What people say
"There are quite a few coffee shops in Fitzrovia these days. Kiss The Hippo has a few branches in the area as well. They are known for ethical bean sourcing and carbon-neutral roasting and do some pretty good coffee drinks as well. I stopped by their Berners St. & Goodge St. corner branch recently and was served a strong, nicely flavoured Cortado. Espresso was solid, milk tempered its strength, fair amount of foam to add enjoyable texture to the drink. On the whole, this was a good afternoon white coffee that I was able to enjoy. Would gladly pop back into this Kiss the Hippo or its sister branches based on this experience."
