Best coffee in Richmond!
Have tried all of the proper coffee shops, this one has consistently served the best coffee. Chatting to the barista, they actually knew about the coffee washing process, roast styles and origins. They obviously had a passion for coffee themselves and you can taste this in the well calibrated and utilised machines they use! Highly recommended.

Tasty, Darker roasts with the option to change from the house blend to single origin gives the Hippo a touch of sophistication amongst other cafes. Strong traditional flat whites.

It's nice having a place that makes pour overs on demand. Not a great range of coffee to choose from however. The inside is clean and modern but a bit austere.

A wonderful coffee shop in Richmond. Delightful blends of coffee and choices of cakes to go with it! Love the vibe of this cafe and enjoy the outdoor seating on nice days.

Specialty coffee extracted beautifully across a variety of drinks. I had a Brazilian single origin cortado and sampled lattes with both dairy and oat. All were brilliant but the way that blend went with the textured milk was divine. They had a great selection of home brewing equipment on sale too should you be a hobbyist. Wonderful!

Top notch coffee, quite reasonable considering where it is. Liked the coffee roasting going on while I was there. 'nuff said!
This Shop has moved a short distance since I reviewed it in November 2019.

I came to Kiss the Hippo because if Jamie Tartt likes it then it must be good!!
It's a really lovely coffee shop with friendly staff, great coffee, and adorable merchandise. Sitting outside on a nice day is a great way to enjoy a bit of Richmond.

In addition to the delicious coffee, Kiss the Hippo also offers an impressive selection of baked goods, including pastries, cakes, and cookies. I recommend trying the croissants and other treats, which are baked fresh daily

Proper specialty coffee. We tried their single origin filter and the flavours were beautiful.
Can’t wait for our next visit.
