"Inside The Pantechnicon—a grand building in Belgravia, with columns and a cream paint job—is a lovely ground floor cafe with exposed brick and foliage. The drinks menu includes that timeless post-walk thirst-quencher—the iced coffee. Choose from things like kinako iced almond latte, blossom iced matcha latte, and a floral rose syrup that tastes like spring. Our favourite is the almond latte, and you should also know that they have a few chunky sandos you’ll probably want to get involved in." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"This interesting coffee bar channels Paris and Tokyo, and thinks its a fancy clothing store — and if you look in the back room, it is. The madeleines and fox cookies are to die for, and all sorts of twee little pastries are provided, along with some of the strongest coffee in town. It turns into a wine bar in the early evening." - Robert Sietsema


"Mentioned as a pleasant surprise for being genuinely good, this small cafe was credited with offering enjoyable coffee and patisserie experiences that felt notable in a year when standout pastry offerings were especially appreciated." - Adam Coghlan

"I observed that Café Kitsuné is offering specials that support the Breaking Bread Fundraiser, an effort to raise money to feed communities facing oppression, inequality, and food insecurity this winter." - Luke Fortney

"With a picturesque breakfast and correct coffee drinks, this gorgeous café is our antidote to too much cool." - ByChristine Muhlke
