Round Rock · Georgetown · Hutto · PflugervilleHippo Café serves breakfast and brunch in Hutto, Texas, inside an old style cafe building. The 80s decor and music set the tone. The menu covers omelets, blueberry pancakes, French toast, crepes, and a chocolate explosion cake. A website is available for more information.
I'll have to see if my servers name is on the receipt later so I can mention him. He was so helpful and kind. The food was really amazing, especially the French toast and chocolate explosion cake. I've never had crepes that are not sweet and desert like before but these crepes are fantastic.. Decor is super cool.
Food was great and the service was outstanding.
Amazing atmosphere...so cool with tons of 80s decor and music!!! The food was delicious, I do wish my omelet had maybe one more egg; but it was sooooo good!!!! My wife's blueberry pancakes were so delicious I didn't even need to add syrup! If we lived closer id be here at least once a week. Definitely recommend you check it out!!!!
Not gluten free or dairy free options. But they’re up front about that and very understanding. Super friendly. Best food in town, I’m told.
Delicious brunch in a very interesting old style cafe
I had a very strange and unprofessional experience at Hippo Café. My partner and I came here because friends and family recommended it, but we ended up leaving before even eating because of the service. After ordering food and drinks, I asked for a straw. The waitress told me they didn’t have any and said plastic cups were only for to-go orders. That in itself isn’t the issue — the problem was the attitude that came with it. It was rude, dismissive, and completely unnecessary. For such a simple request, the response made the whole situation uncomfortable. Because of the way we were treated, we decided to leave. I told the waitress we were leaving due to the attitude and the situation. Instead of addressing the issue, she acted like it didn’t matter and asked about the drinks. I hadn’t even touched mine, so there was no reason I was going to pay for something I didn’t drink. The most concerning part happened after we left. While we were sitting in our car, someone from the restaurant came outside and took a photo of my vehicle. That was extremely weird and honestly inappropriate. I’m not sure why anyone would think that’s okay just because customers decided to leave. Between the rude service and someone photographing my car, the whole experience felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. I definitely won’t be returning.
