[6] Amongst its renowned customers was the painter Isaac Frenkel Frenel, the architect Yaakov Rechter, the poets Natan Alterman, Avraham Shlonsky, Ori Lishpitz, Shmulk kraus, Leah Goldberg, Alexander Penn; the actress, Hanna Rovina; the musicians, Arik Einstein and Uri Zohar and more.

In 1979, Hatzkel passed away, and his widow Leah, along with her children Moshe Ish Kasit and Tzvia Litman, continued to run the establishment.

The humorists of the time interpreted the name as an acronym for "Ani Rotse Rak Teh" (I Only Want Tea), reflecting the economic situation of the members of "Yahdav".

[4] At the end of the 1990s, a severe and prolonged conflict emerged between the owner of Kassit and the bohemian community from its early years.

The owner accused them of deterring a younger crowd and insisting on continuing the traditions of purchasing as though it were a grocery store and other complaints.

On the other hand, representatives of the older generation argued that the place is a cultural and urban institution of the highest order.

The new owners showed sensitivity to the heritage of the place, designating an internal space as "Kassit Corner" adorned with pictures from the heyday of the bohemians.

Despite the tribute, it became evident that the older crowd preferred the traditional seating outside the coffeehouse around the tables in front of the cafe.
