Kiss the Hippo Coffee

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Shop in Richmond Heads for Fitzrovia | Eater London

"An independent roastery and coffee shop that launched in June 2018 and is expanding with a second London café on Margaret Street in Fitzrovia (opening late September 2019). Founded by entrepreneur Can Eren and based in Richmond, its flagship store and roastery has quickly attracted top industry talent — including Joshua Tarlo (a U.K. barista championship winner who joined as head of coffee), Paul Ross (a U.K. Barista champion) and Roosa Jalonen (Finnish Cup Tasters’ champion) — giving it a reputation for high-speciality coffee and competitive-level expertise." - James Hansen
