Starbucks in Israel


Israeli’s like their coffee strong. The ubiquitous drink of choice is Turkish coffee, a muddy black pungent liquid that requires patience or will result in a mouthful of coffee grounds. If you are not a fan of this deeply rooted Middle Eastern tradition than you can order an Americano or grab some Nescafe. The Americano may not be filtered the filtered coffee some are used to, but it’s a nice pick me up on your way to work. If it’s summer time, and you are looking for a cooler way to relax in a café, than an ice-café is the way to go. Not to be confused with a “coffee with ice” an ice-café is a slushy blend that resembles a Starbucks frappuccino. Whatever your tastes and no matter what time of year, Israel will have the coffee you’re looking for…at least as long as you’re not looking for Starbucks.
