Artisan café group Colicci is collaborating with The Royal Parks and Theo Randall to launch two cafés and nine sculptural kiosks.

The first café to launch will be the Storey's Gate Café, the menu of which is being created by Theo Randall. It will launch In St James' Park In spring 2019, serving a health-driven menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes.

The morning menu will include coconut bircher museli; an acai bowl with seasonal berries, coconut shavings, cacao nibs, goji berries, chia seeds and pecans; and cakes.

At lunch the menu will serve the likes of soft chilli cheese on toast; roast butternut squash with red onion, tahini and za'atar; and a daily changing soup.

The Serpentine café will launch in spring 2019, serving a simple menu of artisanal baked products from the Colicci group, and gelato from local partner Gelupo.

The first of the kiosks will be installed this autumn, and the last kiosk to open will launch In March 2019, and each will serve a menu exclusive to Its site, offering the likes of gelato; croissants with fillings Includeing rocket, mozzarella and chilli jam; toasties; ciabattas; salads; and gourmet hot dogs.

All eleven projects are beig designed by Mizzi Studio, and will be made from sustainable materials Including oak cladding.

 “We’re absolutely delighted to have extended our long-standing partnership with The Royal Parks. Food and drink are an important part of everyone’s day, and we believe in pairing great tasting fresh food with a truly memorable experience," says Colicci director, Rob Colicci.  

"By pioneering a ‘collection’ of revolutionary kiosks and cafés we have pushed the boundaries in design and architecture. Now you can buy your cup of coffee from a sculpture in the park.”

Colicci started life In 1982 as a single ice cream van, and now operates over 30 sites across London's parks. It owns Its own bakery, and supplies a collection of London venues.

Last year, It won the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards for the copper roof at Its Stratford kiosk.
