There is an abundance of coffee shops across Jerusalem and it can be easy to get lost trying to decide where to go! To help, I’ve compiled a list of what I believe to be the top places for coffee in Jerusalem. Having lived in Jerusalem for over seven years and worked from coffee shops for the majority of that time, I truly think that if you appreciate a good cup of Joe, these are the places to go. But whatever you do, please just don’t go to Aroma or Cofix! There are so many local, non chain coffee shops to support that will be cheaper and better quality than getting a fast food chain coffee ..read more

Last year, Royal Caribebean began sailing from Haifa for the first time.

Headed to London? I found that the city of London was one of the most accommodating and knowledgable about Celiac Disease that I have encountered in all my travels. It felt like everywhere I turned there were gluten free signs and symbols, particularly in the food markets like Camden Market and Borough Market.    Here are 6 places that I ate on my trip to London that I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting: Neat Burger: They had AMAZING allergy protocols and the girl at the counter was so excited when I said I was celiac.

Have you ever heard of Merkaza? If you aren’t familiar you definitely should be! Merkaza is one of the largest supermarkets in the Middle East and with 2 stories it is by far the biggest supermarket in Israel.   A few months ago, my then-fiancé (now husband) and I went to explore the store in the hopes of finding some fun new products as we were getting tired of finding the exact same offerings available at every store in Israel. And let’s just say, Merkaza did not disappoint. Parking is stress-free, as there’s free parking available after the first two hours. Trust me, you’ll want to s ..read more

If you don’t follow me on Instagram or Tiktok, you should, and also you likely don’t know that I have an undying love for coffee carts. Since Corona, when I was unable to travel abroad and began spending more time exploring Israel, I have found a passion for visiting coffee carts. They are often in very random locations that you likely never would have gotten to otherwise and that is exactly why I love them. They have been such a fun way to get to know Israel and if you’re looking for the best coffee carts you’ve come to the right place. Previous image Next image Blooms Coffee ..read more

Over the last year, I have tried LITERALLY every gluten free pasta available in Israel. It has been a long journey and I have had what must be more than 50 bowls of pasta for this…. but after all of my experiments I have come to a conclusion: Ricco gluten free pasta is better than all the rest!

So here are the best gluten free pastas I tried: (For reference, nearly all of the pastas listed below are available at Gluten in Even Yehudah or for delivery via her webs ..read more
