Consistently excellent espresso with a zero-compromise approach to craft

Our Take
Houndstooth Coffee has long been a benchmark for specialty coffee in Austin, with a clean, well-lit space and baristas who genuinely know their craft and take latte art beyond the performative. It's a solid charming spot with institutional credibility — reliably excellent without needing to show off.
