"A brunch spot near Richmond station where Curious Roo supplies the espresso. The coffee is better than the setting makes clear."
26a The Quadrant, Richmond TW9 1DL, UK
Two guest roasters cycle through every month, their beans on filter, espresso, and the retail shelf. The sourcing rotation is the menu.
Stovepipe is the house roaster, with retail bags on the counter if you want to carry it home. Food gets the headline, but the espresso earns its own visit on Kew Road.
Kiss the Hippo owns the roastery, and the Richmond branch is where you drink the output: single origins on espresso, pour-over on the menu, baristas who'll tell you what's in the bag.
