Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 26, 2018An Austin original, Houndstooth is a coffee aficionados paradise, dolling out a variety of fine espresso, pour over, house brew, expertly frothed cappuccinos, and a tasty variety of pastries. 5/5Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Went here more than daily on my last Austin visit for their truly excellent espresso) with several choices of beans). The unique coffee julep is worth a try. They have breakfast tacos if you're early.
Jeffrey HendricksMarch 13, 2014What an excellent cup of fresh pour-over coffee. This is not a frilly girly sugary coffee drink place. They are purists who specialize in real coffee, espresso, cappuccino, etc. very, very good.
Kyle ByeJune 1, 2017The Japanese iced coffee and blueberry iced tea are both solid options for your summer caffeine fix.
Excellent coffee, has a few pastries and treats you can buy to go with. Great space for working. The 5GHz wifi doesn't reach the outdoor patio unfortunately.
Stina P.March 12, 2017the banana walnut bread and cold brew. lots of seating for a meeting or quick work in your computer including outdoor patio coffee stand. they sell counter culture and pt's coffee
Allie MahlerMarch 12, 2015Awesome coffee shop in downtown Austin. Excellent selection of coffee (hot and iced). They do coffee tastings twice a week. Grab a seat by the window and linger all afternoon.
Everything everything everything! Get any of the beans on the clever, make sure you have 5 mins to spare-worth it! Excellent staff as well. Top notch courtesy and coffee knowledge.- Brandon NelsonNovember 27, 2017These guys know what they are doing. If you are looking for a good fresh cup, this is the place to go. Nice single origin pour overs available and good beans
Ben MackeySeptember 3, 2018I would be pretty disappointed with the flavour of this espresso in NYC or Australia, so it pains me to say that this is the best flat white in Austin.
Sarah Jo SautterSeptember 17, 2015Ask for their special brew. The barista really knows his beans. Tell him what you like and he'll tell you which coffee.
Favorite option for good coffee in the downtown area. Great pour over and even the batch is delicious. Staff always kind and helpful.
Scott RoseOctober 6, 2017As far as I could tell, this is the only place in Austin that takes coffee seriously - possibly nobody wants to try to compete, because they do it very well indeed. Pour-overs are the thing here.
Pedro Seguel VarasMarch 27, 2018Just tried the seasonal special of cocktails coffee! Wonderful flavor, maintaining rich full expreso flavors!
Austin ChronicleOctober 29, 2013This coffee shop comes well supplied with addictive Cuvée and Tweed coffee beans as well as baristas that pour out the tastiest and most gorgeous rosettas in the city.
Anders MellbrattSeptember 17, 2018Friendly people, great coffee! Accessible by meerkat scooter transport 🛴
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013A multi-method and multi-roaster, which means that alongside regular roasters (like Cuvee, Intelligentsia, etc.) they bring in guest coffees all the time.
TiffanyApril 19, 2016Serves up counter culture coffee. You'll find plenty of computer engineers here. They also have an extensive tea list and we opted for an earl grey tea latte instead.
Nick GorczynskiJanuary 4, 2019Good coffee and friendly staff. You order and get your drink and pay when it’s ready so the line forms to the left near the espresso machine.
Mod rustic in tone, atmosphere is both open and welcoming, however they get failing grades on lack of plugs. Staff is knowledgable and awesome as you would come to expect. Good place for a meetings.
@livehappy8 ForbesJanuary 14, 2014Cortado w/San Sebastian espresso is wonderful for someone who prefers a lighter, more floral coffee, but w/all the caffeine punch
Chris B VillasenorMarch 12, 2019Pour over, cappuccino and chocolate latte ❤️ this specifically was perfect! Friendly staff!
Josh NolanMarch 12, 2019Great pour over and espresso drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff. A must go!
Hama-LycheeSeptember 17, 2019Excellent little place to enjoy a coffee in Austin downtown. Highly recommended.
Michelle WilesJuly 15, 2018Decor is pretty sterile. No comfortable chairs, either. Not a place to command $6 coffee IMO
- Finally a top tier coffee spot in dowtown Austin! Amazing pourover coffee without the hike up north.
ShadiDecember 13, 2015What a great place to start your day. Very nice staff and the Coffee is superb. Try the drips..
Corey WardApril 7, 2013This ain't no kiosk no mo'! Come get a shot of single origin espresso while ogling their as-of-yet not in use siphons. Coffee culture is alive and well in Austin!
Nice coffee shop, good coffee. It's on a bit of a bitter side, I prefer patika (across the street), but it's still very good
Chris NesladekFebruary 16, 2015Artisanal coffee selections prepared with a smile. Awesome branding too!
Avneesh KohliMarch 11, 2019Beautiful coffee shop with lots of seating, the friendliest baristas, and sensational coffee
Michael WilkinMarch 16, 2015Set up your laptop, drink a million coffees and power through that to do list. Thanks to Supper for the recommendation: http://supper.mx/places/houndstooth-coffee-austin/
Barbara SmithNovember 11, 2017Delicious coffee and really nice baristas. Definitely get some breakfast tacos while you're there!
Even the pourover decaf coffee is pretty good. And you know that that's saying something.
- Get an Immortal Tea w/ honey + a single origin chocolate bar to compliment.
Thomas DuebnerMarch 26, 2017A nice place to grab a coffee and get some work done. Free wifi and many plugs.
- Corey WardJanuary 2, 2015Travelers take note: this is one of very few places in Austin you can walk into and ask for a flat white without anybody flinching.
Policarpo al FrescoAugust 12, 2023A delightful spot downtown to enjoy a comforting cup of coffee. Highly recommended!
Elliott ChengerNovember 27, 2014My goto coffee shop in Austin great variety of beans from great places.
