritual: coffee at Xoho, on Ben Yehuda Street. Our anchor point, our little piece of order in the chaos. Xoho has two zones — smoking and non-smoking. I smoke, so our choice is obvious. This morning, three empty tables. One in part sun with a single chair; two in the shade, still cluttered with empty cups and crumbs. No one around — just the remains of other people’s breakfasts. As usual, I sit at one of the shaded tables and wait (don’t ask, just wait) for someone to clear it. A waitress approaches. She tells me the table hasn’t been cleaned yet and suggests — no, politely orders — me to sit at the sunny table instead. “I’d rather stay here,” I say. “I can wait. Take your time.” “It’s not a suggestion,” she says. “I demand.” Fine. I get up, waiting for her to clear it. She starts moving around, wiping every table except mine — a perfect little ballet of passive aggression. Then another waitress passes by. I ask, “Excuse me, may I sit here?” “Of course!” she says, smiling, and immediately clears the table for me. I sit down, relieved. Naturally, the first waitress reappears. “See the difference between you and your colleague?” I tell her. “She hurried to help me. You’ve been rude.” She calls me ridiculous. I tell her she’s been horrible. The tone rises a bit, but nothing dramatic. Then the manager appears, serious and defensive. “You can’t speak to my staff like that,” he says. I explain what happened. He doesn’t care. He demands that I apologize. “No,” I reply. “If anyone should apologize, it’s her.” He asks me to leave. Which I do — calmly. If I were him, I’d probably have done the same, out of principle. Still, I can’t help thinking that waitress chose the wrong job. One day, Xoho will figure it out. Pity — it used to be my favorite café.

Amazing breakfast place! Vibrant, lots of people, and music is playing! The staff is attentive ❤️ Food was great as well, fantastic design of the menu - healthy and classical options with an original take on them. Pancakes, granola, bagels! Oat and almond-rice milk available, which is fantastic for us :))

Delicious place for a gluten free, vegetarian or dairy free options. The place is quiet and nice with a self service concept. You order in the front counter and you pick up in the bar. All of their options are delicious and healthy from main courses to beverages. Pick from different milk alternatives and be clear if you want the GF or totally vegan options. Recommended for breakfast at anytime. I had pancakes and bagels at 3 pm.

The Urban Bakery is very nice to look at: the pastries are of high quality, well made (👍). However: it's been a few times when we recieved not so fresh pastries (but still good looking and good tasting pastries, but weird texture). We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I love the vibe of this place, it's very friendly and relaxed plus you're surrounded by plants and trees 😀 The coffee is good, they have different alternatives to regular milk and loads of pastries and cakes. And if you have kids there is a nice playground right in front of it. Definitely coming back before I leave.

Overall, Urban Bakery was pretty good! I got a chocolate croissant and a donut with chocolate inside it. Both were very good, but not amazing. The quality was 4/5. The croissant could have been a bit crispier and fresher since it was soft when I bit into it. The donut was very rich with almost *too* much chocolate if that’s even possible. I would recommend trying if you’re in the area!

A nice cozy Cafe/Bakery with great coffee drinks and high quality pastries. The dough they use really makes the pastries special; though I came in around noon and I felt that they had dried up a bit. Try to ask for the freshest pastries they have.

Great Bakery, good coffee in a location next to the American Clony in Tel Aviv - Jaffa. Take a walk around. Its beautiful

If you’re gluten free or sugar free or carb free, just don’t go inside. Everything is delicious!!

Nice bakery and a deli with great coffee! Quiet atmosphere and nice design. Friendly service.

Yeah, location is good but thats about it. Food in best case is average, service is barely able to bring out things and to serve the customers, missing items from the menu, the boneless chicken look old and tasted like nothing really.

First of all, the waitress was horrible, very dismissive and ignored us most of the time even though It was literally empty in the place in the afternoon. The food was horrible, I ordered the chicken with rice in sweet sauce it was so overbearing and soaked in the sweet sauce no balance to the food and not good at all, but on top of all of that there was a dead FLY in my rice. We called the shift manager over, he again dismissed it laughed it off and said sorry, asked if i wanted anything, at this point i was disappointed of everything so i didn’t want anything from the kitchen. At least he took it off the bill. But I’m never coming back. Terrible experience.

