Clap Kafe, an AlphaMind Concept, Opens in Knightsbridge, London

The team behind the acclaimed contemporary Japanese restaurant CLAP London is introducing an exciting new concept: CLAP KA-FE, a design-led café with minimalist Japanese-inspired elegance.

Rooted in the philosophy that nature’s beauty lies in its imperfections, CLAP KA-FE embraces simplicity and organic elegance — reflected in the interiors, experiences, and menus, capturing Japan’s calm in every cup.

Opening on 31 March 2025, CLAP KA-FE offers a perfect eat-in space, a refined grab-and-go experience as well as London delivery via Slerp and Deliveroo. Guests will be able to enjoy expertly brewed artisanal coffees, premium matcha, delicate sencha, and a thoughtfully curated selection of Japanese pastries, sandos, sushi sets, and nourishing salads.

CLAP KA-FE, located in the heart of Knightsbridge is designed as a place for guests to pause, recharge, and find a moment of calm amidst the city’s energy. Rooted in sustainability and mindful living, the café proudly partners with DIRTEA to serve award-winning super blends infused with functional mushrooms, offering natural energy, focus, and relaxation.

Max della Torre e Tasso, Director of Business Development Europe for AlphaMind, says: “We are beyond excited to introduce CLAP KA-FE to London and the world. From the very beginning, our vision was to create more than just a café—we wanted to craft a serene space for guests to slow down and enjoy high-quality, Japanese-inspired food and drinks. Whether it’s a perfectly whisked matcha, a handcrafted sando, or a nourishing sushi set, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to bring a sense of balance, indulgence, and wellness to London.”
