In addition to espresso, cappuccino, americano, macchiato, mocaccino, cold brew and drips, an assortment of specialty coffee drinks unique to the location also are available. The Höjicha Cream Cold Brew combines the taste of Japanese green tea with Cafe Kitsune cold brew, while Kitsune Chocolate is made with the brand’s blend of chocolate, produced by premium French chocolatier, Valrhona. The Los Angeles Exclusive Matcha Creme Latte, a spin on the classic matcha latte, is made here using créme fraiche and served iced.

Rounding out the menu are teas, sweet and savory pastries, internationally influenced small plates, and a curated selection of natural wines and beer. There’s a Parisien baguette with ham, comte ́ and sweet butter, and a Japanese version with kimchi and Spam Musubi on a croissant. Additional selections include a variety of croissants and sweets, including the fox-shaped sable cookie, developed with LA native and French-trained chef Sharon Wang of Sugarbloom Bakery.
