Great cappuccino

Our favorite coffee place in the domain area. However inside should be cleaner and more neat especially where they store the glasses or prepare coffee. Staff doesn’t clean on the tables or floor after usage. Ordering system is also weird, they ask you to move other side when you enter, that’s not making sense to me. I hope management will take this serious.

Such a nice place and good coffee. The atmosphere is commendable and the staff super friendly and professional. It can be hard to find parking nearby but that's probably an issue with many other places in the area.
Parking: There are various free parking options around the area but it can be very difficult to find a spot.

Unfortunately, this was one of my least favorite coffee shop experiences. From the moment I walked in, there was no greeting or acknowledgment. When I approached the counter, the barista directed me to order at the espresso bar—right next to her—so I moved over, only to be completely ignored by the second barista. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being profiled in some way, as the barista with short hair refused to acknowledge me at all.
The menu was extremely limited. While I was looking at the only menu they had, the barista told me to order again at the espresso bar in a judgmental tone, even though I was simply trying to decide on my order. Meanwhile, the other barista continued to ignore me, making the whole interaction uncomfortable. I left right after I received my order.
On top of that, the shop lacks outlets, making it an impractical place to operate in. If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming environment with good service, this isn’t the place. Customer service training is definitely needed here.

Cute coffee shop. But there are no outlets and the WiFi / internet is very slow.

Pretty good espresso. I prefer not to be called boss-man, though.

Let me know when you start carrying unsweetened plant-based milks. Do you have 7 g of added sugar to your cow milks? Didn't think so, so why punish those of us who don't drink cow milk? Weird to make us have sweet coffee.

Houndstooth Coffee is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers. The place is always buzzing with people, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Despite being budget-friendly, the quality of the coffee is outstanding.
The menu is simple, focusing on what they do best: coffee, a few pastries, and a selection of alcoholic beverages. The vibe, location, and crowd make it an ideal spot to enjoy great coffee and engage in some real, face-to-face interaction.
Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality coffee and a vibrant, social setting!

Liked the place and the hot chocolate, but I had to leave to get a place where I could plug my laptop. Nice place, but if you wanna work on your laptop for long hours, then you might want to consider places you can plug into power.

With a great location, atmosphere and service, Houndstooth Coffee could easily become your go-to Coffee Shop in The Domain, if you're a digital worker like me.
The only reason why I don't give it a resounding 5⭐️ is because it doesn't have plugs 🔌 so necessary to charge your computer, cell phone or equipment.
Of the rest, I love the chocolate cut ☕️ and the peach blossom tea 🫖 that they offer here, the music and the good vibes. It is perfect to come and read while you drink your coffee/tea, or if you want to have an outing to talk with your friends/partner.
I always come back, but if I go to work I bring my equipment already 100% charged🔋
Parking: Depending on the time you will find places. But you can always park your vehicle in the free spaces available in the surrounding area.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are access ramps for people with wheelchairs, and space to sit comfortably inside the coffee shop.

A taste of California in the middle of Texas. I don't love it and I don't hate it. I am not a frappuccino or cappuccino kind of guy. All I do is drink coffee. The one time that I went there their coffee machine was down.

Baristas are inattentive unless you're their friend or partner
