Pink Hippo Cafe
603 Portsmouth Ave, Kittery, ME
Crema's Take
“Pink Hippo Cafe is a bright, welcoming spot in Kittery where the baristas—particularly Katrina—genuinely care about crafting drinks that showcase the coffee's natural flavors, whether you're ordering a signature creative drink or a straightforward iced coffee. The cutesy, clean atmosphere pairs perfectly with their excellent pastries from local bakery Congdon's, and the friendly staff make it worth the drive even if you're not in the area, plus they've got a nice partnership with the local credit union for complimentary coffee deals.”

Cutesy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious pastries. I got the maple square and a complimentary cup of coffee from the deal they have with the local HRCU. The coffee was okay, but the real star is definitely the pastries.
I find excuses to go to the Portsmouth area just to get Pink Hippo. The way they make the coffee preserves the taste of the blend, Katrina is wicked nice and makes fun drinks, and they serve Congdon’s donuts! Still haven’t found chai tea or coffee made as well nearby.
I’m not much of a cafe guy or really into Pink, although Hippo’s are pretty cool. This place was great, bright, welcoming, and the service was top notch. I had a chai tea latte and a honey bun (a couple times a year occurrence) and both possibly the best I’ve ever had. Must try spot!!
Loved this place. The barista made awesome suggestions, the decor is super cute, and the iced coffee is to die for !! Going to be a new local fave!!
The Pink Hippo Café is connected to a bank and is all the way to the right side, as you pull in. The signage is a little hard to see from the road. As you walk in, it is cutely decorated and clean. There are many local baked goods to choose from. There is also local vendors showcasing super cute gifts for sale. I ordered six donuts, a bagel and a double latte and it cost me $40 with tip. Service was fantastic. The ladies there were super friendly and kind. The apple fritter was amazing! The bagel and coffee were ok.
