"The walls are lined with vintage espresso machines, and the owner can account for every one. The espresso holds up to the collection."

Kiss the Hippo runs its own roastery, and the Fulham Pier counter makes that count: flat whites with properly calibrated milk, a riverside seat worth sitting in.
The V60 menu runs three tiers, Standard through to Exclusive, which is the kind of single-origin differentiation Fulham doesn't usually offer. Guest roasters rotate year-round alongside Plot Roasting, which keeps the offer honest.
The Naive Company roasts on-site and sources direct from the farms, with single origins from Colombia, Honduras and Brazil available in-cup and retail.
