A young and optimistic institution.

Browsing through the archives is a very complex matter, sweet-bitter-tearful even without meaning to, which should be done with open eyes and a wide heart.
All the more so when it comes to a restaurant, certainly when you walk proudly towards a dramatic birthday and find in the archive photos from the days when huge queues were still dragging outside the first Cellcom stores in Israel.

, however, less in matters of panic from the time that has passed, and more in looking into the nostalgic milestone that is approaching her for good - the 27th birthday of the Coffee Bar.
And if it is possible that the parent restaurant that launched a food and culture empire in 1994 will continue to celebrate birthdays and easily skip over Club 27 forever, what good.

Ruthie Brodo is looking for the day after

"The First Child."

"The Coffee Bar was the first child, everything grew out of it, relying on the cycles and its success," she told four girls from the Walla!
Food, with a futuristic look at moving the restaurant to Rothschild Boulevard.
This was before the Corona, and before many other business-culinary events.
The cards have been dealt since, but not the mother ship.
"For many years the Coffee Bar has attracted people," she recalled, "when we just opened we would cross the road every evening, looking at it and being amazed that people come to this stinking street, inside this enclave of diligent hand. Now I think we should get out."
Did not happen, and maybe if it had happened, this birthday would not have happened either?
"The day after".

The early days of the Corona caught Brodo in a natural survival mode.
"We will do everything to be here the day after," she promised, while trying to distill the discourse a little optimism, morality and private soul-searching.
"There is a sense of modesty and inner convergence. To me it is the best and most beautiful thing that has come out of it," she admitted at the time, "these are real proportions, which require us to be more modest. It is always good."
The day after is already here, roughly, and the Coffee Bar's birthday celebrations are expected to rejoice on his shoulders, with a series of shared meals hosted in his familiar space by chefs and sanities that Brodo and chef Ohad Salomon truly love.
The first will be the chef Luna Zreik from the excellent Luna Bistro in Nazareth.
The second is expected to be shelled and the third you should book a place from now on, but we'll get to that later.
It's not exactly modesty and not really converging inward, but who can blame her?
Do you know many other places in Israel (and in the world) that need 28 candles for a cake?
