This is a super fun spot as a parent to explore with your toddlers and younger kids. I wish I had come a little bit sooner to have more years to explore this place with my kiddos. As somebody who needs to eat gluten-free, there wasn’t any options for me, but I’m kind of used to that so I don’t hold it against them. The play area was very clean and simple not overwhelming with toys. Just a lot of space for kids to use. Their imagination. Would be wonderful if there is something like this in Novato.

First time visiting this place. It's super cute, and the ambiance feels very chic. Small place, but the seating is very strategically put in place. The staff is very nice and quick service. The food was delicious and fresh as much as the drinks. Family-friendly environment. They have a very nice playground for the little ones for small price. I didn't have any kids with me, but it seemed fun for some little ones that were playing at that time. $$ Very clean Parking outside (parking meters) a little bit hard to find space.

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.

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. 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.

Love the almond croissant here. Ask to warm up a bit. It is really crispy and tasty :) They also did it right with my cappuccino

It is such an absolutely adorable coffee shop with lots of natural light and two hammock chairs. Staff was friendly. I ordered americano with oat milk. They serve coffee from Sacramento called "Temple Coffee Rosters," and it was delicious. They also have some pastries that I didn't try. I will most definitely be back. CC accepted You can also earn points for free coffee in the future. And yes, they have a closed, fairly good pay playground for the kiddos.

Super in love with this place! Fox & Kit is every parent’s dream - a fun, imaginative indoor playground with a side of coffee shops so the parents can get some work done. The playground is cute, clean, and spacious. The coffee shop is also bright, clean, and has yummy food to choose from. There’s a 2-hour limit when playing in the playground. Also, there’s a parking structure right across the coffee shop.

I love it. When I am in SR I always get my coffee here. Coffee and cappuccinos are very good. The store is very nice, clean and modern. Open space and a fantastic kids play room.
