“Wow, this is my favorite place in Jerusalem! Best for those who love and are excited by pastries that are a work of art! (The photos speak for themselves) The place is intimate and so inviting, the view is simply breathtaking! A feeling of time travel to the HOLLYLAND !!”
“A high quality food with amazing view from the top floor of the David tower makes this place to qualify to one of the best places for breakfast in Israel.”
“The pastries are just awesome, they might be the best I‘ve tried in Israel. Matcha with oat milk was also good quality one, staff is friendly, the view is stunning”

Maxi Rapaport★We ordered a sparking wine bottle and a cheese platter only to be told a minute later by another staff that neither are on the menu tonight. We then wanted to choose a wine bottle to order and they first brought one wine glass for two of us to try and then switched to pouring wine into water glasses, not wine, with barely half a sip to taste. The food was fine, but nobody came to ask if everything was OK or if we wanted anything else. For a place that puts this much effort into marketing, perhaps some of it would be better spent on training your staff.
Abe Kuhr★★★★★Ancient Walls, Modern Beats, and the Art of Espresso: A Morning at Hamigdal Coffee Rating: ★★★★★ If there is a place in Jerusalem where the pulse of history beats in perfect sync with a modern, artistic rhythm, it is undoubtedly Hamigdal Coffee. Tucked away at the new entrance pavilion of the Tower of David Museum, just a stone's throw from the Jaffa Gate, this spot has quickly transformed from a mere museum café into a cultural destination in its own right. From the moment you approach the entrance, the vibe is unmistakable. You aren't just walking into a coffee shop; you are stepping into a curated experience. The location itself is a showstopper—encased in glass and Jerusalem stone, offering a breathtaking, front-row seat to the ancient citadel walls. But unlike many tourist-heavy spots that rest on the laurels of their view, Hamigdal works hard to create an atmosphere that feels fresh, young, and undeniably fun. The first thing that hits you is the music. It’s rare for a café to na

Sofia Kavitsky★The lousiest service I have seen in a long time. Waiters are clueless on why they are even there. Were waiting for our order to be taken for 20 minutes with an empty place. Waiter brought 1 glass of wine for us to taste although there were two of us. When we said that the first wine is not good for us they brought a ridiculous amount of the other wine, as if they do not have enough. Later saw a member of the staff drinking wine at the bar… The bread was stale. No one checked if we need more food (plates are small, so we wanted to order more dishes), but the waiter was nowhere to be seen. No one offered us a dessert. I recommend against visiting this restaurant and bringing them money, this is not a great experience.
Jane Vodolazskaya★★★★★The pastries are just awesome, they might be the best I‘ve tried in Israel. Matcha with oat milk was also good quality one, staff is friendly, the view is stunning
avior sabag★★★★★I visited a lovely café where I experienced the perfect combination of quality and service. The selection of sweet and savory pastries was impressive, fresh, and especially delicious. The coffee was high-quality and perfectly brewed, and the courteous service created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for another visit!
Mikhail Andronov★★★★★Before walking into the Tower of David Museum, there's a very cozy yet very modern loft style café with the most delicious desserts and very good coffee.
