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.

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.

Love the environment, baristas are super friendly and coffee is great!!But the wifi sucked… I came here to work and couldn’t get much done because I could hardly stay connected.

The coffee at this place was underwhelming and did not meet my expectations for a barista cafe. I would not come back here for coffee.

Perfect patio to sit outside and listen to the city wake up in the morning. Pretty mellow way to start the day.

Quaint little cafe strategically located in the CBD of Austin. Finally a coffee shop in the US that does a chocolate drink right, though I would have wished it came in a much larger size and with less ice. It was so good and I had a second cup. It does not have a kitchen so only small sandwiches/burritos and some pastries are available. It sees a lot of customers but a good number are takeaways, leaving plenty of seating available. Overall a great place to get some work done.

To me this was disappointing. The drip coffee was not good. The place itself is nothing to write home about.

The goofy soy boy long haired barista tries to pick fights with customers because they are too incompetent to complete the basic duties of their very simple job. Arrogant yet incompetent, a hilarious mix.
