Etz Cafe is highly regarded as a charming and intimate retreat located just outside Jerusalem's Mamilla district. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the food, with the shakshuka and savory pancakes singled out for their flavor and generous portion sizes. The cafe is also noted for its fresh smoothies and high-quality coffee, making it a popular choice for both a full meal and a quick break. A significant draw for many is that the cafe remains open on Shabbat, though this often leads to it being very busy and occasionally short-staffed. Despite the potential for a wait, the staff is frequently described as exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is described as cozy and relaxed, with the outdoor patio offering a particularly pleasant dining experience.
