Café Kitsuné West Village

"We had the matcha muffin, which was OK, but the chocolate chip cookie was disappointingly hard and lacking in flavor. Our matcha hot tea and cafe latte with pistachio milk were decent but not outstanding. Unfortunately, the lone restroom was both dirty and had a long line."

"I tried a variety of pastries during my visit, including the chocolate croissant, plain croissant, and the brownie. While all were decent, they didn't quite reach the level of stellar that I was hoping for. The chocolate croissant had a good balance of flakiness and chocolate, and the plain croissant was light, but neither left a lasting impression. The brownie, however, was a pleasant surprise – moist and light If you're a pastry enthusiast seeking a taste explosion, Café Kitsuné might not be the ultimate destination for you. However, if you appreciate a relaxed and stylish atmosphere, this place is worth a visit. The combination of the minimalist decor and the warm ambiance make it an ideal setting for casual meetings or solo work sessions."

"I visited this hip coffee shop last week and tried their distinctive black and white latte for the first time. In my opinion, it stands as one of the finest specialty lattes I've ever experienced in NYC: a stunning visual presentation with meticulously crafted latte art and delightful flavor profiles, blending the espresso's aroma, the butter's silkiness, and a pleasant hint of sweetness from the chocolate. Each sip felt like relishing a masterpiece. . However, returning this Sunday and ordering the same latte 'for here,' the staff members this time were very unwelcoming, and I received it in a takeaway paper cup without the chocolate powder on top. (how is it a 'black and white' latte when you took the 'black' out?!) Although the taste remains excellent, I'm puzzled why my latte wasn't prepared the same way as before. Unsure if it was due to not tipping this time, but I believe not tipping because of the unfriendliness I felt shouldn't warrant a compromised presentation, particularly given the latte's already higher price point. . The flavor of this beverage is great, but I don't like the way I was treated."

"This cafe is a great place to hangout over a cup of coffee. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. The adjacent Maison Kitsune store also offers a small but cute selection of clothing. They also have archive pieces which are offered at a really good discount. The food and coffee themselves were okay, nothing amazing - the cake we tried was on the dry side - but would return for the atmosphere alone."

"Very cute a cozy cafe with lots of space to find seats. They also have a Maison kitsune merch corner where you can purchase apparel. One thing I would say is that they steep their tea in extremely high temperature which makes it less aromatic and flavorful. The sencha I ordered could’ve been less bitter and more enjoyable if the they used warm water- not boiling hot water hahah. Aside from that, it’s a lovely spot to hang out!"
