Based in Tel Aviv, Cafe Otef is owned and operated entirely by those who survived the October 7 Hamas onslaught. Most products are exclusively from the Gaza envelope and the cafe features gourmet chocolates based on recipes by Dvir Karp, a chocolatier from Re’im who was murdered at the kibbutz while defending his children during the massacre.
