Specialty coffee roastery with iced filter and pour over options




"In Richmond, Kiss the Hippo is cited as one of the cafés proving that London is now among the great places for excellent coffee." - Adam Coghlan

"Kiss the Hippo’s Richmond café serves as both neighbourhood standby and destination coffee shop, having moved from George Street to Sheen Road. Still pouring iced filter ahead of cold brew — thank you — the attentive service and luscious drinks make it stand out from the crowd." - James Hansen

"It’s depressingly rare to find iced filter coffee in London, and this outstanding Richmond cafe is one of its best exponents. In this method, coffee is brewed hot, with a proportion of the water used to brew it swapped out for ice. The result is a sweet, fruity, very concentrated cup of hot coffee, which is both diluted down to its correct strength and chilled when it mixes with the ice in the serving jug. Ask the barista what’s on, and enjoy the cold." - James Hansen
