KISS THE HIPPO

Kiss the Hippo is a cozy little haven where you can sip on a cappuccino while dodging the rain. The baristas, like Harry and Mia, are not just friendly; they're practically your coffee therapy team. The espresso here is balanced to perfection, and the pastries are the kind of delicious that make you question your life choices if you don’t order two. But don’t expect a comfy chair—this spot is more about the takeout hustle than a long brunch sit-down.

Most of the vibes are positive, but if you’re looking for a sprawling café, you might need to keep your expectations in check. It's a solid spot for a quick caffeine fix, but if you want to settle in for a long chat, be prepared to stand awkwardly with your drink in hand. Overall, it’s like that nice friend who is great company for a quick coffee but wouldn’t host a dinner party.
