Really wanted to try their coffee but the machine was broken....so we had matcha latte(with Oat milk). It was also good. Even though it's counter service, the cashier and barister were very friendly
Really cool and large cafe in a super classy location. Coffee is great at this location just as they are in Paris. This location is very popular and often quite crowded, so expect a wait at peak times. Lots of seating inside and tables out front, which you have to battle for on nice days. If you're a fan of Maison Kitsuné this is a must visit.
Really good sandwiches in the Japanese style, although the bread is English style and not Japanese light so not exactly authentic but closest I’ve seen in London. The katsu sandwich was really tasty and I really enjoyed the egg one too. 2 coffees, 1 pastry and 2 sandwiches was £30. Good vibes. Some staff were not polite.
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.
Definitely on the pricey side, but the food is great and the coffee is great. I would definitely go again on a special occasion because of the price.
Seating does normally get taken up, you can definitely sit outside if weather's nice but given English weather that's quite temperature.
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
Amazing terrace in the middle of Belgravia and Kingsbridge! Very good food and good cocktails! I also love the chilling and summer vibes ! I recommend!

📝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 😋
I feel like most people choose the egg sando or the katsu sando, however on the day I went it was near closing, so they ran out. They had one sandwich left, it was the smoked salmon, slaw, and seaweed mayo one. I hate slaw. But I LOVED this sandwich. Not sure how they managed to make something so delicious. One of the best sandwiches of my life. Skip the egg & katsu and come for this, you won't regret it. Matcha and strawberry eclair was good too!
Lovely desserts. Had the apricot and pistachio cake.
Also had ice strawberry matcha 👍👍👍 yum.
Would visit again if in the area although a bit expensive.. and also didn't have any sandos when we went
Finally try cafe kitsune ✨
Had the caramel miso rice pudding brioche, it’s good, flaky enough and the filling is not too sweet! Latte is fine not impressed.
Modern and chic little cafe located near Kensington. The coffee isn't bad but it isn't spectacular. Check it out if you're really close by otherwise not a big deal if you miss it.
My top 5 cafe in London. Please Go!
The place is near Harrods and Sloane street.
I recommended Egg Sando and Katsu sando.
Sushi as it's best!
We were lucky sitting outside under sunprotected umbrella for 3,5hrs enjoying fabulous food and drinks. Absolutely worth it, even though not cheap. Thank you!
Well come back!
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.
