Jezabel s Argentine Cafe evolving with its owner
Jezabel Careaga opened Jezabel s Argentine Cafe in 2010 bringing her Argentinian cuisine to Fitler Square, with a focus on empanadas and other specialties.
She expanded into West Philadelphia and has now consolidated the business on 48th street.
Over the years she has grown from a cafe to now offering handcrafted furniture she designs and builds.
The restaurant has three spaces. The first is the cafe, focusing on takeout and delivery during the pandemic and featuring an array of baked goods and Argentine specialties.
She added an open kitchen where she teaches cooking classes and prepares the menu for the cafe along with her culinary team.
