Known for its Paris-meets-Tokyo aesthetic, this cult favourite café serves freshly ground coffee, iced-coffees, and classic pastries and cakes with a Japanese twist. Whether you're grabbing a coffee to go (the Mochaccino's are a favourite) or enjoying their elegant Motcomb Street sun-terrace, make sure to try their double-baked matcha croissant or fox-themed biscuits, paying homage to the brand name ("Kitsune" means fox in Japanese).
