Wunderbares Cafe in historischem Ambiente, persönlich geführt, mit einer sehr privaten Geschichte, von einer beiindruckenden Frau, mit dem besten Hummus, das ich jemals essen durfte und: überhaupts. Kultur. Pur. Auf allen Ebenen. DANKE! Und hoffentlich auf bald

Tolles Café / Restaurant mit leckeren Kuchen und einer kleinen Auswahl an levantischer Speisen. Das Humus ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen. Es lohnt sich auch, sich über die Geschichte des SMAC (Schocken) und des Julius zu beschäftigen.

Wenn man eine Pause braucht vom vielen sehen im Museum kann man im Café Julius vorbei gehen. Ein kleines nettes Café mit toller Auswahl. Alles sehr gemacht auch von der Optik her. Ein angenehmes verweilen lässt es sich auch und dadurch lässt es sich alles genießen.. Freundliches Personal rundet dies ab. (Nur schade die Preise sind ein bisschen zu "teuer".) Aber dan kann man schon hinüber weg sehen wenn man sich ein kleine Verschnaufpause gönnen will. Trotz allem sehr lecker und sehr empfehlenswert. Machen Sie weiter so. Danke.
