Hippo Café - Pražírna kávy — Restaurant in Prague

Really nice and helpful guys working here, but the egg coffee was a bit strange.

I came here exclusively for the egg coffee as I love it and it's so hard to find anywhere. It is served in a wine glass... which is very weird for hot coffee. It was a bit nice since it was chilly outside and I could warm my hands, but it cooled so quickly. They also layer it with milk foam on top of egg foam? The coffee ends up not really that hot. The milk foam makes the egg foam a bit more fluffy when you mix them, but I'm not convinced it's necessary. There also is not much actual coffee, so I didn't get to truly enjoy their roast. Next time, I think I'll stick with something that showcases their beans and house-roasts instead.

As I am not an expert on egg coffee, I can't say whether this is an authentic way to serve it in certain parts of Vietnam or not. I have never had any place serve it to me like this, but that doesn't mean much. I just was a bit bummed it got cold so fast since it was in a wine glass.

Inside is great! So many Vietnamese coffees to choose from to buy. And the guys there really can walk you through which ones are best for your tastes. I learned a lot about Vietnamese beans and roasting. The prices are really good too.

Definitely the best place in SAPA for this style of coffee, and to buy coffee...

After a great bbq pork lunch in SAPA we were ready for a good coffee but until today I hadn’t found any place worth mentioning. So this afternoon I was very happy to discover a little hidden gem of a coffee emporium in the SAPA Vietnamese shopping town. The Hippo Cafe is on the second floor of a dingy grey building (like most of the rest of SAPA) but once you climb up the stairs, you enter through a nice glassed-in terrace to a world of wonderful in-house roasted coffees, comfortable seating and a selection of delicacies. The staff is young, friendly, and speak both English and Czech without a hitch. It has a pleasant vibe with a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere. The cappuccino I had was rich and full bodied, with a unique, pleasant flavour unlike any other coffee shop I’ve tried in Prague. My colleague had an Americano with whipped cream which he said was excellent. Intrigued, I brought a 1/2 kg of freshly roasted beans to bring home to it try again. I was also surprised by their pretty impressive wine selection. They have a good range of quality French, Spanish and...

This is one place that is hard to beat. We love the staff. The young waiter (Kevin) is the perfect gentleman and we love the smell of the freshly roasted coffee when you approach the end of SAPA. Everyone who works here is amazing and we are always welcomed with a smile and it feels like we come home every visit we make. The smell just beckons you in and we have yet to be disappointed. This is where coffee is roasted and prepared with love and skill. The prices are very very very reasonable and to be honest, probably the lowest for the quality that it offers. It should not come as a surprise that sometimes we just make the one hour trip from the center of Prague, just to enjoy the perfect coffee here. So far we have never been ...
