Kiss the Hippo Coffee Soho

As a coffee enthusiast, I was blown away by Kiss the Hippo. The single origin flat white was outstanding. Fruity, well balanced, and topped with beautiful latte art that showed real care and skill. Every sip felt vibrant and complex without being overwhelming. We also tried the cinnamon bun, which was fantastic: wonderfully fluffy and light, never dry. Personally, I would have liked just a touch more sweetness, but that’s purely a personal preference. The interior is gorgeous, with a clean, modern design that feels both stylish and welcoming. A must-visit for anyone serious about great coffee.

Beautifully minimalist café with a calm, uncluttered atmosphere, perfect for working, reading, or simply unwinding. The coffee is excellent, with carefully crafted blends that are both rich and smooth. The staff are genuinely kind, welcoming, and always accommodating, which makes the whole experience even warmer. Quiet, relaxing, and effortlessly stylish (a little hidden gem for anyone who loves great coffee in a peaceful setting.)

Lovely cafe with great filter coffee and espresso. Wonderfully friendly staff as always. Beautiful atmosphere and seating.

Terrible service, coffee nice pity served in paper cups when served inside. Bad for taste and bad for enviroment. Few cakes dry Atmosphere cold, but good for having a chat.

Nice coffee grains and aesthetic but that’s about it. You can’t charge 5£ for a matcha latte without having bathrooms, internet or serving to the table. They sell good coffee equipment. Staff is not particularly friendly or welcoming as other posts suggests. The raspberry matcha doesn’t look or taste like it has raspberry and they only have plastic straws.

A true specialty coffee shop. They have specialty coffee beyond the basic. Fruity natural coffee which is hard to find on the mill. Absolutely a recommendation for barista lovers and those that want to taste a superior coffee.

A lovely, understated coffee spot serving an excellent Americano. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, with a quiet ambiance that’s perfect for slowing down in the middle of Soho. We visited late on a Saturday morning & seating was available, but we enjoyed standing at the bar, watching our coffee being made. Our barista, Urte, was fantastic, warm, friendly, and happy to share recommendations while explaining more about the café. A genuinely kind soul who made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back whenever we’re in the area. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.

The coffee was really amazing! The pastries were just okay, but the service was great. Prices are a little on the higher side.
