Kuro Coffee opens fourth location at Harvey Nichols
There’s a new reason to linger a little longer in Knightsbridge this festive season: Kuro Coffee has officially opened its fourth location within 125, the beautifully reimagined ground-floor destination at Harvey Nichols. As the exclusive food and beverage offering, Kuro brings its refined, minimalist craft to one of London’s most luxurious settings, the perfect pause point for shoppers seeking something exceptional between gift-hunting stops.

The Knightsbridge location introduces a bold new design direction for the brand, distinguished by deep red walls, clean lines and a sleek, modern counter, a contrast to the lighter, rustic aesthetic of Kuro’s Notting Hill spaces. Guests can enjoy the brand’s signature speciality coffee blends, premium Single Origin options, fragrant teas and silky matcha, alongside a thoughtfully curated selection of freshly baked goods. From delicate cakes and buttery pastries to Kuro’s beloved cream-filled sakuras, it’s the ideal moment to treat yourself while exploring London’s most iconic department store.

Celebrated for its Japanese-inspired aesthetic, attention to detail and uncompromising quality, Kuro has become a much-loved fixture in West London’s food and drink landscape. The Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge opening marks an exciting new chapter for the brand. “This opening represents a natural progression for us,” says Managing Director Jacob Van Nieuwkoop. “It allows us to maintain the craft and simplicity people know us for, while stepping into a space that celebrates design, lifestyle and innovation.”
