I dont understand the risk-reward factor the owner is taking

How much does he stand to loose by juts adding Rabbanut?
It seems like he has a lot more to loose if he gets caught the way he is now?
good question.
Anyone here know how much a rabbanut costs per month?

Why don't you first verify that the theory is true? (do resturaunts sometimes only have badatz and not pay rabbanut and would have a reason to hide their badatz for some strange reason)

Has anybody seen any other restaurant do this (hide their Rubin, Badaz hecher)?

Seems so strange wondering if this place is one of the only ones

To be fair, this is more like a kiosk than a restaurant. There's no seating or indoor space.

That place has the weirdest hours for a coffee shop, officially only opens at 11am. When I was in Jerusalem in the summer, I walked past many times and it was never open. It was so strange.
It boggles my mind that you cannot get a normal iced coffee or cold brew in Israel!

Most places when you ask for that, they just make you one tiny espresso over ice cubes and they pour in tons of milk.

And across the street at J2. And at Levy's Place (formerly Holy Bagel) on Paran. Haven't seen it anywhere else. (Eddy's barber shop and coffee station has been after me to make him cold coffee every morning.)
