Coffee Hound Uptown Normal

The barista always wants my name. I observe. She never wants from anyone else. Why do they want from me only? Is it xenophobia? I am here for two years and I often visit your cafe.

I always ask for extra hot coffee. I get warm at best.

Exquisite cortado and the avocado toast was on point. The staff was cool and friendly.

Really wonderful coffee. Ordered a latte and it was delicious and my fiance ordered the avocado toast and was not disappointed! Reason for 4 stars, is that there were no gluten free options for food. Not even individually wrapped pre made items.

It seems Coffee Hound would benefit from a bit of proper supervision. The baristas seem more interested in talking amongst themselves than brewing coffee. In our most recent trip, the barista's friends came in and were allowed to bypass the line. That's a frustrating experience when you're in a hurry. I have not been enjoying my experiences in the spring 23 semester.

I enjoyed the environment that includes plenty of tables to study or socialize. Baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. Great place for coffee and pastries. I had the cafe cortado and a chocolate croissant.

On an Alumni visit to ISU we decided to stop in at the Coffee Hound for a quick cup... First visit, quick service, clean shoppe, Redbird Latte and a Cold brew, everything was excellent.

Coffee is always amazing! Only 4/5 due to few experiences of barista stopping making drinks to do other tasks? Oh 🐋

Waaaaaay changed. Used to be a pleasant place with good coffee. Now the coffee is consistently stale and sour, and the pastries are hard as rocks and taste like cardboard. The display case and the counters and tables are all filthy and scattered here and there, and the food looks days old. There are no labels in the display case. The bathrooms are filthy. The baristas clearly don't care. The place used to be really nice. It used to be a fun and clean and cozy and bustling and friendly place to sit and meet people. It is no longer that. It is loud, unpleasant, and just truly sad. What a monumentally depressing shadow of its former self. What a shame.

It's Coffee Hound. What else is there to say? By far the BEST coffee in B N.
House Cortado is still my go to. Amazing. Uptown isn't as cozy as downtown but same friendly service.

Amazing. Great coffee and both sweet and unsweet pastry. I had one with caramelized onions and feta. Highly recommended!
