About this spot
Basma Coffee is one of the best spots in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv. Israeli food borrows from everywhere — Middle Eastern, North African, European — and somehow makes it all its own.
💡 Tips before you go
- Hummus is served warm and scooped with pita — never cold from a tub
- Friday afternoon everything closes for Shabbat — eat early or plan ahead
- Iced coffee (cafe kar) is an obsession — every café has its version
- The shuk (market) has the best street food — Carmel Market in Tel Aviv, Mahane Yehuda in Jerusalem
