Despite initial administrative delays, this café, nestled beside the Maison Kitsuné boutique, stands as the fourth in North America, complementing counterparts in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Vancouver.
Crafted by Kitsuné’s in-house architecture and design studio, the 700-square-foot space boasts the distinctive artwork of Californian artist Jeffrey Sincich, creating an inviting, market-inspired ambiance. The café’s facade, adorned with Sincich’s mural and featuring white oak tables, seamlessly blends artistic flair with functional elegance.
Sincich, the artist, thoughtfully incorporates relatable elements into the mural, such as the word ‘Paris’ and the founding year ‘2002,’ enriching the café’s unique character. In partnership with Japanese audio brand Rotel, Café Kitsuné ensures a premium sound experience for visitors.
The menu showcases Café Kitsuné’s signature blend, locally roasted in New York City, alongside exclusive coffee specialties like Höjicha cream cold brew and Matcha crème latte. Culinary offerings include the Parisian Baguette, fox-shaped sable cookies by LA-native and French-trained chef Sharon Wang, and collaborative creations with Beepy Bella, an LA-based accessories brand.
To commemorate the Los Angeles opening, Café Kitsuné collaborates with Beepy Bella on a special capsule collection, featuring handcrafted glass-blown rings, fox-themed pendant necklaces, and hats. The café also presents Maison Kitsuné’s ready-to-wear, accessories, and tableware.
This strategic expansion aligns with Café Kitsuné’s transformation beyond traditional cafés, incorporating roasteries, bars, and restaurants. With a global footprint of 35 stores and 27 cafés, Maison Kitsuné continues to seamlessly integrate fashion, art, and culinary experiences.
