The Ethiopian ice coffee was incredible. The gentleman in side was insightful and enthusiastic! Definitely stop for a treat!

Friendly baristas. Good coffee and pastries. A modern and minimalist vibe. Kiss the Hippo is a lovely cafe to visit in Richmond. Very centrally located too.

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!

Overall: ★★★★☆ A solid four stars for this spotlessly clean coffee shop in Richmond. The coffee was good. Above average.,Service was also good. You’ll find Kiss the Hippo directly opposite Waitrose a moment from its previous location on George Street. Food: Coffee shop with usual pastries on a glass shelf What I liked: • They sell Pump Street chocolate. Premium! • Good, friendly service • Spotlessly clean • Very slick set up • Nice simple menu • Lovely, simple layout • Nice range of merch • Very good coffee (the main event!) What I didn’t like: • Quite high price point • Could be considered too sterile for some • The correlation between a hippo and coffee Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? NO Price Point: $$
