Absolutely ridiculous to close the entire cafe without any notice to film something in the middle of the day on a Thursday. I saw multiple people try to get in as well. You should let people know when you’re closed or film before or after hours. I will not be going back.

This coffee shop lacks soul. From the atmosphere, to the staff... it's plain.

Not only is this THE place for espresso, but all the baristas are also incredibly lovely :) <3 You can tell the manager truly cares, he’s phenomenal. If you want to feel like you belong to a community, make this your cafe!

Terrible experience. My sister and I were in the area and wanted to grab coffee at a new place, definitely never going back. The server was rude and dismissive, would have let that go if the coffee was decent but it was mediocre at best.

We came in smiling and excited, but left feeling unwelcome. Thanks for reminding me that just bc a place looks cool and evolved from the outside doesn't mean it actually is, and shitty service still exists.

FYI, YES they WILL shut everything down early. And then they will not give two f’s. Ridiculous. If your hours say till 9pm then don’t clean the freaking espresso machine before then genius. Make your hours 8:30,8:45 I don’t care, but HONOR your hours.

Overpriced matcha, for it to be watery and flavorless! I asked for a lavender matcha and they gave me regular matcha! And it was a tiny cup for $7!!!!! Insanity!!

March 8th at approximately 9:35ish I walk into Houndstooth as I’m waiting in line the barista wearing a red shirt and black leggings, made it very clear to the guest ahead of me, who’d ignore her first attempt at a greeting that she DEFINITELY was not greeting me; her words verbatim, “I’m definitely not talking to him!” At this time I still hadn’t be greeted, the young lady that definitely wasn’t greeting me hadn’t greeted me, she even walked away from the counter once my turn in line had come. The guy barista took my order and made my order by this time the young lady had come back to the counter, again no acknowledgement of the patron in front of her, asked the guy what I order (when previous patrons before me had the pleasure of letting her know their order), proceeds to ring me up (still not acknowledging the paying customer) and just turns the screen around. To which then I paid and told the young lady, “thank you for not greeting me, have a great day.” While I would hate to assume that she was being intentionally racist, that unfortunately is the only conclusion to be drawn as I was the only black gay man in the establishment. So if you’re queer or black I wouldn’t not recommend this establishment as a safe environment for our communities.
