Coffee with a friend

Doris was a Charing host that let us see her life and history. As people who were also a minority, my family and I related to much or her life. We also were able to better understand the complexities of living in Israel and learned a lot. I recommend Doris's coffee hosting to any who wants to understand the complex social factors that obtain in Israel.

Energy and intimacy

I took a group of students from an American university and they loved the experience--it was one of their favorite activities in the several weeks we spent in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Doris has tremendous energy and is a wonderful storyteller. We loved the personal elements (as well as the coffee).

Authentic Jaffa experience

We were a group of 10 walking Ajami neighborhood in Jaffa. We ended up in Doris' beautiful house. She is a gifted story teller. For almost 2 hours we listened to her story of growing up in a Christian family in Jaffa. Highly recommend. The hospitality and coffee are also great!

Get to know Jaffa from a personal angle

Miriam C, 04-06-2021

We spent a lovely, cosy couple of hours (we gained extra time being the last group of the day) with the lovely, vivacious Doris.

She entertained us with cultural information about the Arab communities in Jaffa (mainly Christian), her own life, and treated us to her family's very own brand of coffee (Antoine) and baklava. She provided plenty of information and laughs, and I personally was deliged to be in an Arab home in Jaffa!

Don't miss it.
