Houndstooth Coffee

Lavender latte for the win! Cute coffee shop, friendly employees.

I love this chain store since I was at Austin! Their coffee is brilliant. I still remembered when I got the latte here and it brought the my college life back in one second.

Their bakery is pretty good as well. Sometimes I go there just for the bakery ;p.

The location is so convenient just nearby the 75. Perfect for people to stop by on the road to work. However the entrance might be a little trickier to find since the road nearby is under construction now.

Great coffee with lots of options. The atmosphere itself is really cool! Outdoor area is nice, good seating, and very friendly baristas! Hounds tooth is my favorite place in town to get coffee.

Coffee was okay a little too tart and berry flavored for me. Sort of annoyed that the staff thought they were actually good at making coffee. Just because the decor is cool doesn't mean you can make coffee. They made assumptions about how I wanted my coffee and didn't ask or clarify. Ended up being way too sweet for my taste and I had to buy more shots to make it palatable. Super frustrating.

Update: I'm updating the review based on numerous interactions. The baristas are just rude. No other way to describe it. I'd use profanity to describe them, but then I'd be no better.

I travel for work and can give you a coffee shop recommendation for most major cities in the US. There are three major criteria I evaluate: coffee, food, people.

The coffee (most important) gets 5/5 here. They have consistent coffee with nuance in both the hot and cold variety.

The food gets 4/5. They partner with local bakers and everything I've had has been delicious. The inventory is extremely hit or miss with scraps left by lunch.

The people get 1/5. I've been coming to Houndstooth for 2-3 years and have seen numerous employees come and go. The employees at Houndstooth seem unhappy and it comes across in the interactions. Portland/Seattle/New York baristas seem friendly in comparison.

Cute spot & good coffee, but I wish there were more indoor seating options. It’s a great place to go if the weather is nice though.

Phenomenal espresso and tea. Haven't tried the coffee yet, but definitely will soon. Professional and friendly service. Will be back often.

The people the two Baristas with short hair are rude. Every time we have picked up coffee, when we have asked if something is available, if it's not they cut you off and say no rudely.

Great Coffee - No breakfast tacos! The espresso and coffee is really stellar, setting is nice and modern, but not particularly cozy. The Google description mentions breakfast tacos, but they definitely only serve pastries as a food option as of Jan 2020.

Quick service, delicious coffee and a nice variety of outdoor seating
