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

A Fulham bar where the vintage espresso collection is the argument, not the decor.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Owner-curated collection of vintage espresso machines, each with a documented history
  • Italian espresso heritage: classical house approach, espresso-focused over filter
  • Neighbourhood independent where the coffee is the draw, not a supporting menu item

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Fulham Pier★★ Specialty

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.

Carbon Kopi★★ Specialty

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.

Naive★★ Specialty

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.
