    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.

    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.

    Really good coffee! Plus, I loved the vibes. The swings and decor were thoughtful. Kids playground was a plus! Service was friendly

    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.

    Latte and oatmeal

    Morning latte and oatmeal...breakfast of champions before wine tasting . Great place to start the day.

    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.

    Matcha latte

    the clumpiest matcha latte in existence I could tell the matcha powder was good quality so it was a shame I choked on matcha clumps

    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!

    Vania B.

    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!

    Would you recommend this place if you're just looking to sit in a nice coffee shop and don't have kids?

There's street parking, but we parked across the street in the lot by the music shop (it's closed on weekends, which makes it even easier). Zero stress before carbs -- we love to see it. It has that super local, neighborhood energy where everyone clearly knows exactly what they're ordering before they even walk in. Always a good sign. The bread basket? Unreal. The soup was divine -- comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a cozy day. And the bread somehow manages to feel indulgent and wholesome at the same time. Warm, hearty, and clearly made with care. The space itself is just as inviting -- warm, relaxed, and effortlessly charming. And the pastries... they looked dangerous in the best way. I didn't even get one this time, which honestly just means I'm definitely coming back for round two. Already planning my next visit.

My "Soft Scramble" was a pile of astonishment. It was so unrefined that it was an insult the the ingredients. There was nothing soft about the eggs, they were overcooked. The only thing soft on the plate was the watery run-off from the vegetables they heaped into the eggs: Too many chewy mushrooms and HUGE. Too many cherry tomatoes. I had to dig to find the eggs. The leeks were strips of inedible ribbon. The toast? I think it had been toasted yesterday and left on the top of their oven overnight and then reused today. I had to get up from the table and ask for butter to make it edible and still I worried whether I was going to break a crown. The pickled vegetables? Again, HUGE, hard and barely pickled. I will refrain from criticizing the service because they are all unaware of the nightmare in which they are working. Bless their hearts. I was so sad and annoyed. People think they can buy a restaurant with recipes and wholesale accounts and staff and just run it, "business as usual" but they are wrong. I went in and asked if they had sold the restaurant and was told, "yes." I imagine some tech-bro's wife or some hedgefund community doodler wanted a pet project with zero idea about food or food quality or how to treat and retain employees because what happened to MHBB is astonishing. It's rude and insulting to anyone who opened this restaurant and put in their best to keep the name and claim to be catering to the same people. But then again, this is par for the course or, from my vantage point, everything wrong with what's happened in Marin in a nutshell. Faux authenticity. Zero care. This is now all about the money. I will never bother with it again.

The shop is segemented into 3 connected sections; the main room where orders are taken, crafted, and served along with bags of coffee beans. The connected room had shirts, sweatshirts, and a fridge with grab n go items. The back room, had a few vintage pinball machines along with some tables and chairs. That'd be such a fun place to hang out at! Ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and ice maple latte, also with almond milk. Both were wonderfully crafted and provided the morning jolt needed.

The SO is totally in love with the roast turkey and stuffing hash. Given the opportunity, I think he'd eat it every day. (He did have it both days this past weekend.) I was a bit disappointed in the buttermilk-cornmeal griddle cake that came with my Farmers Breakfast. The taste was fine but it was tough. Chewy is just not an adjective I ever want to apply to a pancake. However, they more than redeemed themselves with the BAT Scramble. I'll need to try a few more items on the menu, but that could easily be my "go to" breakfast. Portions were generous. I took my scone home since the scramble and potatoes were more than enough. The SO had great things to say about their chai. The space is bright and airy, and tables are not so close together as to feel like you're part of your neighbor's conversations.
