3 1/2 stars There 's a lot to like here. Blue Hippo is in a convenient location with ample street parking definitely helps this time of year when the parking meters are covered up for the holidays , with a very chill, almost ski lodge like atmosphere and an impressive menu with numerous coffee and brunch options. The food was really solid, as was the coffee. Unfortunately, what should have been a slam dunk, universally positive experience was marred by the service. It 's certainly something that can be remedied going forward, but in the moment dampened my enthusiasm for this place.My noble chum and I stopped by yesterday morning for brunch. From my brief recon, it seemed like the first regis...

I have never ever not left a tip before, and this restaurant was my first time which was so difficult to do. The service was atrocious and food wasn’t all that. It took 15 minutes after being seated to even receive a menu and be asked if we wanted anything to drink. I had to stand up and grab the menu myself and that’s when the waiter realized to ask if we wanted a drink. My food took 45minutes and people who came in after me got their food faster. At one point the waiter just kept ignoring my bids for her attention. The excuse was that they were busy understaffed with only one cook, however I understand that and it is a terrible situation and very difficult. it’s not the customers responsib...
We had ordered from this restaurant before and were disappointed in the quality and taste of the food considering the prices. Despite our initial experience, we decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, we were once again let down. I ordered the avocado toast for $17, expecting a generous serving of fresh crumbled Feta and a side salad based on the price and photo. However, there was no side salad and the Feta that was included lacked flavor and seemed low quality. The whole grain bread tasted artificial and rubbery, reminiscent of something from a grocery store bread aisle. My husband's sandwich was also underwhelming. While the menu was creative, the overall taste and quality of the f...
Really nice new shop with food. The espresso is a little too sour for me but the coffees (other than espressos) I've had are all very enjoyable. I had a brunch option there and it was frickin delicious.Went for an evening visit. Really nice guy, Brett, working the counter. Good music, cool ambience. Wish they offered a decaf pourover because I get tired of having to order decaf americanos, which by nature have a less intense flavor (in my humble opinion). Great place to hang out. Met a nice local gentleman, Lou, and had some good old-fashioned coffee shop conversation. They have a stage which they are apparently expanding in order to have more live entertainment/open mics, which I think is g... Book a table now
My extended family, who have a variety of dietary preferences, enjoyed a lunch at this restaurant. While the vegan options were limited, there was a helpful vegan staff member who assisted me in ordering a delicious Tik Tok wrap filled with vegan chicken, arugula, red onions, sun dried tomatoes, and dijon mustard. I also loved the Shaken Berry Iced Tea. Fortunately, we were able to try the vegan lemon pound cake, which was a hit with everyone. Although the vegan options on the menu are limited, I would return just for the baked goods if I were in the area again.
After reading the positive Google reviews praising the outdoor dining in the back of the restaurant, we decided to have a casual lunch there. However, we were informed by the cashier that the back area was currently under construction. The only outdoor seating available was in the front, which was on the sidewalk of a bustling street. This was quite disappointing and we were not impressed. Additionally, the staff could benefit from improving their communication skills and enunciation.
Came for a Saturday brunch and had a pleasant experience. I got the London fog, which was okay, but I really liked the latte my partner got because it wasn’t too sweet like most places. The food was also tasty and good portion sizes, we left feeling stuffed! One dish we got had poached eggs and the eggs were medium and not runny like I expected. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars because the ambiance is awesome, and the food and drink are good, but nothing was phenomenal.
Not at all impressed. Visiting from out of town and Blue Hippo was recommended for a coffee place. Called to find out if they had gluten-free toast for their breakfasts, and was asked to hold. I did so for 10 minutes before someone hung up the phone. I called back, the phone was picked up and immediately hung up again. I called back, was told to hold, and after another few minutes, I decided Blue Hippo, wasn’t worth it. Book a table now
The coffee at this restaurant is amazing and they give you a good amount of it. I especially loved their matcha latte. The food deserves a perfect 5 out of 5 rating.
I absolutely loved this quaint little Cafe. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it!

"Place is pretty good. You should definitely do something with the grease trap, that's behind the counter. When you walk in, all you can smell is a dirty locker room/ dirty dish water. Not food. It's kinda gross!!"