.What ever you do, Don't get in .The service is below expectations. The food is okay, but for a pizza for the kids we had to wait over an hour!!! when they didn't even have the decency to say they were wrong and didn't put out the order I recommend to all of you, there is a huge selection of restaurants in the area, try others. It is important to me to say that this does not reflect the entire Landwer chain. In most places the service and food are amazing, but not at Tel Aviv Port

It was ok, we just wanted drinks, but I wanted beer. The menu had beers, the waitress said there are only 2 kind of beers, and after asking the bartender I learned there is no beers! So not great overall but its only a beer experience 😅

It was my second time here, but I was disappointed again First time - I was with my mom and I’ve asked several times if their shakshuka is spicy or not because of medical requirements. They said that it’s not. Guess what? It was. And they say that they could do nothing about it because this is how they have it. Aright though Yesterday - they said that there was a stuff shortage because 3 of their waiters didn’t come to the shift. It caused a long waiting time which was kind of fine. When we got the order, we noticed that there were some missing items in it comparing to the menu. When we asked about it the answer was - we just don’t have it now. Hmm. Why not to say it beforehand? Why not to remove these positions from the bill? Generally speaking, they have tasty food and great view, but for the price bigger than average you might get a list of inconveniences. So I don’t say to never to go there, but be ready that something might be wrong

Located at the of heart of the small promanade at the hip tel aviv.s port, overlooking what once served as a marina this is one of the busiest spots to stop.for a coffee or brunch. Its crowded, busy, buzzing.. the service is decent considering the clients are never going to be regulars.. the human traffic here can get chaotic.. its the typical Landwer chain.s menue, food is average and so are the desserts. An option amonst many other coffee places, if theres no que, by all means, enter.

I'll just let the picture speak for itself, this dish (chicken breast) had cost us 63 shekels, and the other 4 dishes we received look more or less the same. When queried the shift manager about the size, he told that it's the standard size of the dish - 120gr chicken and 100gr rice. Horrible place, do not give this business your money.

Very nice place to have an ice cream with two cookies. Original concept :) Prices are fair.

If you're craving a super sugary dessert - this one's for you. It's big enough to share and they have vegan options :)

Very nice concept and service, but the ice cream and the cookie were pretty average taste. Nothing too special

Just had the best ice cream I ever had, with Led Zeppelin in the background, happy moment!

Great cookies and good ice cream. Of course not homemade but ir works.

Yum, nothing more to say about it. Delicious ice cream between 2 cookies

oh wow! just loved it! really great variety of home made cookies and ice-cream in a great combination - not too pricey and just on the spot! the owner is a real sweetie - my Cookee fell as soon as i bought it so he just replaced it with a new one free of charge! great place!

Ice cream delish. One main concern that really does affect the overall experience. The fridges are maybe one or two degrees (Celsius) too warm and normal ice cream should take about 3 mins before starting to melt but here it is *approx* 1 mins. See photo for melting ice cream reference (ice cream is flavour of the week and chocolate coffee- chocolate coffee was less melty). Please change or might move my business elsewhere (to Golda)

Absolutely amazing for an after dinner treat. The flavour choices are decadent and the topping choices bountiful. I was allowed to "taste" a few before trying (hurrah!) and went with a combo of the chocolate with almond and caramel and the magnum pistachio flavours. Both were brimming with flavour as was. Nutty, creamy scoops of awesomeness and very reasonably priced. I haven't stopped raving about it since and I'm pretty sure I will miss this place the most when I leave. Very very happy customer. Thank you!!

Probably the best gelato in Israel. The cookie cream flavor is just divine.

Really good quality of ice cream and yogurt. The place is very popular and there many people most of the time. the staff been nice and helpful. Great place to visit.

Great service, a lot of topics (less than usual because of the Jewish holiday passover), but still amazing. Highly recommended. Around the area you can find a lot of bars!

Great Italian ice in bohemian neighbourhood.. If you enjoy strolling through a neighbourhood like Florence with a more local touch , and colours , just pop in here! You can sit outside as well and watch people.

Service was awesome and the gelato is incredible! Very clean place including the toilets are super clean! It’s 11:48pm and I’m thinking of taking a 5 minute walk from where I’m staying in Tel Aviv to get some Anita’s right now! Yummy! I love that they’re open late.

Rich variety of sweet and savoury pastries. Best tuna sandwich 😋 by far! Definitely 5 stars

Great peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Amazing vegan cakes

Peastaris are delicious , qatily is very good, ang rhe service is delish and considered

Great bakery. They have sandwiches during the weekday mornings and more food on Fridays.

We can't go through the week without buying one of their delicious food

High quality pastries. Very good service

Great cakes, jachnun and bread. Not cheap though

Excellent choice for bakery. Amazing high quality bread. The French baguette is a must!!. Coffee is also surprisingly good, unfortunately in paper cup, but still really good, almost barista quality. I really recommend for a quick breakfast...

