The trend Israelis can't stop loving – and the five new spots you must know

They pop up everywhere – near fields, in forests, in city parks – and make our day with a hot coffee and a perfect view. Coffee carts have become one of the most Israeli trends, and now five new ones are joining, bringing much more than just coffee.

Yoava is a coffee cart in the Golan Heights, located at Pitaya Farm near the moshav Givat Yoav, which feels like a getaway to South America. Three partners, Alon, Ilan, and Madi, established a smoothie and coffee cart in the heart of the orchard facing the Sea of Galilee, bringing a South American atmosphere with live samba, salsa, bossa nova, and more.

On the menu, you’ll find acai bowls, papaya salad, mixed salads with pitaya fruit – considered a real superfood – as well as classic treats like toasts, Jachnun on Saturdays, and fresh pastries. The farm also hosts fruit picking and creative activities for children. Soon, a Pitaya Festival will take place here (who would have thought!) with a performance by Jimbo J and food stalls, on September 22 at sunset.

A coffee cart located in the heart of a historic site, where Kibbutz Netzer Sirani was established. The area includes preserved buildings and trees over a hundred years old, unique buildings recently renovated, which formerly served as a rabbit farm and a field kitchen during the settlement period. Today, they are surrounded by lawns with breathtaking views of the Jerusalem hills and the Judean foothills.

On the menu, enjoy fresh sandwiches, salads, pizzas, focaccias, and morning pastries alongside coffee, juices, and hot chocolate.

Among the many memorials established in recent years, here’s a look at a coffee cart that offers more than just excellent coffee. Beyond its fine kosher standards, pastries, salads, and the lake view, you’ll find inspiration about the value of true friendship.

Meet Mika Coffee Cart, founded by Shon Bar Shlomo, who is also the pastry chef of the cart, in memory of her two friends Maya and Karina, who were killed at the Nova Party on October 7. The name Mika was created by combining their names, and the cart has become a symbol of remembrance and life.

It is located in the heart of Hadarim Park in Rehovot, between an artificial lake with ducks, a petting zoo, wide lawns, and a playground – a perfect stop with family or friends. The menu includes sandwiches, salads, pizzas, focaccias, handmade pastries and desserts, alongside excellent coffee, cold drinks, vegan options, and gluten-free choices.

D'ALUSHA'S is a coffee cart in the Boney Ha’ir Square in Ganei Tikva, led by Hila Kay (Cordon Bleu graduate). The place offers quality coffee, fresh juices, sandwiches, and treats with a focus on health, sustainability, and recycling. The cart was created by Hila, a cancer survivor, to provide herself and other survivors a supportive community space with a green corner, serving healthy and delicious food.

Because of this sensitivity, the menu also includes gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, vegetarian, and preservative-free options. Delicious and healthy – that’s D'ALUSHA'S.

Imagine a bite of a pastry with Ispahan cream, an almond tart disk with whipped rose cream? Dreamy, right?! All this and more awaits at Café Sataf, which isn’t exactly a classic coffee cart but a new café-patisserie in the heart of Sataf Forest, led by pastry chef Stéphanie Biton from Paris.

The café serves fresh pastries and sandwiches with French aromas, where the coffee is just an excuse. Alongside it, enjoy a hypnotic panoramic green view of the Jerusalem hills – a perfect stop for cyclists and hikers in the area, even on Saturdays.

The new coffee carts are not just a caffeine stop – they are a pause to breathe, a small story with big flavor. So where will you start your next week – by the Sea of Galilee, among the Judean Hills, or maybe in a green park in the heart of the city?
