Tomer Adam Lenzinger, the mastermind behind Ada Hanina Cafe
In the gorgeous streets of Jaffa close to the Flea Market, Ada Hanina Cafe is a marvellous cafe must-try, an beautiful and creative espresso store providing the very best high quality espresso. As a espresso guru who enjoys attempting totally different espresso outlets, Ada Hanina Cafe is in contrast to another.
Owner Tomer Adam Lenzinger has been working this cafe for 4 years now and hasn’t disenchanted. With his well-crafted blends that includes each darkish and lightweight roasts from the very best espresso bean locations on the earth, you might be assured a superb cup of espresso.
What makes Ada Hanina stand out like another cafe is how Tomer built-in his love of music into the design of the cafe. An ingredient that stands out when you stroll into Ada Hanina is the massive stereo speaker and sound system. Either Tomer himself will play music or he’ll herald others to play.
Tomer advised me he performs music as typically as he can, and he’ll play vinyl. For him, it’s all in regards to the expertise of a restaurant, and for that motive, he designed the store with two doorways, so you’ll be able to go in and exit. “It’s all in regards to the vibe,” Tomer mentioned, “a restaurant is about speaking, exchanging, taking a break, falling in love, or writing a ebook.” Coffee brings folks collectively, he mentioned and that was what was essential within the designing and planning of the cafe, mixing all these points into one.
Sourcing his personal beans, making use of honest commerce
The supply of Tomer’s espresso beans comes from far and broad: together with Africa, Brazil, Columbia, Guatemala, and extra. The farmers they work with are the very best, particularly those in Africa, the beans are wild and are picked by hand, by no means purified, and no use of chemical compounds or salts. You can watch movies of the farmers in motion on their Instagram. The complete concept, says Tomer, is having fewer fingers between us and the farmer. In addition, no matter will not be used within the choice course of will get composted.
The farmers in Ethiopia are being taught find out how to harvest and package deal extra sustainably. It is essential to Tomer that the farmers in Ethiopia are receiving at the very least 70% of the income. Over in Brazil, the terra farmers in Brazil are the primary and finest rainforest alliance espresso farm. Overall, Tomer strives to have the very best connections between him and his farmers to make sure high quality espresso is delivered to his clients.
Sustainable water
Like I beforehand wrote about in my article on Tel Aviv’s Vegan Fest vegan festival, Ada Hanina cafe additionally has vegan choices. The most typical milk choice they use is Oatly oat milk, (you can make your own at home) which is used 70% of the time within the cafe.
According to Tomer, almond milk takes away from the flavour of the espresso and simply turns the espresso into an almond taste. He additionally will not be a fan of the favored development in America of taste components, that are sugary and are used to disguise the style of dangerous espresso. In addition, Ada Hanina solely sells water in containers to remove from the plastic waste challenge.

The straws are from the Upper Galilee and are made from actual straw. Tomer believes the largest environmental challenge in Israel proper now’s the problem of plastic, and needs there have been to-go cups for the cafe that have been made from sustainable materials. He additionally thinks there must be extra inexperienced electrical energy and says we’re shifting manner too slowly in our efforts to make vitality all renewable.

His favourite factor about his job is having clients come as much as him and inform him that that is the best coffee they’ve ever had. He enjoys guiding his clients by the espresso choice course of and discovering the proper espresso for them. The inspiration behind the cafe is all about having “a really, excellent espresso with very, excellent music round,” Tomer mentioned emphasizing the very. He’s met folks all around the globe at espresso conferences who tried their espresso and requested him why he doesn’t bag it and promote it everywhere in the world.
I had a espresso with oat milk, which Tomer mentioned was made with about 20 hand-picked cherries, every having two seeds inside. I additionally had considered one of their finest sellers and considered one of Tomer’s favorites, the Worka Wuri mix from Ethiopia, made wild and in an anaerobic course of, that means it was made fermented with out oxygen.
It was scrumptious and had notes of flowers and fruit. Tomer most significantly desires to share with folks the fantastic thing about espresso and have entry to style the high-quality espresso beans which might be provided inside his cafe in Jaffa. I extremely suggest testing Ada Hanina and asking Tomer all about his espresso. Check out our Green Guide to Jaffa for extra sustainable journey concepts.