The croissant was great. The service was excellent, super nice staff.

Had a 33 shekel sandwich here. Too dry with no spices and the bread was too stale. Typical western taste.

Good pizza, good soups

Although Sarona market is not my cup of tea, I like this place and especially the Almond croissant. Lots of selection. Prices are fair

A fine bakery , excellent sandwiches.

Awesone bread and other pastries. Don't miss the salty nor the sweet ones, just try one of each, you won't regret it!

Beautiful, cute little place, tons of sweets, with vegan options, super delicious, we took the vegan cinnamon roll, brownie and banana muffin, all were super good! Would love to see even more vegan options🥰🥰

Wow. Arrived really late on Friday and there was nothing left but a brownie. It was quite expensive but it was love at first bite. Greatest brownie I've had. Too bad they are open for more days during the week. A week after I came back for the cinnabon. Not as good as the brownie, but awesome still. A MUST!

Wow! This place is awesome! Take away or a quick bite, you can easily fall in love with the pastries here. Great cheese cake, great huge cookies. Go on and keep doing good to people with your wonderful gift.

Pretty yummy and unique baked goods here. Sometimes the things they make just don't really taste like the original way they taste back in the US though, like the black and white cookie and the Boston cream donut. Still tasty in its own way, but not like the real authentic thing back home. I will keep trying all of their donuts and pies regardless since it's the closest thing I can find here to a real American bakery!

Best place in Tel Aviv for American desserts such as Doughnut cupcakes, Cake's and their challa is amazing! Highly recommended,and very nice staff! :)

Wow, so delicious and so many options for dessert. Totally recommend!

A high class American style bakeshop, offering cookies and cupcakes. Friday morning you can get fresh donuts. The items are very expensive. Good for once in a while cravings but still not something to die for.

Honestly 10/10. Amazing place, great vibe and INCREDIBLE options! My ONLY qualm is that they aren’t on Wolt, so if I want a little gluten free pick me up I have to shlep 45min to them. I really love coming here in general because it’s delicious and I just feel 100% knowing all of it is gluten free.

This morning I went for the first time to Blikemach after hearing a lot about it, and we really enjoyed. It’s kosher halavi, and completely gluten free! It’s a bakery, that recently opened an American style diner too (with things like grilled cheese, mozzarella sticks, nachos, etc.) We got apple pie, oreo cheesecake and a chocolate chip cookie. (as well as coffee and hot chocolate). There are a few tables and chairs to sit outside (no indoor seating). The apple pie and chocolate chip cookie were delicious. The cheesecake was dense and very rich, a little too much for our liking. We bought a nice size challah, but didn’t try it yet. There was a lot of staff behind the counter helping people so even though there were a few other customers at the counter in front of me, the line to be helped didn’t take long. I highly recommend, and definitely plan to go back to try additional things.

This bakery is the start of something magical - if you are gluten intolerant of any degree, Bli Kemah will bring you the joy of enjoying pastries, bread and delicious goodies! We stopped by and had a sample tasting of cookies, cakes and breads and everything tasted fantastic. Not the usual crumbly, crackery and strange tasting gluten free substitute - this was authentically TASTY! Also, Dan and Oren approached us and we had a little pleasant chat (they are so nice!) - they offered us two free small cakes which we happily indulged in the nice atmosphere of the place. I am definitely going back and Dan/Oren if you are seeing this; YOU ROCK! thank you very much!

An amazing and delicious all gluten free bakery. The place itself a bit small in size but the selection is very good, you can find breads, pitas, bread sticks, macaroons cookies (and a lot more). I was very impressed with how good the bread tasted like! Will come back again for sure. Notice that you have to go inside the buildings area in order to reach the bakery ( not located straight on the street). It'll be on the right. The place throws occasionally pop-up stores where you can find special treats and delicious donuts!

The most amazing gluten free (celiac-safe) pastries and baked goods. Wonderful and welcoming owners, too. Absolutely worth a visit!

The good: Their products are delicious (including the coffee); The service is great. The bad: no parking (unless it's Friday morning); There was a long line which reminded me of Soviet Union bread lines; Expensive - but all of the gluten-free product in every place are, so that's not an exception. The ugly: To have a Chala you need to go early in the morning. If you come after 10:00 there's almost no bread (but again, it's not their fault that there's a demand for their products). PS: the photo was taken around 09:40.

One of the best backery gluten free. My favorite is Pistachio Crawson, Worth the money and the the calories

Tasty!
