I went to collect a to good to go bag and I fed up getting a cappuccino, I got their George street blend it was delicious!! The staff was so friendly and added to the experience. Tried their banana bread, mozzarella focaccia and the aubergine focaccia. Their sweet bakes were definitely worth trying but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the savoury. A solid 8.5/10

It was a nice cafe and we enjoyed the matcha lattes. There were just a few times that the noise really escalated to the point we couldn't hear each other.. but most of the time it was average cafe noise.

Kiss the Hippo is one of my favourite coffee shops in London, they have other locations but this is the one I go to the most! They're known for their amazing coffee but I don't really drink coffee so I usually get their Iced Chai Latte with Oat milk! It hits the spot everytime and the cup is so cute. I also got their banana bread, there's a nice bite to it as there's walnut chunks which is amazing. The interior is also super nice, everything is smooth and wooden with a minimalist style. Would recommend!

Absolutely love this spot. Kiss the Hippo Fitzrovia is a haven for coffee lovers — every cup is brewed with care and precision. The vibe is calm and stylish, perfect for a quiet break or catching up with a friend. Their flat white is consistently excellent, and the pastries are fresh and flavorful (highly recommend the croissant!). Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to chat about the beans. Prices are on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality. One of my favorite specialty coffee spots in London.
