Went twice when back on campus recently. The team is so friendly and made the coffee fast. Enjoyed their iced lattes and had the blueberry muffin. Highly recommend stopping by.

I experienced very rude workers at this coffee shop. I asked for a traditional cap in ceramic and 2 pour overs. The traditional cappuccino was served to me in a paper cup. I asked nicely to please put in a ceramic cup as ordered. The employee got very rude with me and reluctantly made one in a ceramic cup. I then noticed the other employee pouring water through the bleached filter, but reusing it for the pour over coffee. I asked her to use fresh water for the actual pour over like you are supposed to. She did not like that and got upset with me. The manager then came out and gave me a refund. The manager stated I was right about how to do a pour over. I will never go back to Coffee Hound after being a customer for 15 years. These employees ruined ? it for me!!! I am appalled ? how the service has gone downhill. I will now go back to Peoria where they know how to serve their customers with a smile. Coffee ☕️ Hound better learn how to treat their customers. I am done and pissed!!! Word of mouth will hurt this place and I will make sure of it. Do not go here to buy coffee!!!! They must have gotten too big for their britches!!!

Oat milk latte was textured perfectly. (I work in the coffee industry for 7 years now). I love a coffee shop that actually takes time to do latte art even if they put a lid on the cup. It proves that they are trained consistently and care about each drink. I would say it's a bit overpriced. $6.37 for a medium oat milk latte (no flavors) is pretty ridiculous. Should not upcharge that much for milk to be honest.

Love the coffee here! Just tried their seasonal pumpkin spice latte and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly as it was very crowded in the cafe. We enjoyed an orange and chocolate chip scone which was yummy.

Ordered a dirty chai after a quick dialogue with the barista. It was perfect.

I don’t write reviews very often, but the iced vanilla latte I got was phenomenal. Service was a little slow , but the people working were incredibly sweet! The environment was calm and relaxing- would definitely go there to study sometime.

They messed up our order twice and took very very long to make it. We ordered avocado toast. It took them more than thirty minutes to make it. It shouldn't take so long to make such a simple food item. This place is a waste of time. Definitely would not recommend it.

Tasty coffee with different flavors for it. Not bad prices and good location. I like the atmosphere inside. ☺Update 8/2023: the servers are polite and make each drink with care. Plenty of parking if you find a 2 hour parking lot, or parallel parking that's typically for 1 hr. The atmosphere is loud but sociable.

Nice big coffee house and great baked products. I live in Peoria, 30 miles away. Can’t find a morning glory muffin within 5 miles of here.
