Coffee Hound Uptown Normal

The barista knows coffee. I asked questions about their roasts available for a pour over. She said they had no pour over but suggested a similar brew method (Clever brew). It was excellent (a washed Ethiopian coffee). Prices are to be expected for artisan coffee. Atmosphere is typical of these types of coffee shops. Roasting is done on site in a small batch drum roaster with computer monitoring. The only downside I noticed from my first visit was the layout. It was not conducive to the morning rush. Located in an old downtown Bloomington building, it's typical narrow yet deep layout becomes crowded quickly.

I love their coffee (same as any other place really) but their new lids are terrible. got to my car and put it down and the lid just popped right off. Put it back on and leaving my car i was holding it at the bottom of the cup and the lid popped off again spilling hot coffee all over my hand. Please replace lids with sure snap lids because the lids to no snap on securely

Welcoming, Nice and cozy atmosphere - service was amazing and had vegan carrot ginger donuts

Stopped in for a Mexican mocha latte because the Kilgus milk makes them amazing and the cashier asked me if I wanted it hot or iced - I said hot. Then the barista made it iced - I told her it was supposed to be hot and she put it on the back counter. I check email on my phone while she remakes it and sets it on the counter and never tells me it is ready. This latte cost me almost $5 so I asked for it the way I ordered but she gave me attitude and stink eye. The other baristas I've had during the school year have been great but this experience doesn't make me hesitant to return.

They have everything from "I need a little pep me up" to "I don't want to sleep for a couple days". Great flavor. Shot of espresso with a little steamed milk is perfect with a shot of flavor! Bit expensive but it is worth it occasionally. Great!

Coffee Hound always has great coffee. This location is really close to campus, so it is usually pretty full, but other than that the laid-back atmosphere is a great place to get some work done if you can leave the office.

Great spot- lovely staff, good coffee. Niko is the man. If you have allergies and still fear the 'paleo' and 'gluten free' signs are more fad than factual- rest easy! I get a pastry 2-3 times a week and have never been sick. Hallelujah

Only four stars because this place can get crowded and the coffee is a bit expensive. Even a simple brew coffee is over $2.00 for a small. Not to say they don't have amazing coffee and espresso, because they do. Just sometimes I'm not willing to pay the price. When the baristas make your drink, you can tell they take pride in their creations. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent on all counts! Met the owners some years ago on coffee sourcing trip in Guatemala, great people. A real Coffee experience, can't wait to go back 😎☕

I ordered the Mexican Mocha today and it was definitely the best in town.
