A café-restaurant in the heart of Rehavia, open from morning until midnight, with breakfasts, diner-style lunches and a lively bar at night.

Cafe Yehoshua opened on Aza Street in Rehavia in 2009 as a neighbourhood café and grew into a café-restaurant. Its site says the crowd changes through the day, students, families and tourists alike: it starts with coffee and generous breakfasts from 8:00 to 12:00, moves on to business lunches in the atmosphere of an American diner from 12:00 to 17:00, and ends as a lively night bar with food, wines and cocktails until midnight. The menu is fitted for vegetarians and vegans, with dishes that can be made vegan, and there are gluten-free dishes and gluten-free bread. Seating is on a first-come basis. Haaretz's critics Amit Aharonson and Yehonatan Cohen headlined their review 'Not kosher, not apologetic, a little decadent', and its site quotes their praise for the hamburger.
