Cafe Kitsune At Pantechicon

This café offers a delightful combination of excellent coffee and a vibrant atmosphere. The abundance of seating options ensures you'll find a comfortable spot to enjoy your drink. However, it's worth noting that they don't serve filter coffee, which might disappoint some coffee enthusiasts. Despite this limitation, the quality of their other coffee options more than makes up for it. The positive ambiance and friendly service create a welcoming space for patrons to relax and socialize. If you're not in need of filter coffee, this place is definitely worth a visit for a dose of good coffee and great vibes.

A very well established and popular café (they also have a branches in France where they are originally from, Japan, Korea, China, Thailand and the US). Aside from the usual coffees, the menu is partly Japanese inspired but done with exquisite French patisserie flair. Have been coming here as a regular for a few years since it opened, it is housed in Pantechnicon which is a Scandinavian-Japanese concept store, and home to other restaurants following a similar theme. Pros: • Pretty fast service apart from the height of summer when London is busy with tourists • Delicious pastries and coffee and often the menu changes •Offers wifi but use of tablets and computers requested to be kept to a minimum to retain a peaceful ambience (I think there was a timeframe between the morning until 4 pm where you couldn’t use a laptop - they don’t really check though) • Dog friendly and not far from Hyde Park, about 10 minutes walk from Knightsbridge station Cons (not bad but management can take note): •Limited lunch offerings - menu attached - instead of having two types of soba salad maybe makes more sense to have the veggie one and option to add trout etc. So you can make space for another savoury item that isn’t a pastry. Like onigiri rice balls/something simple

Lovely cafe, I loved the atmosphere and I really enjoyed the matcha latte and the pastries were quite nice. The staff weren’t the most friendly but they were not rude, they just weren’t the most welcoming. Overall, I did enjoy my time as it was a pleasant experience for a calm and chilled experience to either study or chat with a friend.

🍽️Food: 4/5 🤵🏽‍♂️Service: 5/5 🪑Ambiance: 4/5 📝Notes: This place is chill, on a very nice street during the day. The lady at the counter was really nice and friendly :) The Iced Matcha wasn’t bad, I really liked the Cinnamon Roll but when it would break down, it would go everywhere. I think its cuz of the wooden cutleries as its not a good idea to use them since the Cinnamon Roll is a bit hard 😅 Overall, I wouldn’t mind coming back here again 😋
