Five years on from opening their first London tea shop, the French Japanese brand Café Kitsuné is heading into central London. Up until now if you wanted to try their cute fox-shaped biscuits and matcha lattes you'd have had to head to Belgravia where they have a branch behind the Pantechnicon building. But this Spring they'll be opening in the heart of Covent Garden, on Monmouth Street.
