Their signature coffee with cream has a lovely French note, blended beautifully with chocolate and coffee. The ambience is absolutely delightful--greenery, a charming hanging swing, and a very relaxed vibe. A lovely bonus is the kids' play area; watching their happy smiles makes the experience even better.
I found this place on TikTok was in the area and decided to give it a try. This place is pretty cool it's nice and open. As soon as you walk in the counter is there. There's a lot of seating and theres an indoor playground. The ice coffee was good it definitely did its job and kept me up all day. We overall had had a good experience.
FANTASTIC place! This little gem of a place is not just for moms and children (because of the play area) it's a very nice and sophisticated little beautiful coffee shop. We stopped in for coffee and I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and kind the staff were. They made little jokes and had me in a great mood! They helped me when I needed help deciding and they made a delicious latte for me! 10/10 I will Be back. Thank you fox and Kit ! And thank you to your staff for being so great also!
I came here with my friend for the first time after hearing really good things about it from my boyfriend. The place itself is super fun, vibrant, and honestly such a cute spot--especially with the playground inside! I love that they offer yummy yogurt options and great non-caffeinated drinks, which is perfect if you're trying to avoid caffeine. However... whoever is in charge of washing dishes needs to step it up. The spoon I was given for my yogurt had stuff on it, and the cup I got--even with a lid--had visible gunk on it (as seen in the photo). I get grossed out pretty easily when it comes to shared utensils, and you really expect a restaurant's dishes to be cleaned to the highest standard because of germs and general hygiene. The interior and vibe are great, but the dishwashing situation is honestly a big deal and took away from the experience. If they can tighten that up, this place would be an easy favorite.
This concept I believe is popular in Japan so I was excited to see this spring up. Parking: street parking , and there's a public garage across the street. Normally 75 cents per hour and free on Sunday's. Coffee: got an iced latte and it was very strong, just like how I like it. It wasn't dilated by the ice or milk at all and I liked how it's served with a reusable metal straw. If you go into the play area you can get your drinks in reusable metal tumblers. Atmosphere: Beautifully designed space , extremely baby friendly. There's an enclosed section in the back where you can put your little ones down without them escaping. Bathrooms all have changing tables and a little toilet seat they can accommodate kids. Play area: $13 for kids 9 months-2 years, I think there's no time limit. It's a really well thought out design, much larger than I thought! There's costumes for kids to wear, books to read, a family friendly restroom in the back, and a two story wooden play structure. There's a hill that you can crawl under reminding me a hobbit hole and you can slide on the top. Overall I need something similar in San Mateo county because I loved this and need something similar closer to me. Please open one here!!
Wow...I'm amazed at how things have changed since the last time I visited. I'm shocked at the price they charged for a stamp for the kid to play in the playground, $16/kid! I thought they get a stamp if we bought something but I was so wrong! I don't know if it's age related but I had 2 kids with me so it really hurt to pay such a price for a tiny and basic play area. We came at around 10 and it was way too crowded this time than last. Full of kids running around and people working/studying at tables. I came here mostly to let my kid play while we have a coffee. The coffee and pastries were still good but I guess I can go anywhere else. I probably won't come back.
Coffee was amazing, ambiance was so cute and trendy, and service was great. If you're looking for an extremely quiet place to work I would not recommend as there is a playground attached. I jut stopped in to answer a few emails and hop on a quick call so it was perfect for me. Overall great place to stop for solid coffee and good vibes.
Downtown San Rafael has a healthy dose of coffee haus'. But some stand out more than others for various reasons. Fox & Kit stands out to me for its outstanding coffee and design concept. Besides the beautiful, modern, calming Scandinavian-ish decor, they even have a glass window play area for the kiddos. You can keep an eye on your angels while enjoying some coffee, food, and company. Or join them in the room. The coffee is fantastic. I found out later they serve Temple coffee. That is one of my favorite all time coffee roasters. Darn good quality coffee. Plus they serve Strauss milk. Great local California partnerships. Parking is street metered. But don't fret if parallel parking is not your thing, there is a pay to park city lot across the street ($1 per hour). Street parking is free in Sundays. The lot across the street is free in the weekend.
What I ordered -Iced Vanilla Latte [4/5] _ I recently stopped by Fox & Kit while I was in the area and grabbed a vanilla latte--it was absolutely delicious! The café's ambiance is stunning, with a unique touch--a playground in the back for children, which I thought was really cool. The service was excellent, and the staff were all incredibly friendly. I highly recommend checking it out!
Cute coffee shop with a playground inside! Love the store concept with the open, airy vibes, ample seating, and a playground inside for both kids and adults. The staff are so friendly, and the drinks were pretty good too! I got the matcha latte and I thought it had a smooth texture and good flavor; it's not the best or most rich matcha drink I've had, but it's good. I also ordered the kouign amann pastry and it had the perfect flaky and soft texture. Love this place and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the San Rafael area!
I had heard about this coffee shop and I had it saved in my bookmarks for forever, but thankfully, we finally found a time to go! We came here with my mother-in-law , and our 5 year old son and our baby. The front of the coffee shop is very stylish and has great ambiance! There's even a play pit for crawling babies. I wanted to put our little crawler in there, but it wasn't very clean. There were a lot of little bits of this and that in there, and our daughter puts everything in her mouth, so I didn't feel good about putting her in there which is a shame. It really needed a good vacuum and a wipe-down. It would have been awesome! I could have relaxed with my coffee and sat on the bench that circles the baby play area, but no, I had to hold my wiggly baby the entire time. I loved the swinging chairs too, and my baby loved the long bench by the window where we sat. When we entered, I wanted to get my son checked in for the indoor playground they have in the back, but no one was available to check him in. Since we were new there, I didn't know how it worked. They closed at noon (for a private party), and it was already 10:30 am, so I wanted to make sure he had ample time to play. Your play session is for up to 2 hours. Anyway, he could have easily slid in there without paying since no one greeted us when we entered the shop. We didn't do that of course. I just looked around for someone to help. Finally, someone emerged from the back so I could ask for help. You pay for the play session at the coffee shop counter. So I had to wait in line to pay for his session. Don't be like us. Come earlier so you have time to wait to be checked in and don't lose play time. The play session is $16 which I think is steep since it's not that big. I mean, it's big enough, but my kiddo was ready to go after an hour for sure. It's pretty cool looking! I think it's probably best for a kiddo 3.5 years old where they are big enough to climb up the sloped grassy hill, but not so big that they're going to get bored quickly. My kiddo had fun, but I think it would be better priced at like $12. My kiddo wanted me to explore with him and I was surprised at the hidden dioramas at the top. Plus inside the hill is a dimly lit chill play area. It was a vibe. There's also some cool nooks along the wall with a book shelf! There was a dress up costume area too which was cool, but I really wish they didn't have hats/headwear in there! That's just a breeding ground for lice and I have to remind my son not to ever try on public hats! :) They should just not have headwear and it would be so much better. We also had some drinks. I had an Oat Milk Latte since I have to be dairy free right now. It was good, but not particularly remarkable. My mother-in-law had a hot chocolate, and my husband had this really fabulous drink called an Einsplanner! It sounded amazing and looked amazing, but alas I couldn't try it this time. Anyway, I LOVE the concept of this coffee shop and I wish something like this was closer to us! This is about an 45 min away from us. We went here before taking my mother-in-law to the airport (I mean, it wasn't on the way to the airport, but at least it was west). This is such a good concept and so needed! I would love a place to enjoy a beverage while kiddos can play. They should offer beer and wine for happy for sessions! The play area was also entirely behind glass, so the coffee shop area was quiet! That was a real treat! This place is so well done! I loved it.

