The second I spotted a Café Kitsuné coffee cup on instagram, I knew I had to visit the cafe that the iconic French brand, Maison Kitsuné, had opened in the Palais Royal. I admit, the fact that, on a frigid morning, the cafe opened late because one of the baristas was doing her make-up – in full view of everyone waiting outside – didn’t thrill me. And I was baffled by the fact neither barista seemed at all comfortable speaking in French, although they seemed able to manage taking orders without any problems. But despite that, there’s no denying the charm of the tiny cafe inside the old tailoring and weaving shop… although considering the very limited seating capacity, I might recommend taking your coffee to go if the weather permits!
