Think you’re a froyo connoisseur? Definitely check out Leggenda for not only delectable frozen yogurt, but for the experience as well. The way that they place the toppings (of your choosing) at the bottom of the cup allows for a delightful and tasty surprise just as your ice cream begins to melt. With their options of non-traditional toppings, such as caramelized cashews, you are sure to have a unique time at this one stop sweet shop.

Locations on Dizengoff and Rothschild

3. Cremerie De L'eclair

On the corner of King George street in Tel Aviv, lies the holy grail of ice cream sandwiches: Cremerie De L’eclair. With a menu offering much more than the classic ice cream sandwich, this dessert heaven serves ice cream in a Hungarian pastry twister, along with gelato or ice cream in classic cones. Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of this unique post dinner destination are the line of fillings (custards, chocolates and more) that are scattered atop the small shop. These fillings can be put on top of or inside of any of the sweet treats served at this small but delightful shop.

With several locations across the Tel Aviv-Yafo area, Abulafia is a bakery that has been around since 1879. Open 24 hours, Abulafia offers traditional Israeli baked goods that really hit the spot-- especially after a long night out. We recommend keeping it classic with their potato boureka (warmed up, of course!) or a pizza sambusak, which is a white flour pastry dough filled with pizza.

An example of gourmet late night food, Nununu prides itself on “dirty dining.” They are a brand that is “fat and unapologetic,” according to their website. Specializing in brioche buns, or milk buns with a wide range of fillings. From mac n’ cheese to ice cream, there is something to fulfill whatever you’re craving. With a 2 a.m. closing time, there are plenty of hours in the day to go and grab yourself some Nununu.
