All-day Israeli–Mediterranean cafe on Wythe where shakshuka, hummus, and big Israeli breakfasts anchor a menu built for sharing. It’s the neighborhood’s go-to when a table needs proper brunch plates, mezze, and wine without leaving South Williamsburg.
Must-Try Dishes:
Israeli breakfast with salads, spreads, and pita, Classic shakshuka, Hummus with falafel
What Makes it Special: Israeli comfort cooking that works equally well for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

K'Far
8.2
Israeli bakery-cafe in The Hoxton’s lobby where kubaneh, Jerusalem bagels, and elaborate brunch plates lean Mediterranean but feel distinctly Tel Aviv. The glassy atrium and pastry counter make it as suited to a solo coffee as to a lingering weekend breakfast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pistachio sticky bun, Jerusalem bagel with smoked salmon, Pita French toast
What Makes it Special: Israeli bakery-cafe where pastries and brunch plates feel more like a destination than a standard hotel restaurant.

Falafel pita sandwich, Chicken shawarma platter, Hummus with toppings and warm pita
What Makes it Special: Fast, inexpensive falafel and shawarma that have anchored Bedford Avenue’s Middle Eastern cravings for years.

7.6
Williamsburg branch of the downtown cafe blending American comfort with Mediterranean and Israeli touches in a bright, tightly packed room. It’s used primarily for brunch and casual dinners built around shakshuka, grilled chicken, and salads rather than long, drawn-out meals.
Must-Try Dishes:
Green shakshuka, Peri-peri chicken, Rosewater waffles
What Makes it Special: Lively Mediterranean-inflected cafe where brunch classics get Israeli flourishes and the room stays bright and social.
