A nice, tranquil cafe inside the beautiful August-Victoria hospital compound. Run by German volunteers and serves coffee and home-made cakes. Free wifi is available.

A great, must visit cafe on the campus of Auguste Victoria. The cafe is comfy with tables and a nice sofa. There is a book shelf that's full of interesting books for reading. The staff are always friendly and kind. It is a place where you can feel welcome. It is easy to access by taking the 275 bus from the Damascus Gate bus station. It drops off right in front of the campus. Plus, the proceeds from the cafe go to support community projects and help other people. Bonus: the Church of the Ascension is right across from the cafe. You can climb to the tower by foot for just 5 NIS and the view is amazing!
