We were so happy to have Happy Hippo serving hot drinks, donuts, and Christmas magic at our outdoor block party. They were on time, upbeat, and efficient. Great communication—and yummy treats! The bubble machine is a big hit too.
We had Happy Hippo Shaved Ice for my nephew’s birthday party and it was a hit! They were very professional, engaged with the children and went above and beyond to help make the party a success. Definitely will be using them again!
Thank you to Cobe and Happy Hippo. They responded quickly and we held a wonderful corporate event. Cobe was extremely kind and flexible. We had some challenges with set up because of the weather. Cobe handled the challenges with grace and humor. We definitely recommend Happy Hippo.
