An adorable black fox paid a visit to a Dublin cafe and delighted a few customers.

It was a brilliant moment as there are only a handful of black foxes left in Ireland.

The friendly fox popped by One Kinda Folk in Ranelagh to see what was happening.

The cafe is in the courtyard of Yoga Dublin and run by Rathgar local Rachel Elliman.

She told Extra.ie about the beautiful moment, admitting all who saw the fox were ‘speechless’.

Rachel recalled: ‘I was chatting to a customer when we both spotted a flash of black and silver running past us.

‘We looked out and we were speechless! A big beautiful black and silver fox was standing in front of us.

‘He was really friendly and came right up to us. He had a sniff around our courtyard and allowed us to take photos.’

One Kinda Folk opened in Ranelagh earlier this year and has become a popular hub for the locals.

The coffee hatch is set behind a beautiful ivy wall, creating a tranquil space in the busy city.

It’s not just in Ireland that foxes are making friends, in August a red fox cuddled up to a man in a London pub.

Animal lover Gary Sines was thrilled when a fox sat beside him, resting it’s head on his lap.
