In 1998, Koby and Yossi Sherf opened the first branch of Café Hillel on Jerusalem's Hillel Street, the source of the chain's name.[2] They envisioned a coffee shop with a relaxed "Jerusalemite" atmosphere serving world-class coffee and food.[3]
Most of the branches are run by franchises, with only two or three owned directly by the company.[4]
In 2003, seven people were killed and over 50 wounded in the Café Hillel bombing, a suicide attack at Jerusalem's German Colony branch of the cafe.[5]
The chain now has over 25 branches around the country.[3][6] Cafe Hillel sells its own private label coffee and has a red and black color scheme.[1]
