About Houndstooth Coffee

Houndstooth Coffee, located downtown, offers a solid coffee experience with super helpful and quick baristas. The cortado is a popular choice, although it may taste slightly sour due to possibly being underextracted or a feature of the roast and origin. The atmosphere is pleasant with a constant delightful aroma of fresh coffee. While the pastries can be improved, there is always the option of a small chocolate bar. The single origin coffee, such as the Burundi choice, stands out with its rich, sweet, citrusy (almost blackberry-like) notes, making it a refreshing hot drink choice on a hot day. The location is well placed, with tables inside and outside for those who want to sit and enjoy their drink. Customers have praised the quality of the coffee, especially the vanilla latte, which was described as incredibly smooth and flavorful, possibly the best either of them has ever had. The ambiance is cozy and rustic, and the customer service is friendly and engaging, with baristas who seem to genuinely enjoy their work. It is important to note that there are no tacos or "real food" at this location, only pastries and a few fridge sandwiches, so those seeking a full meal should look elsewhere. Overall, Houndstooth Coffee is a great place for coffee, tea, or a quick bite, receiving high praise from visitors for its tasty drinks and welcoming atmosphere.