I was so looking forward to visiting this place as the photos looked awesome. In reality, it was way too kid friendly for me (which would be a huge plus for lots of people but was more of a con for me) so just the heads up...They have a nice play area for kids, which is super cool and I can totally see how they can be super popular. However, it wasn't the ambiance I was looking for. Their coffee is great, and the food selection looked pretty good. Decor is super nice! Street parking plus there is a garage parking right across this coffee shop. read more

Fox & Kit off the bat won me over for their kid friendly environment. It's not often that a parent can kill 3+ hours at a coffee shop with their Kid. The play area for kids is amazing and my toddler is always happy to go and hangout and play here. I often will enjoy a coffee and watch my little guy explore and shriek with joy while I sip on my beverage. If you're looking to meet other parents and make friends this place is definitely an environment that can foster that as well. Because the play area is enclosed you can choose to be on the outside in a slightly more quiet setting while watching your child through the glass. It really just depends on how old your kid is and what experience you're looking for. The people who work there have always been pleasant and polite. I would highly recommend Fox & Kit. My son is fond of it as am I! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a place to relax amid the chaos! read more
Disappointed with the service as of recently. Went in yesterday and normally they bring your drink to you if you order in. This time I saw 3 people behind the counter in a near empty place chatting with themselves waiting for me to get my drink. I didn't hear them call it so it just sat there until I looked behind me noticing it was ready! For an $8 drink... I was a loyal customer and feel I won't be going back for some time after that. read more

