You suspect that something is seriously wrong with a ranking system when a humble cafe with 26 "excellent" votes manages to outrank a bona-fide restaurant with 61 "excellent" votes. Don't get me wrong; I have no axe to grind against You Need Coffee. It is a nice small "hole in the wall" kind of place with average to good offerings... More

We searched out this coffee shop and explained what we were looking for. What we actually got was nothing like what we hoped for. Our double shot latte was weak, flavourless and a complete waste of money. Be careful before you have coffee here.....

I haven't been here for a while, but the owner and management is very friendly and they try their best to serve good home brewed coffee. One of the few non-chain coffee places in Jerusalem, this is a local place that deserves support. They do an ice coffee and other types of coffees depending on the day, all steaming hot... More

YES!!! "youneedcoffee"! No doubt about it! Absolutely #1 in every way! The coffee's great, prices very reasonable, and the service is warm & friendly. The personal touch is amazing!

could find reacher and popular cooffe near it. and this on was not kosher cetitied. only 4 poor chairs for outside sitters and almost impossible to seat inside (very very very tiny place) with a disturbing aircondition right on your head. cooffe is... ok but not rich. no special cakes or food options

I love this place. I buy my ground coffee here to make at home, They have the best selection of coffee I've found in Jerusalem. They also have a large tea selection, and all their baked goods are homemade (try the alfajores!). The owners are so nice, and always willing to chat about coffee with you. The only complaint I...

We wandered into this cafe on a rainy Jerusalem afternoon. The coffee was solid and the service was fantastic! The space is small but a great setting to bring a friend or two. If you're there in the colder months you have to try the hot salep, a dangerously good concoction of sweet warm milk, coconut, ground nuts and cinnamon.

I am a very picky coffee drinker, and have specific brands personally imported, and was not very happy with any of the coffee I found on my visit to Israel. Luckily I happened upon this shop, the owner, who is behind the counter, with lots of knowledge on coffee, was able to recommend and mix up a personal cup which... More
