Food: the strongest cortado! Order this if you want an extreme amount of energy to walk around downtown Austin Service: very friendly! Told the barista I like it sweet and he suggested trying a local honey Ambiance: very relaxing & clean. I suggest picking up a coffee here and begin exploring the city as a local or tourist :)

Such a cute little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating options. Coffee was really good and so was the service.

My scone and black cold brew were pretty bland. Way too expensive for what you get. The breakfast tacos catered by a nearby company were good

I can't have caffeine and always struggle to find good decaf that I can order without judgement. Their decaf espresso is fantastic quality and I love the honey + lavender syrup in a latte. Great service that didn't scoff when I ordered decaf and very helpful in suggesting other places to visit in Austin.

Delicious vanilla oat milk latte. The baristas were personable and friendly. The shop was located at a convenient spot on our walk to the Capitol. And there was plenty of seating, both inside and outside in a lobby area. I would definitely recommend Houndstooth Coffee if you're in Austin!

My second time having Houndstooth and dont have a strong impression of this place. The drinks are solid, everything is alright nothing exceptional. Oatmilk matcha was 7/10 and same as Americano. The seating at Houndstooth tend to be a little uncomfy to sit in - for both central austin/and downtown location. Staffs are standard, nothing to write home about.

Yup. Coffee snob, here. The smell of the grounds when you first walk in is a pretty good indication. Espresso was dialed- important. Baristas on point, quirky, hospitable. Milk foam A+. Sweet, artisan industrial concrete floors, comfy wooden furniture, views of the street- all the makings of a solid coffee spot. Highly recommend.

Sometimes when I don’t want to drive from our paltry apartment, we’ll hop on the bus and walk a couple blocks for some coffee. We seem to always get here right before it gets busy, which is lucky for us, because they get busy. Then I’ll pretend I know what it’s like to live richly in the Frost tower, likely saddled with debt and scared to stain my teeth while I use a straw with my sippy lid and forget the planet ever suffers, our future selves filled with 99% microplastics regardless. They really try to push those TacoDeli tacos, but they put mashed potatoes. Why.Anyway, the coffee is just fine. It tastes great on a good day, which we’ve had 4/5 times. Expensive like everywhere else in town that’s not a gas station, but less than *others* I’ve visited. The baristas are always on point and we’ve never have to wait longer than a minute for our drinks.

March 2024Houndstooth Coffee is great and very conveniently located for me where I park at the Frost Bank building when I need to go to downtown. I just order a black drip coffee what ever available and every time tastes very smooth without a bitter taste. On busy days like during SXSW they serve coffee outside along with breakfast tacos from Taco Deli and pastries. This make it quicker to avoid standing in a long line.The staff is very friendly and will talk to you about the coffee beans.