The ambiance of this coffee shop is magnificent. I came in to check out their play area and have a cup of matcha latte to go. I didn't stay in the play area but it looks pretty decent. Will be coming back to try. The matcha latte was delicious. Service was fairly quick too. read more

Was planning to meet a girlfriend while she was briefly in San Rafael so I suggested Fox & Kit. Lovely place to get a hot beverage and to sit & chat. Wonderful staff and my caramel latte with almond milk was delicious. I was sad though to see that there weren't much pastries for us to have. The only thing left was a scone which looked a little dry. Nonetheless our afternoon was special while we sipped on our beverages catching up. read more
A super cute place and I love the vibes here! The owner is super cool and was very nice. Came in at around 8am on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. A very instagramable and aesthetic place with so many cute photo opportunities. I got the chai latte with soy milk and it was great! They also have a super cool playground for kids that I wish I could've gone in because it was that cool! They have indoor and outdoor dining. It's a cool spot that I will definitely be back to and possibly study at too since it's a nice quiet aesthetic place. read more

We did our kids 1st birthday here yesterday and the staff did a wonderful job. They helped unload our car upon arrival, packed all the leftovers when it was time to leave - they brought the crowd together for our sons happy birthday sing along, they reloaded the party trays when needed - I think this the premier place for children's birthdays in all of the Bay Area. read more
Super cute spot to take your kids. They have an impressive indoor play place that my kids (age 9,8 and 4) enjoy. It's $15 every hour for play and there are discounts for siblings. Their drinks are pretty good - I've gotten their chai latte before and it was tasty. Today, I just got a plain iced green tea and added honey. They give you tumblers to use inside the play place so it doesn't spill. I'll definitely be back again. read more

It is a relaxing place to have coffee and have the kids play. The playing structure has fun for toddlers and up. The crawl space and hill will have the kids exhausted from running up. It's a never-ending playground space. Would definitely be back. They also serve delicious coffee, and the service is spectacular. Space can be rented out for events. They have street parking and parking building across the street. Great customer! read more

This was an awesome place to come and do some work. Not busy at all when I came so that was nice. Noise was insulated from the play area well enough to not be a distraction. I chose to come here after searching on yelp for a coffee shop to stay busy while having my car serviced around the corner. The coffee they serve is from an independent roaster which is always nice. I had my cappuccino made with almond milk which masked the flavor of the coffee too much, so I asked to have it remade which was no problem. And the fresh baked pastries are always a must have in coffee houses. Come on. The decor was the blissful and extremely comfy to stay focused and power through a bit of work. read more

This place is a whole VIBE! Like I literally stepped into a whole vibe today. It reminded me of a TikTok reel. I Cannot attest to the quality of coffee, tea or food that they offer but I can say that if you are looking for a special environment to put you in a zen state, this is it. I was simply picking up an Uber eats order and I did not want to leave. From the swinging chairs in the window to the couch to the plants to the play area for kids it was just peace and tranquillity everywhere you look. It reminded me of being at home where I really wanted to be lol I will definitely be back to try out the tea and to thoroughly enjoy the safe space. To the owners, THANK YOU! read more

This is the most aesthetic & fun little café! Love the decor and indoor play area. It's like an elevated, montessori-inspired version of a fast food chain play place. It was clean, there was an employee in there monitoring, and so many fun things to do for the kids. The reading nook and costume closet are unique and fun. There is a "hill" that can double as a slide and climber, and underneath it is a cave. The tree house has some fun climbers too. It cost $15 for 2 hours max of play time. I only ordered a matcha latté and kids hot chocolate for my son. Since we were in the play area, they brought them to us in stainless steel tumblers which was nice. However my latté tasted like regular green tea with a little milk rather than matcha and was so hot I burned my tongue at first sip. I'd recommend asking for a lower temp or skipping the tumblers to let the heat escape. There are multiple bathrooms, in the main café area as well as one inside of the play area. There's a parking garage right across the street that you have to pay for, as well as a few metered street parking spaces in front of the building. We enjoyed our time here and look forward to going back. It's a great place to let the kids play and get some work done. read more

Adorable decor. Super cute playground area. Please open one in Petaluma! Only downfall: airflow in the playroom is lacking and it was hot and it could be bigger to accommodate alllll of the moms and kiddos that want to hang out at the establishment. read more

Would you recommend this place if you're just looking to sit in a nice coffee shop and don't have kids?
Yes - absolutely. It's beautiful, friendly and while there may be kids in the play area it's a separate closed off room so it doesn't feel invasive if that's not your vibe.
