The popular French-Japanese brand has landed in the Kingdom…
Riyadh has some pretty incredible cafes in spades; you can find dozens of them in every nook and cranny around the city. Local and international spots have set up shop all around town, the latest edition? Cafe Kitsuné Riyadh in Laysen Valley.
Backed by lifestyle brand Maison Kitsuné, Cafe Kitsune’s Riyadh version has both indoor and outdoor areas, an open coffee bar, a dessert display, and monogrammed everything, including tables and plates.

If you’re after a quiet coffee bar where you can relax and soak up the relaxing and cosy vibes, this venue is where it’s at. The venue combines a casual atmosphere with modern decor under one roof.
Best known for its full-bodied coffee brew, with notes of chocolate and grilled hazelnuts and a smooth and syrupy texture, it’s safe to say this place will be a haven for all coffee lovers in the capital.
You can sip on menu items like espresso, macchiato, americano, dirty chai, cappuccino, cortado, flat white, and mochaccino, along with teas, pastries, juices, and ice cream. Our favourite has to be the brownie. Picture the most decadent, fudgy, and just all-around delicious dessert.
The very first Cafe Kitsuné opened its doors back in 2013 in Tokyo, and since then, the cafe has opened 26 locations worldwide, including in Paris, New York City, London, Vancouver, and Shanghai.
The name Kitsuné comes from the Japanese word kitsune, meaning “fox.” In Japan, the fox is said to have the ability to change its appearance and face to reflect the situation, which is what Cafe Kitsuné aims to achieve in all its locations around the world, moulding itself to fit each gathering to a tea (or rather coffee).
