We’ve always known that for some mysterious reason hipsters love to drink coffee. They’re not just sipping the average Nespresso coffee in front of their computer screen like the average middle manager at the office, but are making coffee drinking a real hipster art form (so much so that, along with iPod DJ or art gallery intern, barrista has become one of the top hipster careers).

There are some musts for the wannabe hipster café: use beans from an indie brand (the top brand in Paris is Coutume), have an caricatural minimalist hipster logo (with a cross or a banner), call waiters not waiters but baristas, find a concept for the food (breakfast food, vegan food…), and display some international press.

The guys of Paris/Tokyo music/fashion label Kitsune are opening what could be the #1 hipster hangout in Paris. Their coffee is from indie producers in London, their logo is hipster-proof, they are calling their waiters baristas, they sell gluten free pastries by Noglu, and they sell Kitsune compilations and goodies (much cooler than Australian Vogue).

The place opens this fashion week beginning January 17th, so if you’re a coffee drinking hipster, or even someone who loves to hate hipsters, you know where to have a double latte made by the best baristas in town!
