The Katsefet ice cream branch on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, open Sunday to Friday and on Saturday night

Katsefet Jerusalem Ben Yehuda is at 2 Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, one of the 35 branches on the chain's list. The chain calls its offer a "Luna Park of flavours": ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, milkshakes and fruit shakes, with its whipped cream free on most products. The branch is open Sunday to Thursday from 8:30 to midnight, and on Saturday night it opens an hour after Shabbat ends and stays open until 00:30; its page gives the Friday hours as 08:30 until two hours before Shabbat begins, which is not a fixed clock time, so no Friday hours are shown. It is on the Jerusalem religious council's kosher list at this address, and the chain's branch list marks it kosher mehadrin, Chatam Sofer Bnei Brak. The chain's branch list tags this branch as accessible, with an accessible entrance, access for the hard of hearing and accessible toilets.

Sources disagree on these hours

These are the hours that the chain's branch list gives for this branch, read on 27 October 2026. The list's Friday row is headed "Friday and holiday eves". For Saturday the list gives only a time after Shabbat ends and no daytime hours. The page adds "or until the last customer" to the weekday closing time and suggests phoning before coming to the branch. Its page gives the Friday hours as 08:30 until two hours before Shabbat begins, which is not a fixed clock time, so no Friday hours are shown.
