An Austin original, Houndstooth is a coffee aficionados paradise, dolling out a variety of fine espresso , pour over , house brew , expertly frothed cappuccinos , and a tasty variety of pastries . 5/5

Sven

Went here more than daily on my last Austin visit for their truly excellent espresso ) with several choices of beans). The unique coffee julep is worth a try. They have breakfast tacos if you're early.

Jeffrey Hendricks

What an excellent cup of fresh pour-over coffee . This is not a frilly girly sugary coffee drink place. They are purists who specialize in real coffee , espresso , cappuccino , etc. very, very good.

Kyle Bye

The Japanese iced coffee and blueberry iced tea are both solid options for your summer caffeine fix.

Adam K.

Excellent coffee , has a few pastries and treats you can buy to go with. Great space for working. The 5GHz wifi doesn't reach the outdoor patio unfortunately.

Stina P.

the banana walnut bread and cold brew . lots of seating for a meeting or quick work in your computer including outdoor patio coffee stand. they sell counter culture and pt's coffee

Allie Mahler

Awesome coffee shop in downtown Austin. Excellent selection of coffee (hot and iced). They do coffee tastings twice a week. Grab a seat by the window and linger all afternoon.

Brandon Nelson

These guys know what they are doing. If you are looking for a good fresh cup, this is the place to go. Nice single origin pour overs available and good beans

Dylan Roberts

Everything everything everything! Get any of the beans on the clever, make sure you have 5 mins to spare-worth it! Excellent staff as well . Top notch courtesy and coffee knowledge .

Ben Mackey

I would be pretty disappointed with the flavour of this espresso in NYC or Australia, so it pains me to say that this is the best flat white in Austin.

Sarah Jo Sautter

Ask for their special brew . The barista really knows his beans. Tell him what you like and he'll tell you which coffee .

Larissa Vaz

Favorite option for good coffee in the downtown area. Great pour over and even the batch is delicious. Staff always kind and helpful.

Scott Rose

As far as I could tell, this is the only place in Austin that takes coffee seriously - possibly nobody wants to try to compete, because they do it very well indeed. Pour-overs are the thing here.

Pedro Seguel Varas

Just tried the seasonal special of cocktails coffee ! Wonderful flavor, maintaining rich full expreso flavors!

Austin Chronicle

This coffee shop comes well supplied with addictive Cuvée and Tweed coffee beans as well as baristas that pour out the tastiest and most gorgeous rosettas in the city .

Anders Mellbratt

Friendly people, great coffee ! Accessible by meerkat scooter transport ????

Serious Eats

A multi-method and multi-roaster, which means that alongside regular roasters (like Cuvee, Intelligentsia , etc.) they bring in guest coffees all the time.

Tiffany

Serves up counter culture coffee . You'll find plenty of computer engineers here. They also have an extensive tea list and we opted for an earl grey tea latte instead.

Nick Gorczynski

Good coffee and friendly staff . You order and get your drink and pay when it’s ready so the line forms to the left near the espresso machine.

Ben Mackey

People rave about the Japanese ice coffee and the breakfast tacos here.

Chris B Villasenor

Pour over , cappuccino and chocolate latte ❤️ this specifically was perfect! Friendly staff !

Josh Nolan

Great pour over and espresso drinks . Very friendly and helpful staff . A must go!

@livehappy8 Forbes

Cortado w/San Sebastian espresso is wonderful for someone who prefers a lighter, more floral coffee , but w/all the caffeine punch

Martín

Mod rustic in tone, atmosphere is both open and welcoming, however they get failing grades on lack of plugs. Staff is knowledgable and awesome as you would come to expect. Good place for a meetings.

Michelle Wiles

Decor is pretty sterile. No comfortable chairs , either. Not a place to command $6 coffee IMO

Hama-Lychee

Excellent little place to enjoy a coffee in Austin downtown. Highly recommended.

Thrillist

Houndstooth installed a pecan-slab experimental coffee bar where they'll be doing single-origin siphon brewing! Read more

Nate Slayton

Best espresso in Austin?! Perhaps...

Geoff Reinhardt

Finally a top tier coffee spot in dowtown Austin! Amazing pourover coffee without the hike up north.

Alex Price

Espresso , power outlets , and great staff ! Perfect for client meetings!

Roz Thomas

Beautiful macchiato and the coffee and walnut doughnut was delicious.

Corey Ward

This ain't no kiosk no mo'! Come get a shot of single origin espresso while ogling their as-of-yet not in use siphons . Coffee culture is alive and well in Austin!

Shadi

What a great place to start your day. Very nice staff and the Coffee is superb. Try the drips..

Irina Leonidovna

Nice coffee shop , good coffee . It's on a bit of a bitter side, I prefer patika (across the street), but it's still very good

Chris Nesladek

Artisanal coffee selections prepared with a smile. Awesome branding too!

Evan Chen

Friendly baristas ! I got the pour over which was great!

Avneesh Kohli

Fantastic coffee , doughnuts and they also serve breakfast tacos .

Even the pourover decaf coffee is pretty good. And you know that that's saying something.

Marc S

Cappuccino . Simple. Classic. Whole milk . Perfectly made.

Thomas Duebner

A nice place to grab a coffee and get some work done. Free wifi and many plugs.

Eric Hinman

Get an Immortal Tea w/ honey + a single origin chocolate bar to compliment.

Corey Ward

Travelers take note: this is one of very few places in Austin you can walk into and ask for a flat white without anybody flinching.

Mouni Reddy

Great staff , modern vibe and good coffee
