Cafe Kadosh was opened in Jerusalem in 1967 by Meir Kadosh, who has since passed the business on to his son, Itzik, and Itzik’s wife, Keren, who currently run both the regular kitchen and the pastry kitchen upstairs.The cafe is designed in a neat, classic European style that makes for a decidedly old-school atmosphere, and, as Keren says, is a “warm, crowded, homey place.”
When it comes to the food, Kadosh offers a kosher dairy menu that includes a variety of fresh pasta dishes, fresh and smoked fish, quiches, lasagnas, salads, sandwiches, baked goods and desserts.
What really sets the place apart is that everything is made in-house, from the pasta to the bread to the pastries. Cafe Kadosh was voted number one in an article on JPost Online “Top 5 Coziest Coffee Shops.”

MoreI walk past this place all the time and there is always a line of people waiting to get in. Today there was none so I went int. I wish I had not done so. Waited for ages between each item. The coffee came first wo I had to drink it cold. The sandwich was mediocre and the cake downright unpalatable. The bill was 103 shekels and the table I was given most uncomfortably squeezed into a spot where several crossings took place. Never again but still, I wonder why people like the place?!

“Bad food and rude service”
In spite of the bad reviews we saw we decided to give this place a try. We ordered a profiterole that they claimed is their flag dish. It tasted bad with dough we could barely cut through. The manager was very rude, basically told us it's our fault we don't like it and tough luck....

Stay away, there are plenty of other great places in Jerusalem.
