Café Kitsuné's new hotspot landing at LaLaport Nangang !

The internationally renowned coffee and lifestyle brand Café Kitsuné, known for blending Parisian elegance with Tokyo's minimalist aesthetic, has gained worldwide popularity. Its brand symbol, the little fox, has become adored for its cute and versatile image. On March 20th this year, Café Kitsuné opened its second store in Taipei at Mitsui LaLaport Nangang, and introduced an exclusive Japanese-French brunch menu, offering a brand-new culinary experience to the Taiwan market.

Café Kitsuné, founded by Maison Kitsuné, has attracted countless enthusiasts worldwide with its premium coffee, stylish spaces, and unique lifestyle vibe. Since its inception in 2013, the brand has expanded to major international cities such as Paris, Tokyo, New York, Seoul, and Bangkok. Each location creates an atmosphere that reflects the brand's delicate yet warm image.

In 2023, Café Kitsuné opened its first hybrid store with Maison Kitsuné in Taipei's Xinyi District at Bellavita, bringing its signature Japanese-French lifestyle aesthetics and premium coffee experience to the fashion capital. After a year of successful operation, the brand has taken the next step, moving to Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Nangang. For the first time, it has introduced an exclusive Japanese-French brunch menu, offering a fresh and exciting culinary experience to the Taiwan market.

Innovative Architectural Craftsmanship: The Design Aesthetics of Café Kitsuné Nangang Store

Nangang has long been a central hub in Taipei, with its constant flow of people creating a unique energy and a more modern vibe. The design inspiration for the Café Kitsuné LaLaport Nangang store draws from the contemporary metropolitan feel of Nangang. The store's exterior features a sleek, curved glass façade, shaping a modern visual symbol, while the sculptural bar counter introduces fluid and playful elements. Inside, the open layout creates a space filled with layers of light and shadow, enhanced by three independent ceramic columns, wooden niches, and floating furniture. These elements add depth to the open space, showcasing a perfect fusion of refined craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. One of the most striking features of the store is the custom wooden carved mural at the back, which ties the entire space together into an immersive artistic experience, embodying the unique elegance of Café Kitsuné's style.

Co-branded Matcha Tea Set & Taipei City Collection: Fashion Aesthetics through Coffee Culture

To celebrate the soft opening of Café Kitsuné LaLaport Nangang, the brand has specially launched the "Taipei City Series," featuring a Barista Fox in a baseball-style outfit as the design highlight. This design embodies the passion and charm of Taipei's baseball culture, creating a perfect synergy between fashion, coffee art, and urban aesthetics. It showcases the brand's trendsetting style, merging local cultural elements with its chic, global identity.

In addition, Café Kitsuné has launched the Café Kitsuné x PRINTWORKS Matcha Set (NTD $2,900, excluding matcha powder). The modern packaging resembles a vintage book, and inside is a matcha tea set filled with a sense of ritual. This set not only pays homage to global matcha culture but also reminds us of the Japanese DNA at the core of the brand. Since introducing the matcha trend in Paris in 2014, Café Kitsuné has continued to focus on creating the ultimate tea and coffee experience. This collaboration allows matcha enthusiasts to recreate the Café Kitsuné matcha preparation ritual at home, seamlessly combining traditional tea ceremony elements with modern craftsmanship.

Café Kitsuné LaLaport Nangang store is set to redefine Taipei's coffee culture with its brand-new Japanese-French brunch menu, unique architectural aesthetics, and exclusive collaborative products!
