Meet The Pips

The walls of Pip’s Café are home to a colorful cast of characters we all know and love from literature, movies, and culture - each a memorable "Pip" in their own right. From Victorian marshes to basketball courts, and even animated misadventures, we imagine this is where all these Pips would gather for coffee and treats, swapping stories and sharing laughs. Each Pip brings their own personality, quirks, and favorite song to the table, adding a dash of character and imagination to the café. So while you enjoy your cinnamon roll or latte, take a moment to meet the Pips - because at Pip’s, good company (and a little whimsy) is always on the menu.
