Café Cezar Opens a New Bakery-Café at the Entrance to Its Restaurant

A new bakery-café opened today at Café Cezar in Rehovot, one year after the restaurant moved to a new home. The previously empty space at the entrance, designed in an Italian style, has now been turned into a bakery built around a display case, seating, and a menu of sandwiches, salads, coffee, pastries, cakes, breads, and delicatessen items selected with Ruthi Brodo and Lian Levi’s bakery team.

The café sits in an urban garden between two high-tech towers in the city’s science park, with wooden walkways, decorative pools, mulberry trees, umbrellas, and greenery meant to create a pastoral feel despite the business district setting. The new venue is positioned as a stylish place for coffee, a sandwich, or a salad.

The display case includes sandwiches on croissants, brioche buns, or soft milk rolls, with fillings such as egg salad, smoked salmon, tuna salad, scrambled eggs, and lamb bacon, priced at 28 to 57 shekels. The menu also includes chicken Caesar focaccia, sabich focaccia, beet and goat cheese focaccia, and tuna pretzel, along with classic salads such as Caesar, niçoise, and caprese with beet, priced at 48 to 57 shekels.

Pastries and cakes in the case include New York cheesecake and lemon pie, with additional items like maple-pecan Danish and cube-shaped chocolate Danish priced at 7 to 18 shekels. More cakes, breads, and delicacies are said to come from the bakery of the R2M group. Café Cezar is located at 15 HaMada Street, Science Park, Rehovot, and is not kosher.
